The World Grand Prix Championship (after a horrendous time-gap between the last season and this one) is back, ready for Season 6!

Myself and Oliverry (the other host) will be using Casari's Empire scorinator, which was used for all previous seasons.

And now, the fun stuff.

To sign up, you will need to supply:

Your team name

Then, you have 20 points to distribute between three basic qualities of the car.

Aerodynamics makes you go fast on straight lines.
Cornering makes you go fast around the corners.
Reliability stops you from being a burning oily mess up against the tire barriers.

The maximum number of points you can allocate to one area of the car is 10.

Next up, you'll need the names of the two drivers in your team. The first, in theory, should be better than your second driver, so they'll get a small bonus.

Now, each driver can be allocated a bonus point for one of the three sectors. So for instance, if you car was 7-7-6, one could be driving a car that's 8-7-6 and the other could be driving a car that's 7-7-7. Simple. However, these numbers cannot be changed once the season has started.

There will be a RP bonus allocated to these numbers, so RP is encouraged!

(You may notice some nations enter test drivers and team managers - this is for RP purposes incase you RP a crash and driver injury. Test drivers can be given their own set of numbers that correspond with the team's "default" numbers plus their one bonus area.)

One team per Nation please, and no puppets can enter at this moment in time.

Submitting A Track

To submit a track for a race, you need:

The name of the circuit,
a track map or description,
and if you drew/created it yourself, a fastest lap time would be nice to have as well, so we know how fast the cars can go.

Typical policy must require us to say - Keep it light on the Ovals, please.

The season will consist of a number of races to be chosen from applicants. Feel free to apply with multiple tracks, but if possible, a one race per nation rule will be adhered to. Each race will consist of a qualifying and race day. We're looking to host a season of at least 12 races.

Bostopia would again like to enter a team into the NS F1GP! As Champions of NSWGP 5, we will be taking driver number 00 for Adam Teraining, and 2 for Dave Prast.

Team Name: Bostopia F1
Aerodynamic: 8
Cornering: 7

Team Manager: Barry Sleed

Bostopia also wishes to submit a track.

Name: Fort Boston Park Circuit

Lap times around the 1:21.35 mark.

This Anticlockwise circuit is set in Fort Boston Park, in the heart of Fort Boston, the capital of Bostopia. Blasting down the main straight, reaching speeds of 200mph, the track will provide areas of challenge for the drivers, while maintaining the essential areas of overtaking opportunities and spectacle for the fans.

Cafundéu's F1 Team:

http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/8971/veloglogocn4.jpg

Team Name: Globo/Velog F1

Aerodynamic: 7
Cornering: 5
Reliability: 8

The car: heavily sponsored (the team manager said that the team didn't get the predicted number of sponsors, he wanted more), black, with details in yellow and green.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6563/globovelogf1wd4.png

Drivers:

Driver 1: Estive Formoso (Cafundéu): 8-5-8
Driver 2: Romergleydson Marella (Cafundéu): 7-5-9

Test Driver: João Pedro Iller (Cafundéu): 8-5-8

Team Manager: Romualdo Siqueira

About the drivers: Formoso is a driver who likes to commemorate his good results a lot, hugging people that he doesn't know and shouting everytime. Marella is quiet and cautious.

Cafundéu also wants to submit a track:

Name: Autódromo Afonso Lacraia Velog (aka Velogão)

Lap times around 1:18.750 (Romualdo Siqueira has the record: 1:18.119)

An anticlockwise circuit, the Velogão has many curves, but most of them are high speed curves. The first curve (without numbers) is extremely dangerous, and some accidents can happen in the first lap or in other ones. The curves with numbers 5, 8 and 11 demand a good brake system, but in general, this is a short and fast circuit, with areas of overtaking opportunities (probably fewer than in other circuits).

It is located in the capital city, Cafundó do Juta, near the Lake Acarajé. It is also close to many factories, especially Canabrava Cachaça's main factory, and Velog Automobiles' factory.

Important: the probability of rain in Cafundó do Juta is very high. From January to April, it reaches 50%. From May to September, it is 20%. From October to December, it is 33%.

2nd Circuit (in case of lack of circuits): Central City's Espiral Circuit (aka Labirinto)

Lap times around 2:22.500 (Ilan Barbosa has the record: 2:22.256)

This strange clockwise circuit is located in Central City, a cold place with many mountains. So, the circuit (which is in bad conditions, with many bumps and lack of security) was built in an irregular area, with many ups and downs. The circuit also has two tunnels, and the cars and drivers must be resistant to face this tough track. Another problem is its huge pit lane, which makes stopping in the pit something that wastes a lot of time, probably much more than in other circuits. The circuit has few overtaking places.

