FGP 2011 - Results Thread

[N. Jones]

Welcome to FGP for 2011!

For those returning the rules and budget are the same as last year. For those who are new I will give a brief rundown of how FGP works. Please visit this website for more information: http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/

Each team owner has a budget of 48,000,000 in which to build a team.
Each team consists of the following:
Two race drivers
One reserve driver
one chassis (for ex: Team Lotus)
one engine
one bonus GP

This is a sample FGP team that fits in the 48 million range:

CucamongaF1
Vettel, Glock
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull/STR reserve driver)
HRT
Cosworth
Bahrain

Once an owner has assembled her or his team it must be posted in this thread for it to be 'official'.
All teams must be unique. This is an example of a unique team:

Team Jaguar-Ford
Vettel, Glock
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull/STR reserve driver)
HRT
Cosworth
Japan
Everything is the same but the bonus GP, therefore it is a legal team.
Lastly, I cannot stress this enough:
Each team's third driver is someone who is NOT on the price list at: http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/home/price-list.

If you wish to enter a team please travel to this website:
http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/
find a team that fits the budget limits and then return here to enter it.

Robert Kubica will be left in the price list, even if there is a slim chance he races this season. Once Renault announce his replacement I will add him to the price list.

The deadline for entering teams is March 10.

Thank You very much for reading this and good luck to all who enter!

OK - first time of doing this then;

Wilko's Wacky Racers

Kobayashi 11m
Kovalianen 5m
Hulkenberg
Ferrari 18m
Mercedes 12m
Monaco

Total Spend 46m

[N. Jones]

OK - first time of doing this then;

Kobayashi,Kovalianen
Senna (reserve) and if Renault pick him, will choose Hulkenberg as my reserve reserve!
Ferrari
Mercedes
Monaco

I would recommended against this as I do not have a definite price for Senna or Heidfeld yet.
If you keep your team as is just remember that you will be forced to change it once Lotus Renault makes their decision.

Oh, don't forget a team name!

Force Yorkshire

Nico Rosberg £21m
Paul di Resta £6m
Nick Heidfeld

Thanks

Correct, Heidfeld will have to be switched out if he becomes Kubica's replacement.

[N. Jones]

Early Reminder:

You're 3rd driver cost 1 million, so make sure you add that to your total!!!

[N. Jones]

Team Southern Kit Cars

Petrov - 10
Di-Resta - 6
Heidfield
McLaren - 20
Mercedes - 12
Bonus - GB

skc, your 1,000,000 over the budget:

Petrov - 10
Di Resta - 6
heidfeld - 1
McLaren - 20
Mercedes - 12

49 million. You need to shed one million to be on budget.

[Shifter]

What's your inclination on RK's replacement driver cost? Will it be the same price as Kubica no matter who is in the seat, or will you adjust that price accordingly?

Oh, and thanks for running this again!
