Formula One

After a few days of gauging the interest in a new Formula One season, it's time to get some serious sign ups started. Consider it open, fill out the simple sign up form below and you're in.

Puppets

Atleast for now, I'd appreciate it if we could keep this to 1 team per player. Perhaps in the future I'll open this up to puppets. Obviously, nations who choose to enter a puppet in this competition instead of their main nation are welcome to do so.

Scoring

I'll be using a modified version of the "old" NSF1 race scoring system, which takes care of Qualifying, Race Day and DNF's. Oh, with qualifying in mind, it's going to be 12 laps instead of the real system, simply because it's easiest to score.

Tracks
As of April 18th we aren't accepting any more new tracks.
I'd like to have other nations providing tracks, and you can feel free to put up a track even if you don't intend to enter a team. If you are entering a track you need to rate it in terms of Aerodynamics & Cornering, totalling 1. For example, a track which is especially hard on cornering it could be rated with an Aero of 0.15, Cornering 0.85. Also, I have been reminded that we need a record lap time for each track, so please provide that too.
Any descriptions and pictures are also welcome, and encouraged.
So, in short, to add a track I'll need:
Track Name
Aerodynamic Rating
Cornering Rating
Record Lap Time
Track Length



Teams

To enter a team the basics I need are:
A team name.
Driver name(s). (Maximum 2 per team)
Driver Ratings

For the ratings, you have 3 categories and 20 points per driver. Aerodynamics, Cornering and Reliability. Split them up and you've got yourself a driver.

Any other information (Biographies, Artwork etc) are optional.

I think that's it. Feel free to pull me up if I've missed anything.

Teams Signed Up: Upto and including Newmanistan.

Van Luxemburg, as a Number 1 Motorsport nation, welcomes Formula One with open arms to it’s nation, and would gladly host two races for the season. Our rich history in automobile racing will certainly come in handy as NSF1 visits Van Luxemburg and can taste the great motoring atmosphere.

Safety Car, front (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/VanLuxemburg/MLDsafety.png)
Medical Vehicle, rear (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/VanLuxemburg/MLDartz.png)

As in the year before, Monteluci would like to offer several vehicles to the Formula One Organization, for use as safety car and medical vehicle. Because F1 is somewhat more demanding than regular road use, the vehicle has been modified electronically wise to make the standard atmospheric 4.2 litre V8 deliver 413 HP, and modified the exhaust systems, aswell as increased the engine size to 4.7 litres and some other minor adjustments, to provide an additional 77 HP; making 490 HP.
Monteluci expects that the car, which can do 310 km/h in the 400 HP SFS version, has a top speed of about 325 km/h, while the acceleration can take place in 4.5 seconds. For safety reasons, the Duca has been equipped with permanent ‘smart’ 4-wheel drive, distributing power to all four wheels. Furthermore, the SFS has been equipped with a LED lightbar, colour orange, which has an exceptionally high light output. LED strobes have also been mounted in the grille and rear bumper of the car, as well as the blinkers, that have been modified to serve as strobe lights. The Duca is also equipped with a radio system that allows the driver or passenger to contact the F1 organisation or other instances on the course. The system can also contact Van Luxemburgian Emergency Services via the standard Van Luxemburgian network. The medical car will be equipped with a regular medical kit, as well as an AED for emergency situations. It has been equipped with the same lighting solution as the Safety Car, although blue strobe lights have also been added in for road use in Van Luxemburg, in case the vehicle needs to leave the track during an emergency situation.

Entry: Monteluci Squadra Forze Sportive (SFS) F1

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/VanLuxemburg/Montelucipoppetjes.jpg
Daniel Baer during the team presentation, one year ago

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. After having run in the last season of NSF1, which was little successful and blamed on a ‘starting team’, Monteluci Squadra Forze Sportive F1 is back with a new car, the RF13, and a team that trained round the clock to improve it’s potential. With the new RF13 and the now well-trained team, they hope to achieve a top position in the F1 world.

The Tracks:

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.
Aero: 0.1
Cornering 0.9

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.