LEC LivEng Racing are back with new sponsors, the newest ISP in Liverpool England, InfoInternet. Also, the Cyclonesville track used as the LE GP in WGPC5 is back, with a few tweaks...

InfoInternet LivEng Racing:
First Driver: Troy Wilkins (11-5-5)
Second Driver: Kristjan Durant (10-5-6)
Third (reserve) driver: Mike Daniels
Car: R05-05

Aerodynamics: 10
Cornering: 5
Reliability: 5

The track:
http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/3176/legpwm4.png
Motor Racing Circuit of Cyclonesville

The new-and-improved design of the Circuit of Cyclonesville sees four new corners being added at the end of the second straight before where turn two used to be. With a track length of 4.26 km (2.65 miles), the drivers will do at least 71 laps of the circuit to make up the regulation 305 km done in a race.

The track, which maintains its triangular make-up from the original design, relies on good cornering through the third section of the track. The best overtaking opportunity is at turn 1. Both straights are fairly wide and allow for some overtaking as well.

The new hexagonal roundabout feature at the end of the second straight is sure to test the drivers, with a series of five consecutive turns that leads up into the old third section. The tight 180-degree hairpin chicane turn at turn 11 (old turn 7), which is a favourite of drivers, remains there.

Adding to the challenge is that the hexagonal roundabout at the end of the second straight is built on a mound, therefore turns 2 and 3 head upwards while turns 4 and 5 are downwards. Ample run-off space around, but accidents are sure to occur at this challenging corner.

Liverpool England has always traditionally hosted either the first event or one of the last events on the calendar, except for WGPC5, when two races were held in the country.

The track record set in safety testing was 1 min 29.438 seconds.

For comparison, the old track can be viewed here (http://img316.imageshack.us/img316/7355/cyclonesvillecircuit4dt.png).

(OOC: a quick question does the drivers numbers go by the driver's finish or the Owner/Manufactuers finish? I can't remember.)

It goes by the drivers finish. Bostopia F1's Adam Teraining won the Drivers Championship, so he WOULD get #1 (but I went for the Dick Dastardly #00 :D) and #2 would go to his team mate.

The 2nd place driver in the Championship would get #3 and his teammate #4.

Actually, here's a list of the numbers teams should get at the start of this season. If you're not using the same team name, your country can use the numbers your old team earnt at the end of Season 5.

If someone doesn't join, then the team below them in numbers will take their numbers. Right now, LE would be driving car numbers 3 and 4 if Wentland didn't join, for instance. Older teams will fill in numbers left behind.

Bostopia (Bostopia F1) - #1 & #2 - Taken #00 and #2
Wentland (Stellar-WRM) - #3 & #4
Liverpool England (LEC LivEng Racing) - #5 & #6
Milchama (Hetz va Keshet) - #7 & #8
Becquerelia (Goddeffroy Grand Prix) - #9 & #10
Quakmybush (Good Car Guys) - #11 & #12
Qazox (OX-Cola Racing) - #14 & #15
New Dracora (New Dracora Aerospace Ltd.) - #16 & #17
Rorysville (Mooseledge Systems Racing) - #18 & #19
Virginia Nova (Ukrops F1) - #20 & #21
United Transylvania (Impaler F1) - #22 & 23

As you can see, nobody gets car #13 as with RL. Qazox, you can have #13 if you want though, just let me know.

Second track:

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8033/thgptt6.png
Circuit des Îles de l'Extérieur
Outer Islands Motor Racing Circuit

The newly-built Outer Islands Motor Racing Circuit, built at a cost of L£4.1 billion, seats 240,000 and has viewing space for another 160,000. The track runs anti-clockwise and is built very differently from the other tracks in Liverpool England (Waterway Circuit in Schimpol, the WT track at Cyclonesville, and the Desert Circuit in Orean).

The track is characterised by its two main straights. Unlike most tracks, there is very little overtaking opportunity down the end of the start/finish straight due to the very tight Cliff's Edge Sequence of turns 1 through 4. However, immediately after this the long sweeping left of Protectorate leading into Islands does provide some good opportunities before drivers encounter the only hairpin bend on the track.

