Plus One Group, formely PSRT, lead by Luke Knight, have lodged an official entry bid to the F2RWRS supremos to compete in the second-tier level of the RWRS. The anouncement comes days after the absorbtion of PSRT into Plus One, and the group's entry plans for F1RWRS. Plus One CEO Luke Knight was optimistic about the deal before we went to press. "We feel this is the best direction for Plus One to take, and that a prescence in junior categories will help with our plans for F1RWRS." These announcements come in the wake of a failed lawsuit against the team in the form of Volvo*. "Of course, Plus One is 100% legitimate as both a team and driver management and development. A team in the F2RWRS will allow our young drivers signed to our scheme some time in high powered cars. F2RWRS is the best preparation for the F1RWRS definately, the series bosses have done a great job with how the series is run, and I feel that Plus One would be foolish to miss out on the direction they're taking" Plus One Group already have a team in the ROLFS, Scuderia Vittore, and rumours were circulating that a possible F2RWRS entry would compete under that banner. "No, no, Plus One will compete in F2RWRS as Good Call Racing because of our backing from Foster's." Knight assured "Scuderia Vittore are looking good for this season, Luigi [Vittore, SV team principle] and Jose [Braggia, SV team manager and close friend of Luke Knight**] are doing a wonderful job with the team and our young drivers, but ROLFS is all they feel they can do for this season. Plus One are hoping to enter the F2RWRS as soon as possible, whether that means buying out a struggling team, or us being allowed to join this season, albeit with the introduction of pre-qualifying, we'll see."

Mr Knight really is turning out to be a bit of an ingnoramus when it comes to RWRS. Firstly, the Polestar Volvo debacle, and now trying to enter F2RWRS after all the new teams slots for 2015 have been filled. I expect it will be 2016 before you get in :lol:

Well, there's no harm in trying :lol: That's mainly due to me not being on the forums then, or not realising what was happening!

Pretty sure the tender process of new teams for the 2015 season in F2RWRS started after you joined the forum, so you arrived in time but ended up missing the boat on thos one :P

More to the point, there's an enormous backlog of applications for the F2RWRS and it works on a first come, first serve basis. Thing is I have absolutely no idea who's on that waiting list anymore :lol:

From memory, you're either first or second but that depends on where Mr Salamander is on that list.

Also, the F2RWRS Commissioner Tom Douglas is planning an announcement concerning the entry list for 2016 within the coming weeks.

As long as people aren't allowed to jump the queue I am probably going to be ok with the new entry announcement.

You may even have to wait until 2017 as I know that I am before you on the waiting list and I think a couple of other people might be as well.

Despite MRT's testing program at Barcelona not starting until the end of the week, MRT boss Daniel Melrose has arrived at the Catalunya track and has heaped praise upon Scuderia Alitalia's Andrej Kremnicky, stating that he'll be the favourite for the F2RWRS Championship and that he'll become one of the sport's all time greats. "First of all, Dofasco made a monumental error in letting the kid go so early into the silly season as it's obvious he's got a load of talent. That being said, full credit to Alasdair's mob for realising just how special the kid is and giving him the equipment that he deserves, especially after how he recovered magnificently from that Istanbul smash. The kid's gonna be a future legend of the F1RWRS in my books, which will make it all the more special if MRT can recover from their patchy off-season form thus far and somehow go back-to-back in the F2RWRS. We know that Michael and Alessandro are more than capable of podiums and wins but we simply haven't been up to par with the likes of Alitalia, Simpson and Beirao. Either way, if 2014 was anything to go by, 2015's gonna be a cracker in the F2RWRS."

Yes, but he wasn't testing this time, so there was nothing for him to comment.

Whits wrong wae a wee episode of him going mental doon the pub in Govan?

Anyway, there was always an unexplained one year break between 2011 and 2013 where McCracken did nothing, and now I have something to fill it with thanks to Craig Whyte and David Murray! At the start of 2012 he went mental when Rangers went into administration and was detained in hospital under the mental health act when he found out the club was going into liquidation. He eventually recovered over the the next six months to race again in F1RWRS.

