We should now discuss everything in this topic
I´m currently preparing everything related to 2014 chassis list, entries, calendar and everything else. It should all be ready really soon, but due to Wizzie and TMLW´s plans, and my own personal life, season should start around mid-december.
ATTENTION. TEAM OWNERS, PLEASE READ:
As there´s loads of interest to own a team in F1RWRS now, I beg every team owner to show up and say hi (except the very usual people like TMLW, Wizzie, Klon, SuperAguri, tommy, Phoenix, Andrea Moda... you know who you are) before I publish the chassis and engine list in a couple of days. Failing to do so will result in you losing your team and entry. This is a measure to ensure every team owner is really up for it and there´re no more "ghost" owners who never show up. Thanks for your understanding!

*** CHASSIS AND ENGINE LIST PUBLISHED IN PAGE 4; ACCOUNTING OVERVIEW IN PAGE 3. MARKET OPENED; NO ENTRIES AVAILABLE.
2014 SEASON RULES (Small updates over 2013 rules)
* Every new team starts with 1000 Credits. Every new team must purchase a chassis and engine. This is mandatory.
* Any given chassis will be available to ONE team. Any given engine will be available to TWO teams at a time.
* You can only change your chassis or engine at the END of the season. This is once you read this post, up to the start of pre-season testing. Your chassis and/or engine will be sold back to the manufacturer for HALF the price you paid for it, regardless of the updates you made. Reliability points are bought to your chassis (so you will keep the reliability points purchased when you buy a new engine), Engine power points are bought to your engine (So you will keep the extra Power until you sell your engine). Example: If you bought LIFE W12 Engine for 150 Credits, You sell it for 75, even if you bought extra power in the past. However, if the new engine you buy has 10000 reliability points instead of 16000, the reliability points bought in the past will still count.
* The credits you earn (see Prize System below) are only available at the end of the season, but you can update your car between the end of a race and the start of pre-qualifying of the next race. Credits you earn through PAY DRIVERS are available at the end of a 4 race cycle, so, if you start using a Pay Driver through rounds 2 to 5, you will have credits available at the end of round 4, and at the end of round 8.

UPDATES SYSTEM
CAR IMPROVEMENTS;
Reliability; Every 50 reliability points - 5 Credits
Engine Power; 1 BHP - 10 credits
Drivers -TEAM OWNER MUST SPECIFY TO WHICH DRIVER WILL BE APPLIED-:
Qualifying Performance; 20 points - 10 credits
Race Performance; 20 points - 10 credits
**** IMPORTANT: Drivers Consistency has been removed. From now on it will be a random ammount within a reasonable range and it will be updated every season.
Every driver will start with the same ammount of Performance Points, regardless of their past in the F1RWRS series (Updates bought in 2013 are of course kept for 2014 and on):
14000 points of Performance either for Qualifying or Race (Being 17000 the max. value)
From 1800 to 2500 points of Consistency (Randomly calculated every season)
PAY DRIVERS RULING: Every Pay Driver pays the team 20 Credits per Weekend. Pay Drivers can´t be upgraded, and their performance points are random (within a range of 13000 and 14500), they will tend to be a little bit more inconsistent than Race Drivers as well. A Pay Driver must earn at least 10 championship points within a season before it can be unlocked and upgraded to a Race Driver (The team owner can chose to upgrade the Pay Driver or keep it as a Pay Driver).
* Points System: 1991-2002 F1 System (10-6-4-3-2-1)
* NEW FROM 2015 ONWARDS: Now that we have two feeder series (F2RWRS and F3RWRS), a Super License requirement will be required for any new drivers joining the series once the 2014 season is finished. Eligible drivers for F1RWRS must have competed first in F1RWRS, F2RWRS or F3RWRS and is required;
A) To have finished in the top 10 overall in F2RWRS, or have scored at least one podium finish in F2RWRS or,
B) To have finished in the top 5 overall in F3RWRS, or have scored at least one win in F3RWRS or,
C) To have entered any of the F1RWRS 2014 events or,
D) To have qualified for a F1RWRS race in 2013, or to have scored a Top 5 finish in a F1RWRS race in the 2010 - 2012 period.
The team owner hiring a new driver will decide if it´s a Pay Driver or not.
