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.
New for this season is the ability for a tyre manufacturer from your country to offer its tyres to the teams participating in the Championship. From initial tyre signups, four will be selected for the teams to choose from. Each user may enter up to ONE tyre manufacturer.

To sign up a tyre manufacturer, fill in the following form:

CIRCUITS/RACES
Circuit signups are now closed.
Each user may sign up a maximum of TWO grand prix circuits, and no more than one per nation (meaning one circuit from your main nation and one from a puppet is fine). If signing up two circuits, the nation entering the second circuit must have previously participated in the WGPC (not WGP2) with a driver, team, or circuit.

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:

Circuit Name:
Grand Prix Name:
Track Image:
Lap Record (F1/WGPC Car): (min:ss.000)
Track Length (km):
Qualifying Type (Traditional, One-Shot, Elimination or Two-Tiered):
If qualifying is 'Traditional' or 'One-Shot', would you like your race to be considered for the feature/sprint race weekend?: (Y/N)
Chance of rain (1%-20%):
Track aggressiveness (1-10):
Track technicality (1-10):
(Aggressiveness and technicality should add up to 10)
Overtaking Difficulty (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is easy, 5 is difficult):
Margin for error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous):
Info:

CIRCUIT NAME is the name of the track, e.g. Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Monza, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, or Spa-Francorchamps. You don't have to use a full name.
GRAND PRIX NAME is the name of the race, e.g. Belgian Grand Prix, Singapore Grand Prix, or Gran Premio de España.
TRACK IMAGE is a link to an image of the track, hosted externally on photobucket or imgur or a similar service. Signups with no track image will be invalid.
LAP RECORD is the fastest lap recorded on the circuit in a WGPC (F1)-spec car.
TRACK LENGTH is the length of one lap, in kilometres. Avoid extraordinarily long or short tracks.
QUALIFYING TYPE: There are four choices. TRADITIONAL: 90 minutes long, cars set up to 10 laps with the quickest lap counting. ONE-SHOT: Each car gets one lap, and no more, to set a time. No more than one race will be run using one shot qualifying. ELIMINATION and TWO-TIERED: In both these formats, cars set times over four or two sessions, with the slowest cars after each session taking no further part in qualifying.
FEATURE/SPRINT: Only for events which have selected the Traditional or One-Shot qualifying formats, denoting a "Y" puts you on the list for selection for the event which will be run with two shorter races instead of the standard 305-km race. Only one such event will ultimately be selected.
CHANCE OF RAIN: Percentage chance of an event being wet. This number should be between 1 and 20. 1 means there will be a 1% chance of a wet race and 1.5% chance of a 'changeable' race. 20% means there will be a 20% chance of a wet race and a 30% chance of a 'changeable' race. Use 5% as an average.
TRACK AGGRESSIVENESS/TECHNICALITY: Aggressive circuits are wide with plenty of opportunities to overtake. The second value is Technical Difficulty. A track with a high TD rating suits more technically skilled drivers, and the circuit may be more difficult to overtake on. The numbers should add up to ten.
OVERTAKING DIFFICULTY is how difficult it is for a driver to overtake another on the circuit. A 5 means overtaking is difficult, a 0.1 means overtaking is easy. 2.5 is about average.
MARGIN FOR ERROR denotes how severely mistakes can be punished. A 0.1 means the track is forgiving - a driver won’t lose too much time if they spin. A 5 means mistakes are punished more severely. 2 is average for a regular circuit. A true street circuit would be more technical.
INFO: Track information/description.

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).

Note: I used to go by the name Strayquestria and the Wolflands, so Carmichael Fire would still represent Twicetagria despite driving for Strayquestria in WGP2.
Also another note: If you’re interested in signing my drivers, please note that Charyseine is more likely to sign for a team because of RP reasons. Carmi is there merely as a secondary character if anyone is interested.

Shall we do this thing? Let's do this thing.

