Autosport wrote:Kamaha trucks turn up at Rockingham track
Kamaha motorsports have made a last minute entry to the Rockingham test with trucks rolling to the track the day before the test. No one quite knows why Kamaha are testing but there are rumours that Kamaha want to prove their speed and test more to stop the car failing halfway during a race. Drivers to attend will be Barii Mori, Nicolas Steele, Jesus Plaza as well as the F3 drivers Victoria Desai and Bob Sampson.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 21 Oct 2012, 15:08

Let me get this straight: Kamaha and Jones are going to test at the same track, with McAllister's Aeroracing Engineering, who's still upset with Mori's defection from Team Phoenix in 2012, thrown in for good measure? :twisted:

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 21 Oct 2012, 15:46

Will the entry list (http://f1alternate.wikkii.com/wiki/6th_ ... ngham_Test) be changed soon to include Phoenix McAllister then? :lol:

Autosport wrote:THE FOX EXPECTS IMPROVEMENT IN DRIVERS
Following another race with no points, ArrowTech boss The Fox says that Mirko Bosevic and Saeed Al Faisal, who drive for the team, are currently underperforming. "We have one of the best cars on the grid, and only one point to show for it? Zis is ridiculous." Rumours are circulating that if Al Faisal doesn't improve in form, he will be sacked in favour of another pay-driver, though nobody from ArrowTech-Acuri has yet to confirm this.

Kingfisher Racing pleased to be on target.
Mr.Alexandrr has been away for two weeks recently, but found time to comment on his teams performances in recent races. "To be out of pre-qualifying early on, and to now be in the lower midfield in main qualifying is our target for the year. We are taking small steps all the time. Barring any catastrophic performances, I don't see us returning to pre-qualifying yet. Ashley has now found the pace to lead the team, whilst David continues to improve race by race. The future looks good for now."

Wizzie, does the verbal agreement with Nicolas and Neuberg swapping for 3 races still available?

The agreement's still available. In fact, MRT have already green-lighted the deal after San Marino and we've just been waiting for Mr Alexander to return from his promotional tour of Egypt.

Meanwhile, rumour has it that as a result of the tour, Enppi and EgyptAir are looking at becoming major sponsors in the F1RWRS, with Enppi allegedly about to become the title sponsor of Boxtel.

So the deal will go ahead after Monaco for rounds 5, 6 and 7 (Mexico, USA and Canada) yes?

That is correct. And if Nicholas decides that writing off your car is good idea, MRT will cover the costs

Actually can someone add Fakkinen to Autodynamics for one of the tests as I think everyone is OK with him being loaned out.

Need I remind you Fakkinen is on a one-race rolling contract. I'm fine with him testing for Autodynamics but if Fleet decides to be a complete arse yet again, Scuderia Alitalia reserves the right to recall him and promote him to one of our race seats.

Autosport wrote:HRT in turmoil after Skaife steps down
Shortly before the Monaco Grand Prix, HRT team principal Mark Skaife announced he would be stepping down with immediate effect. Skaife said today "I have decided to leave the Holden F1RWRS Racing Team to focus on my role in V8 Supercars in Australia." The move has left HRT in turmoil as they scramble to find a new principal. While the team did not make a formal announcement, it is believed that Skaife will also sell his 25% stake in the team. Currently, 50% of HRT is owned by John Zimmer, while the other 25% is owned by GM Holden. It is also thought that Zimmer will fill in as principal until a permanent replacement can be found. HRT have currently scored no points this season, but have had a car finish 7th in all three races so far.

All is not lost yet, young Eurobrun. Fakkinen is probably a step up from Groves in my personal opinion unless Aerond's random number generator has given him some shocking stats to work with. And if all else fails, you can always go back to that muppet O'Lauchlan :lol:

Actually, come to think of it, how many credits do you have because if you have any left, I'd invest it all in Cannon's qualifying performance

Hardly any credits I think, I would have got some credits from O'lauchlan at Adelaide but other than that I'm not sure.

Mostly for Aerond's reference, here is, to the best of my knowledge, all the driver changes pre-Monaco.

Sunshine - OUT Martins, IN S. Katayama (Her team-imposed suspension has expired so I'd assume that she'd get the nod unless the contract's been terminated altogether)
Revolution - OUT Van Dycke, IN Simon
Autodynamics - OUT Groves, IN Fäkkinen

Kingfisher announce new sponsors.
Novartis, a consumer company, have signed on as sponsors for the remainder of the season. Mr.Alexander has been in Egypt recently, visiting places like Hurghada and Aswan, tying to drum up support. Rumours of Egyptian mobile phone network Etisalat offering a deal may be true, but as Kingfisher already had an agreement with O2, the deal could not be finalised. Other companies that have been in touch include A2B, a travel company and Hyundai, where 75% of cars owned in Egypt are from the Korean company. "Again, another sponsor here and there does not hurt things. We've gained quite a collection this year so far, and our performances on the track have helped massively", said Mr.Alexander.

A current rumour doing the rounds in the F1RWRS paddock is that struggling team Simpson Motorsports will be losing it's main sponsor Gulf Oil at the end of the season due to their lack of exposure on race weekends, and that they'll be sponsoring another team in 2016. Team owner Dave Simpson was unavailable for comment.

And with Mallya in all sorts of strife with his consortium and the F1RWRS' popularity in Northern Africa and the Middle East growing due to the presence of Al Faisael, suddenly Mr Alexander looks like a genius.

I have seen there're too many participants (max 28 drivers, or 14 entries-2 drives per entry) in the Rockingham test, I'm running the tests at the moment, so, in order to be fair to everyone, only the first 4 drivers in the list for every team will take part in this test.

FOXDALE

Douglas Mann
Martin McFry
Pippa Mann
Peter Port

AERORACING

Pippa Mann
The Stig
Tanner Jason
Nick Nurmester

JONES

Sammy Jones
Rosco Vantini
Jack Christopherson
Terry Hawkin

AUTODYNAMICS

Damon Cannon
Dean O'Lauchlan
Dieter Hallestein
Mika Paasonen

KAMAHA

Nicolas Steele
Barii Mori
Jesus Plaza
Bob Sampson

FROM NOW ON -- IF MORE THAN 2 TEAMS IN A TEST, MAX NUMBER OF DRIVERS PER TEAM WILL BE 4.