Pista Autodromo Nazionale Motorsport Moiano, Moiano, Arvaglio, Van Luxemburg (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/VanLuxemburg/Moianotrack.png)

The Pista di Moiano (as it is abbreviated to from the official name, or sometimes called only ‘Moiano’) was originally a private track built by Gilberto Monteluci in 1909 to test his various race cars and automobiles. As the time progressed and Monteluci grew larger and became more and more infamous for it’s racing achievements, the Moiano grounds expanded until it spanned a staggering 300 hectares of proving grounds in 1946. However, the downfall of the Monteluci brand after the second world war caused the track to fall into disrepair, with large cracks appearing in the banked track in the late 1970’s. When the Motorway Police Driving School moved away from Moiano and Monteluci lost it’s subsidy for the upkeep of the track, it became even worse. Roads in large parts of the grounds, laying in forested areas, were covered over by all kinds of plants, causing the surface to be undriveable. With the VLT takeover, this all turned around. The Autodromo was lovingly restored and modernised, and parts of the track renovated so races could take place in the future. This future is now, and the Autodromo Nazionale Motorsport is open to the F1 season of 2008, being the home of Monteluci SFS F1, and hopefully host to one of the races in the season.

King David Enters F1 Team

Design Principles
As told by Technical Director Ivana Shephard

The APZ-239 is the latest in a long line of F1 cars produced in Agroprom or its former states. Starting with the Ceramix CMX-01, the APZ was developed into, above all else, a highly adaptable machine. Testing at the Agroprom Oil test track has been constant for more or less every day before the season began, and a balance has been reached which the team, including myself, were incredibly proud.

Most of the problems the team found were to do with adaptability. Initial designs were found to be excellent in high speed corners, but lacking stability in the lower speed corners. Then, when stability was found, the car was less capable at high speeds and traction deteriorated to the point where the car was almost undriveable without traction control.

Recently, however, a breakthrough was made with the suspension layout, allowing for low speed stability while maintaining the high speed set up. This, combined with new electronics provided by Rostok University and excellent tyres from Sazen Race Engineering has allowed us to adapt the car to suit our needs every time. Extra testing done by Patrik Nevel at our second test track in Petrya has further enhanced our low speed performance, and now we feel we have a car to be proud of heading into the new season.

A Lap of the Track
As described by Paul Gilchrist.

The lap starts fast as you scream along the strart / finish straight in top gear, travelling at around 180 mph. The first corner is a screamer, at around 150 mph apex speed in 5th gear. You can really throw the car into the curve, as there is a large run off area where the pits meet the track on the exit. Next is the main straight, which sweeps left and then right through Turn Two as you go down to Turn Three, The Gate. You should be aiming to break the speed trap at 200 mph. Then, you brake hard, getting right down into first gear for the hairpin. Its slippery on the exit the wider you go, so for the best time you have to keep it tight. This leads straight into the right hand Turn Four, which should be taken at 140 mph in 5th. A good exit from this corner is imperative as you go over the crest of the ridge.

The next section is my favourite. From Turn Four you run down the other side of the ridge into a full power left hand corner, Turn Five, at around 140 mph. Once more, you can really throw the car in, as there is a lot of grip and a wide run off area on the exit. However, when wet, The Waterfall is vicious. Lots of standing water combined with the slope make for a low grip, high danger corner. If good speed is carried through Turn Five, braking for Turn Six will require soft feet as it is easy to lock a brake on the slightly uphill surface. This is a good overtaking opportunity - fortune favours the brave, as courage through turns four and five mean you can get an excellent run into Turn Six.

The next section is very technical. Turn Seven is at the crest of a ridge and has a left hand bank as you brake for the entry. This guides you very nicely in to the difficult Turns eight and nine. The entry for T8 is downhill and it is off camber all the way through - it is so easy to lock a brake or miss the apex. Turn nine is very slippery, and whoever can get the power down the earliest on this difficult surface will be the quickest down the straight. Turn ten is long and not overly difficult, as long as you stay glued to the apex and get on the power early. Turn twelve quickly leads into thirteen, which is very technical - you need to stay tight to get an ideal run into T14, while still being quick.

T14 a deceptively quick right hander, where you are on the power within the first quarter of the turn in. It is full power through T15, then heavy braking again for T16. A quick left right through 16 and 17 is important, while not getting too much kerb, and a smooth run in to T18. The pit entrance is on the right and it is slippy on turn in - watch your braking. Steadily put the power on and be careful not to run wide, and then your onto the pit straight again to start another lap.

**Track runs anti-clockwise

Motor Racing Circuit of Cyclonesville

As the Circuit of Cyclonesville has 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.

Liventia 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 lap record for this track is 1 min 29.438 seconds.