NAME: Olivia Stone
NAME TRIGRAM: STO
NATIONALITY TRIGRAM: NIM
PREFERRED CAR NUMBER: 85
SECOND CHOICE CAR NUMBER: 3

ABILITY:
Reliability: 2
Aggression: 5
Technique: 5

BIO: Olivia Stone is something of a prodigy. Of course, almost every successful racing driver is a prodigy to an extent but, even among them, she is exceptionally talented. Driving in the Nimban Junior Quad Bike Leagues, a ruthlessly meritocratic system of promotion and relegation that has made as many dreams as it has shattered, Olivia was given the perfect opportunity to prove that talent. It was this process that brought up Ryker Lane; even he, however, did not rise through the ranks as quickly as Olivia did, entering at eleven and quickly gaining a reputation as a raw driver capable of utter dynamism, both a brilliant attacker and a genius in defence when in her flow. She reached the highest League at fourteen and, from there, launched an uncompromising assault on its top spot. That assault worked – she claimed it three times over.

Throughout all of this, of course, she was also going through Nimban secondary school. She wasn’t an exceptional student by any means (whether that was down to her total focus on her racing or a lack of ability will perhaps never be known) but she did decide to go on to take a place at the University of the Second City, the far newer and more maverick of the two Nimban universities. This would seem like an odd choice for her but for the fact that she was more than aware of its upcoming entry to the WGPi, the Nimban WGP3 regional competition. Indeed, she and Baxen Aurora, a fellow Leagues graduate, joined the university together, the two having become somewhat close (him being the highly relative calm to her all-consuming fire), with the express purpose of joining the USC’s team as drivers; after all, it would be more of an endeavour to find success with them, in presumed contrast with the team of the established University of the First City.

This they managed. Then, with all of her dynamism to aid her, Olivia spearheaded the team into the inaugural WGPi season. It took a little time for her to get going – her fragility proved costly in the opening rounds – but, after a double victory on the banks of the Shimmerstream and a decisive win at the New Nexus Tower Run, she emerged champion and her team victorious. The next step was fairly obvious and, with the University of the Second City in support, she and Baxen sought seats at a team in the WGP2 III. It was a seller’s market that season and, unsurprisingly, the two found themselves in demand; in the end, under Baxen’s guidance (he having become something of an agent for the pair), they both signed seats with the up-and-coming Schkeska-VSK Viska Racing, satisfying Olivia’s desire that the two remain together.

Like in WGPi, Olivia took a little time to find her feet in the WGP2, struggling with the unfamiliar characteristics of an internal combustion engined car after driving exclusively electricity- and hydrogen-powered vehicles throughout her career. When she did, however, she shone – her first win at Viska’s home race in Auruna heralded a charge to the top of the Drivers’ Championship, followed by another in the Cocoabo Forest and a second place in Île Saint-Joseph. That hardly eased her emotional state, however, increasingly disquieted by her teammate and friend’s lacklustre performances and apparent desire to take on second driver status. Matters reached breaking point when Olivia confronted Baxen after a race in Eastfield Lodge where he, starting third to her twenty-first, attempted to hold back the entire field for her on a one-stop strategy. In answer, Baxen pointed out what she had tried not to think about all along: that the Wardship, with Ryker Lane as a fixture, had only one WGPC licence left. She was the one with the inborn talent; anything to solidify her own cause was now the priority.

It wouldn’t prove enough. From leading the Drivers’ Championship, Olivia would spin at her home race in attempting to gain the fastest lap that she needed to safeguard it, letting Abdoulaye Goita snatch it from her palms. Still, her reputation as a stunningly quick driver on her day was secure, as was her relationship with the second team she had helped to build from the ground up, and with Baxen Aurora now taking the typical Nimban role of her career race engineer the Olivia Stone entering the WGPC is perhaps even more of a juggernaut than she was before. Beyond herself, it is difficult to see what manner of immovable object might stand a chance of stopping her.

MANUFACTURER NAME: In Motion
MANUFACTURER NATION TRIGRAM: NIM

TYRE CHARACTERISTICS:
Reliability: -1
Traction: 1

BIO: Nimban culture places heavy emphasis on experimentation and innovation as a source of success; to this In Motion are no exception. The First City start-up was founded by spousal team Celia and Grace Speck, former pupils of the Kelthari materials scientist Vertilan Nas, after they realised the potential that molecular rearrangement by Imagination convertor had for synthetic rubbers, noted the gap in the market for high quality domestic tyre production and jumped at the opportunity. Since then, their team has grown to around a dozen people (including one Petra Nikolic, formerly of Tigar Tyres) and profoundly bucked the trend of stiff, unyielding Nimban tyres.

