Formula Rejects!

The place for anything and everything else to do with F1 history, different forms of motorsport, and all other randomness

Formula Rejects!

Postby Stramala » 14 Oct 2009, 09:13

So, we all know F1 will eventually go down the crapper. So I devised a replacement in advance...Formula Rejects!
Like F1, all teams are their own constructors, but with almost zero technical regulations!
So, who will be in the new series you ask? Read on...

F1 Rejects-Life
1. HWNSNBM (F1R-Life 01A) [F1Rejects.com/Life]
2. Roberto Moreno (F1R-Life 01B) [Tesco]
F1 Rejects-Life and HWNSNBM are crowned champions before the season even begins, thanks to the team also being the governing body, hence doing what they like and making themselves champions. The single Life W12 engine is put in the A-spec car, while Moreno is forced to use the B-spec car, essentially a rebadged Wanzl ST09 i.e. a Shopping Trolley with a Fire Extinguisher taped to it for propulsion.

Atom Motorsport
3. Eric van de Poele (AMR001-Lamborghini) [Red Bull/Sparco/AMD]
4. Alasdair Lindsay (AMR001-Lamborghini) [Red Bull/Sparco/AMD]
37. Bernd Schneider (AMR001-Lamborghini) [Sonax/Mobil 1/Bosch]
38. Allan Simonsen (AMR001-Lambroghini) [Saxo Bank/Lucozade]
The team who should have been champions, and are far and away the best team in FRejects despite their yearly budget being about £6.37. Some old Lambo V12 engines are found in a dumpster outside Gerard Larrousse's house and installed into the cars. Two cars added on just before season begins, for another reject, Bernd Schneider, and rookie Allan Simonsen.

Badoer Racing Team
5. Luca Badoer (LB210-Ferrari) [Parmalat/Agip]
6. Marc Gene (LB210-Ferrari) [Parmalat/Agip]
The two hapless ex-Minardi team-mates are brought together once again for Luca's own team. Despite the reject nature of the series, they are still left trundling around the back of the pack depsite a works Ferrari engine supply and endless amounts of cash avaliable.

Chanoch-Nissany
7. Chanoch (Chanoch Nissan 01) [Microsoft/Nissan]
8. Bill Gates (None) [Microsoft]
Chanoch realises his dream of a Nissany Nippony racing team in F1, and decides he wants to drive the car himself. Bill Gates is brought in as a "second driver" though never actually races, yet still pays the team for his "race seat".

Stefan Grand Prix
9. Milos Pavlovic (SGP001) [AMCO]
10. Nelson Piquet Jr. (SGP001) [Zepter]
Stefan GP gain entry to FRejects and sign the mediocre Pavlovic, and also Piquet depsite the obvious reasons. Though, rather suspiciously, Pavlovic wins 3 races in his debut seasons, all in races Piquet DNFed in due to crashes...

Pacific GP
11. Jean-Denis Deletraz (Pacific PR03) [Ursus/Elf]
12. Tazio Nuvor...ahem...Giovanni Lavaggi (Pacific PR03) [Ursus/Elf]
Pacific make their GP return with the usual suspects. Deletraz wins a race by default when everybody crashes out of the Swedish GP, run on the Hagfors SuperSpecial stage in thick snow.

EuroBrun
13. N/A (This seat is cursed...) [None]
14. Gregor Foitek (ER210-Cosworth) [Lehman Brothers]
EuroBrun return but only end up fielding one car, for the hopeless Gregor Foitek. Doomed to failure from the beginning, they only qualify for races because in FRejects, there is no limit to the amount of cars which can qualify.

Coloni-Subaru
15. Pedro Chaves (FC210-Subaru) [Subaru/OMP]
16. Naoki Hattori (FC210-Subaru) [Subaru/OMP]
Like a EuroBrun clone, but even slower with their rubbish Scooby boxer engine. Chaves finally starts a Grand Prix, but doesn't finish any. Nobody realises Hattori exists for most of the season until finally scoring a point late in the season.

Andrea Moda
17. Perry McCarthy (S101-Cosworth) [Sponsors? What Sponsors?]
18. Captain Pugwash (S101-Cosworth) [Its buried somewhere...]
McCarthy finally becomes lead driver and is actually allowed to qualify. No issues with a whining second driver this year though, as they hire the fictional Captain Pugwash as their other driver (not that the governing body care). But Sassetti gets in deep sh*t again and ends up in prison this time, after Capt. Pugwash turns him into the authorities for not letting him drive. So much for no whining second drivers eh?