F2RWRS Barcelona Test 1 - Day 1

The morning was an effective washout but even so, all the teams got plenty of running in the wet conditions as they trialled the new Michelin intermediate and wet tyres. There were surprisingly few incidents but the red flag brought the morning session to an premature end when Enrico Molinaro shoved Micko Glotch off the road into the run 1 gravel trap, earning himself a $5 000 fine in the process. The track started drying soon after lunch and the timesheets soon resembled a fruit machine before Scott Davidson beached his Kingfisher car at Turn 3 bringing out the second red flag of the day. Soon afterwards, Gianluigi Pazzini had a scary suspension failure at almost 170mph down the front straight bringing out the third and final red flag of the day.

At one point, Andrej Kremnicky and Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen in the two works Lancia were last and second last, well over 6 seconds off the pace by they eventually recovered to finish 1st (Kremnicky) and 4th (Nieuwenhuijzen) by day's end. Tommy Nash finished the day in 2nd, under three tenths away from the leading pace whilst Terry Hawkin and Johannes Rueckert completed the top 5. Aston Martin's pre-season of woe continued with Tomo Kazama and Micko Glotch only 12th and 13th in the 18 car field while Pazzini beat Lamberigts for 8th and 9th.

1. A. Kremnicky (Altilaia-Lancia): 1:28.197
2. T. Nash (Young Lions-Holden): 1:28.458 +0.261
3. T. Hawkin (Jones-Aston Martin): 1:28.528 +0.331
4. B. van Nieuwenhuijzen (Alitalia-Lancia): 1:28.578 +0.381
5. J. Rueckert (Hydook-Aston Martin): 1:28.578 +0.381
6. H. Shioya (Jones-Aston Martin): 1:29.033 +0.836
7. C. Simpson (Young Lions-Holden): 1:29.144 +0.947
8. G. Pazzini (RonDen-Lancia): 1:29.216 +1.019
9. W. Lamberigts (RonDen-Lancia): 1:29.274 +1.077

Enrico Molinaro is utter garbage. There's a reason Alitalia sacked him y'know :lol:

Three tests, three 1st places for us. This is going to be a great season I think :mrgreen:

Then your calcuation formula for stats is really bad, Pazzo was MILES better than Molinaro in F3RWRS.

Also, where are the other four teams? Why aren't they testing?

Actually, Gigi's got almost 400 points on Molinaro in qualifying and over 200 in the race. It's just that Molinaro is consistently crap whilst Gigi's more inconsistent. :lol:

The BMW teams weren't allowed to participate in the first Barcelona test to give the new engine manufacturers more track time to catch up in terms of experience.

Quick question guys: I've already run one wet-weather simulation so far but I want to run another one. Do you guys want me to run it for day 2 or day 4 of the Barcelona test?

And you've just reminded me of the big announcement I was supposed to make. There's rumours abound in Barcelona that F2RWRS Commissioner Tom Douglas is about to fly to Madrid to announce one and possibly even two new entries for 2016 amongst a whole raft of rule changes.

Oh god :lol: this'll be interesting. I'm expecting one team to kick up a fuss as usual :lol:

As for which day to run the wet, I'm not bothered.

Red Bull World Race Team actually. And I just really don't want you to jump the queue and get an entry before me.

The 15th entry for 2016 will be given to the first one on the waiting list. Which I believe is Eurobrun unless I am mistaken.

Autosport wrote:Jason, Bellic stripped of F2RWRS Competition License

Amid growing speculation about how the rule stipulating the amount of drivers each manager/driver management firm can run is to be policed, F2RWRS Commissioner Tom Douglas has taken the unprecedented step of revoking both Tanner Jason's and Niko Bellic's competition licenses until further notice as the Phoenix Management Society (PMS) continue to deliberate how to best deal with the five driver cap, with six drivers currently under contract. This means that they can still test for Aeroracing but neither of them can race in the series unless one of them is either transferred to another driver management program or has their contract terminated by Aeroracing. Neither the commissioner or Phoenix McAllister were available for comment on the decision.

Phoenix, Y U NO SACK THE STIG.

Will they be allowed to compete if Phoenix gets rid of one of his other drivers?

Yes they will. It's an issue that was brought up over a month ago and has remained unresolved to this day, so we may as well
get it out of the way whilst we still have three or so weeks to sort it out.

Phoenix should just sack Tanner Jason tbh.