Turn six leads into the fourth-gear Protectorate II corner, a hard left which leads onto the back straight, named after former Prime Minister Marc Newell. Along the Newell Straight are the first intermediate marker, as well as the speed trap. At the end of the back straight what used to be the track's second hairpin has been converted into an extension section that's 0.53 km long. LEC Corner leads into the third-longest of the circuit's ten straights, and the longest of the minor ones. Named after incumbent Prime Minister Michael Harley, the straight is just under 500 m long, and leads into another short straight marked by the two Extension Corners, so named because of the nature of this section of the track.

The S-Bend Sequence is a stretched-out left-right-left sequence of corners that if stretched out any further would probably be a straight. This leads into the old Turn 9 (new turn 13, Governor-in-chief's Corner, or colloquially Gov's Corner), which is more of a parabola than courbe parabolique later down the track. A fifth-gear hard-left corner leads into the final three turns which include the track's signature, la Courbe Parabolique.

Also noteworthy is that the pit lane is a distance away from the start/finish straight. It does not run side-by-side; in fact it is on the opposite end of the podiums and parc ferme.

Lap record: 1 min 34.41 s

*Adopts manner of an underage potential WW1 recruit attempting to convince dubious staff sergeants he'd up to the job*

Amid considerable controversy, two of the major manufacturers from C&M's AutoSportSeries, Morales Racing and Patton-Carmichael, have broken from the domestic scene to form C&M United F1. And have also poached the championship's two winningist (ugh) drivers. This may possibly cause a small civil war, but don't let it bother you.

MPC Candelaria And Marquez United World Grand Prix Team (C&M, as ever, is an adequate contraction).

The Car: 4, 8, 8

(Though a considerably souped-up version, thanks to the union of two teams and many months extensive testing; the cars are still based around the old 'Indy' model in use last season. As a result, while used to taking a great many ridiculously fast corners, as well as coping with usually engine-destroying changes in surface, the GP car lets itself down on the straight.)

Drivers:

Quintin Wright: 4, 9,8 (Famed for his gung-ho approach)
Pat Berryman: 4, 8, 9 (Has won five of the last ten C&M championships to Wright's four, thanks to his slow-and-steady, marathon-not-a-sprint focus on picking up points on every race)

Test/Reserve driver: Joe Allon 4,9,8 (A virtual unknown since no other major domestic drivers were willing to 'sit on the bench', as it were, in the World GP.)

The Wentland Grand Prix circuit:

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/6817/southdownrq0.png

It is a brand new road course sweeping through the Wodeshire landscape, heavily wooded in certain parts and with an alarming tendency to rain around The Splash area - one of the few parts not named after the villages nearest to the turns. In some places the circuit runs through villages and the course becomes much tighter and twistier than the circuit map can show.

The lap record is expected to be somewhere in the 7 minute bracket as it is fiendishly fast in places.

Monteluci is a company with a long racing history. It was founded by the Monteluci Family, most notably Gilberto Monteluci. In 1907, Gilberto built his first car, the Pangea. Quickly followed by multiple, more powerful models, Monteluci soon joined the top by winning several races since their entry into racing in 1913. His cars were the absolute benchmark in both luxury and speed, while also offering unparalleled driving dynamics. Gilberto was a frequent guest in all kinds of races around the world, especially when his cars participated. In 1934, he built the truly magical Tipo 188, which quickly conquered the racing world and lead the world’s most prestigious drivers to the finish in agonizing races of skill and tactics. The Tipo 188 was constantly improved to remain the world benchmark, and the vehicle remained top-notch until 1940, when the racing leagues were halted to favour the Second World War. During the war, Monteluci mainly constructed trucks and other light vehicles, to fulfil the large orders made by the national Armed Forces. During the war, Gilberto Monteluci died, 63 years of age, due to a fatal accident in the Monteluci factory in Venezia (Venice). After the war, Monteluci had to restart production of automobiles, since their pre-war vehicles were considered outdated by the new direttore generale, Battisto Monteluci, and he immediately ordered the development of new automobiles, which included a new Formula 1 car. Once again, Monteluci reigned the tracks and roads. However, interest in their road-legal automobiles was fading; Vehicles were too expensive and couldn’t compete with the cheaper VLT’s, a nationalised company established in 1946. Due to this, Monteluci relocated funds from their Formula 1 team to their road-legal department, which caused the achievements of the F1 team to slowly degrade, after a few seasons, the Monteluci F1 team was no more than a mediocre racing team, a shadow of what it used to be. The second blow came in 1973, when the oil crisis struck the Monteluci road-legal cars aswell; sales were reduced to a minimum. Through the next years, Monteluci slowly went downhill, upgrading and facelifting the 1973 models due to a lack of money. In 1995, the last update for the Tipo G came, a model which showed slight differences to the previous models, but still building on the same 70’s technologies. In 2007, the Direttore Generale of Monteluci sold the brand to VLT, becoming the manager for the next 5 years. In the last months, Monteluci has presented the new Duca, an innovative all-new D-segment model. Now, Monteluci will be joining Formula 1 again, letting old times relive. Sponsored by Radio and Television Van Luxemburg, most notably the International Branch, as well as the Van Luxemburgian Motoring association and Walter Technologie, Monteluci has contracted a small amount of sponsors, to avoid the white-and-blue livery of the race car to be clogged up with commercial logos. Monteluci F1 has officially received the blessing of the Grand Duke, which lead to the placement of the Grand-Ducal coat of arms on both the RF12 racer and the pit crew overalls. Two racing drivers have been contracted, with Daniel Baer, a well-known name within Van Luxemburg, being the first driver, and Yves Lachappelle being the second driver, providing backup for Baer. Monteluci’s manager, Afredo Monteluci, will also be the team manager, like his grandfather Gilberto. Test driver will be the 26-year old brother of Alfredo, Paolo Monteluci.

