F3K 1990 Bids

09:36	BasedRNG	Before we begin the juicy shit, we'll get a few easy ones out of the way
09:36	kevinbotz	Even alt-tabbing's pretty much a one-way ticket to a CTD. :L
09:36	BasedRNG	Jorg Scrattenheim signs with the lead DAMS car
09:37	BasedRNG	But his wage gets bumped up to the minimum 65k
09:37		*** Normal32 joined #F1Rejects
09:37	BasedRNG	FYI, if we get to Rafaele Modena, he'll get the same treatment
09:37	BasedRNG	Josephine Aarseth signs with the lead FIRST car
09:37	BasedRNG	Obviously
09:38	BasedRNG	Now, lets get a few with only one bid out of the way
09:38	BasedRNG	First up is John Jones
09:39	BasedRNG	The Canadian has spent two years putting in a rather solid body of work in IndyCar, but has recieved an offer from Bromley to make the trip across the Atlantic
09:39	BasedRNG	He doesn't have any offers stateside to consider, but he is somewhat hesitant about having to bring a budget to the team
09:39	BasedRNG	1-70 Scrounges up whatever he can find
09:40	BasedRNG	71-100 Decides it's not worth the risk
09:40	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
09:40	BasedRNG	4!
09:40	BasedRNG	He figures pretty quickly that with nothing else on the table, he'll sign with Bromley
09:40	BasedRNG	Given his track record in IndyCar, he'll be a tier 2 driver
09:41	BasedRNG	I'll RNG the amounts later
09:42	BasedRNG	Next up is Emanuele Naspetti
09:43	BasedRNG	After an abortive campaign with Onyx, the Italian driver has a vendetta against the world
09:43	BasedRNG	He has a sole offer from CoBRa, but he needs to bring a budget to the table
09:44	BasedRNG	Agip are believed to be backing him now, so it won't be as much of an issue, but he's also tempted to hold out for a better offer elsewhere
09:44	BasedRNG	He's mindful that CoBRa are a good team though
09:44	BasedRNG	1-80 CoBRa
09:44	BasedRNG	81-100 waits for a paying role elsewhere
09:44	BasedRNG	RNG says...
09:44	BasedRNG	50!
09:44	kevinbotz	Nice.
09:44	RealRacingRoots	yesssss
09:44	BasedRNG	Naspetti signs with CoBRa
09:45	BasedRNG	His sponsorship amount won't be RNGed, as we'll cross that bridge at a later date
09:45	RealRacingRoots	hehe
09:45	BasedRNG	Oh, narmol, I'm gonna need you to save logs if you can
09:45	BasedRNG	I've got a big case of the ceebs at the moment
09:46	Biscione	F3K RNG? did IBR bag or miss any drivers atm?
09:46	BasedRNG	I've only done two drivers so far
09:46	BasedRNG	Your guys will be a bit later on
09:46	BasedRNG	Next up is Masonari Sekiya
09:47	BasedRNG	The Japanese driver has been putting in a highly impressive body of work in the last few years in All-Japan F3000, and FIRST have taken notice
09:47	BasedRNG	They want him to help pay the bills, with Mugen is more than happy to accommodate
09:47	BasedRNG	1-95 FIRST
09:48	BasedRNG	96-100 Focuses on Japan
09:48	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
09:48	BasedRNG	63!
09:48	BasedRNG	FIRST complete their lineup for 1990
09:49	BasedRNG	Julian Bailey is next
09:49	BasedRNG	GA have contacted him about driving their second car for the upcoming season
09:50	BasedRNG	Again, he's been asked to bring a budget
09:51	BasedRNG	However, he has a very cushy factory Nissan World Sportscar gig to fall back on, so he's not all that keen about returning to open wheelers
09:51	BasedRNG	1-20 accepts as is
09:51	BasedRNG	21-50 demands to be paid before accepting
09:51	BasedRNG	51-100 declines the offer
09:51	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
09:51	BasedRNG	45!
09:51	BasedRNG	He'll consider driving for GA, on the condition they pay him for it
09:52	BasedRNG	Jean-Marc Gounon is next
09:53	BasedRNG	Fresh off winning last year's French Formula Three title, Keith Wiggans has put in a request to have him drive for the team in 1990
09:54	BasedRNG	Again, he's been asked to bring a budget but given the surplus of Gauloises money floating around, that won't be an issue
09:55	Wazzle	Fack de Lelstra
09:55	Wazzle	Anyway
09:55		*** Wazzle is now known as BasedRNG
09:55	BasedRNG	Where was I up to?
