Can we leave a team (by your own will) even if the main objective was achieved?

Of course.

Bee's Team By Team Review!

So here's a quick run down of how I think each team fared!

BMW Sauber

Reigning champs from last season, the team did keep the teams championship this time round but was beaten to the drivers championship in the final race. David Smith and Herman Chang appear to be a great team. Rating: 9/10

Honda

Taken a step back this year but with both drivers in the Top 5 and 3rd in the teams, it's a creditable performance from Dubois and Butler. Capible of more in the new car set? Possibly. Rating: 8/10

McLaren

Below par first half of the season was counter attacked by a blitz of a second half seeing Brad finally take a drivers crown. I was involved in far too many incidents to have a chance. Rating: 9/10

Renault

Reliability woes and 2 Mid Season changes cause a suprisingly bad season for the Renault team. Scott Woodwiss was out within the first 5 races with Luke Mason later being replaced for the final race. Team of Laura Rees and Blake Haswell appeared to have a good run in Brazil. One to watch perhaps? Rating: 4/10

Ferrari

Very quiet season for the team as they appear to go through a transistional year with veteren Duncan Hutchinson and Rookie Ben Dunstan, the latter infact finished in the higher position. Should see thiss combo get to full speed next season. Rating: 6/10

Williams

Experienced combo of Wonton and Kawasie failed to bring up the performance expected of them, poor reliability and too many mistakes see the team drop into the bottom 3. Rating: 3/10

Super Aguri

Hallinan impresses in debut season with a fantastic win,Tag struggles at first but picks up pace as the season got on, should be an intresting S10 for both drivers. Rating: 6/10

Midland

Car was lacking pace throughout the season but both Charkaoui and Graham made best with the tools they had, a couple of podiums was a highlight in what was a hard year. Rating: 6/10

Toro Rosso

Taylor done superbly to finish 6th in the standings and achieve 2 wins in the process and beating her far more experienced team mate of Simon Trendell who looked lost at sea for alot of the season. Taylor, given the right car, could very well challenge for the title in Season 10. Rating: 7/10

Red Bull

Big improvement on a disastrous S8, Shepherd shines for the team finishing in the Top 10, Beyens kept the perofrmances coming in when his car decided not to expire. Bigger things on the horizon perhaps? Rating: 7/10

Toyota

Still the backmarkers of the championship but semmed to edge closer to the rest of the teams, Matt Keller caused alot of controversy however and it will be intresting how it affects his career. Rating 5/10

So as before go for any seat that does not have a confirmed driver, if there is an unconfirmed driver, you must wait to see what their action is. They get first pick regarding their seats because they accomplished their contracts.
 
Bah. I was just gonna say that.

I've joined the current public game in a Red Bull Porsche.
 
I've tried to join 3 teams..... They are full fast! I'll have to wait for one of us to set up a Private game....

EDIT: I've created Judd-Keller Racing! Hope to see some of you in the LMS series....


EDIT 2: Whoah.... Batracer just went down....
 
Damn it! So much for my shotgunning... Williams for me please! :)

Tag and Monique have put their request forward for both Red Bull seats.

Thankyou ;)

Edit: Wiat a minute... both Aguri drivers succeeded in their contracts... so how did they both loose their seats? :indiff:

...My mistake! :lol: If they want the Aguri seats, me and Appie will move elsewhere. Sorry!

I have checked everyones again though and they are all correctly delt with.

EDIT: Infact, take that back they both failed their primary objectives thus, they lost their seats:

14. Monique Hallinan
Contract Length: 3 Seasons
Objectives: Top 10 WDC NOT REACHED
Special Obectives: Finish On The Podium 3 Times NOT REACHED

15. Tag Schwarz
Contract Length: 2 Seasons
Objectives: Beat Jamez Shepherd in WDC NOT REACHED
Special Obectives: Finish On The Podium REACHED

The changes stand!
 
Press Release Time: Kawasie signs up with Spyker, again
For at least the 3rd season will be driving a Midland (if not a rebadged one), as today agents reported a swift deal with the Spyker F1 team for the 10th anniversary of GTPF1.

Personnel with Spyker reported that although Kawasie's performance has been less than optimal in recent seasons, he has driven well and won multiple races for Midland/Spyker in the past. In addition, teammate David Smith is a consistent top finisher, and the two together finished at the top of the pack in a recent historic 1986 Formula 1 championship.

Kawasie was quoted that his decision was "mainly due to Smith's interest in working together," claiming that with his own performance Kawasie "could not be a cherry-picker, and would take any race drive."

"Smith is an excellent teammate and driver, and I hope to learn much from him in the upcoming season," Kawasie stated. He also publicly apologized to old teammate Herman Chang for not being able to work with him again. "I don't think I'll be allowed within 500 feet of a Williams next season," he mused. "Perhaps next season sounds good?"

Kawasie however has also been contemplating re-launching a private championship of him during GTPF1 Season 11, known in many circles as the Total Mayhem series. With the recent opening to the public of the Le Mans cars and courses, he claims that the large field of entrants and lengthy races would make an excellent combo for "complete destruction."
 
why dont the Aguri guys just take your seats. lol
 
No it's ok I guess... I don't think either driver really wants a bum drive anyway... neither of them complained about it.

I was just concerned that you missed it

Just so you cant miss this:

SHEPHERD > WILLIAMS

HALLINAN > RED BULL

SCHWARZ > RED BULL

HAHAHA :sly:
