I hope you don't mind Klon, but I'm not going fancy with this livery. It's quite simple really. Gunmetal Grey with dashes of a colour which appears to be called "Sex on the floor". Don't ask, I don't understand either :lol:

I can only imagine the creative process behind naming colours...

Tempted to invoke Baker's Law, but shall resist for now.

Erm, ok, it seems I have forgotten F1 history. It basically looks like this (but with less white), is that a problem Klon?

No, I don't mind at all - Midland-style livery, that's neat.

Kostas, have you got a link to the livery baseplate? If so I'd like it please as I need a new livery for Kingfisher and not Mitie.

I do, but it's in PSD format, so you'll need Paint.NET and the external PSD plugin for it. Link.

Speaking of which, TMLW, here are the BITW liveries;

#40 | #41

You'll have to join the waiting list. Which as far as I'm aware, comprises of eurobrun, BlindCaveSalamander, me and BaconLettuceNinja. There are probably more I've missed

One series where there are free spaces is Rejects of LFS, you can enter a one or two car team. Some teams also have spare drivers you can sign on loan, or use your own instead

eurobrun already has a team, and I think it was Backmarker who also wanted a team, so he'd be before you. Although remember guys that there are still 5 spots for drivers that you can go for, or you join the RoLFS like kostas said.

@TMLW Can you please post some screenshots of the BITW car so I can see if I need to make any corrections?

I will at some point, since I have GP4 all perfectly set up to run the Indy 800 (read: I'm about 25 laps from finishing it already because I'm impatient :lol:

), so when that's done I'll get screenshots of the car and all the other ones I haven't shown (which I think are the Porto Wines, Prospecs, and maybe the ZombieKarts, I can't remember).

my mistake, I thought he didn't have one judging by his eagerness to gain a team in F1RWRS. And that's fine with me, I don't mind waiting. Maybe there should be an official waiting-list for RWRS teams , so people don't get confused and/or unwittingly jump the queue.

I have a F3RWRS team, it's just so crap that it is not worth mentioning.

Prospec finally confirm 2015 driver lineup

After months of uncertainty, Pemberton Prospec Racing have at last announced their drivers for the 2015 F3RWRS season in a press release published on their website today, reproduced below.

Prospec press release wrote:Pemberton Prospec Racing are delighted to announce their new F3RWRS drivers for the 2015 season. We are delighted to welcome

#0 Dan Greenlaw
Dan demonstrated all of his considerable talent last season when he was brought in as a mid-season replacement for Humbert Moyenmoutier at ZombieKart. Despite the injury he sustained at Norisring, he went on to record a number of points finishes to build on his podium finish on debut. We have fought hard to bring Dan to PPR as we believe that he is the ideal man to spearhead our defence of both championships.

#2 Nathanael Cameron
PPR are delighted to welcome on board the third member of the Cameron racing dynasty. Nathanael is the cousin of Gary and Michael, but unlike his cousins has taken a more orthodox route into motorsport having begun at a very early age. 12 years Michael's junior, Nathanael has plenty of time to realise his potential, of which he has plenty. Although he perhaps lacks some of the composure and consistency of his cousins, many of us believe that he exceeds them in terms of absolute outright speed and we are looking forward to seeing how he adapts to this level of motorsport.

While the signing of Greenlaw from under the noses of ZombieKart will be seen by many as a significant coup for the English team, questions are likely to be asked over Nathanael Cameron. The 18-year-old will be under pressure to prove that he is in the team on merit and not because of his name and family ties.

On the subject of the livery (if this is not too late), please could I have a livery which combines purple, orange, royal blue and white with the following sponsors:
Sainsbury's (title sponsor)
Eibach and Fidanza (classic Prospec sponsors!)
Royal Purple
KH-7 (the HRT sponsor)
Prospec (because why not!)