Visa-Lola
19. Ricardo Rosset (Lola T10/30-Cosworth) [Visa]
20. Yannick Dalmas (Lola T10/30-Cosworth) [Visa/Gaulioses]
21. Marco Apicella (Lola T10/30-Cosworth) [Visa/ATS Euromaster]
22. Hideki Noda (Lola T10/30-Cosworth) [Visa/Tenoras]
Lola are so confident and rich with their new Visa sponsorship they hire 4 rejects! Rosset is nominated as team leader, and the other three are told to do "whatever the hell they like, it doesn't matter really" due to the fact their cars arent even designed symmetrically. Noda runs out of cash mid-season and Apicella amazingly gets sacked with 3 rounds to go for not making it past Turn 1 in any Grand Prix. They are replaced by Oliver Groulliard and Shinji Nakano respectively.

Super Aguri
23. Yuji Ide (SA10-Honda) [NGK/Super Happy Fun Fun Nippony]
24. Masami Kuwashima (SA10-Honda) [Marlboro]
25. Aguri Suzuki (SA10-Honda) [Espo/Unisys]
Super Aguri return with an all Japanese team. Ide is instructed by team boss and 3rd driver Aguri Suzuki to crash into everybody so him and Kuwashima can take a 1-2 finish. Though, it doesn't work, and Ide ends up taking out Piquet in the SGP car who was already crashing anyway.

Minardi-Cosworth
26. Gastón Mazzacane (PS10-Cosworth) [Telefonica/PSN/Repsol]
27. Tarso Marques (PS10-Cosworth) [Doimo/Mild Seven/LG]
28. Alex Yoong (PS10-Cosworth) [Asiatech/Petronas]
Paul Stoddart makes a comeback and revives 3 of his old drivers from the death-throes of motorsport. Mazzacane even wins a race! They end up 3rd in the Constructors, depsite Lola having 4 cars...

Bathplug the Safety Car Racing Team
29. Taki Inoue (BTSC1R-Ford) [Sasol/MTV]
30. "Quick" Nick Heidfeld (BTSC1R-Ford) [Trust/Sobranie]
Inoue and Heidfeld have only one mission this season: to take out the Safety Car. Both succeed on numerous occasions and halfway through the season, they successfuly get a rule implemented midway thru the season that gets them 10 points for every Safety & Medical car they crash/hit, whether with or without the car (cue Inoue not looking where he is going...) so they end up 4th in the constructors.

McLaren-Mercedes
31. Michael Andretti (MP4-25) [Marlboro]
32. Norberto Fontana (MP4-25) [Esso Ultron/PSN]
McLaren enter just for the hell of it, and of course appoint the #1 Lucky Bastard as team leader, Mikey Andretti. Norbert Haug goes a bit potty and tries to appoint himself as second driver, only to accidentaly enter Norberto Fontana instead. Hilarity ensues. Andretti still as sh*t as ever and wusses out to IndyCar with a round to go.

Race Calendar coming later today ;)

Oooh can I enter my own team? If so here it is:
MRT-Peugeot
33: Tonio Liuzzi (MRT001 Sponsored by Valvoline/QANTAS/JetStar)
34: Sebastien Bourdais (MRT001 Sponsored by Woolworths/Big W)
35: Patrick Friesacher (MRT001 Sponsored by Australian Air Express/BHP Billiton)
36: Daniel Melrose (MRT001 Sponsored by Solo/Fosters)

By far the most promising of the teams with a top notch driver lineup and a supurb chassis (Proven by the fact that Liuzzi scores 2 wins and Melrose 1 win on the 3 street circuits on the calender leading 1-2-3s in the process) but thanks to terrible reliabilty (Mostly the Gearbox) and a crappy Peugeot engine the team doesn't finish any other races

Edit: Edited team for a more reject flavour

QADBAK Sinister Foreign Investment Group Racing
36: Ernst Stavro Blofeld
37: Chancellor Palpatine
38: Dick Cheney

QADBAK is the richest team on the grid, as evidenced by their base of operations inside a hollowed-out volcano. They are the last team to arrive and the first to depart, but they have an unnaturally good run of success owing to severe - and oftentimes predictable - gearbox failures that only ever seem to happen to anyone in front of them.

