Grand Prix Rejects

A message to dinizintheoven: How does Bathurst actually work for us F1RMGPers?

Henri Julien in the wars Henri Julien was rushed to hospital in Heidelberg after the German Grand Prix, suspected to have had a heart attack. On waking up after emergency surgery, the AGS team principal was heard to moan "non, pas lui encore ..." It was not a reference to the team's lates...

Maybe Il Barone Rampante should consider a 2010 Citroen WRC style switch - swap the underperforming senior driver (Badoer in the SAAC) with the impressive junior driver (Bertaggia in the Minardi). Worked for that season, helped Loeb win the title and the marque for the constructors'. I'm sure Yannic...

If Mantorp Park was chosen over Helsinki, you'll be able to hear "PERKELE" for miles....personally I've always thought rejects should get what they deserve. In the case of certain drivers (van der Poele, McCarthy, Dalmas) that should've been better F1 drives. For Deletraz, Lavaggi and Bert...

I know, just putting the point out there that the not-quite-black and white 80s Brabham's weren't all piloted by charming Italians or a Brazilian who wet himself. My Danish friend recently drove a Radical round Jyllands-Ringen, decent looking track near Silkeborg on Denmark's Jutland peninsula. Sai...

Take a wild guess.

To be fair, the Parmalat days had some pretty shocking drivers....Corrado Fabi, Francois Hesnault and Ricardo Zunino spring to mind!

Dalmas still looking for AGS seat Recent reports from Southern France suggested that Yannick Dalmas was ready to ditch folically-challenged farm/business partner Didier Auriol, and replace struggling Olivier Beretta at AGS. When asked about the recent Swedish Grand Prix result, where Beretta did ou...

Eh, Collard et Bouchut, Ils n'ont pas participé dans le Reversale Grande?! Pourqoui? Sacre Bleu! Dommage avec les resultats de qualifying pendant l'écrivage, qui était trop vite. Mais pas de dommage avec le race, parce que les français roulent lentement dans le Polestar avec moins de puissance qu'u...

Yeah, he also jumped from 128,000ft disguised as Felix Baumgartner. Hey, this gives me an idea - do you reckon Felix would be up for following his namesake into F1RMGP? Maybe for ATS Rial Deutscland Jagermeister Luftwaffe (or whatever Gunter is doing these days)

Why thank you! But seriously, Yannick really wanted that space. He's a hero of mine. He won Le Mans in a car that had the rear lights of a BMW Z3. So he did. Co-driven by Smokin' Jo WInkelhock, in F1RMGP until the end of this season, and Pierluigi Martini, who's done a three-year stint with Minardi...

Dalmas looking for career change Having recently visited Toulon for a rugby match, who did I bump into? Yannick Dalmas. The wily old fox was rather pleasant, signing autographs etc. I mentioned to him the current F1RMGP situation....and he suddenly changed. He became angry, and muttered something r...
