SCR is in with Bernie Bolt and Lucinda Yeung, no test driver yet.
I will need a performance file for the first race from someone, post your suggested files for testing please, note all drivers are to be equal, don't make the cars overly quick, bhp around 780Qualy & 800Race is ok. The range cannot be low as driver points have to be subtracted from this figure, therefore no driver can then be 0 range in 5 races. All drivers must get points in order to adjust each driver and teams performance throughought the season so I propose the same points system which ultimately makes my job easier to calculate the series if it uses the same points method as the WGP. I just posted the WGP points after the first round at Albert Park if anyone wants to know how it will work.

The W300 will start when there's a full grid, a firm calendar, (with no races alongside the official F1 calendar) a set of perf files, and someone to do the news items including posting the race results in jpeg form like what the WGP does now.

@Mini, are you a team owner or a driver, I personally would prefer a team-owner to be "Race Director" or preferably a Race Director who has no affiliation with the W300.

Currently Guido relinquished his driver position in the WGP to take on the race director job so I'm not in a hurry to have a W300 driver as the W300 race director, sorry but them's the rules.
It will happen but given that the WGP just started it might take a little while to get it going :-)

I have no affliation at all never posted an interest to be a team owner or driver1
No races alongside the F1 Calendar eh?
Well i do have a proposed calendar which i can alter for W300 how many races for the season? Can i include 1 or 2 non world championship races seeing as the cars cant actually test during the season?
Shouldnt the performance be higher in qualy mortal :P. and shouldnt something more like 700-730 suffice? i currently have F1 cars in my GP4 running from 855 - 800bhp

In that case you'd better do it if you're happy to, I'm aware brunoboi would have liked the job but as he's driving the field might not agree ;-)
No races alongside the F1 calendar is only because the WGP runs alongside the F1 calendar and I don't want to be doing two sets of figures in one weekend :-) How many races? How long is a piece of string? Post your calendar and team owners can decide on it later when there's more team entries.
The current perf files for wgp show drivers @ 16000q 600range or var & 16050 race and 620 range or var. Only for the first race, then the points kick in and the drivers ability & range is tweaked accordingly, a DNF = no perf tweak. Total driver points per team divided by 4 is the formula to adjust the team perf and bhp, same as the wgp.
All you need is a perf file with a realistic bhp for the w300 car, keeping in mind the highest possible score for a team is 30+25 for 1st & 2nd, giving a team total of 55 performance points. Divided by 4 = 13.75, a 13bhp addition for Q & R and 0.75 stored in the 'garage' & added after the next round as a whole number. So you cannot have a too high BHP to start off with otherwise it will climb to an unrealistically high level over the season, well in theory it might do. I will say that I know "stuff-all" about the numbers and the WGP set is based on an original by Flash Formula, only the BHP allocation has changed to a fairer mrthod. I will say that if the numbers don't work they can have an 'official change' and only by the consensus of all team owners. It's early days yet and it's all up for discussion on how you guys would like it done :-)

Could I setup a W300 team? I'm Senna BR Racing #1 driver, but I could go under a different name... maybe Gui Noronha ;). I'd paint the car and come up with 2 drivers easily :)

It all looks really interesting... having plenty of fun just reading what goes on :)

Just made it easier for myself and found the intial thread made by Flash [www.grandprixgames.org]

It looks like great fun so i'll be watching this and the WGP thread with great interest. I may want to join but it looks too complicated for me :P That and I am a huge n00b with this game, and indeed this fantasy concept too. If I get my head round it quickly enough, or if someone dares taking on a silly n00b, i'll join :D
