Current Status:
In-Season - Races
Things You can Always RP About:
- Your Driver(s)
- Your Team
- Your Track, Sponsors, Manufacturers etc. - pretty much anything?
Note: This is the WGP2 RP Thread. There is a separate RP thread for WGPC. Ultimately, the two RP threads will be treated as a single source for RP, however, during the season, it is logically recommended to post series-specific topics in the appropriate thread.
To see how the negotiation period usually works, read below and/or have a look at last season’s RP thread. Once you have signed a driver up, begin writing about them in this thread. The more interesting the story you create, the more chance your driver has of catching the eye of one of the WGPC teams. There are no rankings. Success is built on good roleplaying by team-owners, drivers and team-mates as well as a big slice of luck, with your driver’s parameters coming into play too.
You may RP however you like. Maybe you'd prefer to tell the world that a couple of teams are interested in your driver via some rumour-mongering in your local newspapers? Perhaps you'd like to set up an interview with a team? Maybe your driver 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 car 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 RL Formula 1, the best drivers are paid handsomely to drive while the newcomers often have to pay a teamin order to secure a drive. Does your driver need to secure sponsorship in order to pay his way into a deal? Or is he a skilled driver with years of experience, upon whom a team can rely to draw money to the team through external sponsorship and win bonuses?
When you wish to confirm that a driver has joined a team, or formally offer a spot in your team to a driver, do so in bold, like this or this or this or simply like this.
As this is the RP thread, there should be no out-of-character chatter here. Banter and informal inquiries are welcome on the NS Motorsports Discord Channel Take any official inquiries and/or complaints to the OOC discussion thread.
All teams should have two drivers confirmed no later than 20 October. Any team with ZERO confirmed drivers on 20 October may lose their spot on the grid.

Driver Signups are still open and can be found in this thread. You may also utilize the Quasi-Official WGPC / WGP2 Signups Spreadsheetfor ease of viewing and personal filters and to quickly find out more information about the drivers than is posted below. The number to the far left is the drivers finishing position in the most recent season of WGPC/WGP2 competition. 1-30 correlated to finishing position in the WGPC Season 18 Driver Standings. 31-60 correlate to a finishing position (-30) in the WGP2 Season 5 Driver Standings.
Note: Drivers designated as "WGPC Only" in the World Grand Prix Championship thread may still be approached particularly if they do not sign for a WGPC team. Drivers participating in WGP2 Race Seats may also serve as test drivers for WGPC teams. Drivers not signed in WGP2 may wish to drop down to the AOGP or theWGP3 Esportiva Circuit which will be run in parallel with the WGPC/WGP2 Season
