RonDen RE - we already have a deal with Lancia, let's make that clear - would think Aston Martin and Holden are welcome, as they are historic and professional car-makers and would be good for the image of the sport.
In our opinion BMW has ruined it's chance and should be in, unless perhaps in a partnership with Triumph, who are an unknown quantity. About the rumours of Audi and Renault, they are welcome too.
We however think Gillet is not a serious car manufacturer, and giving them the right to produce their own engines would be like forcing teams to use Life W12 engines.
We think that our technical partner, Donkervoort, is of better value, and if Gillet get's it, so should Donkervoort. Also Gillet is funded partially by Belgian tax money if they get the license, we - together with the worker unions - will go on a national strike. They want to reduce our social security, just for the sake of saving an economic worthless team that costs millions of €'s. Worse of all is that they hardly pay taxes. They hardly give any employment and are getting huge profits, with our money! (oh yeah, i'm going to involve Belgian politics :D ) Also considering their ties with the very questionable Dexia-bank, we don't think they have enough finances to put a serious effort in it, and would put F2RWRS into discredit, unless, of course, they use our tax money, which means a conflict of interest, as we partially own their team. Which gives us the right to occupy their factory, if they don't retreat their bid. :D

I'm already in trouble with the Commission, I don't need other people adding to my problems too :?
I would think Aston Martin, Holden and Triumph are the only realistic choices left...

DM: this is not against the F1 commission, neither is this against Mr. Gillet or Mr. De Bock, this is because we - and whole of Belgium - pay taxes for their team that - contrary to popular belief - has no private-owned money at all!

(trust me, involving Belgian politics is the thing we need to make F1RWRS complete)


Edit: of course this has all to do with Lamberigts poor results, but don't tell anyone :D

When he tried to veto a pensions resolution he nearly caused the whole of Italy's automotive industry to go on strike and take Virgin Inter Corse's Novara plant offline for a whole week. We know what it's like, but the difference is Berlusconi had real power back then. Gillet are still a pawn in world automotive manufacturing terms.

And if it's a public owned automaker, how did it survive a half decade FIA GT programme without any scrutiny?

And oh, Berlusconi? You mean that guy that's actually a slave of the powerful dictator Di Rupo?

I highly recommend having Eric Swerts in the car for Spain after his performance in Hungary with Phil McCracken in the car for Canada (Once I find his stats again as I've accidentally lost driver stats for both him and Giconi Okorie :oops: )

You're seriously recommending Phil McCracken? This isn't some sort of windup? You're being deadly serious?!

Well, that should be a 'fun' weekend. Going back to a team that fired him earlier in the season. :lol:

I'm dead serious as I can tell you right now (having just found his stats again) his race stats are better than Rosco Vantini. He was just a victim of the Prost/KitKat problem.

Sorry Wizzie, but I fancy having someone who isn't a raving Scottish madman in the seat for the final two races! :P

Autosport wrote:Connor O'Heagan Given Chance At Scuderia Jones Italia

With English youngster Terry Hawkin cutting short his tenure at Scuderia Jones Italia in order for him to remain eligible for the F3RWRS, Sammy Jones has decided to fill the seat with the relatively unknown Irishman Connor O'Heagan. O'Heagan hails from Clare in the Republic of Ireland, and was born only a few miles from the town of Ennis. Competing mostly on two wheels for much of his career in motorsport so far, Connor has featured prominently in many Irish road races, including major events such as Dundrod, Cookstown, and the Northwest 200. Since 2011 however, he's been competing on four wheels, including British Formula Ford and British Formula Renault. His talent behind the wheel recently caught the eye of Sammy Jones, who is known to be scouting for a number of new talents as he establishes Jones Racing in new junior series. O'Heagan looks set to join both Hawkin and Josh Carlisle who are currently being guided by the veteran former F1 driver. Connor is known to be an excellent qualifier, able to extract a car's potential excellently over one lap, but his inconsistency over long distances has let him down in the past, and Jones pointed this out as something he was keen to help Connor overcome,

"We're delighted to bring Connor into the Jones Racing fold, and I hope his two races for Scuderia Jones Italia will allow him to prove himself to us all, and will hopefully lead to greater things in the future for the young lad. I'm a bit miffed at having been turned down by Nick Nurmester, we offered him a great opportunity and there was a chance for him to have the second seat alongside Terry next year, but instead I want to see if Connor can prove that he has the ability instead. It's entirely down to him now in these two races to give all he's got."


So, filling the Scuderia Jones Italia seat for the two races will be:

Connor O'Heagan (ROI)
Qualifying - very good
Race - average
Consistency - good

:D

And the template for the mod is the GP2 2005 one. You can also download the Simpson Motorsport livery a few pages back and use it along with the highlights videos as a reference point to see what goes where. If you are going to make a livery however, it HAS to be saved as a Targa File otherwise I'll write a letter to you telling you how angry I am that you make me do extra work :lol:

Basically, the only layer you need to worry about is the one above the background layer (from memory, the layer is called colours or something to that effect). Sponsor logos can just go in their own separate layers. Once you figure out which layer's which, it's actually not that hard to use but you need to use Photoshop or similar editing software

Plus, he was set for points at the A1 Ring before his suspension broke and demoted him to the back of the field again.


A decent result: Yes. Points: Probably not. One has to remember that Austria had the most finishers all year if my memory is correct and it was only McCracken's fantastic start that got him so high up in the first place.

I was afraid it would be that one :? How the hell do the layers work?


Basically, the only layer you need to worry about is the one above the background layer (from memory, the layer is called colours or something to that effect). Sponsor logos can just go in their own separate layers. Once you figure out which layer's which, it's actually not that hard to use but you need to use Photoshop or similar editing software


Indeed. For the boring old 2D liveries I often publish I use Paint.NET because it's free, but clearly that just won't cut it for this kind of file. I'll see what I can do.

GIMP can manage layers quite nicely, and it's free.

Can it deal with PSD? Paint.NET is fine with layers too (use them all the time) but it doesn't support .PSD because Adobe charge royalties on programs using said file format.

The templates themselves are TGA files if my memory is correct so it should be fine.

Well, your memory is incorrect :lol:
It's a multi-layer PSD file.

And it just occurred to me TGA files can't handle multiple layers in Photoshop either :oops:

Okay, so I have Illustrator, and have opened the .psd file in there, but I chose to convert the image into a single layer upon opening, thinking it would be easier.

My question is, before I waste a good few hours coming up with a livery, will it work like that?

I just opened the PSD file from the GP2 2005 template with GIMP and it seemed to work fine.

Right scratch my earlier comment, I got too pissed off with Illustrator, and just copied the image over to Paint.NET and I'm editing it from there. If I then copy it back over to Illustrator, save it as a .tga from there, will it work?

What if you're hopelessly rejectful in drawing anything in drawing programs?

Just like me too. And I've never sent a fax in my life (although I have had a single fax sent on my behalf, a year ago).

A question regarding GP4 liveries; if I delete some of the default layers (such as white-black differential sponsor layers) will it render the entire file useless?
