World Grand Prix Organization: OOC Discussion Thread

[Sommet de Lespoir]

id like to sign a team up, with a driver, how do I sign up?

Hello there, thank you for your interest!

Signups for drivers are open using this link. However, team signups have closed, so you won't be able to submit a team for the WGP2 season. Please use the driver signup form to fill out the information for your driver.

Hope that helps!

I know these questions may be bothering but a final thing. Does the safety car really impact the race?

Not really bothered by the questions. The answer to that is: yes. It has an impact to the race similar to that of IRL safety cars by slowing down the cars for a "few" laps and bringing the field closer together then the restart is where chaos usually happens.

Oh yeah thanks!

I love how I'm the only one who is broadly referred to as "Sierra Grand Racing Team" rather than "MontagneF1"

As per my RP yesterday, I have made an initial driver list for the ETBA driver trials. If you wish your driver to take part, or your driver is already there but for some reason you want them not to participate, please let me know by this Saturday 00:00 UTC, as I plan to score the trials an hour after that.

Please take note after the trials that I will ICly offer Badai Angin backing (to be part of our driver academy similar to those implemented by RL F1 teams) to several participating drivers in the trials even if they are already contracted to other WGP2 teams provided that they are currently not part of a driver program/academy (i.e Bitten Heroes Academy, Nadakei AYDP, and the like), and the nation of the team that currently field the driver has no objections ICly on the driver being backed by us.

is it too late to submit a car company?

[Caesarovia]

can I please submit a circuit?, its a good one see pic. It's called the ProGo Motorplex, or the more classic name, the Tupelo Circuit.

Too late for both sorry. The only thing you can submit is drivers

And also no IRL circuits

[Caesarovia]

what about next year?, and i'll tweak it slightly so it's not too similar to the In Real Life one

I guess, but it has to be noticeably different, also you can do your own WGP3 event if you want!

[Caesarovia]

Ok thank you, i’m working on it now, but just a heads up, my graphic design skills aren’t great

[Caesarovia]

So, can i submit a hosting bid for next year, my nation is loosely based on Italy, a country with a great motorsport heritage.

Do you have previous history in WGPC or WGPC2?
Like any?

You should wait until the signups for next season are open and follow the instructions given by the season organiser then. Restrictions change from year to year.

Quick question, what does OOC stand for?

Is there a picture of what Deyoze tyres look like somewhere? I would love to have them for my livery, blank tyres look a bit too... blank and Pirelli looks a bit immersion-ruining.

Alternatively, I could edit Pirelli tyres by replacing the text with Deyoze, but I don't want to take too much liberty with a brand owned by someone else (Unless Hodori doesn't mind...?)

Hola! I decided to make a Spotter's Guide for the upcoming WGP2 season, because I know I can't even keep track of who's signed where outside of cutoff posts!

The image is updated as of the Third Pre-Season Test, and will be updated as and when new signings are made. Should there be any mistakes or otherwise, please TG me or contact me on Discord. I apologise for the poor quality image - it was the best the Snipping Tool allowed me to make.

[Lisander]

Dearest,

I must heartfully apologize for the complete absence in last week. I was dealing with a big load of work and some personal issues relative to that thing loose around the world. I'll not enter into further details, but I'm healthy and safe now.

I'm sure I missed a lot of cut-offs, and I'm about to miss the next one, but I'll start to address all the current issues with Bitten Heroes Academy. To guarantee I'm not going over the limit, I'm planning to start a different topic to cover some info that are (theoretically) in the past (therefore I don't expect it counts to my RP bonus), and arrive in the present moment as soon as possible.

If no one opposes, could Liventia please confirm Athan Lille as a Bitten Heroes Academy first driver and Anneliese Devereux as PrismRiver second driver? I'm afraid my wording was ambiguous and unable to clarify their positions as the drivers.

[Sierra Grand]

Slightly worried about one thing. I am going to be MUCH less busy this week so it will be hard for MontagneF1 to get some drivers

[Krainin]

Hopefully there's still some openings in WGP2. I haven't posted yet, because IRL has been punching me down. Now I have some time to post. I have something almost done and will post in an hour or two. Hopefully there's still room for me.

There's still a few teams with open seats, and I believe Lisander's Bitten Heroes team has offered Elise a drive.

[Liventia]

So, teams should aim to have their signings confirmed in the next 25 hours or so.

For the record, here's a list of seats still open:
Bitten Heroes-MW Racing: 1 (offered to Elise Shaw)
Fireline Motorsports: 1 (offered to Luc Deschamps)
Scuderia Orange Cow: 2
As a reminder, National Armament Corporation is being restricted to 1 home-grown driver.

And a list of drivers with RP history that have not been signed or offered seats yet:
Ginny Trinket, Astigar Armendaritze, Katie Edwards, Jerome Mariot, Ringo Ando II, Hoshikari Yume, Ricardo Schmidt, Sakiteno Kuyara, Kole Sanderia, Pedro Carballal

For clarification: The Previous sponsors of MontagneF1 will still keep some autonomy in the car

Yes. Your RP bonus continues to count for the team, and the team has retained the "Montagne" name. You should communicate directly with V & T over the appropriate limits for "autonomy" or control over the team. That's between you two.
