Grand Prix Rejects

Great end to Jack's driving career.

And nice driver pairing in JCR, exact same as I use in KL-Racer's 2009. Hope Jack will have as much success with them as I do.

Rabbi Gordon

Just one race left?

Oh man, how time goes by. Best of luck to Jack in that race and in the "future" if he wishes to continue his career somewhere.

Rabbi Gordon

Race pace for a really content Epsilon Euskadi.

Great drive for Giedo, he made all of us forget how he paid for the ride. My personal god Giorgio is continuing on with rock solid performances.

Rabbi Gordon

Yay!
Giorgio scores another point, while Giedo also shows some nice pace in Pre-qualifying and qualifying.

Is it possible to offer a driver a contract extension mid-season or I have to wait until the silly season?

Rabbi Gordon

Wow...

A totally unimpressive and just above average Wehrlein became the DTM champion and people act like he is a huge talent, who will make it in F1.

He is even worse both talent and attitude-wise than di Resta.

Rabbi Gordon

Pierre is not happy with the Spanish-Swiss engine breaking down, but he'll repair it and enter the French GP. He will also drive more conservatively this time in order to preserve the recently overhauled engine. Just to clarify, are you setting his race strategy to conservative or to very conservat...

Rabbi Gordon

So, Jimmie Johnson just exited the Chase after its first cutoff... LEL Obviously, JJ was deserving of a spot in the next round, but it feels sooo good to see NASCAR's gimmicks shoot the series in its foot. Bummed for McMurray missing out over Newamn and Gordon, but he put up a great fight and showin...

Rabbi Gordon

Strange, but interesting ROTR here.

Go Trulli! (and Christopherson) (and HWNSNBM)

Rabbi Gordon

OK, thanks for answering. I'm quite surprised that forum about F1 Challenge 99-02 is active. Well, it's still being used to run some series and virtual careers here. Yup, i'm still using F1 Challenge. The huge selection of mods is definitely part of the reason, for example I have mods for every sea...

Rabbi Gordon

Euskadi will go for qualifying pace and KERS.

Rabbi Gordon

Just a heads up: This is not dead, but at the moment I have to focus on my studies and my girlfriend.

Rabbi Gordon

Aw dammit, double DNQ and we are the top ranked team to remain in Pre-quali, I believe. At least that might prevent further DNPQs.

If I'm correct Brawn and Carlin escape Pre-qualifying at the expense of Renault and MSR, while we (Euskadi) just failed to overtake Williams.

Rabbi Gordon

In order to put less pressure on Fisher, we would like to enquire the services of Alex Tagliani for the road/street courses. Alex is asking for the modest sum of 1 million. He is hoping to impress and earn a full-time place in the team for next year. Fisher's reaction: 1-25: Ragequit 26-100: Being ...

Rabbi Gordon

With the offer accepted, Pierre de Vizcaya will enter the Spa race.

Naturally, the car will be the Rolland-Pilain RP001 chassis 2 powered by the Hispano-Suiza HS23E engine 3.

Rabbi Gordon

What if the following drivers got F1 drives? A. Tom Kristensen B. Helio Castroneves C. Dan Wheldon D. Dario Franchitti E. Paul Tracy F. Arie Luyendyk A. Adapts quite quickly, as he has always been a quick learner, contender, but never a top name. A Johnny Herbert-esque career. B. I really don't kno...

Rabbi Gordon

No longer in the championship hunt, but keep on truckin'!
You are making a great read even after 5 years and must have logged a commendable amount of hours in the best modern F1 game. (If you are still doing this with F1C)

Great job. Definitely read all reports as soon as I find them up.

Rabbi Gordon

My favorite teams up with the only driver I honestly hate.

Seems interesting. Nick remains in the series the very least, let's see how he'll annihilate Villeneuve.

Rabbi Gordon

Pierre de Vizcaya is still looking for a chassis and would really like to have a French one.

Therefore he approaches Rolland-Pilain with an offer of 22 000 fine francs.

Rabbi Gordon

Mid-season test #1 The first testing session of the year kicks out in NASCAR country at Charlotte, North Carolina. Everyone will start with a 50% completion of their objective, the better a driver runs, better the percentage can be. (RNG will play here too) Crashing will reduce the percentage thoug...

Rabbi Gordon

Oooh, look there is a football thread! For a similar reason Faroer was in pot 4 instead of the usual pot 6. Interestingly, Faroer will be in the same group as Andorra. Quite honestly, the Faroes deserved pot 5 for sure, looking at the results and even more, the actual matches of pot 5 teams (Lithuan...

