🏁 GPA Manager - S1 🏁
After the beta season, GPA returns for its first full outing, with a maximum of 18 spots available for the new campaign. There will be at least 4 spots available for new players. Returning players can keep their team spot from last season. Players changing teams will not get the bonus.
Basics
The game follows the GPRO calendar at every Friday race and gives all players the chance to compete on the same level.
> Each player starts with 1000 credits.
> You bid on car CCPs, driver skill and practice time. These add together and multiply to give you a score in both Qualifying and the Race.
> Unspent credits will carry forward to the next Race.
Team Focus
Team Leaders (the person occupying the first driver slot) must choose the team focus from the 5 listed below. Both maangers will get the same season starting bonus.
Driver (+25 skill boost for the season) - A better skilled driver will perform especially better in Qualifying and on a wet track.
R&D (+25 season boost to your choice of CCP - P, H or A) - A good Research and Design department yields a development advantage.
Staff (+25 minutes at every practice session) - A high skilled crew and technical team brings more efficiency and time on track for race setup.
Facilities (+0.25 season base multiplier boost) - Good facilities produce better performance overall, with a base of 0.75 in Qualify and Race.
Title sponsor (+500 credit financial boost) - More cash is always nice to have and bolsters your bidding power, especially at the season start.
Bidding
> The race form must be completed in FULL with your first submission for each race.
> All bids must be in integers. Minimum bid = 0. Tied bids will be separated by earliest submission.
> If you do not make a bid for a characteristic you won't win anything for it.
> On Thursday evening of each week I will post the top 5 bidders (not the amounts) of each category.
> Everyone who submitted a bid at this point will get a bonus of +200 added to their qualifying and race total.
> You'll be able to revise up your bids with a second submission before the deadline - lower bids are not permitted.
> If you make changes to your race options with your second submission you will lose the bonus.

CCPs
> Your car has 3 characteristic types just like GPRO - Power, Handling and Acceleration. You make a bid for each characteristic each race.
1st = 125 | 120 | 115 | 110 | 105 | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 | 80 | 75 | 65 | 65 | >=14th = 50
Each race you can choose to retain 40% of what you gained from one CCP that you earnt in the previous race, or, you can choose to retain 40% of the Driver Skill or Practice minutes won. You'll also keep 20% of the highest characteristic of those not already retained and will be added onto what you won in the current race. So, if you had won 80 Power CCPs in the previous race and chose to retain it, then earnt 90 Power CCPs in the next, your total will be 122 for that CCP. Lastly, you'll gain between 25-75 CCP from one chosen characteristic in testing.
Test CCP gain = 25 CCP + (credits spent * 0.02) - capped at 75.
Your CCPs are then multiplied to give an overall total for your car :
Your top characteristic will multiply by 2.5 in the dry or 2 in the wet.
Your 2nd characteristic will multiply by 2 in the dry or 1.6 in the wet.
Your 3rd characteristic will multiply by 1.5 in the dry or 1.2 in the wet.
If two characteristics equal the same value then they will multiply by the mean value (i.e 2.25, 1.75).
Driver Skill
Your Driver gets a score from this sum : 0.17 * (driver skill * number of corners) + 0.01 * (driver skill * average speed) * 1 (dry) * 1.2 (wet).
1st = 125 | 120 | 115 | 110 | 105 | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 | 80 | 75 | 65 | 65 | >=14th = 50
Practice setup
Your practice minutes are multiplied by a setup factor that returns a greater worth depending on circuit characteristics.
1st = 125 | 120 | 115 | 110 | 105 | 100 | 95 | 90 | 85 | 80 | 75 | 65 | 65 | >=14th = 50
Practice setup score = practice minutes x practice multiplier x1 (dry) or x1.2 (wet)
Practice multiplier = corners/lap length * 0.23 + tyre wear factor + acceleration factor + handling characteristic factor
Tyre wear Acceleration Handling
V. High 2 14+ 2 14+ 2
High 1.5 11-13 1.5 11-13 1.5
Medium 1 9-10 1 9-10 1