All of this made In Motion ideal partners for Nexus Racing; their agility and innovation served as a natural counterpart to Esmerelian giant Brutus Tyres’ traditional knowledge and, with additional Imagikinetic convertors provided by the racing team, the two companies worked together to produce tyres for Nexus Racing from WGPC 16. Brutus Tyres withdrawing from international motorsport alongside Esmerelian team Obey Sport in the WGPC put an end to that partnership at the close of WGPC 17, leaving In Motion a tiny entity with the sole responsibility of tyre manufacture for a racing team at the forefront of the national consciousness and high on the international stage. Fortunately, Celia, Grace and their colleagues had used their time wisely and gained valuable experience learning from their more established partners and, better yet, were now free from any constraints on design. As such, they set about creating a tyre fundamentally intertwined with the substance of Nexus Racing’s new, radical Chase Cutter, intended to take advantage of all of its driving characteristics and make a few of its own.

And yet it was not Nexus Racing that proved their greatest success in WGP2 III, for the design philosophy required for the eight-wheeled UHSGV-4 proved equally suited to the four-wheeled VL-01A of Schkeska-VSK Viska. In the end, it was the team that requested their tyres out of the blue and which they only barely agreed to supply, not the team for whom those tyres had been constructed in the first place, which ended up second in the Constructors’ Championship and, with Nimban Olivia Stone, third in the Drivers’. That surprise has granted In Motion greater renown in international motorsport and greater openness to other supply deals and, given the limit on the number of tyre suppliers in the upcoming season, those things may stand them in good stead.

In Motion’s offering in WGPC 18 is fundamentally a refinement of that supplied for WGP2 III. Their tyres are slightly smaller than a typical WGPC tyre, at a diameter of 595 mm on the outer edge which, beyond being able to fit four of them on one side of a car, offers improved acceleration, nimbleness, aerodynamics and weight at a cost in top speed and increased wear. This, however, is not their most unique property; In Motion’s tyres are trapezoidal in cross-section, narrowing at a 5-degree angle towards the car to create a constant toe-in effect and substantially improve cornering, among other positive effects. In Motion plan to manufacture two variants of these tyres: one with a massively hardened outer sidewall, designed to let the UHSGV-4’s variable-camber suspension system ride up on the tyres’ edge to reduce friction along the straights; and one with an only slightly hardened outer sidewall, which should balance the outside’s increased wear from the tyre’s intrinsic camber while being more suited to a typical WGPC car’s characteristics. Teams are free to request either type.

Driver Name: Niklas Schonbaum
Name Trigram: SCH
Nationality Trigram: STL
Preferred Car Number: 37
Second Choice Car Number: 20
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 5
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 3
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 4
R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
Driver's bio: Born in the city of Stelburg, Teusland, Niklas Schonbaum always had his eyes firmly focused on the future. He was a young prodigy in local karting circuits, and was quickly signed to the driving academy of Teussische Motoren Werke (TMW), the best-known and most-successful racing team in the country. Upon joining TMW, Schonbaum quickly made a name for himself as a driver of the future, winning several titles in various disciplines. Recognizing his great skill, Schonbaum was given a full-time ride in the National Grand Prix Championship (also known as ‘Formula ST’) at the age of 18. He finished third in the drivers’ standings, and earned his first win at his home race, the Grosser Preis von Stelburg at the Stelburgring street circuit. His second year, Schonbaum would win his first NGPC championship with TMW, and the success would continue, as he won championships in both his 3rd and 4th years with the team. It’s clear that Schonbaum is the best driver in Siovanija & Teusland - and he feels the time has now come for him to test his skills on the world stage.

Schonbaum is a calm and very cerebral driver, rarely letting his emotions get the best of him. For this reason, like many athletes from Siovanija & Teusland, he has been described as ‘cold’. However, with teammates and friends, Schonbaum is quite open and warm. His nickname in home media is ‘die maschine’ - the machine. He’s well known for getting the best out of his car, and being able to pull off great moves on the track. He has been praised for his fitness regimen, which led to vast changes in how drivers in Siovanija & Teusland handle themselves. One area of his game he would like to improve is aggression - Schonbaum often finds himself not as willing to take risks as some other drivers, and it has cost him positions back home on the domestic circuit.

Schonbaum’s entrance into the WGPC will surely be welcomed by all in Siovanija & Teusland who will now have a driver to follow. In addition, it is part of a grander plan to develop their worldwide brand by TMW, who will be financially backing Schonbaum in this endeavour. Sponsors of Schonbaum include Adler Sportswear, TeusBank, and Teussische Vermögensberatung AG (Teus financial advisors). Eager to become the first Teus driver on the international stage, Niklas Schonbaum is prepared for all that he will face on the road to WGPC glory.

As a long-time observer, excited for my first go in WGPC - anyone interested in the background of grand prix racing in Siovanija & Teusland should check this post for the most recent season.

Info:
Located at the Aurun hills, near the city of Akresna just north of Veratuna, is the most popular, successful, and challenging Akresna Circuit. With an altitude of about 1,350 m above sea level, the circuit is both challenging for both the drivers and cars. After the formation of the Mötoraaroitu Nazyonalla Auruna (MNA), this is one of the circuits that are now government owned and it was saved from closure by the MNA and it is one of the Viska Racing test tracks due to a partnership with Schkeska Motors. First built in 1956, the track features a wide variety of elevation changes and corners, also featuring the Akresna Tunnel that goes down though a hill (Although it is not used in the International Layout). With decent run-off areas and one of the best facilities in Auruna, the circuit is one of the best in Auruna and is a part of the Aurun Trinity Circuits.

Akresna Circuit was chosen to host a WGP2 race as it is one of the closest to the capital and the Veratuna Circuit has a busy schedule hosting AtMA, Endurance, and Time Attack events. This is the first time Auruna is hosting an international motorsport for decades. If the race is successful and proved to be popular, it may pave the way for Auruna hosting for the next season and potentially the next WGPC season.

Akresna starts off with the start/finish straight followed by a heavy braking zone to Turn 1, Valantov, then a fast Turn 2 that goes uphill. Turns 3 continues the uphill climb where Sector 2 starts at the exit of Turn 4. Sector 2, also called the "Hill Run", starts with a short straight to Turn 5 then followed by a slightly downhill straight then to a heavy braking zone to Turn 6 that goes back uphill to a kink, where an old bunker is next to, then Turn 7 which heads to the Akresna Sun section where most of the pictures of the track are taken, usually at sunset and during endurance races. At Turn 8, Politov, the Akresna Tunnel is located, it is unused in the international layout. What follows is a series of uphill-downhill corners ending with Turn 12, this is the most challenging part of the circuit where oversteer and understeer are prevalent and demands good throttle control by the drivers if they make a small mistake in this section, they will end up in the barriers. Still going downhill, a straight leads on to Turn 13, Veren Ukä, which starts Sector 3, the fastest sector. The fast corners and chicanes of Turns 15, 16, 17, and 18. Cars go though this section flat-out and at this area is where most of the grandstands are located. Drivers usually get caught out at Turns 17 and 18 where they can oversteer into the barriers and ending their race. A final heavy braking zone to the Turn 19, Kaulinta. Another fast straight followed by a fast Turn 20, Entenalla (Similar to Parabolica of Monza) that leads to the start/finish straight which then completes a lap.

After the success at the WGP2 with Viska's win here, the MNA decided to fund the circuits for the Aurun WGPC project. The MNA held a bid for the MNA International Circuit License where Akresna was chosen at the end over Livonsk and Veratuna. The MNA decided to stick with the International layout used in the WGP2 but there were rumours about using the AtMA or the K1 layouts. There were a lot of upgrades to the infrastructure of the circuit to better suit WGPC. There was a planned revision of the International layout but it was cancelled until next year due to a certain pandemic problem. The MNA hopes that this circuit would still be successful in international racing.

(Edit: Apparently NS doesn't like Discord images now, didn't notice it until I tried to put an image for Akresna.)

R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
Driver's bio: Yes that Nate Jackson. The TIF 13 Jackson. There is much of a story to his career which includes, WGPC, the Olympics, and Racing at WGP3 Circuits on the International Level. Nate got his first breakthrough in the Kalactanian Racing Circuit, where he managed to come out as a 20 year old, and upset star driver Randy Neilson, who was the best driver in Northwest Kalactin at the time. He would go onto finish first that season, but that wasn’t all that Nate would have in his career. After 2 more successful seasons where he topped the drivers championship and led Mountain Racing to another Constructors Cup, he would take a leap to the next stage.

