Okay, then you can add Laurent Seron to my team for Indy. That makes it four drivers.

[Wizzie]

Erm, so what that's saying is that anyone who doesn't make the 1000 credits limit the year after smashing it to bits gets those additional credits that they originally forfeited, only a year later? Not so sure about it myself, but I'm happy to see how it turns out in practice.

Well, DGNineering and MRT look like smashing the limit to bits at this rate so it won't affect them for now but it'll probably help out the Gillet team as they hit the credit limit last year but probably won't do it this year.

Wait, I missed that. Nope, those credits aren´t held for next season. If you hit the 1000 credit limit then good for you, you can send your mechanics for hookers for the whole season with the extra credits and eat sushi for breakfast at every GP

You say that jokingly but this is the stark reality of Formula One nowadays.

Car one: David Koczo & Gianluigi Pazzini
Car two: Andrej Kremnicky & Bastiaan van Neiuwenhuijzen

Guys, for the record, it's not four drivers in two cars here

And I never said you had to have four cars. You can run only two! Which is what will happen to any team who doesn't specify a fourth driver.

[Stramala]

Then what the hell is it then? Stop confusing everyone with your indecisive statements!

What this means is that each team gets to run a maximum of four drivers for the race (and I'm not capping the entrants - huge grids are awesome!) So most teams will either need to sack a driver or hire another one.

OK, I could have said four cars, but you two are the only ones having problems with that

Can you post an example entrant to clear things up?

The two options are:

Virgin MRT (2 Drivers)
1. Rhys Davies
2. Phillippe Nicolas

OR

Virgin MRT (4 Drivers)
1. Rhys Davies
2. Phillippe Nicolas
3. Mitchell Macklin
4. Marie Simon

That shouldn't be too hard to understand

[JeremyMcClean]

Thanks, Wizzie!

ArrowTech ART (2 drivers)
Car 1: Mirko Bosevic

See, NOW I GET IT. That was not made clear beforehand. Mentioning drivers without also mentioning cars was a bad idea.

I think I'll go with...
Scuderia Alitalia
1. David Koczo
2. Andrej Kremnicky
3. Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen
4. Gianluigi Pazzini

[tristan1117]

Since this is American Racing Conglomerate's best chance at publicity we will run 4 cars:
1. Jesus Plaza
2. Fredo Mestolio
3. Tristan Jung
4. Peter Senerson

[Warren Hughes]

Prospec will enter two cars at Indy for Jean-Luc Schiller and Du Lei.

[dr-baker]

Well, I'll just have the same four drivers (Douglas and Pippa Mann, Ben Fleet and Martin McFry) in four cars, with whatever car numbers they are allocated then.

[Klon]

Well, Tropico Grand Prix will in that case send a second car to Indy, driven by Renaldo Jiménez.

Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport
- Miko Fäkkinen
- Renaldo Jiménez

By the way, Phoenix, if you happen to have some time left, could you take a look at Tropico's offer to Judd McAllister?

[JeremyMcClean]

Thanks, Wizzie!

ArrowTech ART (2 drivers)
Car 1: Mirko Bosevic

Hold on

Is this for the Indy? Or for the Nurburgring?

Sammy Jones signs sponsorship deal with Calgon



As the 2014 season draws to a conclusion, Sammy Jones has been busy negotiating deals for his team's campaign in 2015, and most recently he's agreed terms with Reckitt Benckiser for their Calgon brand of water softener to be displayed on Jones Racing's F1, F2 and F3RWRS cars for next year.

On the deal, Jones had this to say,

"We're delighted that we've managed to secure sponsorship from another successful British company, and Calgon is a well-known, trusted and reputable brand that people identify with. I myself have used Calgon on a regular basis on my washing machines for decades, and there's no doubt about its quality and effectiveness. Time and again it's been proven - washing machines live longer with Calgon!

Publicocrap has hit an all time low!

To be fair, you've already not gone as low as people have managed in the past, RonDen were sponsored by Cillit Bang for 2014...

BANG and those DNPQs are gone!

admit it, the view of Van Dycke crashing over a fence and not managing to find the way back to the track (that was the first or second race of the REECCS ) is legendary

There really is no point in stalling anymore, so let's get this one over with.

Kay Lon To Join Prospec

In the pre-race weekend press conference Gary Cameron announced that his team, Pemberton Prospec Racing, managed to acquire the services of Kay Lon for the 2015 F1RWRS season. According to the first F1RWRS World Champion, the contract was signed on Tuesday afternoon.

He informed the media that Lon signed a two-year contract but didn't go further regarding information about said contract. Kay Lon has confirmed the switch on Twitter and the Facebook page of his fan club. but didn't add any comment and was not able to comment to us yet.

[AdrianSutil]

MA-Racing fail to land Lon.

Mr.Alexander was woken this morning with news of Kay Lon's decision to join Pemberton Prospec for 2015. Whilst the news is no real surprise to Mr.Alexander, he was still disappointed by the outcome. "For sure, I'm upset about it. I thought there was a 50/50 chance he would sign. But there we go."
Mitie Aviation are going through several changes at the moment, and still having two seats available this close to the end of the season doesn't bode well for 2015, but Mr.Alexander isn't worried yet. "There's still a load of drivers without a seat next year, so we will continue to hunt around for a good talent to sign."
Possible drivers on Mr.Alexander' radar include Ashley Watkinson, Hagane Shizuka and Nathan Scott. But with several changes ahead for the Sevenoaks based team, keeping Valsattis and Neuberg for another year would keep some stability within the young side. "Its true about the changes, but I'd like any drivers wishing for a fresh challenge to contact me. Our office is always open, even for a quick chat and coffee. Work on the car has already begun for 2015, and the progress on development for the beginning of the year is encouraging".