09:57	kevinbotz	Gounon.
09:57	BasedRNG	Ah yes
09:57	BasedRNG	1-90 brings that sweet French Tobacco money to Pacific
09:57	BasedRNG	91-100 shops his wares elsewhere
09:57	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
09:57	BasedRNG	75!
09:57	BasedRNG	Pacific it is
09:58		*** kevinbotz quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
09:59	BasedRNG	Now we move on to the first real prickly one of the day
09:59		*** kevinbotz joined #F1Rejects
09:59		+++ ChanServ has given op to kevinbotz
09:59	BasedRNG	Namely, a certain M. Schumacher
09:59	ElBerto	Mick?
10:00	BasedRNG	He's received two big-money offers from Spirit and Apomatox, on the back of a spirited three-way duel between the three Mercedes juniors of himself, Frentzen and Wendlinger
10:01	BasedRNG	However, despite taking it to his older stablemates, Mercedes are hesitant to throw him into high-powered cars so early into the piece
10:02	BasedRNG	A part-time contract would be more palatable to them however to focus mainly on a second year in German F3
10:02	BasedRNG	Of the two, they'd much rather race with Apomatox, what is effectively the former Oreca team
10:03	BasedRNG	1-5 Spirit full-time
10:03	BasedRNG	6-15 Spirit part-time
10:03	BasedRNG	16-25 Apomatox full-time
10:03	kevinbotz	Oh, Jesus.
10:03	BasedRNG	26-50 Apomatox part-time
10:03	BasedRNG	51-100 focus on German F3 & World Sportscars
10:03	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:04	BasedRNG	39!
10:04	BasedRNG	They'll allow Schumacher to race with Apomatox, but only on dates that don't clash with German F3 or WSC committments
10:05	BasedRNG	With that, it moves us on to Paul Tracy

10:06	BasedRNG	The Thrill from West Hill has had two middling years in the American equivalent of Formula 3000, but has two offers from Spirit and DAMS
10:06	BasedRNG	With rumours however that Roger Penske might be knocking on the door in the near future, he has little interest in crossing the Atlantic
10:06	BasedRNG	1-5 Spirit
10:06	BasedRNG	6-15 DAMS

10:07	RealRacingRoots	and also a cameo in the littlest hobo
10:08		*** Biscione quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
10:09	BasedRNG	We now move on to Mika Hakkinen
10:09	BasedRNG	Despite the fact he has had a single F3 season where he failed to set the world alight, he's received no fewer than four offers from midfield teams heading into 1990
10:10	BasedRNG	Spirit, Pacific, Forti and Bromley have all put similar offers on the table for their lead cars
10:10	BasedRNG	However, his manager feels its far too early for him to consider such high-powered cars as of yet
10:10	RealRacingRoots	haaaaaaaaaaaaaah
10:11	BasedRNG	Again, they might find a part-time drive more palatable though, to focus on British F3
10:11	BasedRNG	Given the complexity of this, the RNG will be run in two parts
10:11	BasedRNG	Firstly to determine whether he'll run in F3000 at all
10:11	BasedRNG	And the second for which team, if we get that far
10:12	BasedRNG	1-10 full-time F3K campaign
10:12	BasedRNG	11-30 part-time F3K campaign with dates that don't clash with British F3
10:12	BasedRNG	31-100 focuses on F3 only
10:12	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:12	BasedRNG	33!
10:12	BasedRNG	They thought about it long and hard, but in the end decided to wait another season
10:13	kevinbotz	So, Spirit's now down to just Irvine and Morbidelli.
10:14	BasedRNG	We'll figure out that mess in a minute
10:14	BasedRNG	As we now go to Alessandro Zanardi
10:15	BasedRNG	The Italian was one of the standouts of the second half of 1990, and has been rewarded with three offers
10:15	BasedRNG	One for series runner-ups Il Barone Rampante
10:15	BasedRNG	One for newcomers Paul Stewart Racing
10:15	BasedRNG	And one for EJR, but he'll be waiting for other drivers first
10:16	BasedRNG	Given the well-known turmoil of Eddie Jordan's mob, plus the fact it's paying significantly less means he has little interest in going there
10:16	BasedRNG	IBR are heavy favourites to sign him
10:16	BasedRNG	1-65 IBR
10:17	BasedRNG	66-95 PSR
10:17	BasedRNG	96-100 waits for EJR for some reason
10:17	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:17	BasedRNG	59!
