The banter might be better if nobody knows what your team is until you announce it! :DQuote:

The engine rule change makes a lot of sense with so few people making them. I'm liking how it makes for more team options now.
I think that is a great idea!Quote:

Good luck Mia. :devil: :p
(Now just watch as they come up with a flier now I'm not predicting great things for them)
No! We are spending the 1million on Research and Development, in a bid to move up the grid! :cool:
Thanks steve and RJ!
Yes perhaps itīs vise to spend some money on R&D, specially as I got the Sauber chassie.
But ofcourse, our care is splashed with ads, and they pays off quit good to so there shall be money for fun also. You guys are welcome to my teams rumbling after races.
I already have buyer's remorse taking the Williams-Mercedes lump :pQuote:

If McLaren fizzle out a lot of FGP teams will be pants ;)
Come on Felipe baby :dork:
I had Sauber last season and I vowed never again. :DQuote:

I have been research other line ups in case Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team decides to change things, but nothing much else seems to work.
So as it stands AHRT are still planning to announce the same team we had planned despite other people's similar directions.
McLaren will not give up the ghost now that the parent is back to slap the kids in line.
I'm sure they won't. Doesn't change the fact that they've got the weakest lineup since... Ever.Quote:

*Hoping to reach the highs of 2013 with my previously stunning 39th place. :facelick:
Good afternoon to the worlds media.
This is the official Launch post for the 2014 FGP entrant Aki Racing Team.
Our full line up details are at the bottom of this post.
Aki Racing team is entering its 3rd season of FGP and after a 32nd finish in 2012 and a shocking season in 2013 of 43rd out of 46, we are looking to move on up.
Thus the team boss steveaki13 has gone to radical lengths to try and improve the teams 2014 prospects.
The first move for 2014 was to sign up its first major sponsorship deal. Thus Aki Racing Team will be sponsored by Hedgehog Gutter Brush for 2014. "Taking care of all your gutter maintenance needs".
The Official title of the team for 2014 will be "Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team".
It is hoped that the income from our new partners will allow steveaki13 to invest in a better quality of line up this season.
Moving onto the driver line up for 2014. The team has parted company with Jenson Button after two seasons in which he helped us win a race event in 2012 FGP. After a lot debate Valterri Bottas has left the team too. Last minute discussions looked like he may have been kept on, but at the 11th hour he left the team.
So for 2014 we have signed up youngster Daniel Ricciardo in the hope that his cheap price and fast car will help lead our team. He will be joined by Pastor Maldonado despite an erratic nature, we believe he may score a few more points than Bottas did in 2013. Rumours saying that we were to sign Bianchi were premature and in the end we could not offer him a place for 2014.
Our third driver is a fine driver who we believe may actually race in 2014 if one of our drivers (Maldonado) misses races. This we feel is a much better approach than hiring has beens like Gianni Morebidelli. :crazy:
We were so pleased with Mercedes Engines in 2013, that we will be taking their chassis for 2014. We hope pre season testing is an accurate indication of the strength of the chassis and look forward to a great season.
As for Engine's we have decided to give McLaren another chance after sacking the chassis at the end of last season. Thus McLaren Mercedes Engines will power Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team in 2014.
We hope Canada will be a strong race for us this season and so choose it as our Bonus GP.
2014 FGP Lineup for Steveaki13
Official Team Name: Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team
http://thumb9.shutterstock.com/thumb...n-44202358.jpg
1st Driver: Daniel Ricciardo - 9
2nd Driver: Pastor Maldonado - 6
Reserve Driver: Heikki Kovalainen - 1
Chassis: Mercedes - 20
Engine: McLaren Mercedes - 11
Bonus GP: Canada
Total Cost of 2014 AHRT. 47 million.
*Leaves 1 million left for R&D, or if that fails just parties. :smokin:
Motorsport Forums Journalist caught up with Steveaki13 for a quick chat.
MFJ: So 2014 looks like a decent line up, but I notice a lot of people are thinking the same way.
SA13: Yes, there is a certain similarity but we have chosen this line up in all faith that it must move us up from the backmarker area to at least the midfield.
MFJ: Are you happy with your drivers?
SA13: Yes of course. They are fine guys and cheap. :devil: We hope Daniel will be awesome in his debut season for Red Bull, and Pastor is a fast guy but we just hope he wont crash to much. And Heikki? well he's just got great experience.
MFJ: Chassis and Engine's will be key this season and you appear to have moved up a level for 2014.
SA13: Yep. Mercedes stopped us being 46th last season so we promote them to Chassis and move McLaren Mercedes down to Engine.
MFJ: What about rivals for 2014.
SA13: Well we have certain rivals who have gone a similar way to us (they know who they are) but we believe this will stop us being embarrassed in 2014. Whether it beats them is another matter.
MFJ: Well thanks for your words at this exciting time, see you in the next few weeks as we build up to the new season.
SA13: Thanks, take care and good luck to all our rivals. :)
Thank yew for the good reveal Steveaki. Hopefully you won't be too far behind us this season.
Understandably, many teams consist of some combination of Ricciardo and Mercedes. This could lead to a very close field.
Maybe the few teams featuring Ferrari, like Mia and the Joneses could be in a very good position if it turns out Ferrari have the best package (it increasingly looks like they may have a good one).
Team warumnicht rensport.
Driver (1) Button--------------14 million
Driver (2) Magnussen----------8 million
Driver (3) Vandoorne----------1 million
Chassis McLaren--------------14 million
Engine McLaren Mercedes-- 11 million
Bonus Canada

Mr Jones, due to Valsecchi replacement at Lotus, I must make a single change on my Team ;)
Thanks Mr Jones,
These all look like pretty good lineups. Seemingly no obviously weak ones. Could make for a close season. :)
You don't have to worry about including the Dominos sponsorship. :)

Of course. You can change your team name whenever you want.
I was thinking of shortening mine too.
Thanks N.Jones for running this again this year :)
In regards Abu Dhabi, can we decide NOT to award double points? I don't see why we should follow F1's idiocy in this regards. Can we just treat it like a normal race please?
Thanks ! Btw, I am still not 100% sure about one of my driver. Can I change my line-up, in case I decide that ?Quote:

Pino - sorry, once posted all team entries are final, except due to team driver changes (basically, third drivers).
The one year I allowed team changes before the start of the season I was swamped with changes. I don't want to go through that again.
No problem, I understand that :)Quote:

If so I will get him to choose one and I will post it here if given the green light.
There's no way he will set up an account just to post a FGP team, so I will have to post it for him.
Let me know.
Erm... excuse me for being dumb, but how do you enter a team, I have been to the fantasy gp site but there isn't a link to click to enter my team?
Go to the first post of this thread and click the link. That takes you to the site.Quote:

Then type your team up on here and post as a normal message. In this format
Team Name: ?
1st Driver: ?
2nd Driver: ?
Reserve Driver: ?
Chassis:?
Engine: ?

Once posted N.Jones will record it and put it onto the website.
Hope this is clear. :)
