What is Grand Prix Simulations?

Instead of driving the cars yourself, you serve the role of team manager. Build your car, paint your cars, hire drivers, choose race strategy, and setup your cars for optimum speed to win races. This B-Spec series uses the PC racing simulator rFactor as it's base with the FSOne 2008 mod. Each race will be broadcast live on twitch.tv/alphicah in 1080p @60fps.

Nice, thanks for the quick reply!

Anyone willing to help me with the car‘s paintjob? :D I think I can get the suit done by myself somehow and maybe I can find some helmets already done, but the car livery is beyond my skills.

Will Mercedes' Rumored 1,000 HP Motor Power a Team to a World Title?
12/16/2020

While it's been no secret that Mercedes has built this season's most powerful power unit, what is shocking is the numbers that have gotten out about it's pure power. The number 1,000 has been swirling around for a few days now, with several reliable sources willing to back it up. What's more, this power is said to be available even in racing conditions, and not a simple one off 'party mode' to be used in qualifying. Because of the tremendous downforce and drag created by the cars it's estimated top speeds will 'only' be in the 350kph range on the fastest tracks.

Each engine will have to last 8 races per GPS technical regulations. If Mercedes has produced an engine this powerful, with this much longevity it will surely be hailed as one of the great automotive feats of our time. It also ensures GPS will continue to provide thrilling on track excitement by showcasing the fastest, most dramatic racing vehicles on the planet. Not only will the cars look great, fans can rest assured that they will sound great too while redlining at 18,000 RPM. What's more, each engine will have it's own unique sound signature fans will no doubt delight in picking out and eventually choosing a favorite.

GPS plans to provide the greatest live entertainment in the world. The series is working diligently to have it all, glamour, danger, as well as visual and audio overload. The very best drivers from all over the world are signing up to drive for professional, top tier teams. Competition is guaranteed to be intense and close with rules finely tuned to ensure as much on track action as possible.

I don't think there is anyway I will have a livery design ready... I am still moving boxes around my house, so setting up my PC has not happened yet and unlikely before next week!