Good news! I already did the Prospec livery. I'll get pictures soon, but basically I made the cars look similar to the original F1RWRS livery, with Greenlaw's car orange/white/purple and what is now Cameron's orange/white/blue. Eibach and Fidanza are already on there, so it shouldn't be too hard adding the other sponsors.

Are there any free driver seats left?

Four, I think. Two at Kingfisher, one at ZombieKart and one at Best In The World Motorsport.

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 05 Jun 2012, 16:51

In that case, may I promote the services of my drivers, Dutchman Martin van der Maaeyede, who comes with KLM sponsorship, and Japanese Takuma Taki, who comes with free sushi catering.

For future reference, there is a limit of 5 drivers per member in all RWRS competitions. But yeah, you can try and persuade a team to take a driver of yours.

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 05 Jun 2012, 17:27

I am interested in Takuma Taki, but there are two "if"s to his signing:

* my major target Judd McAllister is not made available by Phoenix
* you modify his backstory to include a (short, if you want) stay in the European F3 Open

So, Taki's job with BitW pretty much depends on phoenix. :lol:

Short? You're talking about 2-time champion Takuma Taki here! :lol:

Also, where has Phoenix dissapeared to recently?

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 05 Jun 2012, 20:40

Guys, I'm in the middle of final exams. Serious shite. But I can make Judd McAllister available to you if you wish. Word to the wise, though - he hasn't inherited the talents of Callum, Rory or Phoenix.

Kingfisher Junior might be interested.

Well, then I am sorry pasta for getting your hopes up, I need Judd for Kay Lon's not-actually-evil masterplan.

www.sportschau.de wrote:Judd McAllister Joins BITW

According to his homepage Judd McAllister has signed a contract for a F3RWRS drive with Best In The World Motorsport. The German team confirmed this after an inquiry by international media. McAllister will join 32 year old Anita Horford and run the #40 car.

"This is a great opportunity for us to have a young talent, perhaps the best McAllister there ever was," a spokesman of the team said, "and for him to learn from experienced personnel such as Colin Kolles and Kay Lon."

Kingfisher Junior might be interested.

2011 British formula ford - 1st, 4 wins
2012 British Formula Renault - 2nd, after missing 3 races due to injury, 3 wins
2012 British Formula 3 - 2 races, 1 3rd place
2013 British Formula 3 - full season, 2nd by 2 points, 4 wins
2014 Formula Renault 3.5 - 1st, 6 wins
He's now 21

Klon, all's fair in RWRS and war :lol:

Also, to anyone who still needs a driver, two time F3 champ Takuma Taki is available

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 05 Jun 2012, 21:57

Red Bull are interested in Takuma Taki, but they will probably not be that fast.

(if you accept then I will sack Gregor Pascal)

Warren Hughes · Post by **Warren Hughes** » 05 Jun 2012, 22:27

Pasta, F3RWRS is probably on about the level of GP3, I'm not sure it's realistic to have a FR3.5 champ with 6 wins to his name coming in at such a low level. Maybe scale it back a bit (FR2.0?)

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 05 Jun 2012, 22:31

Kingfisher Junior sign van der Maaeyede.
Mr.Alexander today announced the first signing for the Junior team, Dutchman Martin van der Maaeyede. "We were contacted by his agent who expressed his drivers interest in joining the F3 series and we were more than happy to talk. Martin's progress through the British racing scene is promising and his dominant Championship win in this season Formula Renault shows he's put his injury well and truly behind him. We look forward to developing his racing skills further."

The F3RWRS is open for anyone to list their drivers or just the ones who has teams in the other series (which is not my case)?

Carsten Jancker actually has a season of GP2 as experience! But his story is rather like Grosjean's, he went up the ladder very fast and fell off, and is starting to climb back up again...

Neato

So I would like to enter Stephanie Brown (USA) to the series, bringing sponsorship from Target and Reliant Energy. She has a good background form Mini Sprints and Sprint cars and race at F-Renault 2.0 USA before going to the same category in Europe. In 2011, she ran the FR3.5 with two wins
