Has anybody played this before? I used to play it and have decided to start a new team.

I am now the manager of Hickspeed racing!

My Team Name is: Mental Racing

I´m in the Frentzen game as the others are unavailable at this time. Looks pretty cool so far but 300.000 bucks is quite rare money to get started.

MH Motorsports is also in

300.000 Pounds is not a lot, but it's only for one weekend and you can spent some more, because you have also got some reserve funds but not a lot, so if you spent too much, you will be bankrupt soon !!!

BaTracer is OK, but I always found it a little confusing.
I like the idea of this one because you can eventually build your own chassis,engines and sell them to other teams. When I played it before I was building my own engines for my race cars and had lots of sponsors. The ££ was rolling in.

I used to play batracer alot, I made the race replay convertor

In a private league I did I came 2nd two seasons in a row in the Honda (06 carset), then 2nd again in the McLaren a couple of seasons later.

Stopped playing because it all got a bit repetitive

I would have loved it even more, if you can negotiate real drivers, I mean other members of the game, like you would hire me as a driver and vice versa. But the current stage is really cool. Looking forward to the first race. I think i´m gonna loose. LOL

Well one of my drivers crashed and injured himself so he is out for 6 weeks the other nearly came last.

But I have a sponsor already! 40k per race, unfortunatly that 40k has been used for a replacement driver. Not soo good but it will keep the car on the track till my other driver is sorted.
