Formula One-The Royal Cup

[Xironia]

Could everyone please post their home race preferences!

I prefer Suzuka.

[Mattijana]

Nation name: (the republic of) Xironia

Team name: Xun racing
Team boss: Sefton Crawford

Driver 1: Winslow Little
Aggression: 10
Skill: 10
Cautiousness: 5

Driver 2: Justin Harlow
Aggression: 5
Skill: 10
Cautiousness: 10

Car engine manufacturer: Xun racing (also make the chassis)

Other manufacturers: Nereus automobiles (body)

Other information: Team colours: Green, white, blue
Team numbers: 76 and 77

All accepted!

[Arctic Federation]

If there's still space left, I'd like to have a go, please.

Team Name: Glacier Grand Prix

The poorly funded Glacier Grand Prix team hopes to represent the Arctic Federation in the Royal Cup. Despite budget concerns, they are reasonably hopeful of being competitive.

Driver One: Kha Mervin (#13)
Aggression: 8
Skill: 6
Caution: 4

Talented Kha Mervin, aged 23, is the leader of the Glacier Grand Prix team. A natural racer who is always keen to over-take, Mervin sometimes struggles to recognise his own limits. He is liable to cause accidents.

Driver Two: Mathieya McMillan (#87)
Aggression: 3
Skill: 6
Caution: 10

36-year-old Mathieya McMillan's talent often gets overlooked, but when it comes to getting a car home in one piece, there really is nobody better. McMillan's driving style is solid, but completely unspectacular.

Home Grand Prix: The Arctic Grand Prix at the Whitehorse Street Circuit. Ideally a trundle around some of the streets in Whitehorse, Yukon, but I don't have the patience to design that circuit right now.

Is there anything else you need?

Accepted if you give the engine manufacturer and some of the other manufacturers.

I can try and design a circuit in Yukon if you want, it'll be a challenge!

[Arctic Federation]

I went ahead and designed a Yukon circuit in Google Maps. It actually looks pretty decent!



As to manufacturers, we'll go with Ford.

[Mattijana]

It does!

Accepted as well.

[Mattijana]

IC begins in 2 days!

[Xironia]

Where's the first race (which circuit)?

[Mattijana]

I have published a calender on the intro post for that.

[New Ecopia]

I'll publish a Calender on the intro post for that now

That will be really helpful.

[Xironia]

Isn't the pre-season testing today?

[Mattijana]

It's tomorrow.

Sorry, I've had some tech difficulties with my broadband over the past day or so and I've only just had it fixed, so I've had to put it off till tomorrow.

There will be two pre-season testing sessions, one beginning at 09:00 GMT and one at 19:30 GMT.

Media can be presented anywhere around there, I don't really mind!

Do we want a new thread or a continuation of this one?
Sorry.

I'll Try post my RP tommorow as It might be hard for me as I go by AEDT not GMT so mine could be a little late.

I only entered this for fun and one of my drivers got 6th! By the way, why do some people have no time?

[Robsonien]

ooc : no complete lap. is the beginning of the tests Day

Most of those laps aren't pushing the car, so are slow by F1 standards.

No time is because those two drivers have only done installation laps (come out of the pits and gone back in again) they will have times by the end.

Pre-season session 2 begins at 19:30 (BST). This is where drivers are expected to push a little harder and test out the softer compound tyre. Not too much on the incidents front in this session, just the occasional lock-up and mechanical issue here and there as the drivers attempt to get to grips with the new cars.

Join us later.

A couple of cars out to do Installation laps, but nothing too exciting early on.
