I'm fairly certain other drivers have won in the intervening period. Now, other American drivers...

You know what I mean.

Jake Legge wrote:I'm really pleased with Leandro and Marko. After a distinctly average qualifying they produced a pair of top recovery drives and Leandro chalked up his first points. We've crept up to 4th in the Constructors' Table and 6th in the Teams' Championship - under the radar somewhat but it's really good to be there in our first ever season. We hope to continue to challenge the top half of the points on a regular basis; getting a few podiums in the bag would be quite nice too.

Pippa Mann wrote:Yes, we were pleased with both you and Peter Port today. He allowed you the extra point as you are higher in the championship (his choice, not ours!) which keeps you 2nd in the championship, and 7 points from the championship lead. A very mature performance from both West Cliff drivers. Now let's see how you go in the Foxdale tests back in England tomorrow...

Sammy Jones wrote:Another shocker of a performance today, I can accept it to an extent from Roberto because he's still green, but Swerts is on borrowed time. He hasn't scored a single point so far, and hasn't come close either. It's embarrassing, and his exploits in the F2RWRS aren't attracting praise either. As such, should he fail to qualify inside the top 20 for Monaco, and perform to an adequate standard, I'm afraid he'll have to look for a drive elsewhere.

Still the chassis we built looks nimble and the Yamaha badged Zytek engine looks really fast, I bet best in the world motorsports had it now.

The entry list for the Monaco SuperPrix is now open:

Any team who entered the Round of Turkey can field a third car for Monaco. This car will not be eligible for team or constructors points. Any driver who meets the F3RWRS eligibility rules may be entered.

These drivers will not be able to score drivers points.

ONE-OFF TEAMS
Any entrant who has not entered the season may run two cars that are not eligible for team or constructor points. The same driver regulations apply.

Prospec keen on Pykälistö for Monaco

Pemberton Prospec Racing have reportedly asked the permission of Scuderia Alitalia and F1RDS team Nurminen Racing Engineering to run Finnish driver Tõnu Pykälistö in the F3RWRS Monaco Grand Prix where teams will be able to run a third car on a one-off basis. Pykälistö is a member of the Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra and has enjoyed an impressive start to the F1RDS season for Nurminen, scoring points in all three races including a win in Race 1 at Imola. Scuderia Alitalia and Nurminen Racing Engineering were both unavailable for comment at this time.

Niko Nurminen wrote:While we certainly would like to see Pykälistö in a bigger league as soon as possible, we'd also like to keep him aboard for at least the rest of the current F1RDS season, as he's looking likely to be a championship contender. If he were to start an F3RWRS race now, that would immediately make him ineligible for F1RDS as per the current regulations. So unless the F1RDS management is willing to give him a special dispensation, I'm afraid we'll have to kindly decline your offer.

Of course, the final decision power resides with the management of Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra, given that we have only loaned Pykälistö from them.

The F1RDS allows special dispensation on the basis that it's a one-off thing.

On that note, Fusion will use Jari Lappalainen in the #111 car.

Well then, in that case Nurminen Racing Engineering has nothing against Pykälistö's Prospec drive.

Monaco SuperPrix: April 9-12
RoLFS Round of Blackwood: April 17-19

In other words, all RoLFS drivers can take part in Monaco without causing a hassle with the calendar.

Also, rumor has it that Nurminen would like to test a couple of drivers as a one-off entry in Monaco.

Why put someone in the third car if you haven't got someone to replace Lamberigts yet?
I need a number though (and you too Melrose!)

Yes, if I get less than 22 extra cars.

Kostas, you wouldn't mind if I took control of Stefan Kuntz, last year's RoLFS driver who got sacked mid-season? I would like to enter my team in Monaco as a one-off, but I'm a bit short on young drivers, as my only driver who is under 35 years old and doesn't already have other RWRS commitments is Anu Võsu, and I don't think she's ready for this just yet. Although I still have to figure out somebody to fill the second seat, at least I wouldn't have to create two new drivers for this. Just give his age and a bit of backstory and I'll do the rest (wiki page etc.).

I've got 18-year-old Tommi Hämäläinen waiting in the wings for a seat...an ex-Eurocup FR 2.0 winner and Formula Ford champion. If you want to use him, be my guest.

He's all yours, I had no plans to ever bring him back to, well, any F1R virtual series. Here's his bio that I copied and updated from near the start of this thread;

#TBC STEFAN KUNTZ
AGE 27
ORIGIN Deutschland
HISTORY 2011 WTCC (SEAT) - 13th; 2012 WTCC (SEAT) - 9th; 2013 AutoGP - 2nd; 2014 FR2.0 - 11th & RoLFS 12th

Stefan Kuntz has had a rather unusual career progression - after moving to the UK in his early teens he started driving in the Ginetta Juniors, followed by the G50s. A couple of good seasons in BTCC led to a customer SEAT drive, but after so-so results switched to single seaters series AutoGP, finishing an impressive 2nd in the championship with 3 race wins. He stepped up to Formula Renault 2.0 and had also been hired by Virgin Inter Corse for their F3RWRS programme simultaneously. When the team folded he lost his planned F3RWRS drive, and was hired by VIC's buyer Scuderia Alitalia to race in the resurrected Rejects of LFS season, on loan at GTI. One win and 12th in the championship was not enough to secure his seat however, and was released by the Scuderia Alitalia young driver programme, after only managing 11th in FR2.0 the same year.

Okay, that's good. I need some backup plans as it is looking increasingly so that all of my current RWRS drivers have little hope of continuing beyond this season. But at the same time I don't want to create new drivers myself because I'm awful at writing backstories and want to keep my drivers at least somewhat interesting. If all else fails I'm ready to change the RoLFS rules so that I can enter it myself to secure at least two of my drivers a racing seat. :lol:

Here's my entry for Monaco then:
Nurminen Racing Engineering
Chassis: Dallara
Engine: Zytek
Drivers:
#191 Stefan Kuntz (GER)
#192 Tommi Hämäläinen (FIN)