Although, I have an idea from football that will revolutionise the driver quota system. Co-ownership. :lol:

It doesn't confuse me, it just annoys me. In FM11 Genoa still has 50% of Andrea Ranocchia, and it doesn't matter how much freaking money I offer them, I CANNOT BUY HIS OTHER HALF. Preziosi you b*****d!

F2RWRS Barcelona Test - Day 2

Iberian sunshine greeted the 9 teams participating in the first half of the Barcelona test and they took full advantage of it to start getting some early running done to make up for the loss of yesterday morning. The early running didn't last long however as, yet again, one of the RonDens brought out a red flag with Gigi Pazzini's Lancia powerplant blowing up spectacularly around the back of the circuit, ending his day after just eight laps. The cleanup took nearly half an hour and by the time the red flag was withdrawn, it became clear the track had gotten significantly quicker. Andrej Kremnicky was the early pacesetter with Tanner Jason, having just heard that his career was on the line, drove like a demon possessed to go second on the timesheets.

The green flag running lasted all the way till just before lunchtime, despite relatively harmless spins from Tommy Nash, Wojciech Cieslar and Tomo Kazama all in the first sector. What did bring out the red flag however was the sister Dofasco of Alexey Buyvolov having a wheel undo itself seconds after leaving the pits, giving the teams a slightly extended lunch break. After lunch, Johannes Rueckert led the train of cars out the pits shortly before his transmission called it quits at turn 3 which brought out the red in very short order. Extracting the stricken Hydook from the turn 3 gravel trap was a trivial matter however and the teams soon got some very good mileage out of the cars whilst also confirming this year's Michelin tyres were indeed slightly harder than last year's compound.

The first half of the afternoon session after Rueckert's failure was relatively quiet with the exception of Scott Davidson going for a quick spin at turns 11 and 12. That all changed however with two red flags in quick succession for Kremnicky also having a wheel work itself loose, apparently unconnected to Buyvolov's problem earlier on, and Tanner Jason who arrived into turn 5 backwards when the transmission locked on him. After that second red flag, the times tumbled across the board with F3RWRS champion Kazama ending the day fastest, the first time all year where an Alitalia car hasn't topped a session. They were still right in the hunt though with Kremnicky and Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen 2nd and 4th respectively, sandwiching the Jones-Aston Martin of Terry Hawkin. Tommy Nash rounded out the top 5 with the two Aeroracing drivers of Jason and Niko Bellic, still trying to comprehend the magnitude of Tom Douglas' announcement, coming within 2 hundredths of the Young Lions car.

1. T. Kazama (Aston Martin): 1:29.852
2. A. Kremnicky (Altilaia-Lancia): 1:30.248 +0.396
3. T. Hawkin (Jones-Aston Martin): 1:30.342 +0.490
4. B. van Nieuwenhuijzen (Alitalia-Lancia): 1:30.406 +0.554
5. T. Nash (Young Lions-Holden): 1:30.619 +0.767
6. T. Jason (AeroRacing-Audi): 1:30.626 +0.774
7. N. Bellic (AeroRacing-Audi): 1:30.631 +0.779
8. A. Lilly (Kingfisher-Holden): 1:30.760 +0.908
9. M. Glotch (Aston Martin): 1:30.814 +0.962
10. E. Molinaro (Hydook-Aston Martin): 1:30.874 +1.022
11. C. Simpson (Young Lions-Holden): 1:30.970 +1.118
12. W. Lamberigts (RonDen-Lancia): 1:31.145 +1.293
13. S. Davidson (Kingfisher-Holden): 1:31.217 +1.365
14. J. Rueckert (Hydook-Aston Martin): 1:31.347 +1.495
15. A. Buyvolov (Dofasco-Audi): 1:31.359 +1.507
16. H. Shioya (Jones-Aston Martin): 1:31.480 +1.628
17. W. Cieslar (Dofasco-Audi): 1:32.057 +2.205

Ashley Lilly:
"It was good to have some decent pace today, and to finish inside a second and in 8th is promising for the year ahead. It'll be a learning curve for myself and the team, but as long as we can be satisfied with our own performances, then it'll be a success.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

This comes as a shock to me. I thought I had no troubles with my driver quote.

Anyway, if I have to sack someone, it'll be, much to my displeasure, Niko Bellic. Tanner Jason might be an arse at times, but he's faster than Bellic and has a lot of potential in my opinion.

Of course, this means there's an available seat at Aeroracing. Any offers?
