And finally, (I think) the only team left without a car...

1&1 West Germany Art Car (Concept Model)

Half the cars still painted

No offence but that foxdale is really bad

None taken. Buthis is F1 Rejects, right? And my art skills are genuinely at that level... :oops:

At least it matches the team's (2014) F1RWRS livery. :shock:

Looks like it'll be a livery I'm going to stick with. :twisted:

Any news?

Some people actually have lives you know :roll:

Anyway, I'm waiting for the rest of the cars to get painted

RealRacingRoots · Post by **RealRacingRoots** » 03 Mar 2012, 23:52

Could we get a list of the cars that are yet to be painted and the requirements for those cars?

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 05 Mar 2012, 13:49

Just start this thing immediately, make the unpainted cars blank with team name and team number, as well as Powered by Lotus logo.

Can we finally start this please?!

Repsol Aeroracing Engineering

ZimSport

Every team has a livery now. Time to start the races...

Right, that's the (first and) last time I set up a second account, only to let somebody else take it over! My drivers in last and penultimate places! More than 4 seconds off the place! Well, really... Antepenultimate and preantepenultimate wouldn't have been as bad.

These tests are to test out the performance file, so if you are unhappy with how your driver is doing then please say something.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 26 Mar 2012, 12:06

The Parma Corse cars have slipped even further down the order!! :evil:

Also, you should probably start posting times, regardless of whether you are lazy or not, or people may get fed up (like myself). Knownig testing times would help everyone see whether the performance file is working or not.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 26 Mar 2012, 13:36

I am happier that McFry is 8th rather than last, and Eff One in 21st? If anybody read his articles in F1 News magazines in the 1990s, this is probably a fair position for him...

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 26 Mar 2012, 16:54

Something.

If my driver will be another reject here, I won't believe it. Seriously, in almost every single serie I have entered, my driver was rejectful so far.

Group Lotus · Post by **Group Lotus** » 26 Mar 2012, 20:55

I will post times for the next test.

I have run some more tests but i'm still not happy with the performance file. The first race will probably not be for a while.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 26 Mar 2012, 21:27

Well the least thing i can say is that i got a balanced driver pairing, 12th and 13th, and 12th and 13th again, and guess what my starting numbers are?

And I thought my drivers were very balanced.

Currently trying to work out the whereabouts of one Dany Bahar, so he can pummel him with papayas?

Group Lotus · Post by **Group Lotus** » 24 May 2012, 08:18

This isn't quite dead yet, I am hoping to have this ready by the time the 2015 F1RWRS season starts. In the meantime, if you have any announcements to make then please make them.

I have a question. Where the hell does this fit the series in the alternative universe? Is it in 2012 or 2015?

On second thought, I have decided to keep this in 2012 so I don't have to substitute a lot of characters.

Be bloody quick. I want McKane to race in the F1RWRS in 2015.

Oh this thread brings up childhood memories from when I used to draw up the paintjobs of cars to run in my own fantasy racing series, give names to the drivers and teams and design the tracks. Of course, those were drawings on paper ... fineliner and felt pens on squared paper mostly. Later, I only came up with drivers names to equip the grid of the Grand Prix 2 game from 1994. Some were rather hilarious like that Italian driver who legally changed his name after he had sold his naming rights to a German insurance company.

He must have been pissed off at being called Allianz rather than Alleanza...

LOL. No, it was even worse because I named him after a ficticious insurance company: Versicherungsholding
Now that rolls nicely off the tongue, doesn't it? ;-)

If it doesn't work out, MRT can get you in the F1RWRS by about 2017 or 2018 :lol:

This is getting VERY OVERDUE now. GL/Bahar, you promised to do this when the new F1RWRS season starts, and F1RWRS is now conducting its pre-season test. It has been months since last post here. IS THIS SERIES GOING TO OCCUR OR NOT? :evil:

(Sorry for capslock, by the way

)

Group Lotus · Post by **Group Lotus** » 30 Aug 2012, 05:57

I said all along that I hope to start this by the start of the 2015 F1RWRS season. But I am now goint to run this with xkorinate instead and I hope to have the first test up by this weekend.

Group Lotus · Post by **Group Lotus** » 31 Aug 2012, 23:52

Sorry for the double post, but I am thinking of restarting this with new entries for the 2015 RWRS season. Any thoughts or ideas?

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 31 Aug 2012, 23:54

I would be OK with this.

FMecha · Post by **FMecha** » 01 Sep 2012, 00:50

Not for me. :roll:

RealRacingRoots · Post by **RealRacingRoots** » 01 Sep 2012, 04:43

I'm not ok with this.
