Driver Name: Ade Imoju
Name Trigram: IMO
Nationality Trigram: VNG
Preferred Number: 12
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 3.8
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 3.5
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 4.7
R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
BIO:
Ade began racing karts at 11. By 16 he raced his first pro-am stock car. A few years later, he drove his first touring car. He moved through the two Vannish touring car leagues before moving onto VMR's HGTC GT2 team. He was the lead driver for the team's 2nd place finishing car. His hope is to move into the WGPC, though that is a tall order. He's focused on racing and is known for keeping to himself. Imoju and Schmitt were drivers in the GT2 division's 2nd place car.

Driver Name: Karli Schmitt
Name Trigram: SCH
Nationality Trigram: VNG
Preferred Number: 33
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 3.6
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 4.4
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 4
R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
BIO:
Born in Wrexwic, Karli moved to Vangaziland after signing to VMR's GT2 team. She began her career racing in one of Vangaziland's sports car leagues. Her start in professional driving was late, first racing high speed karts at 15. She brings a fire and intensity, though she's known more for her technique. Her goal is to move into GT1 or Formula Hodori in the future, though officials seem to have declined VMR's request for a GT1 car. As a result, the company moved their two best performers there to WGP2.


Team Name: Vannish Motors Racing
Team Nationality (Trigram): VNG
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 3.6
Aerodynamics (Between 2 and 5): 4
Technical and Engineering Skills: (Between 2 and 5): 4.4
R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
BIO:
VMR entered the racing scene by winning the Cross Rally Championships at Enfaru. They followed up with two seasons of GT-A competition in Hodori, both in GT2 and a rally series. A car piloted by Schmitt and Imoju took second place, two points away from winning the division. The team followed that up by winning the Drivers and Constructors cups in the first season of the WGP2. Tier two success translated into a Drivers Championship in the 16th season of the WGPC. VMR also fielded three cars in NSSCRA VI, two of them progressing into the knockout stages. Vannish Motors is the factory sponsor, which is known for selling sports cars like the Ghost and luxury sedans like the Roland.

NAME OF CIRCUIT: North Emeros Street Course
Image
CITY/TOWN: Emeros
COUNTRY: Vangaziland
NAME OF GRAND PRIX: WGP2 at North Emeros
QUALIFYING TYPE: (Trad / Two-Tier) Traditional
Chance of being a wet race (1%-20%) 5
Overtaking difficulty (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is easy, 5 is difficult): 3
Margin for Error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous): 2
LAP RECORD: 1:45.13 (Jang Xiaopeng)
LENGTH OF ONE LAP: 3.901km
Aggressiveness (1-10): 4
Technical Difficulty (1-10): 6
(Both these numbers should add up to 10)
BIO:
The Jump
Start - Turn 4
The starting straight doesn't go for long before tossing the field into a set of switchbacks. Starting at Turn 1, the drivers pull into a residential neighborhood with old homes dating to the late 1800s. Tall oak & maple trees flank the track, just behind the temporary barriers.

The Boulevard
Turn 4 - Turn 6
There are a collection of shops, mostly family run small businesses. The drivers will pass everything from jewelry outfitters and clothing boutiques to candy, ice cream and fudge shoppes.

Commerce Row
Turn 6 - Turn 7
The shops turn more commercial. Some time after turn 6, the road will cut through the mall, with a walkway crossing right over the course. Advertisement banners will hang over the track, mainly for Vannish Motors, Vann-Bands, Royal Imperial Brewery and other companies who will pay top dollar. The trees fade away into a concrete jungle of office space, the banking industry and condominiums.

The Hub
Turn 7 - Turn 10
Still within the commerce zone, drivers will pass by several transportation centers. There are large bus stations near turns 8 and 10. Turn 9 bends around a train station with 1940s art deco styling.

The Parklands
Turn 10 - Turn 14
Between 10 and 11, the road will slightly dip down in elevation. The trees return as this road cuts through a large urban park. Passing 11, the road picks on more of a "Main St." feel, with residential neighborhoods visible beyond this road of small shops and services.