So that's why my team always happens to get gearbox/engine failures

I was on the Autosport forums and some moron posted a massive conspiracy theory that since neither Max nor Bernie wanted McLaren to win either World Championship in 2007 because of the Stepney Affair, they somehow sabotaged Hamilton's gearbox, resulting in him drivng very slowly for thirty seconds wilst he had to reboot the software. This was supposedly done through the use of electromagnets that targeted the car's software. It was a complete fabrication from the start, because it overlooked the facts that a) it would be impossible to target a gearbox on a car moving at three hundred kilometres an hour, b) as soon as such a device was discharged, McLaren's telemetry would light up like a Christmas tree, c) a ranged device would have to emit an electromagnetic pulse, which would completely disable the car and turn it into a useless shell, d) Hamilton was already out of it when he went off at Reta Oposta on the first lap and e) nothing happened to Fernando Alonso. The only way that it could have feasibly worked was if electromagnets had been installed inside a sealed gearbox beforehand, but there was no way to do that without breaking the seal or without raising attention to oneself if you tried to slip them in during production. I simply adapted it as an idea for a story, in which a Formula One team is bought out by an unknown investor who has ties to the mafia, and they start sabotaging other cars to fix the race outcome and make millions with the bookmakers.

Nope. 2 of your drivers are not eligible for FRejects, coz they have won races in F1. In other words, it's a big fat DSQ on the results sheet for MRT.

Haha, this sounds like a great idea for a Grand Prix Manager 2 mod! The only problem is that GPM2 has a maximum of 13 teams and there's always two competition drivers, not one or three (one test driver is allowed, but he competes only if you swap him with a competition driver). If this idea gets enough support I might make a mod. ;)

Do that. Now. Screw 1989.

And kostas22 - brilliant idea well implemented. Nice to see Shinji getting the Lola seat, he'll obviously run rings around the opposition.

LOL! That's really hilarious, guys.

During Round 15 at the Monza Oval, all drivers who have previous oval race experience or know how US racing works will get disqualified for racing in the wrong direction, because in Monza, the oval consists of right-handers only.
“Mexico City is a better place to hold the (Mexican GP) than Cancun,” said Ecclestone. “In more or less any city around the world you could ask people ‘where is Mexico City?’ and they would say ‘Mexico’.”

Ooh! Ooh! I have a team!

BRM-Cosworth
39. Markus Winkelhock (BRM P201)

Carrying on the theme of zombie F1 teams is BRM, which has absolutely nothing to do with the old BRM team, other than the fact that they managed to acquire the last BRM ever run. Owned by an eccentric Arab businessman who has no clue at all when it comes to racing, the task of actually running the team falls to the businessman's 14-year old brother, who was an avid F1 fan. Markus Winkelhock was signed to the team solely on his heroic performance in the wet at the Nurburgring in 2007. The car constantly fails, and the team's initials are widely thought to actually represent 'Beyond Racing Mediocrity'.
Canon manager for the PMMF... I guess...

If the series can get BRM, then why not RAM as well? Aren't RAM even eligible to the site?

And Michael Andretti should enter the series running for his own team. His 2nd driver will be Giovanna Amati, which is a decision that is not liked by his team leader in IndyCars, because she's afraid that Mike would favour Formula Rejects over IndyCars.

Andretti even manages to take the Mercedes engine supply with him from McLaren, so that McLaren will have to rely on Peugeot engines and field the Peugeot replacement driver Philippe Alliot instead.

The Beijing circuit is the original plan isn't it. I can recall that they had to change circuit in the middle of the weekend so that cars could make that one hairpin.

They were just chicken. Cant make the corner? Boot the throttle and spin it round the turn! Just don't copt Pedro Lamy or Domenico Schiattarella while you're at it.

QADBAK is the richest team on the grid, as evidenced by their base of operations inside a hollowed-out volcano. They are the last team to arrive and the first to depart, but they have an unnaturally good run of success owing to severe - and oftentimes predictable - gearbox failures that only ever seem to happen to anyone in front of them.


Oh my goodness! None of them have even come remotely close to getting a superlicence. And the former Veep doesn't fit in the car!

As far as designers are considered, I'd like to see Enrique Scalabroni's 1-2-1-wheeled car - and I'd like Frank Dernie reprise his 1992 double-decker underbody design that raced for Ferrari at the hands of Alesi and Capelli.

