Basically, you will be running your own motoGP team for 2006 (if you join!).

You pick two riders, a team, an engine & tyres, all within a budget of $120,000.

-You can negotiate new contracts, but have to pay a 10% fee to get released from your current one
-All changes to your team must be made before qualifying.
-You get money and points based on actual race results.

(please report any issues, questions here!)

Let the competition begin!
Ben.

p.s. I'm undecided on prizes yet, I was going to have two options, a £5 entry fee, where you will be eligable for prizes......& a free version.

Whats the general feeling on this?

Gone with two gp newbies eh!

How did you find creating a team.....I think it just lacks a budget calculator, i.e. it tells you what youve spent (maybe for 07!)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Morgo @ Mar 3 2006, 01:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Ok now dont laugh. I didnt read the rules and thought i could change. so im stuck with only 1 rider and no cash cause of 10% fee. Im losing already. Anyone wanna spare some million, will pay you back sometime..

i guess the only way to restart my team is by registering again and have 2 teams im going with a sweet one man team ? ?



Alright Morgo............I can change the database directly for ya mate, let me know what rider you want...or I can wipe it completey and you can start again (just one team per user!)




<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (richo @ Mar 3 2006, 01:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Ben, That is gerat! Really impressed mate! At first I was going to go with "Team Kamikaze Japan!" And put Nakano and Tamada on Bridgestone shod Konica Minolta bikes with Honda powerplants..... But I decided to take it seriously, an Im glad I did, If you do, it gets really intresting. In the end I was weighing in factors like Honda's preseason form and such. I had the calculator out, and I was tossing up wether to put money into Riders or team/bikes. Really intresting stuff mate, got me all worked up. Top job. Loving it!

Gald you like it mate........should be fun!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (teomolca @ Mar 3 2006, 02:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>The points for the engine are awarded to the best qualified engine of a manufacturer or to the total points scored by all the engines of the same manufacturer?

I think the later, but will double check the database for the calculations....bear with me!

Cheers

Sure, you can change your team when you like....just remember its costs 10% to release your rider/engine/team/tyres from their contracts
