2008 V8SCFC: Entries and Driver Changes

[Antrodemus]

Team Entries & Changes:

Once you’ve picked your driving line-up, give your team a name, announce some sponsors, racing numbers, liveries, grid girls/guys, mascots, overseas technical partners and any other stuff you can think of, and of course your manufacturer of choice, then post here giving a detailed description of the copious quantities of hide your team will kick in the forthcoming season.

Hiring & Firing

As Team Owner/Manager, you are permitted to sack any or all of your drivers in the lead-up to a round, and replace them - so long as you don’t blow the salary cap or 4-driver limit.

To sack/hire someone, post in the Driver Changes thread expressing your disappointment in your ex-employee(s), and your hopes for your new driver(s). You will only be charged a driver change if your team is different at the next round, so there is scope to change your mind if need be. The deadline for making changes is the start of first practise.
However, you can only do this twice during the season.


Entries are open as of now, so start issuing those press releases!
Your team can be altered without penalty until Adelaide first practise.
Comments/suggestions/queries are more than welcome, either here or via PM.


May the Fords be with you (or against you as the case may be),

Rookie Team Hits V8 Supercars

Making their V8 debut this year is the much anticipated Archangel Motorsport. Though the team is yet to compete in any such motorsport series as the V8 Supercars, their performance in managing have been strong speculations in regards to the teams performance in other less prestigious events have been competable and as such there have been high expectations of similar results in the upcoming supercar season. "While it is technically true that we're new to this game," quotes the teams owner, "we feel that we have as good a chance as any other team to win the championship this year."
The team's long expected arrival to the V8 has not gone unnoticed, and although our reporters and photographers were not allowed to see inside the team garrage just yet, there are rumours that a concept artwork livery for a Ford BF Falcon in Coca-Cola colours was leaked to the media about half way through last years V8 season. When questioned about this image, the team owner made several attempts to change the subject, and made no confirmations regarding any sponsorship deals that the team had signed. "We're keeping that information under wraps as long as we can, but we can tell you that whatever the cars are painted to look like, the're going to look a damn sight better than any concept artwork!"
Regardless of this secretive nature, reliable sources have been able to verify that Archangel Motorsport will be running 2 BF Falcons in the upcoming season, than that these vehicles are to be driven by a couple of well known names in the V8 racing industry, Mark Winterbottm and Jason Bright.