Nate would put his name out there for the 16th season of the WGPC. He would end up signing with the WGP Motorsports Team, Team India Force 13, while the Kalactanian nation affiliated with many nations from India. He and Ranveer Singh would come over much scrutiny from seasoned WGPC officials due to the extremely poor media coverage surrounding both drivers. Both Ranveer and Nate would go onto have relatively poor seasons at the Championship, so much so that Ranveer was replaced mid season by North Prariean driver Luc Kennedy. TIF 13 would go onto finish with one of the lowest scores in the Constructors Championship, tying for last with Bitten Heroes.

That wouldn’t be the end of Nate’s racing career though, as Open Wheel Racing was announced as a Demonstration Event at the Games of The XIII Olympiad, hosted in Republica, Free Republics. Nate was not allowed to have a car made by any of his previous manufacturers, but rather have one made by the NKOC, which didn’t care much about Racing. He would end up with multiple DNFs throughout the Olympics at the Republica Speedway, but that didn’t bring him down. He would end up signing with a team in Mattijana, and would come in during the last few races, and would put some impressive times up, but due to his late coming, would finish 13th. He is now looking for potential teams in the 18th Season of WGPC, look out for Nate Jackson.

I'm not sure if I should or would be advised to sign up, given the less-than-stellar performance of the Valentians for WGP2. I might put this on hold.

I would just like to sign up a single driver, no circuits from me.

Circuit Name: Autodromo Internazionale del Rivoli
Grand Prix Name: Eisborg Gran Premio di Nekoni
Track Image:

Lap Record (F1/WGPC Car): 1:38.765
Track Length (km): 5.918km
Qualifying Type (Traditional, One-Shot, Elimination or Two-Tiered): Traditional
If qualifying is 'Traditional' or 'One-Shot', would you like your race to be considered for the feature/sprint race weekend?: Y
Chance of rain (1%-20%): 1.8

Overtaking Difficulty (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is easy, 5 is difficult): 3.1
Margin for error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous): 2.7
Info: Nekoni's current main circuit has undergone a minor transformation from when we last saw it. In the downtime over the last season, changes have been made to it for the first time since its inception in 1990. Whilst these additions may make the track faster, and in some ways, easier to drive, any attempt to underestimate the sting of Rivoli will almost certainly still result in the dolomite walls of the valleys claiming a wing or a wheel. Built into a natural ridge, the circuit has kept largely the shape of the mountain road that formerly occupied it, and the reprofiling means over the 52 laps, the drivers have potential to drive even faster than the playboys of the 60s who lived fast and died young on it.

From the beginning left-right chicane, drivers build their speed with the newly designated turn 3, and continue along a long, sweeping, ascending right over the blind apex of Turn 3, the entire section decked with Armco barriers on its right to prevent a long drop. The next turn, a tight-second gear right-hander, begins a dramatic descent. Turn 5, for an increased challenge, as been tightened for an actual turn 6 left hander to begin the heavy reduction in gradient. Skilful drivers can use this gradient to potentially go round it in full throttle, setting up for a difficult right hand sweeper, past the much-simplified kink into Turn 8, the most infamous point of the circuit. Named 'The Carousel', this hard left is banked slightly, allowing those who can get the angle precise can minimise their speed loss for the next stage of the lap. Of course, with the extra speed, care must be taken here. It's a much shorter gravel trap than one would expect, and failure to brake in time may lead into a hard and painful end to your day.

Where we once continued along the valley's rocky wall into a mid-speed complex, this season we reach new horizons. The Bowl, Turn 9 of the circuit, is a 10-degree banked left-hander. This bypasses the valley section of last year, is much wider than before, and allows a full-throttle ascent into Turn 10's slow right, which thanks to the greater speeds, is now a much more considerable overtaking opportunity, and a better spectator spot than ever before.