The Track:

Kreuzbad Street Course, Kreuzbadinsel (High-Res, again) (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/VanLuxemburg/KITrack1.png)
Length: 20.2 Km
Lap Record: 7:56:88 (Driven with V6-powered touring cars, may not represent F1 times)
Maximum Spectators: Variable, mostly around the 100,000 mark.

The Kreuzbad Street course was originally set up for touring car races, but can also be used for Formula 1 racing. The drivers race straight through the streets of the scenic city of Kreuzbad, the capital of the Kreuzbadinsel Colony. Inbetween the Atlantik-Curve and the Rothschildtener Garten,, speeds of 300 kilometres an hour and upwards are possible, but the driver is required to break for Rothschildtener Garten, to prevent him or her from crashing into the city park. Other interesting corners are the Große S-Kurve, stretching across two bridges over the river Kreuz. The Leeds-Karussell is a place where the cars will have to brake hard, before steering into the hairpin. Then, the Großherzog is also an interesting place, where the cars have to steer past two sharp corners, before heading towards the wide Meer-S. The most dangerous part is most likely the Reisetschanze, where the touring car driver Christian Reiset crashed his Weiß-VLT into the scenery, a wooded area of the circuit. This is because of the small downward slope, and too much throttle means that the vehicles can possibly take off and start a short scenic fly past the trees, before crashing into one of them. Unfortunately, Christian Reiset did not survive the 1976 crash, and the Reisetschanze has been named in honour of him.

A short drive over the circuit

One starts at Start-Finish, from where one travels across several unnamed corners, before hitting the Großcorniche corner, which leads out of Kreuzbad. Woods, with the occasional villa start to make up the scenery here, with foliage consisting off temperate plants, such as palms, olive trees, but also deciduous forest. The Luxkurve is a sharp corner that offers a scenic view of the Atlantic Ocean. From the Luxkurve to the Tal corner, the road descends into a small valley, from where the road starts climbing again, towards the Leeds-Karussell. There, the driver will have to slow down, to take a full hairpin, followed by another tight corner. Then, a very wide piece of asphalt will take us down to Enzelsberg, from where the road is relatively straight and level until the Reisetschanze. From there on, the road descends steeply, obliging the drivers to brake hard for the Schanze. Then we’ll head into the Facheler S-Kurve, which is relatively wide, although the road still descends from the top of the Enzelsberg (which is more of a hill) towards the Atlantic Ocean. Then, two sharp corners that make up the Großherzog. From there, one enters the city of Kreuzbad again andcan accelerate towards the Meer-S, which has a large and wide piece of asphalt in the middle. After the Meer-S, the car can use all of it’s acceleration to head towards the Rothschildtener Garten, past both commercial and residential construction, mainly higher buildings. The driver will then have to brake hard for the Rothschildtener Garten. From there, a short straight piece towards the Vogelsecke, named after the many birds that reside in that part of the Kreuzbad city park. Then the driver will drive from the Vogelsecke to Verstappenergrund, following a slight curve in the last part of the run. After Verstappener Grund, one will have to break for the Große S-kurve, covering two bridges across the river Kreuz. From there, the driver can finish at Start/Finish, having driven 20.2 kilometres.

(OOC Edit: Like I said before, I'll probably on vacation starting about halfway August. Therefore, I'd like to have the Kreuzbadinsel race, if it gets elected, at the start of the season, in one of the first races.)

Signups are now closed. I'll be posting a link to the RP & Results Thread in a moment.
