The story behind your team

My Team - Draw The Button Motorsports - refers to my other great love beside motorsports - Curling!! Originally my team was based in North Carolina but a problem with "Toasters" forced us to move to the Great White North.

NSA does.

my team carpenter GP only had its first gran prix a few hours ago.Its an irish team and it got into the points

This has got to be the best thread on the forum.  Thanks for starting it Jaap.  Please keep them coming guys.

Without comparing with anyone else I can say I'm a huge F1 fanatic...loves the cars, follows the races and F1 is one of the vital signs for me and IGP is just the place where I can get more into the F1 world...and thats when my team "OV Racing" formed..Team is not good in thinking outside of the box strategy or in taking huge risks but Only advantage with my team is that its very united and able to present in most races....With good amount of experience I formed my 2nd team "OV Racing Xtended"......Our team motto is Push 3/5 ( Consistency is key - Stick to a competitive pace) with that kind of push we try to deliver some good results.

My team, Motorsport Developments are a British team based in Oxfordshire and are trying to make F1 safe but exciting. The team used to work with Scuderia Aaron but had a big falling out after 2 weeks and eventually created Motorsport Developments. They are in their 2nd league, 3rd season and are in pro. We sometimes have special team names like The Iceman F1 and Rosberg ain't Rubbish. We have won 1 drivers and 1 constructors 2 for both hopefully in a weeks or so time.The driver got spotted go karting and instantly jumped at the offer for racing at Motorsport Developments. The motto is 'Race until you die and for as long as you can.'

My team is called Wilson Racing. I base it on my last name like Mclaren, Ferrari, Sauber, Williams and maybe some others. I have Racing as it's what we would do and if the team was multi-sports then one would be racing for the top level, MotoGP etc. I like the way I name the team and shouldn't need to change it.

Of course you don't have to change it. It's a good name :)

Porst's Revenge GP

Mine is Parker Racing Team, typical for garagista's it is my last name, and we aggresively go after any technical advantage we can sneak in. I have reached a level where I can go after Killer drivers, and the dream is too win a full season of DC and TC with 2 Canadian drivers.

Great thread guys!

My team is simply named using parts of my childrens nicknames! After that the story gets interesting, well at least i think it does anyway!
My Driver, J.Taylor was spotted by my technical director on youtube drag racing Justin Bieber, and instantly we both spotted his natural talent and signed him up!!
We are an English speaking team based in Essex, and use Lakeside car park for testing. we are still very much in our infancy as a team, but have managed to sneak a couple of wins, with a podium at monaco in our first season another highlight.
We are financed primarily by the one and only Joey Essex, and staff are only hired on a basis of how white their teeth are. Pit crew mechanics HAVE to wear Burberry fireproof overalls, and our doctor and commercial manager have to be comfortable in stillettos and white skirts before contract negotiations even begin. Sponsorship income has increased by 40% since so seems to be working.

Nice livery. Livery is all that counts.

best background ever.

My team started of as JJB Racing.
Re-named to McLean Wonder Because I'm a Mclaren F1 fan, anyone that knows will think this is strange because I buy the new Ferrari shirt every year :D

You dont know the power of the dark side, son ....
Join me in the dark side of the Force
And together we will rule this Elite Tier as father and son...

Originally, I began my team with funds I got through my Yakuza connections in Japan, and was named as Blunions Tuned Pink S2000 Racing. In my 2nd season, I needed to move the offices closer to home, and I waved farewell to the Yakuza for the time being. I signed 7-Eleven as the title sponsor, thus renaming the team as Blunion & 7 Eleven Racing. Although that season the team won the Rookie tier championship, 7-Eleven chose not to extend our contract. We miss the free slurpees...

I decided this time to try to sign with a company that was smack dab in our hometown of Houston. Fortunately, I was able to score a deal with Enron for title sponsorship. The team was renamed to Blunions Formula Enron Racing. However the relationship was not delivering the most ideal PR, and was not renewed after 3 seasons together.

