RP/Results thread
Season 4 of the World Grand Prix Tier Two is currently in the
INITIAL SIGNUP PHASE
NEGOTIATION PERIOD and DRIVER SIGNUP PHASE
REGULAR SEASON
To see how the negotiation period usually works, read below and/or have a look at the WGPC RP thread.
If you have been awarded a team, you begin with no drivers signed and must RP to reach agreements with the free-agent drivers. You should sign no more than two drivers for your team.
Once you have signed a driver or team 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, or vice-versa. 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 team in 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. Both driver and team must confirm a signing for it to become valid.
Finally, as this is the RP thread, there should be no out-of-character chatter here. Take your observations, commentary and complaints to the OOC discussion thread.
Confirmed teams
If your team is on this list, you may begin RPing your search for your drivers. Please avoid, where possible, signing two drivers both controlled by you.
The spec suppliers for this season have been confirmed as Preston Autos for engines and Deyoze Tyres for tyres. Teams below are listed with the engines/tyres they will use for the season. If you signed up a team not using spec engines/tyres, they may still have been assigned the spec.
Fourteen teams have made the final cut, based on current signup numbers. This was not an easy decision and if you missed out on a team, don't be disheartened. Strong RP with your drivers may lead to a WGPC (top-tier) team invitation. Additionally, teams not accepted will remain on standby to replace non-active (low-RP) teams at any point in the season.