10:17	BasedRNG	He was nearly swayed by Paul Stewart, but he decides in the end to lead IBR's 1990 campaign
10:19	BasedRNG	We'll now move on to who was the first priority for that EJR seat
10:19	BasedRNG	Johnny Herbert
10:20	BasedRNG	Apart from an offer to stay at EJR, he also has a offer from Forti and a reserve offer from Paul Stewart
10:20	BasedRNG	He knows full well about the struggles of EJR, but he knows he'll get preferential treatment with the Irish squad, despite Forti paying slightly more
10:20	BasedRNG	PSR is an interesting offer that he's considering as well though, but EJR will be the slight favourites here
10:21	BasedRNG	1-45 EJR
10:21	BasedRNG	46-75 Forti
10:21	BasedRNG	76-100 waits for Paul Stewart
10:21	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:21	BasedRNG	50!
10:21	BasedRNG	Herbert turns his back on Eddie Jordan and defects to Forti!
10:21	RealRacingRoots	lmaooo
10:22	Mr_Klon	Top 10 anine betrayals?
10:23	kevinbotz	Well, EJR's a pretty terrible place to be, at the moment.
10:23	kevinbotz	The entire team has just $84,700 to its name.
10:24	BasedRNG	We now move on to Damon Hill
10:24	BasedRNG	He had three offers on the table, but there's only one that he cares about
10:25	BasedRNG	The lead driver roll at Onyx
10:25	BasedRNG	After several years slaving away in the midfield, Onyx are willing to pay him the big bucks to lead the team
10:25	BasedRNG	And he's eager to jump at the chance
10:25	BasedRNG	1-90 Onyx
10:25	BasedRNG	91-100 waits for offers elsewhere
10:25	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:25		--- Petoli is away (Auto away)
10:25	BasedRNG	78!
10:25	BasedRNG	Damon Hill signs with Onyx
10:28	BasedRNG	We now move on to Karl Wendlinger
10:29	BasedRNG	The German F3 champ is more than ready to make the step up, and Pacific are willing to make that happen
10:29	Mr_Klon	https://gprejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=390607#p390607
10:29	Mr_Klon	Four entries left, grab 'em whilst they are hot
10:30	BasedRNG	He also has an offer from Apomatox, but the despite the fact they're the former Oreca squad, he'd rather not wait
10:30	BasedRNG	1-65 Pacific
10:30	BasedRNG	66-95 Waits for Apomatox
10:30	kevinbotz	Well, if Macau's in...
10:30	BasedRNG	96-100 waits for any other offers
10:30	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:30	RealRacingRoots
10:30	BasedRNG	48!
10:30	BasedRNG	Pacific it is for Wendlinger
10:32	BasedRNG	It also means he'll now miss the Brno round of WTCM this year
10:33	kevinbotz	https://gprejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8291&p=390625#p390625
10:33	kevinbotz	We've now got a Pearl River Delta rivalry, boys.
10:34	Mr_Klon	3 entries left
10:34	Mr_Klon	rootsy, wazzle, here's your chance
10:34		*** Petoli quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
10:34	RealRacingRoots	i'm good eh
10:35	BasedRNG	Next up is Allan McNish
10:35	BasedRNG	After having to pay his way in last year, he's managed to find offers for people willing to pay for his services
10:35	Mr_Klon	but you could be Chad
10:35	BasedRNG	He has four active offers on the table
10:36	BasedRNG	From Paul Stewart, EJR, Bromley and Onyx
10:36	Mr_Klon	or hide some money on the Cayman Islands
10:36	RealRacingRoots	I don't want to be Chad from Accounting
10:36	Mr_Klon	then you can be American Samoa
10:37	Mr_Klon	it's like a nation full of Ramen Reigns
10:37	BasedRNG	Actually, wait
10:37	BasedRNG	We'll do Eddie Irvine first
10:37	BasedRNG	The Ulsterman was somewhat overshadowed by Alex Zanardi's heroics last year, but he still put in several respectable performances
10:37	BasedRNG	He now has three offers to consider
10:37	BasedRNG	The lead drive for Spirit
10:38	BasedRNG	The lead seat for Paul Stewart
10:38	BasedRNG	Or the second seat for Apomatox
10:38	BasedRNG	Under normal circumstances, Apomatox would be the clear favourite
10:38	BasedRNG	But he's facing the prospect of having to share the seat with Schumacher
10:38	kevinbotz	A prelude for things to come.