Circuit d'Ad'ihan
Ad'ihan Motor Racing Circuit

**Track runs anti-clockwise

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 Liventian 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 another former Liventian 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 turn 13, the Prime Minister'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.

The origin of the name of the La Ronge hairpin comes from a nickname for the track, le castor ronge, originating from a journalist saying the track resembled a beaver chewing on something. Most analysts agree that the journalist in question had clearly drunk too much PR-provided champagne.

We're racing Formula 1, not NASCAR style.

That means we avoid ovals, and generally only run 305 km (190 miles).

Liventia is right, this is Formula 1 so we won't be accepting NASCAR style tracks. I know some of the GP race competitions do feature Ovals, but not F1.

You're also right that I neglected to ask for fastest lap times. I think while I was getting my head round the spreadsheet I managed to completely forget that was even there, because I didn't know whether it was an average lap time or a fastest lap time.

No worries, erhum.

Could all teams submitting a track please provide a fastest lap time, please.

Liventia & Van Luxemborg: You both entered two tracks, and in order to give everyone a fair chance to enter their own track I've selected 1 from each of you. This isn'tset in stone, and if we don't get enough new tracks I'll happily include your extra ones.
For now we are going with The GP of Liverpool England & The Pista di Moiano from Van Luxemborg.
If you'd desperately like to change that then feel free to let me know.

United Hetzel: You didn't give me a track name.

(OOC: No problems with the track choice. I already included the fastest lap. Btw, is the safety & medical car offer accepted?)

(OOC: No problems with the track choice. I already included the fastest lap. Btw, is the safety & medical car offer accepted?)


To be honest I haven't read the posts yet, just harvested the track and team information from them. I'll read through in 5 minutes or so and let you know.

Edit Yeah Van Luxemburg, that'll be fine. Thanks for offering to take care of it.

Pablicosta, I wish to say I will sign up, as I am extremly busy at the moment, what with one thing and about a million others I will not post a team and track at the moment, however, I will soon can I get a time when this is meant to be done by I know ASAP but if I can know when I maybe able to find an hour or so to do this.

Also, I have noticed a lot of people have put track layouts on this thread can anyone please give me some info on how to go about doing posting one and making one. (Yes I am a n00b when it comes to these sort of things)

It's good to have you on board Blouman, but there's no need to worry about getting a team in right away. I only opened sign ups today, so I'll be letting it run for at least a couple of days. Nevertheless, consider your place reserved :)

As for the track King David has announced the 1.6 mile Carter Testing Center in Alcoa will be the location of the proposed UHI GP. The track had previuosly been used as a testing center for Carter Engineering


Also Newmanistan You need a track map ;),

Test Driver: João Paulo Prado Bingo (A6 - C10 - R4)

Team Manager: Romualdo Siqueira

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)

Track Length: 4.777 km

Cornering: 0.35
Aerodynamics: 0.65

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 75%. From May to September, it is 20%. From October to December, it is 50%.

2nd Circuit (in case of lack of circuits): Central City's Espiral Circuit (aka Labirinto) - if to be used too, it'd represent Central State instead of Cafundéu.

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

Track Length: 8.012 km

Cornering: 0.7
Aerodynamics: 0.3

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.

OOC:

Just so you know, change some of my track stats and stuff in my original message. Different fastest lap time etc.


Got it, thanks.

Thanks Cafendeu, your information is in. That's 20 drivers in 10 teams, with 8 tracks (possibly 10) so far, which is plenty for this to be a good season.

Just to make it official, I've entered R-Track Racing and the Ivory Grand Prix.
Phil Basing, A9,C6,R5.
Tyler Evan, A8,C7,R5.

The track is A0.72, C0.28

Edited to include Bostopia

Bostopia F1

Adam Teraining - 7-8-5
Dave Prast - 8-6-6

Sign-up is a little bare sorry, and I may throw in a track later if needed.

Got it Bos.

Just a note to say what I need from current participants:

Newmanistan Lap Record for Tundra Falls Proving Ground.

United Hetzel Track name & Lap Record.

I've also got space for 6 more teams and 2 more tracks, but I can (fairly) easily expand to more tracks.

Just a note to say what I need from current participants:

Newmanistan Lap Record for Tundra Falls Proving Ground.



It's in my post, but I will re-post for you :D

2 min 17.43 sec.

Oh I see it now, sorry, I missed it. Nevermind, it's included now :)

The Lap record for the track which I named in my second post :rolleyes: is - Joseph Bayne 82.802 Seconds

Got it, thanks.