The ascent begins in the final third of the lap, with the speed being gradually built through the simple lefts of 11 and 12, before the hill appears to crest at the double-apex turn 13, which makes the bend blind, and much more difficult than it appears. However, the next two turns continue the ascent up the hill, and, in a change to proceedings, the circuit continues westwards at Turn 16. The lap concludes with the new final turn 18: following a simple right, the DRS detection zone marks the braking point for a tight left. Naturally, the better the turn is performed, the better in shape the driver is for the long 1200m blast uphill to complete the lap.

R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12.
Driver's bio: Alex Dimitrianov has gone from being a fresh-faced rookie to one of the war-horses of the WGPC. The now-33 year-old has 5 seasons of top tier racing under his belt now and is seeking a drive for his sixth consecutive series.
Despite his increasing age and experience, Dimitrianov enjoyed his best finishing position yet in his most recent season, in which he raced for Filindostani outfit Badai Angin. Third was the eventual prize for a season in which he was best of the rest behind the dominant TRAE team, comprehensively outraced rookie teammate Carsten O'Rourke and picked up the fourth win of his career in Liventia.
The north-Mattijanan is renowned for his conservative and consistent approach to driving and is seen as the sort of driver who will bring you regular points, whilst not wasting any of your team's finances on new bodywork. He's not one for setting the track on fire, but that won't stop him from quietly trying to improve on that position from last season. Rumours have suggested he may re-sign for Badai Angin, but in an ever-unpredictable drivers' market, who knows if they will prove correct.

Driver's bio: A product of MRT's young driver programme, Jasmin Kranjska is only 25, but feels like she has been part of the WGPC for longer than her one and a half seasons. The Puljankan impressed at Badai Angin in her first few races, before landing a seat in an unexpectedly dog-ish SinVal car last season. Despite the sub-standard machinery, Kranjska dragged the car onto the podium twice and thrashed teammate Dahlia Dahl 36-7 in the head to head record.
With a full season behind her, Kranjska will be looking for a competitive seat in the coming season, whether that comes at her home team or elsewhere on the grid.

Manufacturer Name: Petrovi
Manufacturer Nationality Trigram: MTJ
Reliability (Between -1 and 1): -0.25

Independent Petrovijanka-based outfit Petrovi made their debut alongside MRT back in WGPC 14 and have a constructor's title to their name courtesy of the team's run in WGPC16. It was last season where they really made their mark as a multi-team supplier however. Alongside MRT, Petrovi also supplied tyres to VMR after a switch midway through the season, contributing to an upturn in form for the Vannish outfit late in the season that earned praise from the team's owners and drivers. Despite only having two teams on the books for a portion of the season, Petrovi also finished in the top 4 of Tropicorp's unofficial tyre rankings.
This year's compound offers a balanced setup between traction and degradation and have a shape and size that makes them effective with any setup. They offer a solid choice for any team, quietly doing their job and allowing the car to do the talking. If chosen as an official WGPC supplier, they Petrovi will be looking to take on Tropicorp - and other major suppliers - for the unofficial crown of multiverse's top rubber.

Preferred Car Number: 50
Second Choice Car Number: 75
Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 4
Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 5
Technique (Between 2 and 5): 3

Driver's bio:
A strong competitor in the Hapilopper Championship Series, the Dominion of Hapilopper's top open-wheel single seater series, Rudy Edwards is aggressive, tough and gung-ho about what he does for a living. And he does it well, too, winning the HCS Championship the last two years. At only 23 years of age, many suggest that Rudy's best years are still ahead of him, and he could be on his way to being one of the all-time greats in Hapiloppian racing, if he could just keep his cool.

But that could wind up being Rudy's biggest downfall. Rudy is just as much of a hothead as he is a fast driver. Sometimes, when faced with adversity, Rudy responds by letting his anger get the best of him. Those listening to his radio during a race have been subjected to some of the worst language heard in any environment. Rudy is an extremely intense individual, and that intensity can be seen anywhere - in his interviews, in public appearances, on the race track. Sometimes this intensity can be a good thing, but sometimes he gets a little ahead of himself.

Rudy has support from the Preston Automobile Company, not dissimilar to the way Drake Stevenson was in his run in WGPC. There are rumors that Rudy could wind up driving for a Preston Autos works team, which is reportedly based out of the Team Blue shop in Hapilopper City. How a new team and a new driver work together in the World Grand Prix Championship remain to be seen, but if anyone have the ability to get the job done, it's Rudy Edwards and Preston Autos.

