F1RWRS - A computerised F1Reject series

[SuperAguri]

Well prequalifying gave us some extra practice time and we hope that the extra data helps us to the end of the race. 11th and 12th is pretty bad but I told our drivers to save tyres and the engine. We have refused Shizuka's request to be replaced by a pay driver as he is doing a great job and although the credits a pay driver would bring would be good, we would prefer to have great drivers rather then mediocre ones.

Well done to my team mate, Nicolas Steele in his 13th, as he was just behind the Sunshines and ahead of the Dagnalls and Gillets. My drive was not so good but I had had set up issues all practice. After the race we will be in court for Day 2 of the trail of Lon Vs Kamaha as the F1RWRSC have repatedly ignored requests to handle the case internally.

[tommykl]

What can we say? The car wasn't good at all during qualifying, and we scored our worst quali results all year with 17th and 18th. Thomas and Aurelien were simply unable to heat the tyres properly, and that will probably cost the team dearly during the race, especially since we need more championship points in the fight against Dagnall. What? No we won't hire pay drivers! That's preposterous! Thomas and Aurelien are doing a brilliant job, and a pay driver would be too much of an unknown quantity. He could turn out to be like Ben Fleet, but he could also turn out to be like Vidal Reyna-Sanchez.

Thomas De Bock and Aurelien Moll were unavailable for comment.

[TomWazzleshaw]

Oi! I made him crap on purpose

[TomWazzleshaw]

I got bored so I decided to do a mock up of the MRT M5 (MRT's car next season)

[Aerond]

Zandvoort results up

[the Masked Lapwing]

That... was... AWESOME! I'm almost glad I retired, otherwise I wouldn't hve been able to watch it all! I feel sorry for Ashley, coming so close to HRT's first win of the year, but a podium is still brilliant! I think though we'll have to concentrate on the constructors' championship, I think we're a bit far away from Mark to catch him.

7th? Ah well, from 19th on the grid, that'll work. And we've at least got speed, so at least we're not in immediate danger of not qualifying *cough*Melrose*cough*. Excuse me.

[TomWazzleshaw]

I'm happy that race was over because it was simply a horror weekend for both Arrowtech and MRT. Not much more to say really.

[tristan1117]

(through clenched teeth) Well, obviously I am very disappointed with what happened today, but the car was looking very competitive and I am happy that Colin recieved a point. On the bright side, I am pleased to announce that American Racing Conglomerate has renewed my contract for the next two years.

[Shizuka]

I swear the gearbox manufacturers have sabotaged most of us!

[DanielPT]

Not even our reliability saved us in this race. Shame, since I was looking forward to race day following a reasonably good qualifying session.

Tropico Plans to Host F1RWRS Race in Near Future

The tiny Caribbean nation of Tropico is planning to host a F1RWRS round in the near future in addition to plans to enter a team in the series next year. The nation has experienced exponential growth in the past several years with the establishment of government owned companies Tropico enlatados producen and Cigado which has funded the half a million dollar construction costs of the new track, called Circuito del Caribe. El Presidenta was unavaliable for comment but he is said to be "very pleased with the latest development of our glorious nation."

[TomWazzleshaw]

Now, the challenge here is can anyone make a track that looks like that which is compatible with GP2?

[dr-baker]

So Ben Fleet retired late enough in the race to be counted as 7 laps down rather than retired? Is this Foxdale's first classification of the year? (Even though it is a lost win?) If so, then Foxdale is getting there! Just a little further...

[AndreaModa]

Wow what a superb win! A great result for the team after what's been a bit of a barren patch recently, it's really allowed us to get a comfortable cushion in 4th in the Constructors Championship, though I feel that the Drivers' title is probably out of reach for both myself and Kay at the moment. Spekaing of Kay, I'm gutted for him to have fallen at the last hurdle, a double podium would have been excellent, and he only just missed out on being classified in the points. Still, the 10 for the win will go a long way to myself and the team's championship, and it only serves to reinforce the fact that our car is fundamentally one of the best in the field. Naturally it has some reliability issues, but then almost every team on the grid is struggling one weekend or another so that's to be expected. Obviously today I was able to take advantage of some of that unreliability in others, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is another win and another great chapter in the Jones Racing story.

I'm also in a position to confirm that Castrol Jones Racing is in negotiations with a number of large companies with a view to securing a secondary major sponsorship deal for the upcoming 2014 season and beyond. In due course an announcement will be made when a deal is concluded.

I hear that United Postal Service is looking to reenter the sport as we were in negotiations with them as a possible title sponsor before the Virgin offer presented itself.

[Phoenix]

I want to change my current engine for a turbocharged one. Is it possible?

[Aerond]

I want to change my current engine for a turbocharged one. Is it possible?

It isn´t possible to change engines mid-season ...
I was thinking anyway to ditch Turbo engines, since they give a significant advantage, or introducing new limitations to these engines.

[SuperAguri]

You have to feel for FAT and Foxdale, with both drivers leading the race only for parts to break. Is this the first GP we've had that there has not been an accident?

