F2RWRS - The feeder category of the F1RWRS

[Wizzie]

Rhys is having a heart attack as we speak as I know for a fact he's already done qualifying for China

Seriously though I honestly don't know if Morgan's still eligable for the F3RWRS as Italy was his 10th race and TMLW has a habit of having absolutely no tolerance with his driver eligability laws and the only reason Swerts got the drive was Mr De Bock offered his services and I needed to keep the championship rolling before school started again.

[Wizzie]

Guess who just found a working copy of Brands Hatch for GP4?

[Phoenix]

OK, then explain me if the performance files are all identic, then why does my team have more engine failures than any other teams? Is it because of the drivers?

But, at any rate, I think, at this point corruption is secondary. I think dropping the equivalency formula would make the championship more interesting because the races are more predictable than at the other series.

Kremnicky:Scuderia Alitalia is an interesting proposal
after Andrej Kremnicky won the Grand Prix Italy gathered a considerable amount of praise for the style of which he returned to racing,saw him team owners Scuderia Alitalia myself Kremnicky admitted that the interview is an interesting proposition said-"
if you are interested in me, well I have to say that the proposal is really curious and interested jestemt with Manager to discuss the matter "

[Klon]

I feel the need to point out that everything Kay Lon says about any conspiracies is not to be taken seriously. I, the user klon, think everything here is fair and even it if weren't: Hanlon's Razor.

[AndreaModa]

The point Wizzie raises about the equivalency making it easier to calculate performance files is a valid one. I think we should keep it as it is, with one engine and one chassis in GP4 to keep it easy for Wizzie, but allow a bit of freedom for team owners to 'announce' engine suppliers, and to design their own chassis, even though it will have no effect on the performance of the cars. A bit like 2010-12 era F1RWRS. That way we can have Alitalia running their Lancia engines, Aston Martin having their own programme, etc but for Wizzie and GP4, everything remains the same.

Indeed. +1 from me.

Kremnicky enters formal negotiations with Scuderia Alitalia

As the 2014 season reaches its final stages, the driver market has finally kicked into action in the junior F2RWRS series, and the first big story of the silly season is actually rather serious.

Scuderia Jones Italia will be splitting at the end of the year into two seperate teams, with the Italian half already looking to sign up one driver for its 2015 campaign. Andrej Kremnicky won in his second race back in the series after his horrific shunt at the season opener in Istanbul, and after the Slovakian responded positively to rumours in the media regarding Alitalia acquiring his services, negotiations have said to have started between the two organisations.

The terms of the proposed deal are yet to be released to the public, however RWRS Report understands Scuderia Alitalia are looking to tie Kremnicky down to a multi-year deal, with a clause relating to promotion to F1RWRS.

Alitalia succeed in Kremnicky coup

Scuderia Alitalia have pulled off one of the signings of the season in F2RWRS, securing race winner Andrej Kremnicky on a multi-year contract from the 2015 season, which will also guarantee him an F1RWRS seat in the future.

"We are enthralled to have such a young talented driver as Andrej join our program," said team principal Alasdair Lindsay. "Some people in the paddock seem to think we aren't serious, but I think this signing proves that the right people know that we are a very professional outfit dedicated to winning."

"Andrej has shown enormous potential in the short time he has spent in F2RWRS, and we are extremely pleased he has chosen to contiune his rise through the motorsport ranks with us. We have every intention to see him move up to F1RWRS with us at some point in the future, and we are sure he will succeed when he moves up the final step in the ladder."

"However, for now, we will look ahead to 2015 with Andrej and try to mount a title challenge together. Our half-season this year will help us gain experience as a team and iron out any problems we have before aiming for the championship next year."

Lindsay however refused to comment on the future of current driver Marco Bizzarri, who is widely tipped to leave the team at the end of the season in favour of either Alessandro Lucarelli or Gianluigi Pazzini from F3RWRS.

[AndreaModa]

Bizzarri to Jones Racing?

Following the signing of Andrej Kremnicky by Scuderia Alitalia, it has emerged that Jones Racing are seeking to sign the Italian Marco Bizzarri as the second driver for their own team which will be formed for the 2015 season, to partner the already-signed Terry Hawkin.

Team owner Sammy Jones described Bizzarri as "someone with a lot of potential which hasn't been realised this year" and that in a Jones Racing car, Bizzarri "would have the opportunity to really prove himself in properly prepared machinery that will give him the best chance of race victories and success". It's no secret that Jones has been highly vocal about the perceived inadequacies of the Scuderia Alitalia-run side of the garage of the Scuderia Jones Italia team in the F2RWRS this year, and Jones feels that Bizzarri has been 'unfairly hampered in his efforts to make a name for himself in the series".