Two things Tae

1. Your cars must have the same sponsers

2. You car numbers will most likely be dtermined by sign up/points finishing order. Thus you have the best chance at having #s 3 and 4

Well i cna see the problem with the numbs those would be the ones id use in rps, and stuff thugh u can use other nums to do everything. Also the big parent company of practically every buisnessin Taeshan is thye Fadron Sports alliance which owns The Fadron Flight football team, the Fadron Force Baseball team, half the racing circuits in Taeshan(Nascar De Taeshan, Indygroup Taeshan, and Motorbike, and X Games Taeshan. The above mentioned companies are owned by the Fadron sports federation, and therefore are the same companies just different names for the branches of which go into each type of work, or storefront in Taeshan.

I'd like to reserve a spot too. I'll post my drivers and a track tomorrow.

Do car numbers really matter anyway? The only times I ever see them mentioned are when that thing pops up to notify viewers that some naughty boy has been speeding in the pit lane.

Right, I'll mark you in. Just get the details to me when you can.

Taeshan I'm not too bothered about the sponsorship issue, you explained it pretty well and to be honest it's not really a big deal anyway.
The numbers on the other hand, you're cars are #1 and #2 (I didn't sign up till quite late on so I'm driving #15 & #16). That's just the way it works, I'm not going to split them up like that; it makes the spreadsheet untidy.
Also you still need to give me your track information, because as we said, this isn't NASCAR.

Do car numbers really matter anyway? The only times I ever see them mentioned are when that thing pops up to notify viewers that some naughty boy has been speeding in the pit lane.

They only matter in terms of the spreadsheet. It looks for the number of the car to identify the drivers and teams, so it's helpful to have them in an ordered fashion.

Windizi Meshe Racing (WMR) F1


Windizi is a relatively new company to the racing world, although they have been making family and super cars for the last fifty years. As they’ve only been in the racing world for four years now, they’ve done their best to spread out, having their vehicles perform in rally, NASCAR, drift, Grand Prix and Formula 1 races (their motor bikes are also prominently used by Rennidanians competing in motocross and super bike races).

In F1 racing, their vehicles are known for their good speed, good steering and good reliability. There’s nothing special about the vehicles, as Rennidan would rather show that it’s their driver’s skill that gets them by, rather than who uses the bigger engines.

The Track

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk176/rennidan/MishoTrack.png

Misho Track
Length: 8.2 Km
Lap Record: 2:48.739, Forez Mondaz (2004,WMR-F1XP-V8. He later died on Burial during his celebration lap.)
Maximum Spectators: 35,000
Aero: 0.009
Cornering: 0.991

At first glance, or even on their first time around the track, many believe that this track can be overcome with better aerodynamics than cornering.

They usually crash and die in a brutal fire of nasty on the first corner.

Corners:

1 – Burial – So called because of the number of drivers that have either met an untimely end or a very large medical bill. The long straight before it allows most drivers to hit top speed, meaning that if they don’t brake in time, their car will be taking a flying lesson very, very soon.

2 – Sleepy Man’s Corner (SMC) – This corner should be tough, but after the serious braking from Burial, it’s easy enough to take at low speed.

3 – Lanberd – So called because of a spectacular spin-out by Michael Lanberd in the early days of the track. He managed to wipe out all the other racers on this corner.

4 - Relax – So called because, after this corner, you’re out of the ‘Dire 4’, the first four corners which can be a right pain in the butt (and the ribs, the skull, the groin, etc. etc.).

5 – Understeer – So called because, after the ferocity of the ‘Dire 4’, many drivers forget they can now take it easy.

6 – Bump – It looks like a bump. What more is there to it?

7 – Oversteer – So called because, after the simplicity of Understeer and Bump, many drivers end up off the track here.

8 – Motaveli – So called because this is where Feros Motaveli flipped his car and died at the tragically young age of 19.

9 – Back Zee – So called because of how, instead of being an S-bend, looks more like a backwards ‘z’.

10 – Sweforf – So called because this is where Oliver Sweforf met his untimely end when his touring car went off the track and into the large ditch, catching fire and, eventually, exploding, showering every first aider within a hundred foot in metal debris.

11 – Uliv – So called because this is where Micah Uliv crashed and lost his hand. We still haven’t found it, by the way.

12 – Hensworth – So called because this is where Phil Hensworth managed to roll his touring car, but managed to continue the race and, eventually, won the season.

