1979 rFactor F1 - Please go to 1980 thread

[pasta_maldonado]

Yes, that's right folks, the F1 Rejects Grand Prix 79 Championship has arrived! A few of you expressed interest in this series in the FORCWSOGMM Thread, and called dibs on a few teams, so their names are next to the team with a question mark. Confirmed team owners are in bold. The series will be run using rFactor, and all the teams of the 1979 championship, except Kauhsen.

After the teams are sorted, polling for the calendar wil begin.

To enter the F1RGP79C, just state what team you would like, if you would like it renamed, how many cars you will be entering (1 or 2) and your drivers. Any team can have two cars in this series, even teams who only entered 1 in 1979. The drivers can be fictional or real. People can post their own drivers for you to use. or you can create/use your own.It's up to you! Feel free to post any sort of biography and information you want for your fictional drivers!

*DRIVERS FOR HIRE*

Enter away!!

[shinji]

Given that Kauhsen are not in the game ( ), may I take Ligier?

[eurobrun]

Can I have Williams.

[Ferrarist]

I'm gonna take ATS, if that's okay.

[pasta_maldonado]

Given that Kauhsen are not in the game ( ), may I take Ligier?

Sorry about that. It seems the mod makers deemed them forgettable ( ) and didn't include thhem. Yes, you may take Ligier. Who are your drivers shinji?

eurobrun, Phoenix has called dibs on Williams, you can either wait and see if he decides to take it or claim another team

Ferrarist, ATS is all yours!

Can everyone please post their drivers?

[eurobrun]

What about Lotus then.

[AndreaModa]

Harvey Jones is interested in a seat at either Williams, Tyrrell or Lotus please!

If I need to control a team as well I will, but I'd prefer to just enter the driver for now if that's okay.

[pasta_maldonado]

What about Lotus then.

All yours.

Jacques Laffite, and, in a break with common Ligier practice, the decidedly non-French Edward Kevin, a young Irishman.

[FMecha]

I'm going to take Tyrrell.

And if I can enter a driver now, put Hiroshi Takagi (father of Kazuhiko and Tetsuya, [future] racing drivers, so Japanese) in the Tyrrell.

[eurobrun]

Lotus will take Alan Jones (if available) as their lead driver.

[pasta_maldonado]

I'm going to take Tyrrell.

And if I can enter a driver now, put Hiroshi Takagi (father of Kazuhiko and Tetsuya, [future] racing drivers, so Japanese) in the Tyrrell.

Yep, Tyrells all yours. Drivers can be entered now, will you be using two cars for the season?

Eurbrun, he's all yours.

[Stramala]

Seeing as Alfa are already taken, I will pick Merzario instead.

Arturo Merzario has decided to take a step down from driving duties to focus on running the team more professionally, therefore taking his place will be promising Italian youngsters Elio de Angelis and Simone Guidetti (changed my mind when I saw we could pick real drivers)

Sure, Merzarios yours.

[the Masked Lapwing]

I'll take Brabham. I'll figure out drivers eventually.

[pasta_maldonado]

I'll take Brabham. I'll figure out drivers eventually.

Cool, Brabham's all yours. One thing - would you like the Alfa engined version or the Ford engined version?

[East Londoner]

I think I fancy the Wolf team, if that's alright.

[the Masked Lapwing]

Hmm... I'll go with the Ford.

[pasta_maldonado]

Wolf's all yours East Londener. What about drivers?

Hmm... I'll go with the Ford.

Cool.

[Phoenix]

Hey, I thought we had agreed that I wanted Alan Jones beforehand! Never mind, I take Williams and Gilles Villeneuve and Callum McAllister as their drivers. McAllister's nationality is Spanish, despite the English name.

[Pamphlet]

Oh. This seems cool. Can I take Arrows?

[pasta_maldonado]

Hey, I thought we had agreed that I wanted Alan Jones beforehand! Never mind, I take Williams and Gilles Villeneuve and Callum McAllister as their drivers. McAllister's nationality is Spanish, despite the English name.

sorry Phoenix! I missed that post. Anyway, Williams is yours and so is Callum McAllister, but Gilles has been dibbed by JeremyMcClean

Pamphlet, Arrows is yours. Would you like to use the A1 or the A2?

[the Masked Lapwing]

After careful deliberation (read: looked at Wikipedia), Brabham will take Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet (so, real life then )

Oh, I figured from the thread that you'd already settled on the A2. A2 it is.

As for drivers, I'll go with Patrese (unless he's already been taken) and the oh-so-lovely rookie Kieran Sutherland.

Patrese's yours and so is Keiran.... is that the same Keiran Sutherland of RTCC fame?

[Pamphlet]

Indeed it is. I still need to write something for him, lol. I only really have ideas for his kids...

[Wizzie]

German Pierre Depault, son of JLD team owner Jean-Louis Depault will race for the ATS team. Hell, JLD will like to become the title sponsor/partner of the ATS team should Ferrarist allow it.

Added Pierre to the drivers for hire list in the first post. It's up to Ferrarist though Wizzie if he can race for ATS

[eurobrun]

Just put Harvey Jones in the second Lotus as I can't be bothered to create someone myself.

Also, the Lotus team manager is called Derek Barclay.

Cool, Harvey Jones now has the second seat at Lotus. AndreaModa, what's his nationality?

And there's plenty more teams avalaible so don't be afraid to sign up!

[Phoenix]

OK, I take Jody Scheckter then.

[Ferrarist]

German Pierre Depault, son of JLD team owner Jean-Louis Depault will race for the ATS team. Hell, JLD will like to become the title sponsor/partner of the ATS team should Ferrarist allow it.

Yeah, why not? We offer our services, and someone pays. And hopefully that someone pays good money for his cockpit. But what kind of German name is Pierre Depault? I suggest we rename him "Peter von Paul", or so...

Ferrarist, will you be entering another car for ATS?

OK, I take Jody Scheckter then.

Done.

[BlindCaveSalamander]

I'll take Renault, I guess. Jean-Pierre Jabouille will be our first driver, undecided on the second. Also, French rookie Guillaume Gauthier is looking for a seat somewhere.

Cool, Renault's yours BCS

[Stramala]

First post says Merzario has Guidetti and Della Valle instead of De Angelis and Guidetti. I call dibs on him before someone else nicks him!!

[WaffleCat]

I call dibs on McLaren!

[AdrianSutil]

I'll happily take Shadow then. We will use the DN9 chassis with the Ford DFV engine. Drivers will be British driver John Watson and Finnish hotshot, Keke Rosberg (unless otherwise taken)
