These are your coins to spend in the driver auction. Need to sort out how it's going to work so bear with me on that. Won't start tonight so don't worry about going offline. Hopefully can get a good amount done tomorrow, although I'm in London this weekend so might not have as much access as normal.

Thanks for playing.

 

[Spirederman]

Fantastic performance Kaaaaaahn.

Sub 500 miles out over 8 destinations is amazing.

Closest rival.... 6479 miles.

OWNED IT!!

Kournikova.... I also thought Bruges after I'd overruled JJ's Preston with Troyes, but the deadline had passed.

Glad we stuck with Troyes.

 

[last request]

Good second half there to overtake Tyson.

[TomPNE94]

Try googling 733 1111 and checking out the 3rd link.....

Fuck sake. I googled 733 4111

 

[Spirederman]

I Googled the number and food delivery ....

3rd result. Carel had already guessed Manila though. That just confirmed it.

 

[Rammy]

I reckon Carel just hacked Magic's computer.

 

[Spirederman]

MANG-INASAL......

I WANNA EAT THEIR TAKEAWAYS!!

 

[Magic]

These are the 20 drivers teams can try and purchase with their coins at the auction:

Lewis Hamilton
Nico Rosberg
Sebastian Vettel
Kimi Raikkonen
Daniel Ricciardo
Valtteri Bottas
Daniil Kvyat
Felipe Massa
Sergio Perez
Romain Grosjean
Nico Hulkenberg
Carlos Sainz
Max Verstappen
Pastor Maldonado
Fernando Alonso
Jenson Button
Felipe Nasr
Marcus Ericsson
Alexander Rossi
Will Stevens

(If any experts know if this is potentially wrong in any way let me know).

In groups of 5, these will be auctioned off in a blind auction. Using the coins earned last night, you may bid as many as you wish on each driver. These will be PMed to me. If you are the highest bidders then you purchase that driver for whatever your bid was (even if it may be comfortably the highest). Obviously you can refuse to bid on a particular driver.

After all drivers have been auctioned off, the teams are finalised. If nobody bids on a certain driver then no-one will be represented by them. There is no limit to the amount of drivers you can have. Those tactics are up to you. If there is a tie for the highest bid, a random number generator will be used to decide who gets the driver.

The scoring of the race is as follows:

1st - 20 points
2nd - 15 points
3rd - 12 points
4th - 10 points
5th - 9 points
6th - 8 points
7th - 7 points
8th - 6 points
9th - 5 points
10th - 4 points
11th - 3 points
12th - 2 points
13th - 1 point
14th and lower or DNF - 0 points

The drivers have randomly been split into 5 groups and the first of which is as follows:

Will Stevens
Daniil Kvyat
Daniel Ricciardo
Kimi Raikonnen
Felipe Massa

You have until 3pm to get your bids in for these drivers. I appreciate it's a Friday and people are busy but need to try get through this.

Kahn pull it out of the fire after a slightly hairy bidding process.