DGN AND MITIE TO SWAP DRIVERS?

After Mitie´s boss Mr.Alexander lost the battle to sign Kay Lon for the 2015 season, rumours are rife that a driver swap between Mitie and Dgngineering could happen for next year. Mr. Alexander showed an interest to sign Nathan Scott as one of their drivers for the 2015 season, while Chris Dagnall is believed to been following Neuberg´s progression very closely and could make an offer to secure his services. More news regarding this story to follow soon.

Whatever driver you signed, remember he's never going to be as hot as Ron Mignolet! (i have to promote him a little bit, he's the only of my drivers who have shown any competitiveness)

[AdrianSutil]

Autosport.com: Neuberg and Scott to swap?

Rumours are starting to circulate about the possibility of David Neuberg going to DGNgineering with Nathan Scott going the other way. How much truth is in these reports remain to be seen, but for Mr.Alexander, he seems to be open to the suggestion. "Make no mistake about it, David has been doing wonders for the team this year. When he joined, it was only as a temporary cover until we found another suitable driver. But the money he brings, plus his above-par performances, have made him very popular within the team."
The main concern for Mr.Alexander though, would be losing the one driver who brings vital sponsorship to the team. "If we were to let Neuberg go, we would want some sort of compansation as a result. Having Nathan Scott on board is all well and good, and he would bring a vital amount of skill to the team, but the money we would lose from David leaving would have a pretty big impact on development for next year. We will leave this open to discussion with DGN, and hopefully they will come forward with an offer soon."
Whatever the outcome, Mitie seem to be attracting some good recognition for their performances this year.

ALITALIA ABOUT TO BACKSTAB KOCZO A-LA ALONSO 06?

A SENSATIONAL rumour has emerged from the north of Italy, suggesting Scuderia Alitalia is going to BACKSTAB current lead driver David Koczo by signing Acuri driver Ron Mignolet on a 2016 contract, a year in advance.

Koczo was tempted out of semi-retirement by Alitalia but it seems they are already lining up a replacement for him, with SUPERSTAR rookie Andrej Kremnicky expected to step up to the F1RWRS outfit in 2016.

This would follow the SCANDALOUS case of 2006, when Alonso signed for McLaren a whole YEAR before the end of his deal with Renault, a team that had brought him through the racing ranks.

Scuderia Alitalia did not respond to our requests for an interview. Silence a sign of GUILT, perhaps.

Sassetti: "RTT accusations are baseless"
Scuderia Alitalia team principal Andrea Sassetti has rubbish rumours they have already pursued Ron Mignolet to become their new lead driver for the 2016 season a year in advance, claiming the rumour is "baseless" and has no foundation in fact.

"This is a ridiculous rumour, there is no way we would do something like this," he said. "Do we think Ron Mignolet is a good driver? Yes, we believe he is a guy with much potential, but right now we need an experienced team leader on board to help the team build this year, and mentor our new young prodigy Kremnicky in the future. There is no point in denying Andrej will be driving for us in F1RWRS, it is obvious to everyone it will happen, but what we don't know yet is when that will happen. For now, our two contracted drivers for 2015 are David Koczo and Ben Fleet, and any media report suggesting otherwise is a lie. We cannot confirm drivers for 2016 as we do not have any contracted at the moment."

"The reason David does not have a multi-year contract is his preference. He wanted a flexible one-year contract, so we heeded his demands. This has nothing to do with us wanting rid of him to make way for Mignolet.

[Wizzie]

*Goes over some classified MRT documents* So... if Nat retires again and Daggers Jr finishes 5th or higher, it's game over for him. Hmm... Get Mitchy boy on the phone my dear, he may be on the verge of getting a promotion after Zandvoort. Now, off to the engine workshop to make sure they're not drinking on the job again like those muppets did when they made the P88.

[This]

No i have not signed a deal with Scuderia Alitalia. I'm a free agent. It is true that i have been seen with Mr. Sassetti, this was however for saxophone lessons.

In truth, if F1RWRS had three car teams, I'd have tried to sign up Ron Mignolet right now. But David Koczo is too good a driver to snub and we need Ben Fleet's Foxdale money. But, in future, never say never...

CHRIS DAGNALL SPEAKS ABOUT 2015 LINE-UP

Today, in the press conference ahead of the North Sea GP, Chris Dagnall didn´t hide when he was asked about his plans for the 2nd drive at his team for next season. Dagnall said: "There´re always going to be rumours, isn´t it? It´s impossible to escape from that.", when asked about some of the drivers that could be in his book, he said; "Neuberg is definitely a good driver, but he needs some experience first. Qualifying a backmarker car for a race is good, but maybe not enough for a front team. Mignolet, on the other hand, is a better option. I love how that guy is doing at Acuri and I´d like to have a driver like that at my team, there´s a lot of potential in him and we can unleash it"

[JeremyMcClean]

In a local interview, Acuri has said that Mignolet is free to go wherever he wants for 2015. "I think he's a tremendous driver, but I'm not his manager, I'm not going to restrict where he goes in his career. He's very welcome to stay at the team, I'd be more than happy for him to race with us again in 2015. But that's not for him to decide."