13 – Unlucky For Some – So called because it’s corner 13, and four drivers have ended up in hospital in the last year thanks to this corner.

14 – Ease – So called because this is where Harry Ease was hit by an opponents car when he staggered from his crash in a daze.

15 – Raiser – So called because of the sudden bump of elevation on the apex in this turn.

16 – Level – So called because here the track returns to even.

17 – Moyles – So called because here is where the current team manager was left paralysed from the waist down in a horrifying twelve car pile-up.

18 – Flow – So called because this is supposedly the smoothest corner to ride through on the track.

19 – Demins – So called because this is where Simon Demins totalled his car, yet walked away without a scratch. (Later turned out he had internal bleeding and he died in his sleep).

20 – Junior – So called because this is probably the easiest goddamned turn on the track. No one has died on this! BE HAPPY!

21 – Blackjack – 21st corner, blackjack… gettit? Gettit? Get—Ah, screw it.

22 – Elbow – Not because it’s shaped like an elbow, but because where Gilligan Jones lost his arm from the elbow down.

23 – Smokey – So called because of the tire smoke that often fumigates this turn. The grass around it is dead from the lack of good air.

24 – Swifty – So called because you need swift reactions to keep top speed on this little bump.

25 – Standard – So called because it’s a standard turn.

26 – And Again – So called because now you have to do the entire track again…

this is kinda stupid, but would everyone discredit my earlier um post about my tracks we have um in Taeshan went for a quite different listing of Tracks more suited for Formula one racing.

Well Track 1 is to be a roadcourse exactly lihe Watknins glen one they run in Nascar, wich a believe is a formula one available track. The race will be at the X island Speedway. It will be perhaps a 350 miler. Also the track record for my version is 2minutes and 5.66 seconds by Jacob Delinger of the former nation of Nahseat.

Are second trak is to be like the Mexico City roadcourse wich will probally be findable. It will be called Atlantea Superraceway. It may be however long a race, and the track record is 2:30 Minutes.

So you want to change the track to one of these Taeshan? I'm getting hold of information on both of those tracks now, and I'll get back to you. Oh, and you should know that it will not be a 350 miler. It will be approximately 305km(190 miles), like every Formula 1 race.

Edit: We'll be using the "X Island GP".

Veliz Motors F1
The Kereca Motorsport Association has selected Veliz Motors, among a number of candidates, to produce Kereca’s two Formula 1 entries. Veliz Motors was selected because of their vast resources and superior technology compared to other constructers. In addition, VM has more vehicles on the road than any other manufacturer in the country.

Driver: Dale Hardison (Age: 37) Ratings: Aerodynamics 5 Cornering 6 Reliability 9
Hardison is one of Kereca’s more experienced drivers, having been a top contender in the South Shore Racing Series since it’s inception. However, Hardison is a rookie in terms of Formula-style cars, as motorsport in Kereca is entirely comprised of production-based vehicles racing on street courses. In fact, there are no permanent racing circuits anywhere in Kereca. Hardison is notable for winning Kereca’s most prestigious race, the Kereca City Grand Prix, a record three times.

Driver: Jon Cavanaugh (Age: 18) Ratings: Aerodynamics 7 Cornering 8 Reliability 5
The junior member of VMF1, Cavanaugh at one time was considered a racing prodigy. Cav started out in karts at the age of six, as many Kerecan drivers have, and flat out dominated. It is estimated that Cavanaugh won over one hundred races before his twelfth birthday. With this kind of success, many top teams offered a ride for the youngster at a very young age. Amidst much publicity, Cavanaugh signed with Kereca City Motorsport at the age of fourteen. Although he struggled at times in his first year, by his sophomore season he was back in winning form. Since then, Cavanaugh has won back to back championships in the South Shore Racing Series.

The Circuit
For their inaugural season, the KMA puts forth their best available circuit: the Kereca City International Airport Raceway. For two days every year, KCIA is shut down for Kereca’s biggest race: the Kereca City Grand Prix. Normally over seven and a half kilometers in length, the circuit has been altered somewhat to host a Formula 1 event (The Grand Prix of Kereca). The Airport’s notoriously long, demanding straightaways have been shortened significantly, nevertheless, the 6.36 km layout is still is a very fast track. Starts are always interesting at KCIAR, as cars funnel into tiny Turn 1 after speeding down the massive front straightaway (aka Runway 1). Capacity at the Airport is around 30,000 spectators.

