What we do (as a band) falls between Electronica, Dance-Punk and Indie-Pop; we admire bands like Lcd Soundsystem, Digitalism, Cut Copy or M83, if that helps.

RACE

Finally! A long season for some of the drivers, who couldn´t wait enough to go and drink caipirinhas all night. Martins was so eager to do it that he "forgot" to qualify the car... Douglas Mann did a decent start while Pippa Mann managed to pass Kay Lon, who decided to imitate Mark Webber. Mark Dagnall passed Katayama as well. At the back straight Pippa Mann decided she had waited too long and took the lead.

The first few laps happened without many incidents at the front (Watkinson and Respati having to pit for mechanical reasons), but Kay Lon really wanted to end his season standing out and he spun off the track, falling to 24th... Gary Cameron was the first man to retire, followed by Mori. Melrose decided to pit first on lap 21 while Kekkonen lost sometime trying to figure how Tommy Nash had unlapped himself...

Miss Katayama retired on lap 23, to Sunshine disgrace, while Douglas Mann, Jones and Lon were the only top drivers to go for one stop. Kekkonen managed to pass Jones for 4th on lap 26, then Shizuka passed Jones as well and one lap later the Castrol painted car failed altogether. Meanwhile, Kay Lon got stuck behind De Bock before his pitstop almost at the same time Douglas Mann retired once again.

The Fox decided that Caipirinhas weren´t going to be enough for a proper party and so another DNF came from Pippa when she had a nice lead. Caipirinhas with barbecue taste better.
Lon finally managed to pass De Bock on lap 35. Lon came into the pits two laps later and managed to exit 7th behind an impressive Groves. When Moll came into the pits for the 2nd pitstop on lap 44 Lon passed the Gillet comfortably but didn´t manage to beat Shziuka on lap 46. Mark Dagnall kept the lead after his second stop and only some sort of a car problem would stop him from scoring another win.

But the race wasn´t totally over as the retirement galore at the top positions came in this last part of the race. First De Bock, then Moll for another Gillet double DNF. Then Kekkonen ending his short FAT adventure on lap 54. Shizuka had to pit to solve a problem on lap 57 and lost the 2nd place to Kay Lon. Then, on lap 63 Simpson retired from 5th place and as it seemed Steele would get the 6th place he suffered a problem with the brakes and gave the last point to Rhys Davies... but only for two laps, as the new tyres helped the Kamaha driver achieve one last point finish before the end of the season!

FASTEST LAP: Pippa Mann (Foxdale) -- 1.23.624
ROTR: Daniel Martins; couldn´t qualify his car while rookie teammate got a brilliant 4th place.

FASTEST LAP: Kay Lon (Sunshine) -- 1.34.730
ROTR: HRT -- Constructor 2nd place contenders didn´t qualify one car and Watkinson suffered a lack of top speed to be able to do anything.

About as inevitable as Foxdale going on to either win or, more likely, double-DNF.

And great to see gender equality in the top 4 in both sessions - 50% male, 50% female. Go Pippa! Go Shinobu!

Martins claims someone sabotaged his ArrowTech

Daniel Martins, following his DNQ, claimed in a organized press conference, along with his agent Pierre Moreau and his race engineer Mark Smixley, that someone with paddock access tampered with his powertrain. Showing photos of what looks to be the gearbox he used at qualifying, he explained that "in this photo we can clearly show that the gearbox case screws where tampered due to portraying signs of extreme wear made possible by someone reckless. In this next photo, we can see a broken gear which prevented me from using the top gear. Gearbox was completely new and this gear looks to have been destroyed by human interference. Telemetry showed that the gear would not engage since we left the garage. Given time shortage and the lack of another gearbox, we decided to try qualifying like this anyway. Obviously it didn't worked...". Daniel Martins chose not to answer when asked if this possible act could come from within the team preferring to enhance his commitment to ArrowTech in rough times. The conference ended when Moreau said that they were studying the next step which included a possible F1RWRS commission official investigation or even a criminal investigation.