Each player has 1 of each dry compound on their roster at the season start. You choose one tyre for Qualifying and one for the Race. Qualifying performance depends on the track grip, while Race performance depends on the temperature of the race. Wet weather tyres are not part of your roster, but a free choice of the two are available in wet qualy/races which come with a cost of a downgrade or upgrade to your dry compounds. After the race your roster will update with the two unused tyres retained plus two tyres depending on those used in the previous race :
Extra Soft exchanged for Medium
Soft exchanged for Hard
Medium exchanged for Soft
Hard exchanged for Extra Soft
In Qualifying, Extra Soft and Soft tyres will exchange for +1 compound softer.
In the event of rain, players can choose from Monsoon or Rain tyres. They are then exchanged as follows :
Monsoon - The hardest tyre on your roster after the race is upgraded by +1 compound for each one used (i.e M > S).
Rain - The softest tyre on your roster after the race is downgraded by -1 compound for each one used. (i.e S > M).

Tyre Suppliers
Pipirelli is the default supplier for all managers. You can sign a contract with another supplier if you wish for an improved multiplier, but will come at a cost of some credits at each race. Suppliers get an additional boost of +0.25 within peak range. Contracts with suppliers other than Pipirelli must be posted in the thread by the end of the first Friday on the calendar.
All suppliers with exception of Pipirelli will supply a maximum of 5 customers as some do not have the operational means to handle a larger volume. Pipirelli however, as default supplier, have the capacity to supply any number of managers without a contract signed by the deadline.
Weather
Qualifying conditions = Dry or Wet as displayed in Q1 of the same race on GPRO.
Qualifying temperature = as displayed in Q1 of the same race on GPRO.
Race conditions = Dry or Wet as displayed in Q2/race start of the same race on GPRO.
Race temperature = as displayed in Q2/race start of the same race on GPRO.

Bumping this up and hoping to find some new blood to join the game. Renault and Red Bull are both looking for new managers to join them, so for now there will be just one extra new team spot, meaning a maximum of 8 teams. If the existing spots fill up then I may add a 9th team.
Team leaders are responsible for choosing the team focus (the manager in the first spot)...you can pm me your choice of focus whenever you like, it does not need to be made public - though you may want to make sure your team mate is aware of the focus so he can prepare better. The only thing that must be posted in the thread before the first race deadline is you tyre supplier choice.
Hope that makes sense :)

1st) Martin Irla
2nd) the bus driver

Confirm to complete team Jaguar 😀

You guys can change the name to Jaguar if you wanted? It is a valid option...up to you...maybe you prefer Ferrari :)

Managers in italics did not yet confirm.
Spots with no name in them may be filled.
|
|
|
|

Looks like some (potential) rain to contend with then in the first race qualifying session. If the spots fill up by end of Tuesday then we'll go ahead with Laguna Seca as the season opener. If not, I'll delay things a week further and we'll have the Montreal race instead. Nobody wants rain anyway, least not my amateur driver ;D

|

I shall confirm my likelihood of a badyear. :)
(that was a tyre choice btw...)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bumping up for new blood. There are 4 spots to fill...one at Red Bull, another at Renault and then a new team. Ideally would prefer to fill the 2 spots at Red Bull and Renault first, just in case we need to stick with 14 players like last season.

Some good news....
Laguna Seca will be the first race of the season.
That means the First Submission deadline is Thursday 23:59 CET and Final Submission deadline Saturday at 11:59 CET.
Tyre supplier choice for all players must be made by Friday. Those who don't make a choice will sign an automatic contract with Pipirelli.
Team leaders, please can you confirm by pm to me your choice of Team Focus. Don't forget, you may want to inform your team mate of this choice, or discuss it with him if you wanted.
There is still room for two more players to form a new team if there were to be any late signups. If not, we'll have 14 players same as last season.
