The story behind your team

My team is Finnish and I have an Estonian driver who is my lover also! Though she was underaged, when we met.. Hand of the law doesn't yet count, though our relationship is strictly virtual and happens only in Internet. We are going for our first championship together and our goal is at bigger races. My team which is sponsored by Finnish fishstick company and named by it's brand and team is made for my girl, cause she loves driving and has thirst for victory, obviously.. :D She is a great driver too and I give her the best car available.

So romantic..... ;)

Peeters Scania F1, or simply PSF1 has been in F1 for almost 6 years. When they started they bought over Red Bull racing because they found some bacteria in the drink and it was banned, leaven the company to go bankrupt. That left Peeters, a small transporting company in the netherlands with the oppertunity of his lifetime. He bought the team, and a few races later he bought Toro rosso as well, witch is now called Peeters Scania youth. After a year of racing and good results, Scania came along and wanted to be a supplier/sponsor. 

Since then they invested not only in the main teams in F1, but they got 1 GP2 team, called Peeters Development and 2 GP3 teams, both simply called PSF1 Youth.

It's an english speaking team with the base in Sweden, next to the Scania factory. They use a part of the Scania factory for development of the parts, and the engine witch is supplied by Scania. 

In 108 races Peeters Scania F1 scored 31 wins, 68 podiums, 2 team and 2 drivers championships. The team was ranked 17th HoF when the owner decided to take a break from the game, there are rumours the team is returning to the British Racing League tomorrow. 

the team even became only the 3rd team ever to get the win in the first race they participated in the Elite of BRL.

Once upon a time there was a spoiled girl who got whatever she wanted. One day she went to her father who owned a big company and said: "Daddy I want new shoes! Oh. And a formula one racing team too!" The father considered her request and after deliberating for a short time he decided it was better to give her the team.

Thus Regal Racing was born! Obviously it's too much work for her to run the company herself so she hired other people to do the work for her. Since Regal Racing is doing quite well the girl is able to brag about her team. 

CGD Nocturne F1 started out as 3SRacing, a small Norwegian team based outside of the Rudskogen circuit with Marcos da Silva as its only driver.After undergoing a takeover, it was renamed SCM Minardi before the Italian GP in the first season, where the team took its first ever win.

After multiple name changes, it is now running as CGD Nocturne F1, sponsored by Portuguese bank Caixa Geral de Depositos and is registered as a Gibraltarian team, although based in Cumbernauld, Scotland.

The team have currently got former World Champion and Hungarian Imre Bindics and Austrian multiple race winner David König as drivers. They are currently running a junior team as well, which is called Equipa Maçudo and is based in Portugal.

SkyFire Project (http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-profile/14667) was an iniciative, born to give young and talented women the opportunity to show their male counterparts that they're equally capable of getting high archievements inside the competitive and merciless world of motorsports. Encouraged to become one of the best iGP racing teams in history, SkyFire has attended 74 races and archieved 16 wins, 38 pódiums, 16 pole positions, 18 fastest laps, 1077 points, 1 Drivers Championship and 1 Constructors Championship this far.

Motivated by the good results shown in its first seasons, a satellite team was created to support SkyFire. Bits and Bytes Engineering (http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-profile/15493), named this way alluding the high-tech used in the team (actually I'm a huge fan of computers and technology, lol XD) was born as a result; even though not as successful as its parent "scuderia", Bits and Bytes will continue walking the stairway to victory. Also with an all-female lineup, B&B has joined the grid 63 times, with 3 wins, 18 podiums, 6 pole positions, 0 fastest laps and 0 championships until this day.

(And for those who ask why only female drivers I'll tell you: Yes, I'm a man; and no, I'm not gay. Just wanted to be original, XD).

Hehe, a woman-only team.

I remember playing World of Warcraft and there where, apart from the 'Dutch-only' country guilds, also 'Dwarfs-only' guild.

Loving this topic btw :) So much fun to read.

TimeIs Racing is the first (to my knowledge) Nigerian Motorsport Team ever. Our cars are all made from old Peugeot 504s, VW Rabbit bits and baked bean tins.

We have two Belgian drivers who were kidnapped from a yacht that strayed a bit to close to the coast near Lagos. They were not really proffessionals, but they HAD SEEN a racing circuit before so were infinately more qualified than anyone else in the country. They took some convincing at first, but after we found them some lovely wives and got them addicted to the local tv soap operas they were happy to stay.

The team's sole aim and reason for existing is to beat their bitter colonialist rivals SetzPulses Racing (mentioned previously in this thread) whose team principle is the sworn enemy (and real life fiancee) of me. Hence the teams motto - "If you can't beat them, Join them" or "If they wont let you join them, beat them"

Thats really a funny story behind your team Derin....enjoyed reading it :)

There are some really funny things here.

Mine is rather boring in comparison. I am Edwin James Smith......hence the EJ.

The technical motorsport bit comes from my father who started bike racing after his national service in the early 1950's.

He had been a mechanic in the RAF, working on everything from motorcycles to early jet engines & spitfires. He started doing trials & some scrambling (now called MotoX), but got into some 2 stroke development with a friend from the RAF, (who's name I cannot remember. I will ask my mother) & went racing around Europe.

This was in stark contrast with his day job as an accountant with British European Airways, (Later merged with the British Overseas Airways Corporation to form British Airways).

Most of the racing then took place on closed public roads & there were a lot of fatalities. Despite racing on the most fearsome tracks, including the Isle of Man TT, the Dutch TT & the Nurburgring he managed to survive. He knew a lot of the famous riders from that era, in particular Geoff Duke, 6 times World Champion, who still sends my mother a Christmas card.

