F1 Manager 2004 Season

Do we get to design the liveries of our 2004 cars and sign sponsors or not?

I wasn't going to introduce sponsors into the game, and i was just going to use the 2004 liveries. Was thinking maybe small changes would be fine. Such as correct numbers, engine suppliers, tyre suppliers etc etc on the cars

BAR Statement

7th isn't a good result by the team, but we hope that we can get a better result out of it next year. The winter tests will be coming and Ralf Schumacher, Takuma Sato and Bas Leinders will do their best to get the car out and give as much feedback as possible. Bas Leinders will be eagerly waiting for a racing seat in the coming years and both drivers know that I'm not afraid of changing some seats around if the results aren't pleasing me. They shouldn't be afraid, I have all trust in both drivers and I hope it won't be needed.

Maybe sticking with 2004 original liveries will keep it simple and error free lol anyone seen or heard from Kizz lately? Just waiting on him before we get the pre-season testing under way

If Kizz isn't available, mind if I put my name forward to take over Jaguar?

Ferrari Statement

It's not long from now till we go into pre-season testing and heading for the 2004 championship. Ferrari intends to visit the circuits of Sepang and Silverstone as preparation for the new season. We believe we can set the most work there in order to get our car ready for 2004. It'll be the first time since 1994 that Michael Schumacher and Jos Verstappen will be joining each other at a team. Michael is looking forward to see how much Jos has grown over the years and is looking for a good challenge.

Minardi Statement
Minardi will be at Jerez and Silverstone to further develop the car and give Anthony Davidson a feel for the new car as he has only driven the PS02 in 2002.
We would also like to welcome new sponsors Wilux and OzJet.

Good to see managers' stating their intentions. Still no word from Kizz though.

I will send out teams reliability rating later today or tomorrow. This value has been set by random. Your performance will be set depending slighlty on how your team done in real life, how you performed last season and your signings (drivers, engine, brakes etc etc)

So far we have...

Barcelona - Jordan

Sepang - Toyota, Ferrari, Sauber

Jerez - Toyota, Arrows, Williams, Minardi, McLaren

Silverstone - Ferrari, Sauber, Arrows, Williams, Minardi, Jordan, McLaren

McLaren Statement

We can officially confirm that we will be attending the pre season test session at Jerez and Sepang

Right everyone should have recieved there teams for next season and im awaiting confirmation that everything is correct. (Bar senna as your pm is full!!) You have also recieved your teams reliability rating. This is your position out of the 11 teams depending on how reliable your car is. This will help you decide to focus more on reliabilty or pace in testing. So with that you can let me know what your teams testing focus will be at which destinations. Your focus can be different for different destinations. Then i will Randomnise how succesful each test destination is. Also is anyone interested in taking over at Jaguar. I know Diax is interested but thought i'd open it up to other teams to move teams before we bring in someone new

We can confirm as BAR that we're going to take our tests at Barcelona and Sepang.

Barcelona - Jordan, BAR

Sepang - Toyota, Ferrari, Sauber, BAR

Jerez - Toyota, Arrows, Williams, Minardi, McLaren

Silverstone - Ferrari, Sauber, Arrows, Williams, Minardi, Jordan, McLaren

Well i think Kizz has gone awol, so looks like we have a new place open which will be offered to Diax. JohnWarrington will take over the Jaguar team leaving Sauber free for Diax to take over. JohnWarrington will have to sign two drivers(2nd and test driver) asap so we get on with the season. Diax any changes you want to make, ask and i will pass it by with the guys on here and see what we can do

ps. Burazel can you confirm for Renault where you want to test thanks