The Parkway
Turns 13 - 16
The road opens up and finds itself away from homes and businesses. This is where the street connects to a parkway, which leads to the main city Emeros, of which North Emeros is a suburb. There will be car dealerships, gas stations and other services seeming to cater to travelers. Turn 13 is called 'Lucky 13'. On that turn's outside corner is a 250 foot bronze statue of 'Lord Emerott' a figure from the 1500s, of which Emeros is named. After reaching the straightaway, the road leads back to the large, ritzy homes. More modern homes fill the row before the jagged streets of Turns 1-4.

Team Name: SinVal
Team Nationality (Trigram): Eastfield Lodge (EFL)
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 4
Aerodynamics (Between 2 and 5): 3
Technical and Engineering Skills: (Between 2 and 5): 5
BIO: SinVal are an one of the major car manufacturers in EFL, reknowned mainly for their work under the hood, so to speak. After many, many years of supplying engines to the joint MSA-SinVal ventures in both the WGPC and the inaugural WGP2 series with little success, the EAMR decided to strip that joint venture of its international licencing and give it to the best Constructors in the most recent domestic series, which happened to be SinVal's solo venture. Of the joint venture, only team principal Tadeo Durand remains, although mostly in an advisory role on race strategy. Alaina Navarro is the new team principal, and will oversee the team's operations with a brand new hybrid race engine, specifically developed for WGP2 and their own car's capabilities.

Driver Name: Dalia Dahl
Name Trigram: DHL
Nationality Trigram: EFL
Preferred Number: 63
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 2
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 5
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 5
BIO: Dahl entered the inaugural WGP2 season as an up and coming 21 year old who had been lighting up the lapboards domestically. She definitely showed some early promise, as she won the second race of the season in Audioslavia, but she never came good on that early season potential, as she only registered one more points finish (7th) to finish as the lowest ranked race winner, with 5 DNFs to boot. It was a bad enough season to lose her the race seat for MSA-SinVal in WGPC16 - she's spent the entirety of the season racing domestically. With a string of impressive podiums, a worrying number of them being comeback results from mistakes either in qualifying or whilst racing. A younger version of famous Eastfielder WGPC driver Louis Krindle is a pretty apt description - throwing caution into a hurricane.


Driver Name: Laurencia Lynds
Name Trigram: LYN
Nationality Trigram: EFL
Preferred Number: 44
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 4
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 4
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 4
BIO: 20 year old Laurencia was a halfway decent driver in go-karting competitions in Marepacia, but was never really pipped to do much in actual formula racing. Definitely a late bloomer in terms of talent, someone who will consistently put their car into whatever gap can be exploited, but almost always with just enough room not to crash. Does drive purely on instinct, taking races one corner at a time. However, off track, she is very reserved, preferring to be by herself and do things in her own time - she'll be in for a culture shock once she enters the international stage. Nonetheless, she has a goal, and that is to help put the Serenelia region onto the sporting map in the Imperial Commonwealth. And this is her way of doing it.


Grand Prix Name: Imperial Commonwealth GP2 Race
Track Image: Image
Lap Record (F1/WGPC Car): 1:21.954 - Louis Krindle (Qualifying, WGPC14, MSA-SinVal Racing)
Qualifying Type (Traditional or Two-Tiered): Two-Tiered
Chance of being a wet race (1%-20%): 3%
Overtaking difficulty (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is easy, 5 is difficult): 2.0
Margin for Error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous): 4.0

Aggressiveness (1-10): 5
Technical Difficulty (1-10): 5
BIO: Located a few minutes from one of the biggest cities in Eastfield Lodge in both sporting and population terms, Mount Salt Raceway is a relatively young purpose-built circuit, and became the show-piece event for every domestic motorsport calendar, and has since become a fixture in the WGPC as well. The track is a blend of quite a few high speed corners and long straights - the kilometre long pit straight is one of the longest in Eastfield Lodge - but there also plenty of slow corners to test the cars and the drivers.

Starting just after the halfway point of the start-finish straight, the tight first corner is far enough away for the field to spread slightly, but needs precision to carry speed up the hill to the second corner, where the drivers will find a mirror image of the first corner. A short straight before we reach the Turn 3 hairpin, where the prevailing wind can scatter a fine layer of salt, originating from a salt plain near the mountains, over the corner.

