just bought this...

...if you saw the last thing I bought and posted on here, you may notice a trend! I collect sponsorship/corporate brochures from defunct F1 teams.

Monstrobolaxa

We need to think positive, he might be reading F1Rejects now! He might even learn something!

Monstrobolaxa

He got tired of Formula 1 made enough money there and "retired". His works as an estate agent/speculator, buying cheap and selling at a higher price.

Another interesting fact about the SEGA deal was that BMS Scuderia Lola was also in the hunt for the SEGA sponsorship, but SEGA said it had no interest whatsoever in sponsoring a Formula 1 team and a few weeks later it shows up on the Williams. I just think SEGA didn't want to call their project crap!

I would actually do something that looked a bit more serious to see what info he'll supply. a few ideas: - register an email that does sound serious (if using a company name check if it actually exists...to avoid problems in the future) - get a company name that can be mistaken for another company a...

Alex Zanardi raced with steel brakes in Italy in 1999...

Monstrobolaxa

I was with Team Monaco.

As for Pacific stuff it's mostly press releases and a press kit.

I enjoyed A1GP as it was my first motorsports engineering job out of uni!

Miss it every day...great people...but life goes on.

Monstrobolaxa

Not exactly F1...but kind of a reject!

I just bought it.

Monstrobolaxa

I almost bid on that Mastercard Lola sweatshirt....only thing stopping me was thinking of how annoyed my fiancee would have been.

I have the Mastercard Lola team launch press kit and the car launch press kit.

Also have a few things from Simtek, Pacific and Super Aguri

If every F1 Reject wrote their autobiography...

Force 1 USA now has a charity...!

PR isn't being paid so no press release or statement.

He's becoming very professional now... Come prepared with proof of funding and we will have a face-to-face meeting, any place, any time. (of course, at your expense)…DonPentecost@Force1USA.com Doesn't sound threatening at all! A motorsport team (F1®, Formula1®,Formula one®), is not a business in the...

From what I found the LC95 was designed but never built...and the LC94 was never upgraded to the 1995 regs.

They also tried a deal with DAMS to run the DAMS F1 car.

Monstrobolaxa

Isn't the DAMS F1 car at the DAMS factory?
I e-mailed them a few years ago and it was there...they even sent me a few pics of it!

Our Spiritual leader (Don Pentecost) has spoken... I have a vision to race Formula 1 (cars), but honestly, I feel that MotoGP (Motorcycle), racing is; - more exciting for fans, - It is much, much cheaper to race. - It is more “on the edge”, (the new generation bike speeds of 220 mph, on a very small...

The 2013 Budget is based on being fully funded by August 1, 2012. Anyone noticed we're a few weeks away from his "deadline" for the 2013 budget. I would suggest someone with some sort of corporate type e-mail address to contact him saying: "I'm interested in your project, can you sen...

Monstrobolaxa

Well I know they aren't a reject, but in this case they did make an effort to build a complete car. It's just that I the info is out there and if no one compiles it, it will be forgotten.

Monstrobolaxa

Since there is a lot of info out there on the USF1 fiasco, I think it should be added to the teams database!

Now it's beginning to look promising!

The awning and truck were parked over 300 meters away from the actual testing strip and not in line with the strip. They might not have a great car, but they are very profession...

Find the anti-stall story hard to swallow. The cars I've worked with just disengage the clutch when anti-stall kicks in. So if you're driving into the pits for a pit-stop as you slow down and forget to pull the clutch the throttle opens to 50%? So does it mean the front jack is runned over? If they ...

Check his update from yesterday! Now looking for the board of directors!

Monstrobolaxa

For a minute there I thought the project was doomed! But wait he's posting job vacancies:

Certainly the project is starting to roll!

I don't ever remember seeing a showcar in this specification while I was at Super Aguri, but I guess it might have happened. This configuration was never seen on the SA05. The closest config to this one was the 1st test config at Barcelona. Where the Arrows A23 nose/wing assy and rear wing was used...

Well there's this american guy called Dan Pentacost who wants to build a F1 team and become the oldest F1 world champion! Here is his website: m Go through it and let me know what you think. To be honest it looks likes the guy hasn't got a clue on what F1 is! Wants to start with 1 car (stage 1) then...

Found these documents. One of the references is F1 Rejects...but they do use others!

Monstrobolaxa

He might be right! the important thing isn't the stickers on the car, but the chassis number. He may have looked it up and might be the Alesi chassis with the Prost stickers.

Besides that even if he doubled the price would it sell?

Monstrobolaxa

If you look carefully at the 3rd picture, the cam cover has the Volvo F1 logo on it!

They either were involved with the project, or the designers tried selling it to Volvo!

Monstrobolaxa

Just checked and the 1997 Renault had 750hp and the 1997 Hart had 630hp...

So I recon the "guestimated" the 830hp....!

I placed a bid on that Arrows data folder, when it showed up first. I offered 70 quid for it...and the reserve price wasn't reached! He then put it at a fixed price, which is way to high for what it's worth! Here is the project for the Mastercard Lola, inhouse engine for sale... http://www.racecarsd...

Of course Klon, but it still surprises to me that no one bothered to close them, no matter how bankrupt the company went. Remember the Pacific website? Which remained open for 15 years, absolutely unaltered? There. I strongly suspect that we don't know the whole story of that. If it had been online...