In the 6th season of the team, a contract was created with one of my home countries, Pakistan, securing 4 seasons of title sponsorship. The team shed its Enron colors and the cars and team outfits were to be fitted with the colors of Pakistan. The team was also renamed to Blunion and Pakistan A1GP Racing and we are currently extremely satisfied with this partnership, more so than any other partnership in the past because our cars look so good in white and green :,)

Ravenwest Motorsport is an American team based in the UK, using Donnington as its test track. The team was first created by a rich businessman's venture into lower tier sports car and open wheel racing and having experiencing success, the risky decision was made to move into higher level open wheelers. Ravenwest has currently not completed a full season, having joined it's first season in time for the last 4 races and miraculously achieved a podium in a backmarker car. Not satisfied with the result, development is pushed heavily for the next season, to the point that a few test drivers have been involved in fatal accidents while testing the developing car. Currently in 3rd in the 2nd season, Ravenwest is now a rising midfield team utterly devoted to achieving the best possible results and will not hesitate to utilize unscrupulous methods to do so. Anything less than the best possible result is punished heavily and can jeopardize one's well paid career at the team, and this has resulted in few employees with any emotional attachment to the team. Unfortunately, the team's harsh business practices and unsavory methods of gaining any sliver of advantage over their rivals, Ravenwest is seen by many as a team to avoid, leading to those who seek a position at the team to have questionable morals in their ambitious pursuit of fame and success. 

AEPRE Racing Unlimited, an affiliate of a football club AEPRE FC, was founded on July 2013 by a Thai manager and owner who usually uses the alias "pnr8555". The team's headquarters used to be based in Valencia, Spain and using Circuit Ricardo Tormo as their nearby development venue. The team during its early days, racing in the Australian Championship.

The first ever pair of drivers are Thai-based driver Khemkhaeng Suttikul, along with Jakub Oberhuber from Liechtenstein, who the team were forced to auto-sign due to the team and the manager's inexperience which waste them a lot of bids prior to the race. Before the team ran out of bids in their inagural race, they have signed Adrian Sanchez, followed by Vanya Goosens, but the manager immediately decided aganist both of them. They are expected to begin their journey as a racing team "885 Racing Unlimited" in the single-driver leagues Greek, then Ray Lewis, but both of them were not racing in the attendable times, so the manager decided aganist them afterwards.

The first team of staffs are fairly experienced. Kosma Dvorak from Czech Republic takes his position of technical director, Britishman Matthew Evans as chief designer, Matthew Wright as commercial director, and Russia-based Lucya Sudakov(a) takes her position as the team's doctor.

Until the manager himself managed to find a suitable league for himself, known as Australian Championship, which is now defunct. It is a daily racing league with 2 cars available per team, and racing at 75% of official race distance, the journey begins there. And Singapore is where it all started.

Suttikul and Oberhuber doesn't have a very convincing finish at the race. Oberhuber left the team after completing his auto-signed contract, and the young and inexperienced manager then decided to sack Suttikul. Now as he started to get himself learning, he then signed another Thai driver as the manager himself was Thai. Klahan Boonliang is the man, along with experienced and seemingly atrophying 27-year old Ben Hunt, were his partner.

Their journey really begins next season, where the manager start to keep learning about the designing process. Before the manager's 14th birthday, Boonliang discovered that the manager dropped him (and also his plan to drive with at least one Thai driver), and replaced him with Nils Vettel (who were inspired by Sebastian's booming performance in the bigger stages and decided to change his name in honor of him). The first (and real) serious season and competitive racing begins here.

In the first three races of the season, both drivers came close to points finishing, but not quite right yet. Until Bahrain, where the team decided to send the teamlist as "885 Racing Quxxn" in honor of a YouTube gamer Quxxn, who passed away tragicly a few weeks before that, as well as running a special livery. The race ended with both drivers achieving points finish for the first time in the team's history. 8th for Hunt, and 10th for Vettel.

That season however, were foreshadowed by Alec Chan's Hong Kong-based team Akatsuki Motorsports, who were apparently left the league a few races before the end of last season and returned in order to keep his performance levels. Apart from his drivers, German Luis Rosberg and Norwegian Matthias Tveit, the rest of the cars on the track were lapped at least once. From Spain onwards, the organizing committee then decided to play the national anthem of the 3rd-placed driver's and the team's nation as a compromise on the podium.

In the middle of the season, 885 were dropped off the team's name, remaining as Racing Unlimited.

