The third season of the WGP2 is complete; thank you, one and all, for participating! If you’d like to get involved in future WGPO events or learn more about them, feel free to head over to the WGPO thread. We’d love to have you! Alternatively, feel free to browse the thread; its stories are still well worth reading.
Welcome to the third season of the WGP2! Not sure what that is and/or haven’t submitted your profiles yet? Head over to the submission and information thread to find out and get involved!

The WGP2 III is underway! That said, seats may still open up should somebody become inactive; if you’re interested in signing a driver, keep an eye on this thread.
This period will last for the couple of weeks before the racing gets underway; every team will be looking for drivers and tyre suppliers and every driver and tyre supplier will be looking for teams! If you’re roleplaying a driver, maybe you’d prefer to tell the world that you’re interested in a team via some rumour-mongering in your local newspapers. If you’re roleplaying a team, perhaps you’d like to set up an interview with a few drivers. Maybe your driver or organisation has a big social media presence or can’t keep out of the news for all the wrong reasons! A popular tactic in recent years has been for teams to hold an open-invitation trial for a number of drivers to test their racecar around a local circuit, with the best driver/drivers being chosen for the team, so look out for those as well. There is no ‘right’ way to do it, and the only ‘wrong’ way to do it would be to attempt to confirm your driver is racing with a team before any real negotiations, OoC, IC or otherwise, have taken place.
You may also wish to consider the massive difference in pay between an experienced driver with a good reputation and a newcomer. In real motorsport, the best drivers are paid handsomely to drive while the newcomers often have to pay a team in order to secure a drive - though the sums are likely to be less in the WGP2 than those of the WGPC. Does your driver need to secure sponsorship in order to pay his way into a deal? Or are they one of those rare up and coming stars, upon whose raw talent alone a team can rely to get results and draw sponsors’ attention?
When you wish to confirm that a driver has joined or a tyre supplier is supplying a team, or formally offer a spot in or supply contract for your team to a driver or tyre supplier, do so in bold, like this or this or this or simply like this.
If you’d like to get a better feel for how the process works, why not have a look at either of the previous WGP2 threads? You can find them here and here. If you’re looking for other WGP2 III-related information, meanwhile, you’ll probably find what you’re looking for in the submission and information thread. Alternatively, head over to the WGPO thread, where there are plenty of knowledgeable, helpful people who can answer your questions!

Four main things to bear in mind!
Firstly: please submit your submission (and, in the case of teams and circuits, wait for that submission to be accepted) before writing about the thing to which your submission pertains! If you haven’t yet, you can do that here.
Secondly: please write about things at least vaguely relevant to the WGP2 and the people in it! This one’s more of a guideline than anything else but, you know, on-topic is generally better than off-topic!
Thirdly: please be considerate about using other people’s characters in your roleplaying. While it is generally accepted, everyone has their own understanding of what is okay and isn’t; it’s considered courteous to seek permission from the roleplayer in question and make sure you’re aware of the characters’ personalities and goals beforehand. Of course, if you’re going to do that, you might want to just bring the other person on board!
Finally, and this is a new rule introduced for the WGP2 III: please keep your writing to a maximum of 1,000 words per (race) week and your images (including composite images made up of images that would otherwise comply with this restriction) to a maximum of 250x250 pixels. Circuit introduction posts, standard post headers, standard car-in-profile and tyre-in-profile images (not including other images of cars or tyres), standard track layout image and minor edits to the above are exempt from this rule but also won’t count towards RP bonus.

The race at each race weekend will last for approximately 180 kilometres. Points will be awarded according to finishing order at the race of each race event as follows: 1st – 25; 2nd – 18; 3rd – 14; 4th – 10; 5th – 8; 6th – 6; 7th – 4; 8th – 3; 9th – 2; 10th – 1. An additional point will be awarded for the race’s fastest lap. The team with the most points at the end of the season will be the Constructors’ Champion; the driver with the most points at the end of the season will be the Drivers’ Champion.
Making alterations to one’s own car, including changing tyres or bodywork and refuelling, is permitted during races. Making alterations to another’s car, including deliberately crashing into it, is prohibited. An attempt to crash into another’s car will result in a penalty for the driver; instructions from the team to do so will result in a penalty for the team.
As a Nimban-led competition, WGP2 events will be supplied with non-alcoholic beverages, notably for podium celebrations, and food produced to vegetarian and the highest animal welfare standards, preferably locally sourced. Teams with cars which produce carbon emissions while running will be required to allow the use of a remote Imagination convertor to teleport the carbon to a trackside facility. The carbon-neutral government-run logistics company, Launchpad, will be available for contract.
Three official tyre suppliers have been commissioned to produce tyres for the WGP2 III; said tyres have already been paid for so as to allow teams without existing tyre supplier relationships to enter the sport more easily. For more information, please see the ‘Tyre Suppliers’ folder below.