It was a race to forget, both cars out far too early and both with the speed for a good result. Onto the next race...

Well I have mix feelings about the race, 2 points is good but Jones winning and then claiming he has one of the best cars leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Jones knows he only won as his car did not break down not because it is one of the best cars in the field as he puts it. I am sure that the F1RWRSC will look at the large number of failures due to gearboxes and make plans to fix this.

Oh the irony that Foxdale found in this sentence...

Yeah Foxdale have a really significant advantage from their turbos.... Quelle ironique!

[tommykl]

Fair enough. It's your language!

Edit: Just realised - I hope I don't come across as mocking - after all, I did spend half my life learning the language, and it's ironic I can't spell the right form of ironic in it!

[Aerospeed]

Jeez, no offers for ArrowTech yet? I'm surprised!

And no offers for Tommy Nash's F1RWRS debut (he's a pay driver) yet, which isn't surprising in a way...

[AndreaModa]

Jeez, no offers for ArrowTech yet? I'm surprised!

ArrowTech are for sale?

[Shizuka]

Official press release



Japanese radio station Shonan Beach FM is interested in buying out Arrowtech from the next season, effectively renaming the team into Shonan Arrow. More to be announced later.

[TomWazzleshaw]

Arrowtech, for sale? The hell is this?

Ah well, no matter what the team's situation is I'll be staying on for next season to help facilitate any possible takeover and to make sure the technical links between Arrowtech and MRT established at the beginning of the season continue to remain and grow.

[DanielPT]

My future? I will wait and see how a possible takeover develops before deciding on my future. For now I have a contract that runs until the end of 2015 with ArrowTech and I intend to see it through. I have made a pledge to the team and I feel I owe them that since they've brought me here in the first place...

No, I do not feel betrayed by The Fox despite signing for three at the beginning of this season with a common project to make ArrowTech a frontrunner in mind. If he feels this is the right move for the team in order to reach this goal, then I trust him since he is in the best position to know what is best. What is relevant now is to prepare for next season and work on next year's car with the rest of the team.

Shut it, you wankers, I'm trying to sleep over here.

FAT Turbo Racing up for merger.

F1 race team FAT Turbo Racing have announced that they are looking for a team to merge with, team owner and driver Dave McFaste commented 'I have cancer and I will not be long for this world, so was heartbroken when I was leading the last race only for the suspension to break. I plan to race the rest of the season but am looking for a team to merge with rather then selling the team outright, our talented driver Saeed Al Faisal will remain with the team. We have had talks with Phoenix, Arrowtech, Calinetic, Prospec and Virgin Intercorse. Out of all of those, Virgin would be funny as then we would be FAT Virgin. In the next few weeks I hope we can pool our resources for the new season and have a car that will score points'.

We would also like to spend all our remaining and forthcoming credits on reliability.

[Aerospeed]

ARROWTECH OWNER DENIES FAT TURBO MERGER RUMOURS
The Owner of ArrowTech, only known as "The Fox," has denied rumours that ArrowTech would merge with FAT Turbo Racing. "They're made a good offer," said the sole owner of the team, "but I've discussed [the offer] with the team and we have come to a consensus that both teams were better off without merging. We thank Mr. McFaste for his offer, but we have decided to move on." The Fox, who unobviously (in lack of a better word) announced the team was for sale, is selling 75% of the team, effectively turning over the majority of the team to someone else. "We shall see who wants to take over for ArrowTech..."

[SuperAguri]

Kamaha in talks with FAT turbo.

Barii Mori has admitted talks with FAT turbo racing, he said after an afternoon at the Gym, "We think a merger would be good, our nimble Chassis with FATs Hart engine deal could propel us to the front of the grid, we would also have two talented drivers racing for us and a supply of credits that the very talented Al Faisal, who although has scored no points, has impressed with his race craft and qualifying skills, as we are the biggest team that are in talks we hope that we can agree terms and that the F1RWRSC do not block it for some inane reason. We do wish Dave McFaste all the best of health.". It is not clear if a merged team could mix and match engines and chassis for the following season but if they could then the teams that have to prequalify like Phoenix, Prospec and Callinetic would benefit from a merger, if a merger does go ahead then it is also not clear if Mori would retire, if he would sack Nicolas Steele or have drive shares as he brushed off these questions saying "It is not an issue yet.". Our money is on another team piping up with news of talks.

Nigerian Prince in talks with Arrowtech

Prince Falik, a self proclaimed prince hailing from Nigeria has put in a bid for Arrowtech. The colourful prince said "Yes, yes, I put in a big bid for the Arrowstech team, with my western union cheque and marketing genius, I, the great Prince Falik will propel Arrowtech to the front of the grid. I will be raising more money and my team of hard working workers are writing emails to millions of people, just today, my great uncle failus got a donation of $250,000, all he has to do now is to send proof that he is he by sending a picture of himself holding a marrow on his head with a sign that says 'Iama Faileiah', which I am told is the donator himself. By the end of the week, I shall have all the funds I need to pay for high spec engines and we will have a surprise for the whole grid. Yes, yes! Come next year, all the loopy kids will be wearing p-minus clothes whilst drinking a p-minus energy drink containing the finest fruits of Nigeria, including Guava, Mango, Pineapple and a special blench of poppy extract, once they drink that they will be supporting Arrowtech for the rest of their lives. Yes, yes. I hope the team sell me the 75% as I will bring success and money and luck to the team, yes, yes!". There is a lot of doubt if Prince Falik has any money as he left the cafe and left this poor journalist to pay for the 2 bottles of champagne he drank. That [censored...]