10:39	BasedRNG	Therefore, he's leaning more towards the other two seats
10:39	Mr_Klon	wazzle, you wanna have a go as Pakistan or Bangladesh
10:39	BasedRNG	1-40 Paul Stewart
10:39	BasedRNG	And sure, give me Bangladesh
10:39	BasedRNG	41-70 Apomatox, but demands the seat full-time
10:39	kevinbotz	The AFC's now stacked.
10:40	BasedRNG	71-85 Apomatox, but acquiesces to the possibility of sharing with Schumacher
10:40	BasedRNG	86-100 Spirit
10:40	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:40	BasedRNG	27!
10:40	BasedRNG	Paul Stewart it is
10:40	BasedRNG	This now takes us to Gianni Morbidelli
10:40	BasedRNG	He had an offer from Forti, but that required a budget
10:41	BasedRNG	But all his Christmases have come at once
10:41	Mr_Klon	so two more managers needed
10:41	BasedRNG	Because he now has Spirit knocking on the door willing to pay him a pretty penny for his services
10:41	BasedRNG	1-90 Spirit
10:41	BasedRNG	91-100 goes elsewhere
10:41	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:41	BasedRNG	78
10:41	BasedRNG	He decides to go with the safe option and signs for Spirit
10:43	BasedRNG	We now go back to Allan McNish
10:43	BasedRNG	With his two preferred options of PSR and IBR gone, he now has three options to choose from
10:43	BasedRNG	Either go for the lead EJR and Bromley seats
10:43	BasedRNG	Or wait to see what Onyx does with Frentzen
10:44	BasedRNG	Given the way the market sits, he's undecided about what is a worse fate
10:44	BasedRNG	1-30 Bromley
10:44	BasedRNG	31-60 EJR
10:44	BasedRNG	61-80 waits for Onyx
10:44	BasedRNG	81-100 waits for other offers
10:44	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:44	BasedRNG	31!
10:45	BasedRNG	Eddie Jordan manages to nab him from Bromley right at the death!
10:45	Normal32	https://gprejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8291&p=390627#p390627
10:46	BasedRNG	This neatly leads us to Derek Higgins
10:46	kevinbotz	We've got a fight to the death between Normal and AcesCalifornia for Macau.
10:46	Mr_Klon	I am afraid Macao is already taken
10:46	BasedRNG	With the possibility of a EJR seat now gone, the sole offer he has left is the lead GA seat
10:46	BasedRNG	Signing will be a mere formality at this stage
10:46	BasedRNG	1-95 GA
10:47	Normal32	ah shit
10:47	Mr_Klon	but you can have Afghanistan
10:47	BasedRNG	96-100 stays with British F3000
10:47	BasedRNG	RNG rolls 22
10:47	Mr_Klon	or, if you want to stick with the theme of Portugese colony, you can have Sao Tome und Principe
10:48	BasedRNG	Next up is Eric van de Poele
10:48	kevinbotz	Angola is also an option.
10:48	BasedRNG	He originally started with five offers from various teams
10:48	BasedRNG	But he's now down to two
10:48	BasedRNG	The option to stay with DAMS for another season
10:48	BasedRNG	Or to move up to Apomatox
10:48	kevinbotz	And whatever the German transliteration for Mozambique, is.
10:48	Normal32	kevinbotz, I was just about to say that
10:49	BasedRNG	Given the rumours that DAMS might be in trouble for the upcoming season, he's keenly interested in the Apomatox offer
10:49	Mr_Klon	it's actually Mosambik
10:49	BasedRNG	1-80 goes to Apomatox
10:49	kevinbotz	Ah, "Mosambik".
10:49	BasedRNG	81-100 stays with DAMS
10:49	Normal32	either them or Eritrea
10:49	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:49	BasedRNG	39
10:49	kevinbotz	And, darn, it's just outside the bottom 125.
10:49	BasedRNG	EVDP is off to Apomatox
10:49	Mr_Klon
10:50	Mr_Klon
10:50	BasedRNG	We now move on to Heinz-Harald Frentzen
10:50	kevinbotz	Huh.
10:50	Normal32	https://gprejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8291&p=390627#p390627
10:50	Normal32	there we go
10:50	Normal32	it's quite funny too
10:50	BasedRNG	The third of the Mercedes juniors has a sole offer from Onyx, now that the possibility of Apomatox has come off the table
10:51	Normal32	I thought Angola wasn't gonna be available
10:51	kevinbotz	So, "jungfern" is German for virgin, I take it?
10:51	Mr_Klon	yep
10:51	Normal32	given the fact I always have in my mind the fact they qualified for the WC
10:51	BasedRNG	Given the amount of money they've thrown at him and not wanting to be left behind by Wendlinger and Schumacher, HHF is desperate to step up
10:51	Normal32	... that one time
10:51	BasedRNG	1-90 Onyx
10:51	BasedRNG	91-100 World Sportscars
10:51	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:51	BasedRNG	69
10:52	ElBerto	Giggidy
10:52	RealRacingRoots	nice
10:52	BasedRNG	Frentzen completes the Onyx lineup for 1990
10:52	BasedRNG	As their wage bill comes in at a groovy 245k
10:53	kevinbotz	:|
10:53	BasedRNG	Next to step up to the plate is Jon Beekhuis
10:53	Normal32	and fuck, Namibia's just outside of it too
10:53	BasedRNG	One of the heroes of 1989 has three offers for 1990
10:53	BasedRNG	He can either stay with Madgwick
10:54	BasedRNG	Go to Bromley
10:54	BasedRNG	Or go to IBR
10:54	BasedRNG	Bromley are paying less than the other two teams, so it's only a measure of last resort
10:54	BasedRNG	But the Swiss driver is torn between showing loyalty and being the undisputed lead at Madgwick
10:55	BasedRNG	Or going to IBR and potentially being second-fiddle to Zanardi
10:55	BasedRNG	But in the end, Madgwicks will go in it as favourites to keep him
10:55	BasedRNG	1-60 Madgwick
10:55	BasedRNG	61-95 IBR
10:55	BasedRNG	96-100 Bromley
10:55	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:55	BasedRNG	85!
10:55	BasedRNG	It was a tough decision, but Beekhuis packs up his bags and heads off to Italy!
10:57	BasedRNG	This moves Rickard Rydell up to the gunsights of Madgwick
10:57	BasedRNG	He's been asked to bring a budget however
10:57	kevinbotz	He has?
10:57	BasedRNG	Oh, wait
10:57	BasedRNG	I've noted it down wrong
10:58	BasedRNG	There we go
10:58	kevinbotz
10:58	BasedRNG	Now that that's fixed, it'll be a mere formality for him to return to F3K
10:58	BasedRNG	1-95 Madgewick
10:58	BasedRNG	96-100 Touring cars
10:58	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
10:58	BasedRNG	41
10:59	kevinbotz	And now Lehto, brimming with vodka and vinegar, should now be open.
10:59	BasedRNG	This now opens up two new drivers to step up to the RNG merrygoround
10:59	BasedRNG	First up is Didier Artzet
10:59	BasedRNG	With the possibility of staying at Madgwick now gone, he now has to find a budget
10:59	BasedRNG	To either go to PSR or EJR
11:00	BasedRNG	1-40 finds the budget for PSR
11:00	BasedRNG	41-70 finds the budget for EJR
11:00	BasedRNG	71-100 fails to find money
11:00	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:00	BasedRNG	74!
11:00	BasedRNG	Unfortunately for our French cult hero, he can't bring money to the table at the moment, but is open as a free agent later in proceedings
11:01	BasedRNG	But before we get to the second driver in question, lets make a pitstop in Brazil
11:01	BasedRNG	Wilson Fittipaldi's nephew Christian has been quietly waiting to see how things panned out
11:02	BasedRNG	He has a single offer from Paul Stewart remaining, but he needs to find a budget
11:02	BasedRNG	Given his family name and pedigree, this shouldn't be too hard a task
11:02	BasedRNG	However, could his inexperience play a part in turning down such an offer?
11:02	BasedRNG	1-40 finds the money for PSR full-time
11:02	BasedRNG	41-100 stays in Formula 3
11:03	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:03	BasedRNG	6
11:03	BasedRNG	CFitty completes the PSR lineup
11:03	kevinbotz	That was unequivocal.
11:04	BasedRNG	We now move on to the salt mines of Finland
11:05	kevinbotz
11:05	kevinbotz
11:05	BasedRNG	Where we find one Jyrki Juhani Järvilehto, also known as JJ Letho
11:05	BasedRNG	He feels hard done by the F3K fraternity in recent years, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get into the field
11:05	BasedRNG	CoBRa have given him the opportunity to do it
11:06	BasedRNG	But he's gonna need to bring at least some money to the table to do it
11:06	kevinbotz	Yes, JJ, let the hate flow through you.