There is indeed something awful going around these places in recent times, starting with me getting fired two races before the season ends and now goes up to the straight-up manipulation of cars. I for my part am the Best In The World at what I do, so I can struggle against the evil forces by sheer driving talent alone, but weaker drivers just cannot do this and get screwed out of their chances. We must remain vigilant lest this series becomes the playball of forces with dark intent.

Here's some rumours for you, because I feel like writing a bit.

The Sun wrote:Pippa Mann To Strike Huge Deal?

Newest rumours in the paddock say that current Foxdale driver and defending F1RWRS champion Pippa Mann is to strike a huge deal with Nike which is to be announced soon. The deal is supposed to involve, aside from the obvious multiple attendances at Nike marketing events, a huge commerical to be send all over Europe, very closely to resemble the former "Tell Me" commercial done with Michael Jordan. Currently, no Foxdale staff was ready to make a statement regarding this deal, but Nike admitted that they are looking at a possible F1RWRS deal due to the series becoming more and more popular with crowds "normally out of reach" for advertising campaings of this kind (editor's note: hipsters).

The Sun wrote:500 Miles Race In Spa Planned

According to an insider within the F1RWRS Council, negotations with the owners of the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps are underway involving turning the Belgian F1RWRS Grand Prix into a 500-miles race, just like the Indy 500 or the non-championship Budweiser 500. 500 miles would mean 115 laps around the circuit. While some question whether doing so would be a good idea with the lack of reliability in the old reject cars, officials are sure it can quickly become one of the biggest racing events of the year.

And since I don't feel the silly season doesn't do its name justice, have two of these as well:

The Sun wrote:Adrian Sutil Set For Acuri Autosport Deal

According to our sources, former F1 driver Adrian Sutil has signed a deal with the newest F1RWRS effort Acuri Autosport. Sutil, who partnered Acuri at Spyker/Force India both in 2007 and 2010, seems to be out of Formula 1 after his 2013 run with Williams turned out awful with him losing his place at the team two races before season closure. Adrian Sutil himself said that he has a "number of options" which according to German media include, aside from Acuri's team, "multiple" F1 teams, a DTM drive with BMW or a new car run by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

The Sun wrote:Kay Lon To Return To Kamaha?

After being released from Jones Racing, the German Kay Lon is one of the biggest free agents on the market. His Sunshine deal is currently only for the last two races of the year and while Lon has announced his intention of driving with them for 2014 as well, there is no deal currently on the table as indicated by Lon being a participant in the ArrowTech shoot-out. Despite their fallout in early 2013, Kamaha boss Bari Morii must be aware of Lon's noticeable skills. Being asked about a possible return, Lon laughed heartly at first. After he had collected himself, he said that he does not have a problem with the Kamaha staff at all, only with the "so-called management", so if things were to his "liking", he would consider a new Kamaha deal "an option". We had no chance of talking to Morii or other leading staff of Kamaha about this yet.

And they think that if they can get Nike to sponsor my team, that might help to sway my mind. But I am NOT getting my mammery glands out for anybody but Ben. If Nike still want to sponsor the team, then that's up to them, but that will be wholly independant of The Sun.

Jones Racing's Daniel Melrose has told autosport that he wants to stay with Jones Racing for 2014. The Australian however also said he his considering his options for next year should a full time drive at Jones Racing doesn't come to fruition. "My main goal for next year is to stay on at Jones Racing. Sammy runs a great outfit and the operation is remarkably similar to the structure at MRT, probably because they're both driver-run teams. We also share the common goal of trying to win this world championship after being so close in the past." Said Melrose. "That being said though although Jones Racing is a priority other teams are interested in my services and I am considering their offers. In the end it's up to Sammy as to whether he wants to keep me for next year or not." Melrose wouldn't say where he could go next year if he doesn't stay at Jones but rumour has it he'll either go to Flying Fish or Prospec.

Barii Mori phoned us up and had a 30 minute rant, but the nub of the conversation was that he rather stick a great dane dog in the car and race with fire ants in his race suit and killer bees in his helmet then to offer the seat to Kay Lon. For next season he has said that it is likely that himself and Nicolas Steele would be the two drivers driving for 2014, although this does depend on various sponsor deals.

