Right, anything else you want to add is up to you, but those are the necessary components.
What's the name of your team? |

I remember I picked my team out months ago...
Wait a minute while I look for where I put my list... Okay! There it is! I pick the Players team of Villeneuve, Tracy, and Tagliani. My chassis will be Lola, my engines Judd. But now that I've thought about it, maybe I'll wait before making any formal announcements. |

My sponsor will be Catalonia (just like in Oriol's old cars) and my pitbabe will be German actress Franka Potente. She's much more than a pitbabe and she has an appropiate surname. (For the non-Italian or Spanish, "potente" means "powerful") |

Team Tanalised has retained the services of Patrick Carpentier and is auditioning for a second driver now that former pilot Scott Dixon has disappeared for a season to run in circles.
More to come |

Minardi Project:CART
Well,thanks to our new stash of cash,we now can field a CART team in the fantasy league.-PS We aren't in the mood to discuss drivers,but one of them is most likely to be *shudders* Alex Yoong. Of course,we have Bridgestone tyres and Cosworth engines (Hey,our F1 team has Cosworths!) and we are signing Reynard to be our chassis.-PS Our colors will be Green,Black,and Red, and our sponsors will be European Aviaton.-PS |

Well, two of Crooks Motorsport's drivers are now EARLing, so there will be an all new driver line up for 2003, Who exactly we don't know as yet, but I think we will dump the high risk/different drivers, I think we will go for more mainstream drivers, with at least one driving for Team Players...thats all i can say for now.
Who am I again? Head Dude |

Mon-Toyota Racing will need a new name and 2 new drivers. Contract negotiations are still underway, but rest assured that we'll be on the grid for St Pete's. Not sure how much it'll cost to fly to Russia though. -

THE RULES
1. Each Team Principal must choose two pilots, one chassis, and a name for his or her team, and post it on the IndyCar Forum, ideally before the Champ Car season starts, but entries will be accepted all season. Each Team Principal may race only one team. Each team may name a Press Officer (spin-doctor) for the purpose of bragging, apologizing or making excuse, as circumstances warrant. The best Press Releases will be published, but all may be posted on the Forum at any time. Teams may also name a Primary Sponsor and Pit Babe (male or female). Other team officials may also be named but will not be listed on the Team's official Grid Certification. 2. Points will be awarded the same as in the Champ Car races themselves, which is for finishing first to twelfth and an extra point for Pole on each day points are awarded. In addition: 1. One "hard charger" point will be awarded for each place made up on the grid from the position your pilot qualified in (as long as he finishes the race). 2. One point will be awarded to a team if both cars finish in the top five. 3. The first car to retire will lose one point 4. Two points will be lost if both cars or both pilots retire. Five points will be lost if the two cars on a team retire due to the pilots hitting each other. 5. Ten points will be awarded if your pilot wins the Championship. Points for the current race and Standings to Date will be tabulated following each Champ Car race, and posted on the CWS forum. AMENDMENT NO. 1 1. Teams will be allowed to name a third pilot if they wish, provided they can obtain funding. 2. However, if all three pilots finish the race, only the top two finishing pilots on a team will be counted for points in any race. That is, if your pilots finish first, third and fifth, the two finishing first and third will be counted. (This is a change from last season, when some confusion ensued as to what was precisely meant by "top two finishers.") 3. Should all three pilots on a team retire, seven points shall be deducted. 4. Should all three pilots on a Team finish on the podium, five points shall be awarded. 5. There shall be no extra allowance for handbags or headache potions for teams electing to run three pilots. AMENDMENT NO. 2 1. Suggestions will be considered regarding whether or not to give points for Nations Cup finishes. 2. All Changes in Pilot and Chassis for each team must be completed by February 20, 2003. This will enable the Race Commissioner to get the spreadsheets finished before the season starts. Any teams added after the season begins will be permitted no changes in any points paying positions. |

February 20th is the deadline I'd like to see, just for record keeping purposes, but entries will be accepted all season as they were last year. The advantage to signing up early is that you can make changes in your team til Feb. 20th in case someone signs on that you like better than the guy you chose originally. People who sign up after the season starts can't change their teams.
Anything y'all would like to add for this year in the way of rules or flourishes? |

Once a pilot is taken by a Fantasy team, can another team use his services in the Fantasy League also?

Mad Cow Racing will once again be fielding two cars, hopefully three or possibly eight if the funding comes through in the 2003 Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car world..you get the idea.... We are currently courting drivers Michael Schumacher and Colin McRae. Failing that, we'll likely just hire whoever has the best looking girlfriend so that they can stand around our pits, and hopefully get us on TV every now and then!
Expect an announcement, followed more announcements this week, and the following weeks. |

Arrows S-Racing Tests Champ Car Drivers
SEBRING - January 19, 2003 - Newly formed Arrows S-Racing was today testing candidates for the two car team that will contest the 2003 Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford. Roberto Moreno drove 100 laps in a Reynard-Cosworth around the Sebring circuit. He was joined by Pedro de la Rosa and Jimmy Vasser. Announced at a press conference in Brisbane last week, Arrows S-Racing is a collaboration between Australian entrapeneur, Scott Russell, and the remnants of the now defunct Formula One team, Arrows. Tom Walkinshaw has no involvement in project. ASRR will run a pair of Ford powered Reynards for two as yet un-decided drivers. A third car will be run if funding is available. Sponsorship dollars are expected to come from Ford Australia, XXXX and other Australia companies. Team Principle Scott Russell said that "We have not yet decided who will drive for us, but we do have a shortlist of three or four drivers. Sadly who can bring the most sponsorship may have the final word." Jean-Denis Deletraz, Taki Inoue, Gianni Laviaggi and Alex Yoong will be testing tomorrow. Initial selections for the squads lead grid girl will take place tomorrow. Last edited by DNQ; 19 Jan 2003 at 12:33. |
