How am I still driving when I already offered my seat not only once, but TWICE for a pay-driver?

Qualifying results up... Crazy!!!!

Chris Dagnall said:

Quite simply, we weren´t fast enough, but we have some relief as our main rivals for the title didn´t do that well. It´s not I´m writing off Foxdale, they have the fastest car, but they have to stop hosting those barbecue parties at their cars if they want to beat us.

That´s because you farted in your seat, then no pay driver want to seat there! :lol:

I hope there wasn't any follow-up to the fart(s)...

Lol, no.

Yay, Sunshine sucks based on quali results. I bet we both retire yet again.

by **the Masked Lapwing** » 02 Jul 2011, 08:14

Watkinson 5th, Davies 24th.
Scott 6th, Zimmer 19th.

How did that happen?

Shinji Zanmai wrote:Well prequalifying gave us some extra practice time and we hope that the extra data helps us to the end of the race. 11th and 12th is pretty bad but I told our drivers to save tyres and the engine. We have refused Shizuka's request to be replaced by a pay driver as he is doing a great job and although the credits a pay driver would bring would be good, we would prefer to have great drivers rather then mediocre ones.

Barii Mori wrote:Well done to my team mate, Nicolas Steele in his 13th, as he was just behind the Sunshines and ahead of the Dagnalls and Gillets. My drive was not so good but I had had set up issues all practice. After the race we will be in court for Day 2 of the trail of Lon Vs Kamaha as the F1RWRSC have repatedly ignored requests to handle the case internally.

Tony Gillet wrote:What can we say? The car wasn't good at all during qualifying, and we scored our worst quali results all year with 17th and 18th. Thomas and Aurelien were simply unable to heat the tyres properly, and that will probably cost the team dearly during the race, especially since we need more championship points in the fight against Dagnall. What? No we won't hire pay drivers! That's preposterous! Thomas and Aurelien are doing a brilliant job, and a pay driver would be too much of an unknown quantity. He could turn out to be like Ben Fleet, but he could also turn out to be like Vidal Reyna-Sanchez.

Thomas De Bock and Aurelien Moll were unavailable for comment.

I feel sorry for Ashley, coming so close to HRT's first win of the year, but a podium is still brilliant! I think though we'll have to concentrate on the constructors' championship, I think we're a bit far away from Mark to catch him.

The tiny Caribbean nation of Tropico is planning to host a F1RWRS round in the near future in addition to plans to enter a team in the series next year. The nation has experienced exponential growth in the past several years with the establishment of government owned companies Tropico enlatados producen and Cigado which has funded the half a million dollar construction costs of the new track, called Circuito del Caribe. El Presidenta was unavaliable for comment but he is said to be "very pleased with the latest development of our glorious nation."

Now, the challenge here is can anyone make a track that looks like that which is compatible with GP2?

So Ben Fleet retired late enough in the race to be counted as 7 laps down rather than retired? Is this Foxdale's first classification of the year? (Even though it is a lost win?) If so, then Foxdale is getting there! Just a little further...

Sammy Jones wrote:Wow what a superb win! A great result for the team after what's been a bit of a barren patch recently, it's really allowed us to get a comfortable cushion in 4th in the Constructors Championship, though I feel that the Drivers' title is probably out of reach for both myself and Kay at the moment. Spekaing of Kay, I'm gutted for him to have fallen at the last hurdle, a double podium would have been excellent, and he only just missed out on being classified in the points. Still, the 10 for the win will go a long way to myself and the team's championship, and it only serves to reinforce the fact that our car is fundamentally one of the best in the field. Naturally it has some reliability issues, but then almost every team on the grid is struggling one weekend or another so that's to be expected. Obviously today I was able to take advantage of some of that unreliability in others, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is another win and another great chapter in the Jones Racing story.

I'm also in a position to confirm that Castrol Jones Racing is in negotiations with a number of large companies with a view to securing a secondary major sponsorship deal for the upcoming 2014 season and beyond. In due course an announcement will be made when a deal is concluded.

It isn´t possible to change engines mid-season ...
I was thinking anyway to ditch Turbo engines, since they give a significant advantage, or introducing new limitations to these engines.

You have to feel for FAT and Foxdale, with both drivers leading the race only for parts to break. Is this the first GP we've had that there has not been an accident?

Shinji Zanmai wrote:It was a race to forget, both cars out far too early and both with the speed for a good result. Onto the next race...

Barii Mori wrote:Well I have mix feelings about the race, 2 points is good but Jones winning and then claiming he has one of the best cars leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Jones knows he only won as his car did not break down not because it is one of the best cars in the field as he puts it. I am sure that the F1RWRSC will look at the large number of failures due to gearboxes and make plans to fix this.

No, I do not feel betrayed by The Fox despite signing for three at the beginning of this season with a common project to make ArrowTech a frontrunner in mind. If he feels this is the right move for the team in order to reach this goal, then I trust him since he is in the best position to know what is best. What is relevant now is to prepare for next season and work on next year's car with the rest of the team.