BIO: Peregrine has long been a staple on the Anthoran domestic racing scene, having always been a favorite to win it all in the Royal Auto Racing system and had, four times over six years but a series of nagging medical issues over the last four years have led to Martell entering the middle of her career with most of the glory appearing to be behind her, instead of in the front. Despite this, she triumphantly returned to RAR racing last season, and managed to led Hailey Motorworks to a constructor's title and finished just 2 points shy of the best driver of the year, narrowly beaten out by Ivan Elwin. Typically, the RAR champion and runnerup are the representatives to the WGPC but beginning this season, format changes have determined that the two drivers will be determined by player vote - Martell was easily chosen for her unmatched skill in the game, and tenacity to drive the others down with it.

BIO:
This will be Denholm's third year in the WGPC, his last entry was an attempt in the 16th edition but he went unselected by any team and thus never participated outside of the initial qualifying events. The drama surrounding him domestically as done little to dissipate as the criminal proceedings against his former team have finally gotten underway, and all throughout the RAR season he looked to put it behind himself as he focused on integrating with his new team Auchenvar - he finished the season with a win at the Ironforge Grand Prix and overall fourth position in the tables which is very respectable for a driver who has been long heralded as the next generational talent in racing but often side railed with inconsistent performance many believe was caused by off-track antics. Hopefully, with the new team and his past finally closing that chapter, Kingsley can score a team and some success in this 18th edition.

Overtaking Difficulty (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is easy, 5 is difficult): 2
Margin for error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous): 2.4
Info: The wide and free-flowing nature of Diarcesian roads naturally rolls over to this raceway. The dedicated and illustrious test track of the Pryfors Bilar (PB) automotive company was built shortly after its founding, near the original location of its HQ. It has witnessed countless moments of elation, despair, and twisted metal in its many decades of operation. Now, through the tears and grime of times past, it continues to inspire fear and joy in drivers of all abilities. In their campaign of building up recognition, the company has opened the Raceway to international events, starting with the successful WGP2 III.

The competitors and spectators will experience a mix of thrills and pitfalls along the way. They may come across ancient relics of a bygone era, or even find statues of ancient snakes and lizards that have died out altogether.

The start of the track is located at the end of the Grovedoor Straight, and cars enter the sharp and wide turn of the Console-Passant. Cars finishing the previous lap can retain much of their speed entering it and maintain their pace to take advantage of the following still-open stretch, named by Aldauren Ginintella (then PB's test driver) as Memories of Old Run: a hotly-disputed part where the lead can swap hands several times in a lap. Following a forced slow-down on Turn Three, the narrowest segment of the track, the cars go full-speed again in the next couple of smooth turns. However, drivers must be careful: borrowing from poker terminology, the Flop, Turn, and River corners can be unforgiving to those who err.

The second half of the track begins with the lead-up to the Cansay Drift, normally used by PB to highlight their offerings' handling characteristics. Things slow down a bit and the cars pass under a bridge as the elevation increases. Once they reach the apogee at the Crux of Experience (that it's PB's marketing slogan is no coincidence), the drivers go downhill with a mild meandering stretch towards Turn 11. Another hot overtaking spot, the drivers must maintain their momentum here and on the entrance to the Grovedoor Straight if they don't want to be left behind in the dust as the lap finishes.

The fans who make up the bulk of the racing fan base will be happy to hear that the track does indeed have dedicated sections reserved for special events.

Margin for error (0.1 - 5. 0.1 is forgiving, 5 is treacherous): 3.5
Info: Zentorno Dilago was built in 1985 after a huge need to build a new circuit to serve Liguria. The previous circuit of Zentorno Dilago was a 15.4 mile street circuit composed of mountain roads with little to no run-off area. The current Zentorno Dilago is almost the opposite. Elevation change is still present, but danger isn't nearly a factor as the track has lots of tarmac runoff and gravel traps. In all it's history, Zentorno Dilago has only ever witnessed one driver death. All drivers will complete 68 laps of the circuit and will mix the thrill of racing with the beauty and wonderful views of the D.U.C.K. wine country.

