Engine Manufacturers
Each team must sign an engine supplier. Ferrari, Renault and Toyota will all have to stick with their engines however Independants are free to choose their engines. Not all engine manufacturers will be available straight away, for example Mercedes and BMW will be first choice to McLaren and Williams. Each engine has a reliabilty and a bhp setting.
Ferrari - £20m (Exclusive to Ferrari)
Mercedes - £18m (McLaren first choice)
BMW - £17m (Williams first choice)
Renault - £18m (Exclusive to Renault)
Honda - £17m
Petronas - £16m
Cosworth - £14m
Toyota - £16m (Exclusive to Toyota)
Ford - £15m
Brake Manufacturers
Each team must have a brake supplier. These will have an effect on your teams performance as you recieve random upgrades through the season
Hitco - £4m
Brembo - £6m
AP Racing - £5m
Alcon - £4m
Drivers Market
Drivers will be ready at random times throughout the season for contract negotiations whereas everything else (engines, brakes, etc) can be signed at anytime. Drivers have a set minimum contract offer so anything offered below this figure will be rejected. The driver will accept the highest offer unless his current team are within £500k of the highest bid for the driver.
Drivers can bring experience to your team, while youngsters are up and coming stars however, race them too early and they may struggle. Same goes for drivers who are pushing on retirement so keep this in mind. Each team must have at least three drivers (2 race drivers, 1 test/third driver) When making an offer, send a pm to me (Twigster151) with your offer and for which driver. Keep in mind other teams may be bidding for this driver, however they may not be. A driver will have a set time to receive offers (usually a week, 2 races etc) After that they will decide who they will race for next season. If they have no offer then they will remain available for contract talks.

Tyres
Tyres will not cost you but you must choose a tyre supplier. Changing tyres could cause your team to struggle on the new tyres, but its nothing a bit of testing won't sort out.
Extra Cash
Don't worry if you have extra cash. This can be used for next seasons mid-season testing. Testing will cost a team £250k to take part in and could help improve your car by finding that all important break through. Pre Season testing will not cost your team however. Or you could sign a new driver.

Right then, although it makes no difference the Monday deadline has now passed. I have received offers from the majority of the teams and I think I am right in saying that I am just waiting for Renault to place an offer for a third driver before I can announce which managers have signed which drivers, so the sooner I can have that the better