11:06	BasedRNG	But given JJ's state, he could also ask for a salary out of spite
11:06	BasedRNG	1-65 Fuck Yes (Brings money)
11:07	BasedRNG	66-95 Fuck No (Demands money)
11:07	BasedRNG	96-100 Fuck You (Goes to WSC)

11:08	BasedRNG	i.e. 49
11:08	kevinbotz
11:08	RealRacingRoots	fuck yaaaa
11:10	BasedRNG	We now move on to Antonio Tamburini
11:10	BasedRNG	Forti have asked him to bring cash money to the table, which again should be a mere formality
11:10	BasedRNG	1-95 Forti
11:11	BasedRNG	96-100 No monies
11:11	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:11	BasedRNG	60
11:12	BasedRNG	We now move on to Aguri Suzuki
11:12	BasedRNG	His money is in high demand, with three offers from Spirit, GA and Madgewick
11:13	BasedRNG	Given the uncertainty around Bailey however, he is tempted to sit this round out to see what happens
11:13	BasedRNG	1-30 signs with Spirit
11:13	BasedRNG	31-70 waits for Madgwick
11:13	BasedRNG	71-95 waits for GA
11:13	BasedRNG	96-100 waits to see what happens
11:14	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:14	BasedRNG	64
11:14	BasedRNG	He'll wait to see what Madgwick does with the second seat
11:15	BasedRNG	But first we'll go back to Bromley
11:15	BasedRNG	With Hitoshi Ogawa
11:15	BasedRNG	He's got an offer to lead the team for 1990, and will be getting paid to do it
11:15	BasedRNG	Again, a mere formality here
11:15	BasedRNG	1-95 Bromley
11:15	BasedRNG	96-100 AJF3K
11:15	BasedRNG	RNG rolls 48
11:16	BasedRNG	Now back to the Madgwick situation
11:17	BasedRNG	Their priority was Ukyo Katayama
11:17	BasedRNG	But they'll have to fight EJR and Spirit for him
11:17	BasedRNG	But they'll be the favourites for him
11:17	BasedRNG	1-55 Madgewick
11:17	BasedRNG	56-80 EJR
11:17	BasedRNG	81-100 Spirit
11:17	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:17	BasedRNG	46!
11:17	BasedRNG	Katayama signs with Madgwick
11:18	BasedRNG	Which means we now go back to Aguri Suzuki
11:18	BasedRNG	With Madgwick now gone, he has two options
11:18	BasedRNG	Either go with Spirit
11:18	BasedRNG	Or wait for GA
11:19	BasedRNG	Given what he's just seen, he's starting to value security right about now
11:19	BasedRNG	1-65 Spirit
11:19	BasedRNG	66-95 waits for GA
11:19	BasedRNG	96-100 AJF3K
11:19	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:19	BasedRNG	60!
11:19	BasedRNG	Suzuki completes the Spirit lineup
11:20	BasedRNG	Thomas Danielsson is up next
11:21	BasedRNG	After a difficult year at Bromley, he's surprised to get the call from GA to stay in Formula 3000
11:21	BasedRNG	Grateful for the opportunity, he'll do whatever it takes budget wise to secure the role
11:21	BasedRNG	1-90 GA
11:21	BasedRNG	91-100 can't find the budget
11:21	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:21	BasedRNG	84
11:21	BasedRNG	It's a close-run thing, but Danielsson accepts, conditional to what happens with Bailey
11:23	BasedRNG	This leaves us with just two seats left to fill in this first round of RNGs
11:23	BasedRNG	First off is the second DAMS seat
11:23	BasedRNG	Fabrizio Barbazza is the man under the spotlight, and is going to be paid to take up the role
11:23	BasedRNG	Given this is his best option to make it to F1, he has little hesitation to signing it
11:23	BasedRNG	1-95 DAMS
11:23	BasedRNG	96-100 IndyCar
11:23	BasedRNG	RNG rolls...
11:23	BasedRNG	28
11:24	BasedRNG	The last is the second EJR ride
11:25	BasedRNG	Andrea Montermini is the first man they've approached
11:25	BasedRNG	Having seen so many seats disappear over the past few weeks, Andrea is desperate to stay in the sport
11:26	BasedRNG	He's been asked to bring a budget by Eddie Jordan, which he'll attempt to gather
11:26	BasedRNG	1-80 finds the money
11:26	BasedRNG	81-100 fails
11:26	BasedRNG	RNG rolls 47
11:26	BasedRNG	And with that, the first round RNGs has been brought to a close
