RD Formula Manager - Season 6

[Slyfrequency]

@Slyfrequency - After the promising last race, this one must have been very harsh. What are your plans to bounce back?

We're a Development team at the moment so we expected this type of thing to happen, we're just gathering data as much as we can for the future.

Changing Sponsors to F-Q.
No Buys.

@rubaru - Are you planning to stick with Riferra engines? You pushed a lot today, but they seem to be giving not much in return.

I quite agree, there wasn't a lot more to get out of these engines. The Riferra engine has gone out of business recently but we paid for 5 races worth, so we're going to cut our losses and work with what we have. Obviously we won't be putting anymore money into improving the engine as, I think I mentioned already, a deal is being worked out for a new supplier beginning with Round 6. We will make an announcement as soon as details are finished, but I think all our fans will be pleased to see an improvement in pace coming in Belgium.

@TTupsi - Finally you returned to podium. But what happened with Michele?

We took a risk with her in the qualifying but unfrotunately it didn't work out like we had hoped. She had to make an early pit stop and did all she could to climb up the order. At least we're wiser now as a team

Important note regarding Driver Testing skill:
Testing bonuses apply only when you do the test by yourself. Sponsor/Partner/Mid-season organised tests are unaffected by your 3rd driver's Testing skills.

@Omer Said
Please explain difference between the two upgrades for Goodyear
Dry Speed vs. Tyre Speed
PS - Thanks @kedy89 for contributing to better tyres!

 

[kedy89]

feels like all my recent riskies have been tyre upgrades :/

No difference, just wording differently. But +2 means that it gave double the speed than a regular speed upgrade.

Missed Aidan's two Pirelli tests rewarded by the sponsor, their results:
+Dry Speed
+Wet Speed

Thought he already got the 500 extra for the 1-2, and you can only have one of the extra sponsors?

 

[Aidan Keranen]

It was a miscommunication between us, I thought I was getting the tyres and had done my math wrong, I've been notified that the cash was deducted.

 

[Omer Said]

There is a significant number of managers who are yet to give their qualifying orders. Qualifying will be calculated tonight.

Also a question to all:
Would you be OK with a secret manager who enters with his team, but you won't know who is he and what are their orders? Someone requested to play in such a way to make things interesting, and I wonder your opinion about it. Initially, I thought that would not be OK, but let's hear you folks!

 

[rubaru]

In a real race, all orders are a secret. As long as you can guarantee they are valid orders and no cheating then we shouldn't have a problem.

Btw say hi to Milos for me.

I was going to say the exact same!

Hi

Good guess, but surprisingly, it wasn't me that made this request!

 

[Omer Said]

Flash return by Ricciardo!

And the race will begin now as the Qualifying is settled:
