I'm going to profile 20-30 different drivers to choose from - but read carefully! A driver's contract fee is not always indicative of his or her abilities (yes, her)!
So far I have 6. I will work on more when I get home.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
Ooooooooh, so THAT'S what you meant by Driver Numbers. You didn't mean the number of drivers, you meant the numbers the actual cars will carry.
Gonna get on that one quick.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Well, well, well. Since people are not rushing to join this, I have gotten a space. Yay!

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.
Fictional ones for our teams, and real ones to on the teams that already exist in the teams they already exist in (We need to keep the field at 24 cars after all, and the best way to do it is to use the real teams.)
So, McLaren-Mercedes would have Jenson and Lewis, but our teams will have the ones I'm writing up.
(At least part of this is due to the fact that I don't watch the midfield close enough and don't have a good enough historical memory to bring back retired drivers, however, I will do my best to if you guys wish, and another part is that I need to keep driver stats secret, at least initially and to do that, I need to not use drivers people would be familiar with, let's be honest, you know anyone called 'David Coulthard' would be beyond useless.)

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

So, I wanted to do something different. So, I thought of this. Simply enough, you get to intro your own formula one team for this RP only - starting in Bahrain and finishing in Abu Dhabi, we take a ride for an entire season - make your team profile. When we have teams, I will submit drivers available for hire. You have a limited budget, use it well. You get 10M for both dirver hiring (you need two) and R&D on your car. What happens on track is not directly influenced by you - I will throw up all the upsets and action you need - I'm basically serving as the drivers and stewards. Manage the team well and the results will show.
We'll be working on the 2011 ruleset and calendar - so with KERS and DRS, no mid-race refuelling, etc.
I have figured out one formula to manipulate the race, thought up some statuses etc. In other words, I've made a crude RPG system.
So, what do you need to sign up your team?
- Team Name:
- Country Of Origin:
- Driver No's :
- Colours and Sponsors:
- Name of Owner: That's your most direct PC!
- Bio/History:
All the rest (R&D on car and drivers) will be decided later. I will post full profiles for drivers when signups have been recieved.Teams
Also, if we want, we could also do the wind-up/wind-down shows, commentary, reviews etc. If you're interested in anything meta like that, please say so.
