No.

Scuderia Alitalia are the fairest team on the grid. We don't cheat, we don't maniplulate, we only fight injustices against our team in self defence. The rest of the grid just hates us for being so resilient and determined.

Now THAT is an unpopular F1RWRS opinion!

No.

What I meant by that is, they break out of Pre-Q and score points and the single podium. I doubt they will get mugged by Swedish Terrorists and merge with Prospec.

Just to clean up something on the wiki, does Kamaha, Foxdale and Boxtel have any official test or reserve drivers?

For the past few seasons, Pippa Mann has been the 3rd/reserve driver at West Cliff Foxdale, hence why she has ended up in the race drive on several occasions. But for next season, where she has a race seat with a rival team, West Cliff Foxdale will be without a reserve driver (at least in the short-term...).

We can lend you Raul Souto Maior if you're interested. It would be free of charge, he's steady and would fancy some F1 experience.

Not sure he has a Reject License though...?

Wait,

does Marie Simon have a license?

Yes. Her (?) best offer so far is a test driver role at ArrowTech I believe, so you may have a chance of signing her (?). DanielPT is her agent, so you'll need to ask him.

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 30 Jul 2012, 20:58

When did ArrowTech offer Simon a test role?

Ah well, she'll be welcome here.

Well, ArrowTech had been whoring themselves out to anyone without a contract lately, and I remember one team offered Simon a test driver role, so I just assumed...

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 30 Jul 2012, 21:46

Hasn't she already signed a contract with Shonan as their third driver for 2015?

And as far as reject licenses for test drivers go, while they're not mandatory, it's a matter of principle to have at least one test driver with a valid license. Mostly to make Aerond's life easier if drivers need to be replaced due to injury or suspensions and the team owner's not around to make that decision.

She did, I was just wondering whether she got a license or not.

She qualified after the Czech race last year, regardless of how badly she did after that point.

Aerond, could you give us any idea as to what the reliability range of the Izuzu engine might be? I've got a hunch it's either 0-12000 or 0-16000 but I'm not sure and the desirability of the engine as far as MRT is concerned will change dramatically depending on what it is.

Don't worry, it will have a specific number when the list is published.

So it's not being randomised after all? Interesting...

Now, time to get back to this BS Physics homework. :roll:

She never had any contacts with ArrowTech. And she already signed with Shonan some 4 pages ago...

Since I've gotten sick of continually having to cross-check the thread, this is what I believe is the waiting list for the F1RWRS:

1. This (Donkervoort)
2. Salamander
3. Pasta_Maldonado (Plus One)
4. andrew
5. Nuppiz
6. Jeroen Krautmeir (Precision Motorsport, presumably)
7. WaffleCat

Anyone else I missed?

I could have sworn WaffleCat was further up the waiting list than 7th.

It's entirely possible and, chances are, you're probably right.

Oh and I'll send you some draft plans later tonight when I've finished off my homework.

Nope. Pasta got in on June 22nd whilst Jeroen didn't apply until around the 7th of July. Not that either of them will get teams before 2025 mind you :lol:

Nope, he is so far the last to apply, 36 minutes after Jeroen Krautmeir.

This apparently withdrew his entry in waiting list.

Is that 2025 in the F1RWRS universe, or 2025 in real life?...

Knowing how long Aerond takes to do a season, it'll probably end up being both :lol:

Aerond · Post by **Aerond** » 01 Aug 2012, 16:50

Yeah, having in count that the time lapse between the first post in this thread and the race 16 of the season was around 8 months... I'd say not before real 2016... (by then I'll be a superstar producer and Wizzie will have led the series to its absolute ruin with the bmw engines). Again, F1RWRS tends to run faster in the real F1 off season so I'd say if we start 2015 season in september it should be over for the 2013 Malaysian GP.

That's why I once brought the issue of F1RWRS' future under your control.

While I can tell you from experience that F1RWRS has never been above manipulating proceedings for their own gain, I doubt that people would want to see that happen.