The track begins going up the hill towards the fast and long righthander at turn one, which gradually flattens, and leads into the 45 degree left turn at Vernazza, and exits onto the fast left-right s section which leads down the hill towards Manarola (Turn 6), a long flat-out lefthanderhander which leads onto the Buono Straight. Turn 7 is a 90 degree lefthand hairpin which loops into the chicane extion of the track. Tunrs 8, 9, 10, and 11 are all tight right-left chicanes which lead to the final three corners, Riomaggiore (Turn 12), a 90 degree left hander, Giancarlo (Turn 13) another 90 degree left hander, and Pazzaro (Turn 14), a long sweeping righthander which gives drivers a chance to go flat out and gain a slipstream on another car whilst going back towards the start-finish line on the Dilago Straight.

Fans are required to book tickets in advance and will have the option of grandstand seating. The max. capacity of the circuit is 50,000 people.

He has no WGPT3 experience. He has no WGP2 experience. He has never won a major title in karting. However, he does have Yusuke's FunStar money to get himself a ride in the highest level.

Daryl stands at 5 feet, 8 inches, and weighs a respectable 140 pounds, and has an Asian look. As an 18 year old, he has some rules that he has to learn. Very aggressive on the karting tracks, he might be the type who would intentionally crash out another opponent, no matter the risk. In karting, he also didn't have the best gear. Often at times, Daryl would have his engine or brakes lose the will to live, causing him to be DNFed at most karting events he went to. If he does make it to the finish, however, he will probably do it in a car that's on the edge of breaking apart.

His technique is decent for a driver as well, good on the corners and can pull off some magic given the right equipment. However, he is not a good driver on straights, and he can and will lose positions in this manner. In a karting event, he got last place on the grid - Not because he got a grid penalty, because he was a snail on the straights, although he was a beast on the corners. This can be attributed to him going off the racing line to attempt passes even though there aren't any karts there. He could pull off some magic, but it's going to be rare.

Driver's bio:
The son of stock car racer Guillermo Archer. It can be said that motorsports is in William's blood. William was exposed to racing at a very young age, having been brought to his father's races since he was three years old. For all intents and purposes it seemed as if William would follow Guillermo into stock car racing, but a trip to a go-kart racing track when he was 8 years old changed all that. William took to karting like a fish takes to water and began winning trophies in his local races and junior categories. Then, at 16 years old William made the leap into Grand Prix racing, or at least something a little bit close to it. William didn't win the title in his rookie year in the Coalition Grand Prix Racing Association, but placing 8th in a field of 22 drivers is still a very decent performance. And now, with UrGa Motorsports opting to test the waters of truly multiversal racing in the form of WGP2, William now has the chance to cut his teeth at the second-to-the-top level. It's said that he also has an eye on moving up to the WGPC depending on or no matter how his time WGP2 pans out. Just something to keep in mind, especially given that he won the Nimban Deuxieme Prix in what in his own opinion was one of the worst cars on the WGP2 III grid.

Driver's bio: Taras Gavrilovich Matviyenko has been with UrGa Motorsports for as long as anyone can remember. Drivers and even principals for UrGa might come and go, but Taras remains the only consistent factor on that team. Taras doesn't even have the regular background that one might expect from racecar drivers; he started off as a regular factory floor worker for UrGa before getting "promoted" to being a literal test driver, driving UrGa's automotive offerings across a variety of road and weather conditions and documenting the experiences of the drivers and passengers. When UrGa decided to enter the world of motorsports, they literally threw Taras into the very first chassis they produced with the order "Go as fast as possible." This resulted in him winning the first ever drivers' championship in the Coalition Grand Prix Racing Association in 2021, as well as helping UrGa to their first (and so far only) constructors' title. Then in the next season, Taras was involved in a crash that almost cost him his life, and he has never raced the same after that. Taras never challenged for another drivers' title after that, but yet UrGa kept their faith with him, maybe because he is literally one of them. Taras had a golden opportunity to pick up a 1-2 for UrGa with his teammate Lane Carter were it not for an unfortunate incident that cost both of them the podium, but after that his fortunes have been topsy-turvy; two podiums but no wins. He was told that UrGa would not stand in his way if he decided to take the step up to the WGPC, and it looks like Taras has indeed taken the step up.