The TM bit, comes from the van he bought with the friend who's name I cannot remember. A lack of funds meant it had seen better days, but both being mechanics it ran reliably. It had been a bakers van previously & had sign writing on the side 'TM Bakeries'. They painted over the 'bakeries' bit, but left the TM. My mother says this was because they ran out of paint & couldn't afford to buy any more, but the name stuck & so they were Technical Motorsport.

My team is Force Britannia ( http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-profile/13291) . The team was originally based in sunny blighty but moved to the Caymans for financial reasons. The team is mostly English speaking but have all learnt Esperanto as the main form of communication.

lol joel - :D

The Blue Cow team came about after a ‘disagreement’ in the field with another coloured ruminant which was dominating the herd. There were some ‘catty’ comments and fiddling of the books so we decided to go it alone and live the fantasy.  Jumping over moon sized obstacles, including sacking a (very dishy - in the words of one reporter) technical director caught explaining the meaning spoons to a rookie driver, along the way.  The dog just laughed when he was found out.
Initially all we had was a small box of Lego bricks but from small beginnings a whole vehicle was built.  Unfortunately the drivers are still as plastic as the supermodels who follow them, it often proving difficult to determine which has the most silicon filling.  But we have great hopes once the next box of Technic bricks arrives (as well as a tube of glue) which will hopefully stop our cars falling to pieces every time the driver slams the door.

ps - look at my team logo if you are confused about the references in the first paragraph

The name of my team "Evno Racing" comes from a name I made in school when I was younger. The real aim is to win a drivers and constructor championship at some point but that will take time. I've won 7 gp's and have finished second in the championship for the last 3 seasons two of them have been in the pro league. Only 3 people race though. The story of Evno Racing in a nutshell :)

MusterBuster Racing is a disruptive, innovative team entering the fray. 

Lead by CEO Michael S. and COO Lieutenan Dan (he's got new legs), the team hopes to utterly shock the traditional approach to iGP by telling all their partners that they're the worst company ever, slating suppliers at every given opportunity and spontaneously firing staff after "lower than expected" race results. The team hopes that the high staff turnover and "death letter" corporate relationships will bring a "fresh" attitude to racing at iGP. In a rather odd approach to employee diversity, the team only ever hires women to its staff - with the sole exception being senior management. 

Lieutenan Dan, COO (pictured below) had this to say at a recent press conference covering the team's plans for 2014:

"Basically, yeah, we're just gonna tell everyone they're rubbish at what they do and see what happens. If we hit moral rock bottom, we can only go upwards, right?
....
...you're crap at interviews, by the way"

Michael S, CEO, also commented on MusterBuster Racing's 2014 plans:

"GIRAFFES!"

Despite outside accusations of utter incompetence, MusterBuster racing is holding steady 4th in the third season of LOTUS F1 Rookie League and seems to be set for promotion when the season ends in 2 weeks time.

My team "Executor F1 team" has over 200 races under its belt and won about 60 races nearly. The team was first based in Australia where we managed to win our first championship by 1 point. But then the team principal was deported back to his home country, Mauritius, because of lack of funds. But that did not stop us from winning 3 more championships. Even though we have poor communication here, i.e still using analog antennas on the driver helmet, we still pulled out some good performances. We are now in the Elite tier but the road was not easy to get there. But we like the challenge and we like the competition. 

We now also have a smaller team, "Executor F1 Team Jr", but apparently because of better experience, is much more richer than the new team and have been more successful much more quickly. Not a lot of wins yet but we are getting there. Our driver academy also is striving. We currently are training 2 new young talents but theres is only place for 1 of them. Anyway we are a team who wants to win more...

I wish I had a story behind my team but I really don't. The name comes from my nickname (Dox) from another game I play called Quake Live. I have a similar gameplay style to one of the Quake Live pro players called Tox aka Toxjq. Thus, people started calling me Doxjq. It's pretty stupid but when I joined iGP I had no intentions of taking the game seriously (I only joined because my friend James was bugging me for weeks to start playing so I basically just joined to humor him) so I didn't think of any kind of serious name for my team. But after I started playing I was hooked and people knew me as Doxjq, so I stuck with it ever since.

Team SixthStar is an American based F1 team with two goals in mind: To promote F1 in the states and to be seen as a competitive force. The team consist of personnel with high prospects from around the world with the knowledge that gaining a position at Team SixthStar is a position well earned. Team's motto "Celeritate est Vita" or "Speed is Life" summarizes the manager's foundational philosophy on life.

The name "SixthStar" came to me in a dream about 14 years ago and has been used in various games through my life. It has no official meaning.

Best wishes to all teams at iGP!

Not really a story either, but one interesting thing I can add about almost all of my "second" teams is that the manager names are all anagrams for various things.

The Unions was purchased at bankruptcy auction after its previous owners lost $768 million on a single high-stakes bet one weekend that Danica Patrick would finish a NASCAR race in the top 15.

Said owners built the original team off of door-to-door Girl Scout cookie sales and ghostwriting soccer-mom S&M erotica on weekends. The team principals first met in a leper colony in Mozambique and decided to go racing because they both thought the idea of "racing their asses off" was hilarious because eventually that's literally what they would do.

The new owners of The Unions hail from Tokyo, Japan, and built their financial empire on selling cosplay outfits for Sailor Moon parties (hence, the corporate holding company's name, "Super Extravagant Miniskirts, Electric Nipple Clamps,  and Adult Retail Pigtails, Inc.," and I think we'd all agree that "The Unions" is a much more family-friendly team name than SEMENCARP).

The team's rallying cry is "YOGURTS ACCOMPLISHED." Nobody really knows why.