Rabbi Gordon

Although they are extremely unsuccessful, they gave an amount of very talented guys their first breaks. Drivers who made their 1st NASCAR start with Mittler trucks: Kenny Irwin, Jr. Justin Allgaier Regan Smith You and I have very different definitions of "very talented". Okay. Allgaier an...

Rabbi Gordon

WOW! That is much more than expected. We scored points and our 2 guys are both in the best 3 "expansion team" drivers. Amazing job for Giorgio to come in 9th after starting from a stellar 10th. Also happy with Giedo's finish, having picked up 6 places in the race. Also congrats to our fell...

Rabbi Gordon

I was thinking lately, there is only one driver I can name who won a World Championship F1 race in every year he competed: Lewis Hamilton. Lots of others are quite close: Vettel only didn't win a single race in 2007 and 2014, Fangio in 1958, Nino Farina in 1955 and so on. Most later drivers missed ...

Honestly, he needs a good punch in the face.

I missed the last half of the race. Surprised to see Rahal winning again. Zero to Hero in a space of one season. Dixon's bad lucky strikes again. BAD? Dixon had amazing luck with a convenient spin from his useless-for-anything-else teammate Karam. So, Rahal is doing what? After this race last year,...

Rabbi Gordon

Paul di Resta for me. I literally forgot he drove for Force India recently. Petrov I forgot about as well. Di Resta is forgettable for me too, despite how much BBC creamed themselves over him. He's the most average Formula 1 driver of all time . This so much! He's really mediocre and I'm tired of e...

Rabbi Gordon

Sexist...... Unless you are joking, gtfo. I'm not sexist, talent is not a matter of sex. There are great female drivers racing at the moment, but they are not in open wheels. They drive in drag racing or GT racing. For example Erica Enders-Stevens, Courtney Force and Claudia Hürtgen are all great d...

Rabbi Gordon

There are NO female drivers good enough to be driving in F1 or even the NASCAR cup series at the moment. Simona de Silvestro is the best atm and she is where she deserves to be. Part-time at a quite good team. Showed skill, but not enough to warrant a full-time Andretti ride, though enough to remain...

Rabbi Gordon

Qualifying pace for Euskadi.

To win races, you must finish races, to finish races, you must start them. Albeit Pantano would have been convincingly in the field, it would be great if it remained the same and Giedo at least made out of pre-qualiy cometh round 1.

Rabbi Gordon

Odd that the only team that bid for Spyker’s V8 was MSR. That ain't true! Spyker was my #2 bid in hopes of using them badged as Saab, if BMW turned us down. They didn't... I guess those mail bombs will remain in Azkoitia. Looks like the idea to attract a good pay driver with the premise of a #1 sea...

Oh please no...
AMAZING man off the track, but always a bit of a douche on it and overly aggressive every time he raced (not only) on an oval.

Rabbi Gordon

Arciero would like 0.1 on reliability.

Rabbi Gordon

Some outsiders here: Olivier Panis' 1997 - Until the accident, he was really outperforming the car and was a constant top contender. I believe he could have legit won a race in that year. Mika Hakkinen's 1992 - A car that was capable of DNQing and had an outdated engine in it, sometimes it would go ...

Rabbi Gordon

Here are two former GP2 drivers' new careers: Hiroki Yoshimoto - Apparently he has been in music with his band do-a for quite a time. They actually started 2 years before Hiroki's first GP2 start. m Honestly, it sounds totally okay. Hamad Al Fardan - GP2 Asia driver, who wasn't that bad when he wasn...

Assuming there will be other tests later, I go for top speed. Otherwise I choose acceleration.

There will be 3 more. One street, one road course and one special at Spa.

Wat
I'm real happy with this result, although a major fluke and ended in 2 blown engines, it is pleasing to see them in a race.
I believe we're now safe from the last places.

Don't worry about the frequency of updates, post when you have time for it

Rabbi Gordon

Arciero will go for Reliability test, while we instruct Shinji Nakano to keep it off the wall, and gather as much data as possible. Shinji is confused, because Alex Barron will drive the car during the test. Although Nakano agrees that he has to give a better performance and promises to do so in hi...

A little story here: MB Motorsports (MB stands for Mittler Brothers) is the only NASCAR Truck Series team with at least one start in every year of the competition (1995-2015). They had exactly ONE top 10 in their 212 starts, earned by a certain Carl Edwards in 2002. Although they are extremely unsuc...

Rabbi Gordon

So... Upgrades! There are five fields. Top Speed, Cornering, Acceleration, Reliability as usual and Consistency . The consistency field does not better your car at all, but your driver will be less likely to crash and more likely to translate a good qualifying into a good race. This upgrade can be a...
