Looks quite impressive!

Oh snap, I get in anyways?

I'll get working on a livery for Racing Team Solvalou. (Even though I'm not very good at it)

Will there be Ridge Racer style sponsors?

MAYBE. I need time for the livery.

I assume the team is Italian, then?

Yup.

Racing Team Solvalou (ITA)
Engine: Zytek
Tires: Avon
#32 TBA
T/R: TBA

(Once I get the livery done, more will be announced.)

Too bad I don't use the BMW F1.06 in this series, otherwise the livery would've already been done.

Yup, i noticed that.

It wont be the traditional RTS look with the stripe and such, but a lot of it will be the same.

Nuppiz, I made some changes to the livery, some logos were a little bit out of place, plus I added a few details. Mind if you try this new one?

Thanks mate! This will be definitive Team Rojo's livery. Also, I would like to spent 30 credits on reducing 1 kg of added mass.

There's something about that livery which reminds me of the CART machines of old. Not that I'm complaining because they used to be awesome before it all went downhill from 03 onwards.

As you're a one-car team, you get it at half-price, i.e. 15 credits per one kg.

RealRacingRoots · Post by **RealRacingRoots** » 08 Dec 2012, 00:39

Okay, so my first ever Livery for a racing series is done. It needs work, I admit. If anything needs to be fixed once it's in LFS, you got full power to do so Nuppiz.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?rm4hb9r9zg9hoa6

Press release for the team will happen once the driver is signed.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 08 Dec 2012, 01:52

Well, there was only one thing that really needed fixing in m opinion - that being the logo on on the side of the nose, as in your version it got hidden under the bargeboard. I took the liberty to move it on the sidepod. Also, there's some minor stretching, but nothing serious in my opinion.

Yes, Aflac will sponsor TRE for Fern Bay only, Nuppiz.

OK, here's the Takagi livery with a couple of Aflac logos added:

And that reminded me to change MasterCard Lancia's livery to the special Martini livery for this round as well.

Sorry, no idea about the sponsor conflict. Do I need to change his personal sponsor?

Grands Traveaux Inutiles have agreed some minor sponsorship with ItaloSuisse Belgian chocolate. (one the most misleading product names of the world)

Nah mate don't worry about that! Considering half the F1 grid was plastered in Marlboro logos at one point or another, a couple of teams in the RoLFS with MasterCard on them is no sweat!

Three upgrades given to Solvalou, draining their budget to plain zero.

Adriojim, you're a one-car team as well so you can afford a maximum of three chassis upgrades. Wanna go with that?

Okay RRR, here's the deal.

If RT Solvalou (read: Dorval) finishes in front of a TRE, I'd put this for a month:

Question: Rei Ayanami or Reiko Nagase?

But if that did not happen by the end of the season, RRR, you must put this for a month:

I believe in Alexander Wurz. FACT.

Deal?

I can confirm now that Dorval has been signed to drive the R.T.S and a revised livery and press release is on the way. Does Dorval have any personal sponsors?

I had to check, and yes he does: Jupiler, TEC and VOO.

Oh yeah, I forget to clarify two things regarding the sig challenge, RRR:

For you to win the sig challenge, Dorval/Solvalou MUST finish in front of BOTH Takagi Racing Enterprises cars. So for instance if Dorval finished 4th, and Tojo finishes 7th while Tenpenny finishes 12th, you win. But for instance, if Dorval finished 5th, but Tojo finishes 3rd and Tenpenny finishes 16th, the challenge is not over yet.
You don't have to completely replace the sig - just put the sentence we agreed on the sig.

Autosport.com wrote:R.T.S. Sign Dorval
After being granted a seat in the RoLFS alongside Team Rojo, Racing Team Solvalou have confirmed that they signed former Hydook Racing driver Alexandre Dorval to drive the #32 Assoluto-Badged Zytek powered car. Team Principal and grandson to Enki Gilbert, Marco Gilbert confirmed the signing in a press release at the R.T.S Website.

"We wanted a driver who had experience at such a high level, as this is the biggest series we have entered since the RealRacingRoots championship entered Administration in 2005. We looked at our options and Dorval was the best driver on the market."

They also confirmed that current 2nd place in the Formula Abarth Championship Antonio Fazio, who drives for R.T.S in Formula Abarth, is the Test and Reserve driver.

R.T.S currently race in Formula Abarth and International V8 Superstars.

Also, you scare me FMecha. :lol:

At least I can presume you will Sabotage me at one point during the season.

Racing Team Solvalou (ITA)
#32 Alexandre Dorval (M) (BEL)
T/R: Antonio Fazio (M) (ITA)
Engine: Assoluto (Zytek)
Tyres: Avon

Plus One Group, headed by Luke Knight, has officially welcomed the two new teams of Team Rojo and Racing Team Solvalou to the championship.

"It's a very competitive series" said Knight "and therefore I wish them luck competing against the big boys. They may find it's a little harder than they first imagined"

Herrmann Mann, a key figure within the Plus One Group, also commented "Welcome to the series gentlemen, but don't expect us to give you any favours!"

Scuderia Vittore team boss Jose Braggia was confident of a strong relationship between the +1 backed Scuderia Vittore and the two new teams. "We awere new to this series, just like them, and only a few months ago too." he commented "Both teams look to be competently manage so that's a sure sign of something good" he added.

It remains to be seen whether or not these two new teams will expand into other RWRS formulae, or whether they can field an F1RWRS capable driver, but we here at rwrsupdate.com wish Team Rojo and R.T.S. the best of luck.