Passing through the chicane (Turns 4 and 5), we come to the hardest section of the circuit; a long climb up the hill on a long left hander, before taking a sharp left at Turn 7. The combination of the hill and the wall close to the inside of the track results in drivers being more or less blind until the last moment before turning, making for some good action for crowd to watch. The wall on the exit of 7 is a recent addition, and yet another crowd favourite.

The track then levels out as the drivers take two right handers at Turns 8 and 9, before taking the long right hander at Turn 10 back down the hill and braking hard for turn 11. Little braking needed for Turn 12, and then it's down another hill, before reaching the Turn 13/14 chicane before the pit entry and the last corner, after which it's a 0.5 km sprint to the finish line.

Usually, the weather in the region is pretty dry and sunny, often with a stiff breeze as noted above - that WGPC13's race weekend took place nearly entirely in the wet was a bit of an anomaly.

Note: Where there isn't a gravel pit or a wall indicated, you can assume it's a tarmac run-off for the corners and grass/turf for the straights.

Looking forward to it, Mattijana! I think that I'll also take this opportunity to thank you for running this. Just looking through the scorinator... Well, actually, I'm sure a lot of people could handle it but it's nonetheless a big ask, especially given the administration involved, and you are to be commended for taking it on.

Hi everyone, thought I'd give a quick update as to how things are going over here.

As I am now awake and my concept of time has returned, an RP thread is in the works. I'm not going to be able to finish it tonight, but it should be up tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your patience, if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch here or by TG.

Quick question. How do we RP our drivers in the Everything Thread? Will there be results to check to determine what actions they do? Just wondering, since this is my first time doing the prix.

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

Check the OP for the WGP2 Season 1 and WGPC 16 RP threads, that'll give you an idea of what sort of things go on for driver RPs.

We're up!

It's not quite fully shipshape, but the RP thread is go, so get cracking with any initial posts. I'll have it fully tidied up in the next couple of days and as always, feel free to ask any questions.

Due to a large number of high-quality teams, I've selected 12. Should anyone drop out, main nation ministry's team will be introduced.

The plan is to have the pre-season test in a week and a half's time, so most teams should hopefully have signed at least 1 driver by then. Schedule/venues to come soon along with the aesthetics.

This is certainly a surprise, given you're a better RPer than some of those who've been given teams. I, too, would like to know the reason. Hopefully it was a simple oversight and he missed your team signup and will correct it.

Every team isn't selected. In Savojarna's case, he put up a pretty good season writing for someone else's team. He even won silverware. So I can see where he may feel he's earned a spot. If it's your first season, it's not personal, but you may have to write for another. I did my first season for the same team Savojarna did. It's not so bad, driving for other teams. It's hard to make cuts and choose teams as a host. I do not envy being in Mattijana's position with tough choices ahead.

But it's not personal that the ministry team wasn't selected. It's just about numbers. Also, not putting up a picture of your car may have played a factor. (Don't kick the messenger, a la 300.)

I just feel it's unfair and annoying, because I didn't ask for my team to be backup, as I already planned out my driver for the team, as it would be unrealistic for MNM to have a driver from another nation to be the driver for their team. Plus, I spend last night making my post, so I have no idea how to change anything properly.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

I know it seems unfair, but it's not. I'm pretty sure most of the teams selected have RP'd before, like Togo and WET. I know you signed up to be a main, but the OP clearly said not all teams would be accepted. In the end, you were placed at backup ahead of arguably one of last season's top RPers. That means he spent months writing and even gave his team a Constructor's. Other teams may not have had the same experience as him, but they came up with the car image. You should keep that post up for credit because it's well written. If you'd RP like that a couple times a week, I'd sign you and I'm sure others would. Maybe you'll get your chance still. But I wouldn't go the route of demanding a team. Remember, the host is about to go through a big effort for us. Let's not give him a hard time.

You could always make a post speaking of how the ministry's team was postponed. Maybe somehow they'll work with another team? All is not lost.

Your post was well written though.

My best option is to have the Ministry's team seek out requests for other drivers to join them, or I can have Jason Masami be recruited by another team. Even though my post was well-written, I want to try to avoid mistakes. In your opinion, what's the best option I can do?
