F3RWRS - Yet another feeder series

[This]

Oh yeah, stupid me, sorry for bothering you

Commission Response to Mr Lindsay's Comments

The Commission is not banning free speech. Drivers and team members are entitled to speak their mind provided they don't break Article 15.4, section C.
However, the proposed boycott breaks a more fundamental rule. Once a team has announced their intention to compete in all races, as Scuderia Alitalia did when they entered the Round of the United Kingdom, then they must compete in all races, unless they have a good reason not to. Protesting against the participation of a certain driver is not a good enough reason to not compete. As a result, if Scuderia Alitalia do not intend to compete at the Surfers SuperPrix because of Mr Melrose's participation, then penalties must be faced.

[Stramala]

As the boycott did not have the desired effect, we are withdrawing our protest. However, this does not mean our original concerns have in any way been addressed. We will just have to get get on our knees and beg to Joel Melrose to discover the brake pedal, understand what it does and actually use it during races.

Something's just occurred to me. So far, whoever has won race one on any given weekend has ALWAYS gone on to win the round.

Something's just occurred to me. So far, whoever has won race one on any given weekend has ALWAYS gone on to win the round.

And only once has the polesitter for race 1 not won it.

[SuperAguri]

What are my race team doing? I go away fro a few races and we stop scoring points. Get your bums into gear or you'll be so fired that even a twobit karting track that only has 50cc carts will not employ you. I feel Yuko has worked hard enough and will be helping Vantini in our bid to win the teams championship.

TMLW : As long as the two calenders work, Yuko Katayama will be promotoed to the F2RWRS Falik Arrows team and if he is underqualified to, Sani Morgan will go from the F2RWRS team to the F3RWRS team, if not then I will be looking for a new driver (so get your offers in, other team and non team bosses....). Oh and my team will be entering the Superprix with my current drivers (Yuko in the 3rd seat if possible.)

Morgan can't race in the F3RWRS (the Italian GP was his 10th start), so you'll have an empty seat unless you can hire someone. Katayama can race at China, but the Surfers SuperPrix is on the same weekend as the F2 Canadian GP, so Katayama can only race at one of them.

Ragnar Larsen will be hunting for a seat, as it is rumoured he is about to be dropped from the Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra at the end of this season...

[AndreaModa]

Josh Carlisle in line for Falik Arrows Junior seat?

Rumours have circulated today suggesting that Josh Carlisle, a 17 year old English driver from Cheltenham, is potentially in line to seal a temporary move to the F3RWRS Falik Arrows Junior team. Carlisle has had a fairly strong motorsport career so far, having worked his way through karting championships in his native Britain, he went out on a limb to race for two years in German Formula Ford in 2012 and 2013, with some success, including a handful of podium finishes and one race win at Oschersleben. Since finishing 5th in the championship in 2013, Carlisle has been looking for a race drive and the vacancy at Falik Arrows Juniors might just be his chance.

[SuperAguri]

Josh Carlisle signs for Falik Arrows

The shrewd Prince Falik wasted no time in snapping up Josh Carlisle for the rest of the season with an option for the 2015 season. Falik Arrows required a driver since Yuko Katayama was promoted to the F2RWRS team and Sani Morgan was refused a seat due to him starting 10 races in F2RWRS, although personally he would have struggled in F3RWRS. It is rumoured that Akinjide Ezerioha seat could be free before the end of the season too due to Ezeriohas poor results compared to Katayamas.

Chrsitopherson takes pole #2 for the year, beating out Hawkin and Kazama. A few drivers made their debuts here, with Josh Carlisle qualifying a solid 12th. The others weren't quite as impressive, with Aurelio Bandini struggling to 36th and Tomas Ondrejka will start from last place. Renaldo Jimenez was the best effort though, putting JLD in top 10. For once...

*snoring* Huh, what? Is it over yet?

Most of the position changes can be explained by two simple things: Positions lost were mostly because of running wide at the hairping, and positions gained were by picking up the scraps. Every now and then, someone would make a good pass there, but it was the only place where anything happened. At all. Honourable mentions to Jimenez for scoring a point, and Pazzini for being ridiculously brave at the hairpin and pulling it off every single time. After Christopherson threw it off the road there on lap 2, Kazama bolted, and everyone else was left in her dust.

[Stramala]

For sure, this is my best drive of the career! I decided to be brave, and it has paid off. Second is a great result and I hope to get my first win later this weekend. For me it's a shame Alessandro and Rico were struggling and didn't score more points for the team, but ok, focusing on my weekend, this is a very positive start.

Fastest lap: Dorien Lamberigts (2:13.84)

Just as bad as race 1. It was soon apparent that the top drivers would get 6 chances to move forward - the start, and turn 14 every lap. Christopherson Jr was very aggressive at every chance and managed to get to 9th, while drivers like Swerts, Cameron, Zimmer, Kazama and Albertini were calmer, doing enough to stay out of the back 6. Shane Walsh wasn't calm enough, running into Cavalcanti at the hairpin, with Torbani doing the same to Hawkin a lap later. Lilly and Molinaro collided on lap 4. Up front, Lamberigts held off Donegro, with Austin taking third.

Antonio, Joao, you know what? YOU'RE... FIRED!