Prince Falik the saboteur?

Website, F1 Detects, has published an alligation that Prince Falik sabotaged Daniel Martins car, the evidence they show is that Prince Falik had a screwdriver in his hand and was in the garage before the mechanics arrived as well as showing him smile when it was shown the Daniel Martins could not qualify after he posted his final time. Prince Falik is currently in a royal engagement in Nigeria and could not answer these aligations. Arrowtech have not returned our calls.

Kay Lon to Sunshine?
After his recent performances, it is likely that Sunshine Infiniti will stop being the Japanese dream team and hire a non Japanese driver for the 2014 season. Although Kay Lon was not specifically mentioned, a PR person we spoke to said "Yes we're are looking at signing a driver with talenet and championship winning abilities. You know I could not mention names but he could eat some Sauerkraut.". It is known that Shinobu Katayama has be resigned and that it is rumoured that Barii Mori will sell the entry and team for FAT Turbo Racing to Hagane Shizuka for $1.99 but Hagane will have to buy a Chassis and Engine.

Without meaning to be a troublemaker, I thought part of the point of F1RWRS was that 'real' drivers weren't involved...

Anyway

Mystery consortium linked with Prospec buyout

A mysterious group of businessmen calling themselves the Pemberton Consortium have reportedly made a bid to buy the Prospec F1RWRS team. Despite facing competition from Belgium in the form of both multi-millionaire Jo Colruyt and a more mysterious bid from Herstappe, the Pemberton Consortium are said to be confident of acquiring the Kent-based outfit. Although the identities of the men making up the consortium have not been disclosed, rumours continue to circulate that current Prospec driver Gary Cameron is in some way involved in the takeover bid. Neither Cameron nor the current owners of the team were available for comment as they prepare for the Brazilian GP, which the former world champion will start in 15th position, one place behind teammate Dave Simpson.

A magazine wrote:ADRIAN SUTIL CONFIRMED FOR ACURI
Andrea Acuri has announced that his second driver will be another former F1 driver, that being of the German Adrian Sutil. The 30-year old has been out of a job for the most part of the 2013 season and will be a pay driver for the 2014 season. "Adrian is a talented driver with a lot of sponsors coming with him," says the head of Acuri Autosport Andrea Acuri, who himself is another former F1 driver. "He even has more sponsorships than me! I always welcome a talented pay driver on my team."

Exactly. Andrea Montermini and Alex Zanardi weren't allowed in. Just make up a random name (that is obviously not an anagram or minor change).

Neither was Robert Kubica for that matter

We could call him Adrian no Subtle

, but yeah, No F1 Drivers is basically a rule of thumb.

By the way, I´m actually surprised nobody has tried to sign The Stig

Would he be made to be the most epic driver of all time? Because then I'll sign him for HRT :twisted:

I think that's the exception that proves the rule because I am currently under the assumption Dr Baker actually has a sibling called Pippa

True point, so this will occur:

ADRIAN SUTIL FINDS F1 DRIVE, TELLS ACURI TO SOD OFF
According to the major sources, Adrian Sutil has found a drive in F1 (with a team yet to be named) and has now quit Acuri Autosport. Andrea Acuri has said that he is "very sad, for he has used me, and I am the fool." This leaves the second Acuri seat very open. Andrea Acuri has said that he'd prefer a pay-driver to help fund the team. "It's the only way to get more money," says Acuri.

TEAM PHOENIX SIGNS THE STIG FOR NEXT SEASON

In a shock move that has left all the F1RWRS paddock on its wake, Team Phoenix has managed to lure jack of all trades/master of bathplug all racing driver The Stig for next season, and as a pay-driver, no less. The move will mean that Ron Mignolet, from Belgium, is out of a seat for next year. Some sources link Mignolet's dumping with some disparaging comments he made about team owner and driver, Phoenix McAllister, about his fitness.

McAllister himself says: "We are delighted to have The Stig with us. He's unfazed by all this, but that's the way he is, however."

Ron Mignolet was unavailable for comments about this decision.
