Nae, I postulate you for World Champion of Realism, along with Fernando Alonso.
myF1dream: I don't know but, can you use this forum to explain what's all about?
For example, the crux of the issue is people (and thus, money). What's the bussiness plan? Who are the organizers working with? And, over all, if you're the one running the site, how in heaven did you find this thread so quickly?
You can count on me, of course. I'm pretty good with roads (or so I think). NO one, but no one except me should have the prestigious and exalted role of "Chief Road Modeler" at your team.
I think that (without delving into the site!
):
a. Funds should be given toward the team, just to fund it. Selling merchandise could not be the way.
b. Funds should be held by some kind of third party with impeccable reputation.
c. Fans should receive something in return for their money: their name on the livery, for example or a lottery to drive the car, whatever.
d. Maybe it's better to do it by stages. What about a kart championship, in first place?
e. Engineers should come from colleges. That would make it interesting (and it would catch some news time, if successful)
f. The most news-worthy thing could be to held some kind of championship to get the driving positions: I suggest you pick the kart champions in the "lowest" series around the world, that is, KF4, Formula 100 or Rotax.
We're talking what? Two-three hundred millions? That's a lot of money, even if the site gets enough fans.
I think it's doable, but it has to get the fame of "
one red paperclip" or something similar. Heck, I bet Bernie would help, if it gives him some good comments...
