F1RWRS -- 2014 Season

Question to Aerond: Do you have ownership of Jesus Plaza? Boxtel is considering driver options for next season and they need an agent to negotiate with. Plaza gets top priority over everyone else who wants the drive.

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 19 Jul 2012, 14:36

No, I don´t. I had to introduce Plaza in 2013 along other drivers when it was time to start the season and some team owners hadn´t name a second driver to their teams. But I guess I can "temporarily" manage him to arrange a contract with Boxtel until someone decides to take care of his career.

As I said, I will be OK with Groves signing with a team as long as Pointrox, who owns Hydook Racing in the ROFLS and also has Groves under contract, is ok with him going to F1RWRS. Unless Tristan has other plans, it looks as if Groves is likely to go to Boxtel.

It´s beyond me how Nathanael Spencer and James Davies will be left without a drive and other inept drivers are kept in instead :lol:

I could sack Nathan Scott for either - would you prefer that?

IMO JD's credibility has been ruined since he's at Trueba. His start at the 2013 Japanese GP was IMO a fluke. :roll:

My offer still stands on Davies becoming third driver! (Because I found out McCracken does not qualify for a Reject Licence)

Okay, now that I have dumped Moyenmoutier, I have a free slot to take over Jesus Plaza.

Oh wait, Spencer is available? Boxtel would like to sign him. Who's his agent? Get him on the phone!

I don't know if your being sarcastic or serious with that remark so I'm just leaving this alone now before you piss me off more...

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 19 Jul 2012, 17:18

Right, I'm sorry about this but I feel the need to say something here.

FMecha, you need to stop sending random emails out to people immediately. I don't care whether you're 'impatient' or whatever, your actions have got on my nerves in the past, and now there is solid evidence that you're pissing other people off too. Look at DanielPT's message, and just think about your actions. You have no right whatsoever to go around hassling people into posting in the thread, you don't run any of the series, and you've only owned a team for one season. You need to take a step back, chill out, and let Aerond, or one of the more senior team owners manage this issue, because otherwise we're going to have people leave because they can't be bothered with the hassle. If that happens because of your actions, then I want your team entry taken from you and handed to someone else, because you're just acting like an idiot at the moment. Many people have said it before, this isn't a new issue, so pack it in and keep a low profile for a little while so you don't piss anyone else off.

DanielPT, I want to apologise on behalf of FMecha, his actions are nothing new and are very much an isolated incident. Rest assured that everyone else has no problem whatsoever with your lack of time for this thread. I want to reiterate that there is no rush whatsoever to announce your driver line-up for 2015. Please take as long as you need to make your decision, and I want you to feel comfortable that there is no pressure on you. Your real-world commitments have prevented you from posting in the past, and that shouldn't have to change now. There is no obligation to post in this thread, only to announce your drivers, your chassis and engine, and any upgrades you want to make, when you feel ready to do so. I hope you haven't been put off participating in the series due to this incident, we're looking forward to having you as part of the F1RWRS grid!

I will:

Agree to stop sending out any emails related to the RWRS, unless on serious cases;
Agree to pay undisclosed amount of fines (by the Mecha GP team) of undisclosed amount of credits, subject to Aerond's approval;
In event of shut down of Mecha Grand Prix, agree to withdraw all RWRS entries run by myself;
And finally, agree to abide the community consensus[es] issued by the organizer and the F1RTA, and not repeating this incident.

Deal?

And check this out...

Nope...no emails and NO EXCEPTIONS. Series organisers will send emails if necessary.

As far as I'm concerned, the only person who should be sending out emails to remind people about the series should be Aerond, and if not him, then whoever he nominates to do so in his stead. I completely agree with Kostas that you should completely stop with any further emails. We all have no idea how you're wording them, but from what DanielPT has alluded to they can't be that polite. Maybe that's a language issue, but then that's just yet another reason why you shouldn't be sending that sort of stuff out. Remember, sending out emails to others who may have very sensitive personal circumstances could be very unpleasant and provoke a rather nasty reaction. You are failing to take into account any of this by doing what you have done, and that is why it is pissing people off. It's insensitive, often rude, and completely unnecessary. So please don't send anything else out from now on. Aerond has already stated very clearly that he is happy with team owners making their presence known only prior to the start of each season, anything else is a bonus, so that is how we will treat things.