The team's fortune were completely reversed in Italy, where the team are set in a 45%-developed car. Despite the manager getting fooled by the race information booklet that the tyre wear rate is low, and the manager decided to push both drivers hard while on soft tyres, the team achieved their first podium ever after fighting with Dragonborn's Portuguese driver Tiago Anderson, who had his name "glitched" and "mixed up". His teammate Hunt finishes in 5th place, marking the first real beginning for the team. Alec Chan didn't leap and hop the league for this season, he finished the season with a 100% record and moves up to Pro tier. However, in Abu Dhabi, Tveit may have won the race, but he lost his 100% 1-2 podium finishing record. Duck Racing Team's Bendiks Gabris finished 2nd, and Anderson in 3rd. It is also a debut race for the young American Liam Taylor, who replaced Hunt before the end of the season. Rosberg finished 6th in that race.

With one big obstacle left the Rookie tier with promotion, as well as all-female team V1 Rotate which consists of Swedish Viveka Lidstrom and Greek Christina Doxiadis, who finished 2nd in that season, AEPRE Football Club Group Plc., who currently owns and manages two football teams at that time, AEPRE FC, who just finished the season with a 25-1-0 record and runner-up in the Royal Rumble Cup, as well as 35 Tokens League participant AEPRE FC 35, who finishes in the promotion, has purchased Racing Unlimited's majority stake, before reunifying as AEPRE Racing Unlimited.

The racing finally gets real. It was a 2-way battle between Duck Racing Team and Dragonborn, it was the Dragon who managed to won the title that season and advances to Pro tier. This is one of the most successful season competiting in the Australian Championship. With a 55%-developed car, the team managed to complete the race with drivers finishing on the podium 12 times. The team also recorded their first ever win in their history, after a wet-weather race in Brazil left several managers and teams unattended on their intermediate tyres. Taylor and Vettel, who raced on their wet tyres, finished 1st and 2nd respectively, the rain may have eased in the later part of the race, the rest of the field switched to dry-weathered tyres, except for the all-Brazilian NJ Racing, who are now NJ CRG Team, of Paolo Ismael and Manuel Manuel, who remains in their intermediate tyres and unlapped Taylor, but with only a few laps remaining then, it was not enough for both to overtake AEPRE Racing Unlimited drivers and snatch the win in the declining rain. They were 3rd in that season and AEPRE Racing Unlimited promoted to Pro class for the first time.

They then decided to move to a one-car league, TheAfroLeague, with a much-populated Pro class. Both Vettel and Taylor were released after such a jubiliant season. Fernando Alonso were chosen the team's driver, they finished the season with five podium finishes, and then another one in the season afterwards. Following the agreement between AEPRE FC Group Plc and Caterham F1 Team, the team rename itself to AEPRE Caterham Racing, based in Putrajaya, Malaysia and testing at Kuala Lumpur's iconic Sepang International Circuit.

The team then decided to go on a hiatus, indefinite hiatus...

PART 2 WILL BE CONTINUED

The hiatus really begins in October 2013, where the client team Avicii were created for the rookie tier TheAfroLeague. The team finished 5th-6th in that Season.

PART 2

After two years of hiatus, AEPRE Racing Unlimited decided to return to the world of motorsport. As the funding were stopped long ago, the team returns with a -19M debt bill ahead of the headquarters. The team decided to enter administration while waiting for potential investors.

AEPRE FC Group Plc, which at that time the football club was struggling for competitve spirit and pace due to the new rules and regulations regarding the league draw, which has hurted several top teams in the world of football, as a one-off football club, Singapore Lions, to celebrate Singapore's 50th year of independence, so-called SG50, are being planned.

The fortune for restarting their path in motorsport has now been revived, a consortium of investors from the Middle East have arrived at the AEPRE FC Group Plc., headquarters. They provided the team with some necessary funds for the refoundation of the team. The team then decided to file the world motorsport's governing body a reset request.

Once the request was approved, the team were required to release all support staffs and employees, as well as demolishing any additional facilities built in Putrajaya and elsewhere. They were also allowed to start fresh once again in a 10% rookies' car with 1A model, but however, they were required to return to the rookie tier.

The team decided to immediately going ahead with renewing sponsorship contracts with their usual allies, such as iRacing or InsideSimRacing, renewed supplier contracts with Murk, Seashells and Bridgerock, and signed a British driver, Charlie Thompson.

They then decided to create their own racing league, East Asian Development League, aimed at East Asian participants. The league were to be called "SG50 League" due to Singapore race falling on their national day, the 9th of August, but due to the league not gaining enough attention, they decided to rename to a more attractive name.

They were racing, not really, in Australia, with only one car driving around the track like mad. Thompson claimed free 25 points.