Aerodynamics: 0.60
Cornering: 0.40

Okay Keleca, got it.

I'd like to let everyone know that we are nearing the end of the signup period, and will not be accepting any other tracks. We've got 11 which is plenty, especially for the first season.

As I mentioned in the first post, I've been continuing to improve the scorinator, which means I need to ask for a little bit of more information from some of those hosting tracks.

Newmanistan, Kelsekk, Cafandue & Kereca: In order to calculate the number of laps at each GP I need to know the length of a lap (km). We currently have tracks ranging from 2.5km (118 laps) up to 14km (22 laps) so try to keep it within that range please.

it's actually in my post, if you look hard for it. but here ya go anyways:
Lap Length: 6.36 km

Kercia is that KBNA airport?

Liventia & Van Luxemborg: You both entered two tracks, and in order to give everyone a fair chance to enter their own track I've selected 1 from each of you. This isn'tset in stone, and if we don't get enough new tracks I'll happily include your extra ones.
For now we are going with The GP of Liverpool England & The Pista di Moiano from Van Luxemborg.
If you'd desperately like to change that then feel free to let me know.

Please name it the GP of Liventia. As for using two tracks: except for season 1 and 2 of the old F1GP/World GP Championship, LE/Liventia has always hosted two races. Your call, but it would be nice if you could use both tracks.

How will the track lineup look like? Who will host the first race?

Kercia is that KBNA airport?

Nope, it's SYR, but I suppose most airports look alike, don't they...

How will the track lineup look like? Who will host the first race?

We're starting in Newmanistan, then moving on to:
Kelecc
Liventia
Agroprom
United Hetzel
Van Luxemborg
Pablicosta
Cafundeu
Rennidan
Taeshan
Kereca

And at what frequency? Since I'll be away for two weeks in may (the first and last week), so I can't really do the GP of Van Luxemburg then.

I'm planning to run 2 races a week, Qualifying on a Tuesday and Saturday with races on the Wednesday and Sunday starting next Tuesday. Let me know if you can't host and we can reschedule your GP.

You're in luck. If I stick to your planning, I end up on the 10th and 11th of May, which means that I'll have just returned from my holiday. Effectively, I'll miss the GP's of Agropom, United Hetzel and Rennidan. I'll probably catch up with those races later (I'll post about them later, right after the GPs in VL and Taeshan)

I'll be here all season, so no problems there.

Those dates are all ok, so this should be an interesting season!

4.612 Km

Thanks Newmanistan, 66 glorious laps at the Tundra Falls Proving Ground will open up the F1 season.

I just need information from Cafandeu and Kelsekk now and then I can finalise the tracks once and for all. Interestingly those 2 tracks are the 'fastest' in terms of lap times of any of our tracks (both under 80 seconds) so I'm expecting a lot of laps at both.

You should all take not that I've decided to abandon the standard system for determining race length, that being 305km or 2 hours. All of the races will be 305km, regardless of duration. The longest race on the books so far is the 2 hours and 42 minutes (minimum) United Hetzel race, crikey!

Anyway, there's still room for 2 more teams this season.

Just a reminder to the two hosts who need to provide a track length. If you don't do it I'll just do it for you, I can estimate from your lap times.

Oh, there's still room for 2 new drivers too!

The circuit length for Circuit Jacques Strappe is 4.515km.

Right, with the championship due to begin tomorrow I'm closing down the sign-up's. Any further OOC discussion for the season should go on here, as well as interest for future seasons.

... dammit.

now i'll never get to use this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/Gizeh/f1carfview.png) again...


if this takes off, I'd like to do a provisional signup for next season, get my foot in the door.

OOC:

Ask really nicely, I'm sure it would be fine. We're short two runners, I think.

Agroprom is right, we are down 2 drivers. If you can get the information to me very soon I'll include you for the first race.

EDIT:

I'll be running qualifying between 6 and 7pm GMT (It's 4:20pm now). If you get your info to me by then you're in, if not I don't mind entering you for race 2 and scoring 0 for this race.

Sorry for the delay, didn't notice that you needed info from me. The info has been updated in my post. The track length of the Velogão is 4.777 km

Thanks Caf, that'll be 63 laps. Now I have all the track information we'll be having an official schedule.

Remember to check up on the RP Thread fro qualifying this evening!

Is there any chance I could regester for next season?

Alversia I'm going to make a list of interested teams shortly, I'll add you to it.