Flavio Briatore somehow makes his way back onto the grid, but the four drivers he brings do not inspire confidence ...

NASCAR Rejects Fast Food FReject Racing Team
44. Jacques Villeneuve - NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow Chevy (KFC/7-UP)
45. Scott Speed - NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow Dodge (Burger King/Red Bull)
46. Sebastian Bourdais.- NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow Ford (McDonalds/Coca Cola)
47. Max Papis - NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow Toyota (Dominos Pizza/Pepsi Max)
TBC. Boris Said - NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow Chevy (Subway/Mountain Dew)

Team Principal: Michael Andretti
Chief Designer: Anyone who can design a good NASCAR
Chief Engineer: Chad Knaus
Chief Mechanic: Tim Brewer from the Craftsman Tech Garage
Hometrack(s): Daytona (oval)

PRESS RELEASE: Daytona USA, 18th October 2009
NASCAR has leaked details of a team to run in the 2010 Formula Rejects series, the official replacement for the failed A1GP World Cup Of Motorsports series. Four drivers have supposedly been confirmed for the team, all of them ex Formula One drivers and a fifth car to be driven by American NASCAR road course ace, Boris Said. With a limited supply of A1GP cars available, the NASCAR team will have to use the Car Of Tomorrow for the first few rounds of the series. The A1GP cars are expected to be ready by the Daytona round. Owner of the US A1GP team, Michael Andretti has come on-board to take the team principal role. Chad Knaus, crew chief for 3 times NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson, takes the role of chief engineer after being suspended for cheating in NASCAR again. Comments from the European press suggest this is a plan to get non-American drivers out of NASCAR. No one from NASCAR was available for comment.

The driver originally confirmed as driver of the #46, Nelson Piquet Jr, has allegedly signed for the Stefan Grand Prix team, causing the NASCAR team to find a replacement. Juan Pablo Montoya was the obvious choice, but didn't want to race in Formula Rejects. The manager, who shall not be named, blackmailed Montoya in to racing for NASCAR Rejects Fast Food FReject Racing Team(NRFFFRT). Montoya filed a lawsuit against NRFFFRT and won. NRFFFRT, however was still allowed to race in the series and have signed 4 time Champ Car series winner Sebastian Bourdais.

Phoenix Grand Prix
48. Enrique Bernoldi - Arrows A22 (Red Bull/Eurobet)
49. Jos Verstappen - Arrows A22 (Orange/Lost Boys/t-minus)
50. Paul Dumbrell - Prost AP04 (Autobarn/Toll)
51. Mark Skaife - Prost AP04 (Mobil 1/Toll)
Team Principal: Tom Walkinshaw
Commercial Manager: Tom Walkinshaw
Hometrack: Vanautu

Basically the same team that Tom Walkinshaw tried to start in 2002 which caused him to be banned from F1 but with a few minor differences. The driver lineup on the Arrows side is the same as 2001 whilst V8 Supercar drivers Paul Dumbrell and Mark Skaife, who have both raced for Walkinshaw's V8 Supercar team, are driving the old Prosts. Power comes from Asiatech engines, which are rebadged Peugeots, the same as the ones used in the MRT-Peugeot team, which "Uncle Tom" is also the commercial manager for. Financial backing comes from a dodgy investment company from Vanautu, which also runs the track there. At the Vanautu round, Phoenix scores a 1-2-3-4 result which prompts officials to investigate the result as race fixing, given that the team has been nowhere in the points all season. They are found to be guilty and are banned from Formula Rejects.

Both succeed on numerous occasions and halfway through the season, they successfuly get a rule implemented midway thru the season that gets them 10 points for every Safety & Medical car they crash/hit, whether with or without the car (cue Inoue not looking where he is going...) so they end up 4th in the constructors)


But as Inoue fails to hit the safety car, because it hits him everytime, they quickly promote Franz Engstler to the race seat.

That was the reason Heidfeld was there in the first place, to seek revenge for Inoue, but I guess we could add a 3rd car.

I believe that the ostensible computer problems that the individual is having could be attributed to its advertisement of a procedure that shouldn't have to be done for a loathsome and execrable mobile device.

In other words, the iPhone is a piece of bovine faecal matter. I hope I don't have to explain why in any more detail.