If however you fail to adhere to this set of circumstances, and continue to send out emails to members who've been away for a little while, then I'll be the first to suggest a punishment of some sort. I think the public display of disappointment in your actions is enough of a punishment this time, but any more and I think you'll find other members being far less accommodating than they already are. If Aerond thinks something stronger is required, then that's up to him.

This may be lost among all the 'brouhaha', but on the subject of test and reserve drivers, Michael Cameron has no sporting ties at all with Prospec this season. The official Prospec test driver will be Du Lei.

No harm done. I probably overreacted anyway, due to work stress and stuff like that. After all, FMecha is just a kid trying to see things happening at his pace. I was impatient too. I still am in some cases. I rushed Daniel Martins into the spot, but if James Davies still wants it, I might throw in an offer (not too high though) of an year contract with 2 years extention. Martins would then swap for testing duties.

Not that it bothered me much, but the message included threats and stuff like that. It doesn't matter much now, it's just that I don't like to be threatened. Not that he could comply with them anyway.

Next time just tell me that I am required to come here and choose something in order for preceedings to advance!

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 19 Jul 2012, 23:11

I basically agree with everything AndreaModa said. I'd just like to add that any further similar behaviour by FMecha will result in a permanent ban to participate in any RWRS event.

Oh and, just for your information, by my calculations, Sunshine should either be very close or at the credit limit for 2015 so you're in fairly good shape. And until two days ago, Mr Melrose was the favourite for that second Sunshine seat :lol:

J.O.U.R.N.A.L wrote:EXCLUSIVE: Executive meddling impeaches Effendi from his position as Mecha Grand Prix's principal

In light of recent controversies of the team, and in a shock move, the executives of Mecha Grand Prix has voted almost unanimously to sack and impeach team principal Mahmud Effendi.

The team's reputation have been tainted after an averted lawsuit against former driver Saeed Al Faisal and a series of letters sent to other teams, allegedy for espionage purposes. Following threats of sanctions for the acts that 'could bring the sport into disrepute', the executive management of the team voted nearly unanimously to sack and impeach Effendi, blaming him for these acts. Some persons holding management roles were also sacked.

When interviewed by J.O.U.R.N.A.L, Effendi insisted that he had nothing to do with the lawsuit and the letters and blamed an executive management member, and called his impeachment "an executive meddling". The executive management team, when interviewed, insisted otherwise. "We have to meddle with team's affairs to protect Mecha Grand Prix's reputation" said a member of executive management.

The executive management has nominated Dominic Hermann as Effendi's replacement. He is a member of team's executive management, and he led the plan to fire Effendi from the team.

So yes, I just want to change the manager's alter ego. :twisted:

AUDI SPORT SHEDS LE MANS PROGRAMME TO FOCUS ON FRWRS

Audi's sporting division, Audi Sport, has announced it's leaving Le Mans Series with immediate effect, as well as stopping development of the new R20 e-tron, to focus on their work with the FRWRS, as official partners to Aeroracing Engineering, and working with Dofasco in F2RWRS.

"After achieving so many success during the last 16 years, including multiple Le Mans 24H wins, we feel it's time to move forward to our next challenge: the FRWRS. We're ready to step our game up and show the prowess that took us to the top of many motorsport categories around the globe, such as sporstcar racing, touring car racing and rallying", an Audi Sport spokeswoman declared.

The Audi Sport facilities will also be destined exclusively for the FRWRS operation, including the option of sharing development of Aeroracing's cars whenever the geographical situation of races makes it a viable option.