Antonio Reyna-Sanchez and Joao Cavalcanti will not be driving for JLD next year. JLD are also looking to merge into Christopherson Racing to form Christopherson-JLD Motorsport.

Nah, they'll still drive at Surfers. Maybe they could change my mind by actually performing for once.

[the Masked Lapwing]

I'll post race 3 tomorrow, which means you have until then to finalise your lineups for Surfers (specifically whether Katayama will race for Falik and Mondlane for Porto Wine. Everyone else should be fine). I also want to know whether you want it to be worth double points. I'll spoil it now, because after race 3 here, with regular points there will only be two drivers in it and the teams championship is wrapped up, while with double points there's four drivers and two for the teams.

Naturally I want regular points

How long is the race though, because if it's significantly longer than other races, with a pitstop or whatever, then there might be a case for double points.

Also, let's never go back to China.

[Stramala]

Also, let's never go back to Norisring.

Fixed.

[dr-baker]

And in this virtual world, how many F1RWRS rounds are there after the Superprix? If either Martin McFry or Eff One Jnr do well, for example, would I have a chance to promote them before the superlicence rules kick in?

Also, let's never go back to China.

The race is 45 minutes long (more than twice as long as races 1 & 3 in a regular weekend), and by my calculations it should be a brilliant strategy race, because normally the cars would have to two-stop to get home, but a one-stopper might just be possible.

And in this virtual world, how many F1RWRS rounds are there after the Superprix? If either Martin McFry or Eff One Jnr do well, for example, would I have a chance to promote them before the superlicence rules kick in?

I think that Japan might be afterwards, or if not then it's just Indy.

23rd: Yuri Sokolov (Shonan): +1:23.49
24th: Antonio Reyna-Sanchez (JLD): +1:49.10
Fastest lap: Tomo Kazama (2:13.02)

More snoring. Guess what track won't be on the calendar next year! Christopherson (finally) wins a race from pole, and Kazama took a solid second place. That is literally all that can be said about this race (when no one can get by even in the pit cycle, something is desperately wrong.)


Round 6 - Wrap-Up

Round Winner: Tomo Kazama - 20 points, 1 win, 1 2nd and 2 fastest laps
Round win #3 for the young Japanese driver, which sees her close to 4 points behind Cameron, setting up an exciting inter-team battle at Surfers.

Reject of the Weekend: Shanghai International Circuit
Even the reverse grid was boring. And for a series that usually produces exciting races, this is unacceptable.

Inifinite Improbablity Drive of the Weekend: Dorien Lamberigts
A win in the reverse grid race really isn't that special, but not many actually back it up in race 3 (in fact, ignoring the Norisring, this is the best effort by a race 2 winner in race 3). Deserving of P2 in the round.

24th: Antonio Reyna-Sanchez (JLD): +1:49.10

That means that Reyna-Sanchez lost 12.122 seconds on average per lap. Wow, that makes Délétraz awesome by comparison

[AndreaModa]

F*cking, f*cking Torbani! Whilst my chances at the title were slim anyway, now they're all but ruined thanks to him!

Overall a solid weekend for me, I'm pretty happy that I made all three races for the team, and hopefully these results will be a good base to build upon for the SuperPrix.

[AdrianSutil]

Harry Austin:
I'm delighted to score my first podium with the team, our hard work this year has paid off and both myself and Ashley are pushing to consolidate Ma-Junior's 10th place in the constructors.

[This]

Finally the money from Alitalia has arrived... and suddenly we have to money to actually prepare our cars decently! Seems still nobody wants to be our third driver, it's their choice, we don't need them.

[Stramala]

OK, so I did not win this weekend, but for sure, two podiums is a good result for me. Top 10 in the championship after only doing half the races this year, I think this shows good potential for the future. Surfers will be very interesting!

What do you want from me?

Well, it's no surprise people crash into me a lot, I have so much natural magnetism with my dashing good looks...

Well ah, the girboks, it broke in race 3 you see, the 4th gear is no good, and then just duh-duh-duh, on the limiter you know, so eventually i just skip from 3rd to 5th gear you know. but yes, the points, its very good to score finally you know.

I am very happy at Christopherson Racing. I would definitely be open to remaining here next season, with the permission of Scuderia Alitlia of course. But I think I have bonded well with the team, the results have been good, and I think we are in a good position for next season already. But of course, there is the final fling in Surfers, and I hope I can back up Jack Junior in his chase for the title. It's an outside shot I know, but, I'll do what I can to aid my team-mate.

Samora Mondlane is also driving for Porto Wine at Surfers...

[Stramala]

Due to the expansive nature of our junior driver programme, we would like to know your likely decision regarding team sizes in F3RWRS next season. While we are not stating a preference of any kind with this memo, we would be greatful for an answer regarding whether 3 car teams will be reduced to two, or the same rules from this season will be in effect in 2015 as well.

Thanks,
Alasdair Lindsay
CEO & Team Principal, Scuderia Alitalia

DanielPT: I'm positive you said Soares would be back for Surfers, but I don't care. What number will Mondlane be driving?

kostas: It'll be two cars only next year. I'll post something regarding new rules for next season after I finish Surfers.

[Group Lotus]

Group Lotus will enter a car for John Wilson. The car will be number 130.

Come on people, I said before I finished China! It's too late for Wilson to join in, sorry.

How about reading the rules next time Bahar.