It won't take off. It doesn't contain any papaya!

Prince Falik hits back at detractors

The happy go lucky prince Falik stated that he does have the money, showing us bank books with $9.2 billion dollars locked up in security boxes around Nigeria, The DRC, Rwanada, Ghana, South Africa and Monte Carlo, he said "We just need some small working capital to get the money, yes, yes, in return we shall give your name a spot on the Arrowtech PF-1 car and 5% of the net profits that Arrowtech makes in the next 5 years, yes, yes.", hitting back at the flavours of the p-minus energy drink, he stated "We will make different types for every country we go to, yes, yes, P-Minus R for Abu Dhabi with real rose water and our special poppy blend, the exciting P-Minus PXS, a blend with Papaya, Peaches and Prunes and other secret fruits with our patented special poppy blend, yes, yes. We will also have P-Minus XXXX for the Australian market that has the flavour of a strong lager but no alcohol as long as it is not opened, once opened it ferments at 0.2% ABV per minute but it will still be suitable for the under 12 maket and P-Minus FATGIT, a caffeine enhanced, cola flavoured one for the US markets that comes in small, medium and large sizes of 2 Pints, 1 Gallon and 5 Gallons. We have already done a deal with a big burger chain to selll it in their resturants. Yes, yes, we feel that Arrowtech will have no reason to refuse to sell to us, yes, yes. I, the great Prince Falik, will bring success to Arrowtech, the University of Nigeria based in a council flat in London, have already designed a toaster and a front wing flap, made from the finest cornflake packet that money can buy, yes, yes, those lovely tasty Tesco own brand cornflakes, you could not pay a kings ransom for that kind of high tech materials. At this pace, we will have a car by practice of next season and have enough toasters to make bagels for everyone in the paddock. Yes, yes, Peter Windsor was a rank amateur compared to me, I, the great Prince Falik, bagel king of F1. Peter Windsor is not fit to lick my boots, let alone run an F1 team, which he failed to do, ho ho ho (continues for 68.2 minutes)...

Is Poppy Whitechapel aware that blend of her is being used in a drink created by an African "prince"? I think an investigation is required!

Prodrive to take over Arrowtech

British racing conglomerate Prodrive has taken over the Arrowtech team. The Arrowtech team, currently based near the Bombardier factory in Montreal, Canada is not expected to be moved to the UK in the near future and both drivers and most key personal are expected to remain the same during the transition period. "This is a big day for Prodrive as we have now entered one of the highest echelons of Open Wheeler Motorsport anywhere in the world" said Prodrive boss Dave Richards to the waiting media. "We thought about starting our own team but we decided that taking over the running of an existing team was a better idea and Arrowtech proved to be the best option. The team already has a crew of dedicated engineers, one of the best young talents on the grid with Daniel Martins and one of THE best drivers in the world in the form of Daniel Melrose."

[SuperAguri]

Prince Falik insulted at snub

Prince Falik was fuming at the Arrowtech snub, after spending weeks on wining and dining the Fox and giving gifts, he felt he should have at least heard a no, he shouted "That evil man, he wasted my, I, the great prince Faliks time and money and he could not even say, no to me, a thousand and one curses on him and his ex team. I am in talks with Callinetic and Prospec too, so hopefully my and the dreams of my people will come to fruitation.

[Aerospeed]

"PRODRIVE TAKEOVER RUMOURS FALSE, SAYS THE FOX"
The Fox, the owner of the ArrowTech team, which is up for sale, has dismissed rumours that Prodrive is taking over ArrowTech. "It is not available to be taken over by hostage, it is simply for sale. When asked about Prince Falik's offer, he simply said "I have looked at Mr. Falik's generous offer. I need more time. Shy away those people who bring in the tabloids! I apologize, Mr. Falik, your offer is very considered!" The Fox left the press after that comment.

[DanielPT]

Martins hopes for a quick ArrowTech solution

Martins said today that he felt recent speculation and comments around ArrowTech future could impact on next year's team performance. "We keep working hard at the factory. I am there every day talking to engineers as is my team-mate in a bid to obtain the best package. Nevertheless recent talks surrounding the team future and the future owners, raised concern amongst the guys since they all have their families and they don't know what will happen next. They currently don't know if their job is secure, if we are to move somewhere else or if the team will be restructured somehow. All this adds its fair chair of instability, impacting on the car. I think I speak for most of the guys when I say that all we hope is for everything to be decided as soon as possible in order for us to be once more entirely focused on the car."