It's unclear though whether Bizzarri will make the move, or whether Jones will choose to employ another driver instead.

It seems that I am responsible for starting the 2015 Silly Season

[Klon]

Ha! The biggest signing of the silly season follows ... right now!

Kolles Goes To F2RWRS

Kay Lon who according to the official F2RWRS page has entered a team on the official waiting list, has signed an important yet surprising name for his operation. The daily business of Lon's team - one its entry has become official - is supposed to be run by former F1 team boss Colin Kolles.

"Yes, it's true - I was approached by Kay Lon and his personal sponsors. His offer was very intruiging, so I signed the deal," the German-Romanian confirmed the deal in an interview.

LOL that is the best you can do? We've had Andrea Sassetti as our COO for months now...and Zoran Stefanovic is running the Warsaw arm of our operation too. An ex-dentist is hardly worth headlines.

This shows how little you or Mr Kolles know! Scuderia Jones Italia will not exist by the time your pathetic little team come into existence! Instead you will have Scuderia Alitalia to deal with, with those goddamn pommie bastards finally out of the way, we can finally do well without them screwing everything up thinking they have some god given talent when they're really totally f***ing useless.

I honestly have no idea where you get that idea from. I've checked all the results and you've lost a grand total of three engines all year

Hydook press conference: we're looking for a new driver for 2015
Anton Bosevic, who is a racing driver and team principal in one person, wants to focus entirely on team management next season, and is looking for a replacement.
Bosevic stated that "after this season it became apparent that I cannot live up to my brother's skills when it comes to racing, but my management seems to be more promising".

Hydook team principal mentioned that "Johannes Rueckert - if he's willing to stay for another season - has a contract waiting for him", and shared high hopes for their F3RWRS development programme after they took over Ecurie Albertini: "F3RWRS is a great series with some promising drivers, like Tomo Kazama or Terry Hawkin, and hopefully our feeder team will help us find the next F2RWRS or even F1RWRS champion".

Bosevic also denied the rumors that Jose Ramon Carabantes wanted to take over Hydook for promotional purposes.
"Don't be ridiculous! Even if he offered me all the money in the world, I wouldn't let him own, let alone manage my team. I don't trust people with double chins."

[Stramala]

Mr Bosevic, I have heard you have a free seat going next year. I have some cash and I think I will be a nice fit for your team. Scuderia Alitalia team management has shuffled me to the bottom of their pile, and if Pazzini, Lucarelli or Crescenzi don't get promoted I think I may be out of a drive. So, I am offering my services to you, I want to negotiate a deal.

[eurobrun]

Jason Hamilton intends to stay at Holden Young Lions

[Warren Hughes]

Michael Cameron has something of a gentlemen's agreement with Simpson Motorsport to replace Michael Robertson if he moves on. However, he would be interested in the Hydook seat if that doesn't come off. He is currently leading the F3RWRS standings with 2 rounds remaining.

Robertson's joining MRT's junior team next year if my memory is correct with Macklin going to Simpson Motorsport's F1RWRS effort next year if that gets the go-ahead.

Whilst there remains an if anywhere in that sentence my previous post still stands . Although I concede that the likelihood of Cameron ending up at Simpson is high.

[Pointrox]

Molinaro to replace Bosevic at Indianapolis?
Enrico Molinaro will probably take Anton Bosevic's place in the season-ending Indianapolis 100. Italian driver currently drives for Scuderia Alitalia in F3RWRS, but rumor has it that he's negotiating a deal for 2015 to fill one of the seats in Hydook, and he will be given a shot at Indianapolis.

Apart from Molinaro, a few more drivers are supposedly in talks with Hydook about the 2015 drive, with the likes of Michael Cameron, Colin Peynirci and F3RWRS Academy protege, Macedonian Branko Ristic.

We tried to ask Anton Bosevic about the news, to no avail.

[Stramala]

I am glad someone is finally giving me a chance! I hope to finalise a deal for Indy very soon. It felt like I was going nowhere in that massive queue of drivers in Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra. By the way, did you see my hairstyle? Definitely the best on the grid. That must be worth something right?

[AndreaModa]

I'm sorry Kostas, but all those wiki pictures of your drivers are woeful!

