[FICA][B-Spec] 2016 Formula One World Championship--Bahrain GP on 10 April

In a surprising twist, GPI Motorsport has transferred ownership and operations of the team to American team Perl-Speed GP. Perl-Speed GP will now assume operations of the squad's F1 effort. While the team will change names, the driver line-up and sponsorships will all remain the same, with the American squad also borrowing the GPI Motorsport base of operations in Europe for the F1 team, with technical assistance being provided by GPI. Honda has been informed of the change and will remain the engine supplier for the team.
...Was not expecting that.

So @BKGlover will be mine and @Michelin's reserve, now we just need one for @DurWinning & @The Bman, who wants to join them (And vicariously me and @Michelin) in the Team Upton Family?
@Whitetail ?
 
Any chances of an actual template for the car (please :nervous: )? I tried the one from the resource files and I have no idea what is what...

You have to download the render scene to find it.
 
With the recent news that Swift Autosport would be joining the Formula 1 World Championship. The team had to find sponsors to support the team for the entire 2016 season. The team has managed to find 5 sponsors. Below is the logo and explication of how each came about to the team.

Pakistani International Airlines made the decision to join the team for 2016 shortly after learning Pakistani driver Mohammad Ahmed would be a reserve driver for the team. They will be the teams 2nd biggest investor.

swift.....part of this won't fly. Go to the OP and read the bit saying 'Paint Scheme Expectations'.

@Angel @KuniKino****a the above few post lead me to questions for y'all. Firstly, there are three wire frames in the template, each goes on a different in-game chassis, but are we using all three or just one? If it's the first, then do we have the option of which to use? If it's the second, which of the three is the mandated one?
 
R.T. Corsa will be having a press conference from their Swiss base at 4:30pm Central Time (why Central Time you ask? #USbaseddrivers). Expect questions reqarding sponsorship for the up coming season to be answered. See you then!

There are three options, and you may use any of the three.

Pirelli won't fly since tire manufacturer is Bridgestone.
 
To clarify, since people are afraid to read back a page, there are three chassis options, and teams can choose whatever they want. Both cars have to be the same chassis option however. The three chassis are Dallara, Lola, and Matra.
 
The end of the season, as expected, will end in North America, with the final three races being in Canada, Mexico, and the United States respectively. It's rumored that the United States Grand Prix will be hosted at the Circuit of the Americas, whereas the only feasible track for Mexico is the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Canada remains up in the air, as the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Edmonton Street Circuit, and Toronto Street Circuit bid for the race.
 
Please be Edmonton, please be Edmonton!

Also, no chance of a street circuit in America to finish it off?
No to the question on an American street circuit.

Also, this is important. All cars are to be in by January 31st, 2016. If a team fails to meet that deadline, the team will be dropped, and will not be replaced or allowed reentry. Plain and simple.

Sorry, I did look back a few times but I didn't catch anything pertaining to it.

EDIT: Which one's which?

Hmm. I like it. Fits the F1 canon.

Oh how lovely this is going to be. Just like old times, only, not as A-Spec oriented.
