SEASON 18
SIGNUP THREAD for drivers, circuits, and tyre manufacturers
Welcome to season 18 of the World Grand Prix Championship, currently in the two-week opening signup phase. (Signups for drivers remain open through the season.)
Signups are open for drivers, circuits, and tyre manufacturers. No team signups are being accepted this year. All teams will be selected through an invitation process based on WGPC/WGP2 RP history.
To signup a driver or a circuit to the coming season, read the information below and fill in one of the signup forms. Everything you need to know is written below. Don't worry if you find anything confusing or unintuitive. You can ask us a question in the discussion thread if you need help.
DRIVERS
Every user may sign up a maximum of THREE drivers – no more than TWO per nation. Every driver starts off as a free agent, meaning they are not affiliated to any team. Drivers sign up to teams via roleplay in the RP thread, which will be created soon.
The more RPing you do with your driver, the higher your RP bonus. The higher your RP bonus, the faster your driver is likely to be on the circuit, the safer they are likely to be on the circuit, and the more likely a team is to sign them.
To sign up a driver, fill in the following form:
TYRE MANUFACTURERS
Tyre manufacturer signups are now closed.
To sign up a tyre manufacturer, fill in the following form:
CIRCUITS/RACES
Circuit signups are now closed.
Signing up a circuit is not a guarantee that it will be used in the upcoming WGPC season. Spare circuits may be used for pre-season or in-season testing.
It is customary to provide an image of your circuit (no larger than 900 x 900 pixels, of course). Circuits with no image will not be considered for selection. Ovals and real-life circuits will not be considered for selection.
To sign up a circuit, fill in the following form:
Full technical IC rules can be found at the bottom of the first post of the WGPC17 signup thread.
The season will start with the Negotiation and Driver Signing Period which will begin next Monday, 12 October. The first week of the Negotiation and Driver Signing Period will overlap with the second week of Opening Signups. The second week of the Negotiation and Driver Signing Period will overlap with the Pre-Season Testing Period.
Estimated schedule:
*Practice sessions will be scorinated at the same time as qualifying, with the exception of Race Event 5 (qualifying/feature/sprint).