F1RWRS Commission to open F2RWRS engine tender

The F1RWRS Commission has today backflipped on an earlier deicsion and decided to open an engine tender for two additional engine suppliers to the F2RWRS. While it was initially mooted that it would be open to all manufactuers, it was decided that the bidding process would only be open to manufactuers showing a keen interest in joining the series, namely Holden, Lancia and Aston Martin. While the exact conditions of the tender are yet to be released, one of the conditions is to be expected be that the manufacuters are to be expected to supply at least one of the new teams with engines. The winning manufactuers will be decided at a meeting at the F1RWRS World 800 in November.

[Stramala]

Lancia Automobili S.p.A. expresses interest in supplying engines in Formula 2 Reject World Race Series

Lancia is a manufacturer steeped in motorsport pedigree. Through the ages they have built such legendary machines as the iconic Stratos, the successful 037, the dominant Delta Integrale, and now, the spirit of rallying will be transferred to a new challenge for the brand - F2RWRS.

Lancia is already supplying a JTS V6 race-spec engine to Scuderia Alitalia in the Formula 3 Reject World Race Series, in an engine program developed in conjunction with Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A. and Magneti Marelli Motorsport S.p.A. However, Lancia will now tender their brand new restricted competition V8, in line with a new range of high-end motorsport products.

The all new 015 HEMI® V8 takes a classic design to new levels of modernity and efficiency. This allows us to charge less than our competitors while still offering top quality products with excellent power and reliability.

Lancia looks forward to co-operating with the Formula 1 Rejects World Race Series Commission throughout the engine tender process.

Dear Team Principals/CEOs/Other,

As part of the tender process for next year's F2RWRS, we would like to outline our long term strategy in the series to you, as to not leave any ambiguity regarding our plans for the sport.

Lancia engine supplies will be open to any team willing to pay a set fee per season (this is yet to be determined, but a price list will be available very soon), and included in the package is;

• 20% discount on season fee if Lancia logos are displayed prominently on all cars (with exceptions, see below)
• Engine R&D and Construction facilities in both Michigan, USA and Parma, Italia, for fast turnover and more localised delivery for foreign teams.
• Every team will be supplied with a small group of specialist engineers for race weekends and team factories, with expert knowledge in the 015 HEMI® V8
• Any engine which does not complete at least one full race distance due to component failure will be replaced by a fresh unit free of charge. Please note, this will not apply if the F2RWRS does not choose to impose an engine cap of at least 2 races per engine, or the engine is modified by team members other than pre-approved Lancia Automobili engineers.
• British or American teams who purchase a Lancia engine supply are requested to use the Chrysler branding on their cars, as Lancia models are branded as such in the aforementioned countries. However, all engines and components will be identical regardless what brand of engine is applied. British and American teams will receive a 20% discount if prominent Chrysler branding is applied to all cars.

Due to recently expanding our production facilities at both the Scuderia Lancia Alitalia S.p.A. factory in Parma,Italia and Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance LLC in Dundee, Michigan, we will be able to supply engines to up to eight teams on the F1RWRS grid. Teams are welcome to arrange appointments with our representatives to view and inspect both facilities (Wing E, Engine Manufacturing only in Parma for protection of Scuderia Alitalia chassis design and manufacture department) at any time. Contact details are attached on the seperate form.

Yours faithfully,

Mika Salonen,
Managing Director, Lancia Competizione Powertrain S.r.L.

Well this is all going to be pretty straightforward then, as last time I checked, there aren't any other members 'controlling' a large-scale car manufacturer!

Are Lancia much bigger than Holden?! OK, so Lancia are part of Fiat-Chrysler, but Holden are part of GM. And that's basically TMLW's territory.

I don't control a large-scale manufacturer, but I do own Gillet, which is now capable of making customer engines...

I would suggest three manufacturers, not two additional. If BMW want to continue being an engine supplier, they have to be voted in by the teams. Which I doubt will happen, as everybody hates BMW now

Plus, a GM V8 and Chrysler V8 allows for two engines but multiple brands. Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Vauxhall, Opel, Holden would all be brands of the same engine. Lancia, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, together as well.

despite that, Geely is interested in supplying engines too.

Not teams. Engine suppliers. To give a choice instead of BMW, we can have Lancia, Aston Martin, Holden, Gillet, etc.

The new teams are Jones Racing, MA Racing and This' Lotus Group effort.

For the record, Gillet and Audi have now both been included in consideration while, as awesome as it would be, Geely will NOT be considered for selection.
