Takagi Racing Enterprises will not be allowed to take park in the Round of Germany due to incompetence from the management. Nurminen Racing Engineering, as the first team on the reserve list, have been given the oppurtunity to race in their place, which also makes them eligible for the teams' championship for the remainder of the year.

And THIS is exactly why I always maintain that I'm the nicer of the two. Not by much though as I'm still a complete arse most of the time anyway

Well then. I won't be entering Võsu or Lappalainen in Germany as both need a bit more time in the F1RDS. As Enrico Molinaro failed to pre-qualify for the F2RWRS race, he ought to have plenty of time to participate in F3RWRS instead (unless I'm mistaken, he should still be eligible with only 7 starts and 8 entries in F2RWRS). For the second car I would like to have Ragnar Larsen, but if that puts kostas22 over the five-driver limit (which it very likely will), it'll be offered to Jules Vergne instead.

Chassis and engine choices will remain the same, and the livery will be the one I made for the Spa SuperPrix. If I'm allowed to pick new numbers, I'll just have 91 and 92, but I'm fine with the SuperPrix numbers as well.

Molinaro is indeed eligible for the F3RWRS drive at Spa. Whether Larsen will get the second seat however is entirely up for debate

I see no problem with Molinaro, and I think for one race kostas can go over the limit (it's not like he's going to get a full-time drive, and Vergne's covering for Lamberigts anyway). I'll let you have 91 and 92, for now and at Spa and Surfers.

I don't think that's for you to decide - wouldn't it have to go to the F1RTA?

We tend to let the limit slide for the SuperPrixs on the basis that with 20 extra entries on average, it's simply too hard to religiously police

It's one friggen race, can we not do this? The whole point of banning Takagi was that he was taking too long! (Yes, I see what is wrong with that)

Bugger, didn't notice Vergne was reserved.

In any case, should there be no temporary exception for kostas for the German round, would it be possible to enter Larsen under my quota, as I still have one slot unused for this race (Molinaro, McCracken, Kuntz and Nurmester being the four other drivers)?

That should be fine on the basis that you take him under your quota on a permanent basis.

Fine, seeing as McCracken's career is most likely completely over, at least in the RWRS world, I guess it wouldn't hurt too much to have another one of Kostas' drivers under my management. :lol:

This is, of course, subject to Kostas' approval.

Following this turn of events, I've decided to slightly alter my Spa SuperPrix entry. Jari Lappalainen will move to the #91 car, while Ragnar Larsen will be entered in the #92 for Spa as well. So Anu Võsu won't get her F3RWRS break just yet.

So we can exceed the driver allocation limit for SuperPrix? So then, beyond Joao Antonio Soares and Samora Mondlane, I will present a new Brazilian driver driver, 17 years old, fresh from winning the Brazilian karting championship: Bruno Massa.

I really don't care about their numbers...

About Joao Antonio Soares, I've said he would race for two races about a race ago, so that is a keeper. But I now confirm he will drive until the end of the season for the team. Since Soares will probably go into F2RWRS the Bruno Massa dude will almost certainly team up with Mondlane next season. Hopefully, he will have more competitive engines... :roll:

Let me say this loud and clear here: As long as kostas agrees to hand Larsen over to Nuppiz permanently, NOBODY is exceeding their driver limit for Spa or any other weekend, full stop. Any further discussion, take me to the F1RTA thread.

So Naufal will be reinstated by Belgian GP. And SuperPrix seat will be vacant.

Why would you need to do that? TMLW clearly stated that the only reason that you have been kicked out of F3RWRS for one round is because you took too long to decide on a driver. I know you have problems with your laptop, but if you posted your new driver along with a reason for why you took so long to reply, I'm sure that would have been above board. TMLW is trying his best to run this series, he's doing a great job IMO, a fantastic job even - and I know the stresses of running a series, so I can understand his frustration over your deliberation. And then to consider, and publicly state, spamming him with emails over a mistake you made, makes no sense to me! Now I'm not the best driver manager on here, or the best roleplayer, and I'm susceptible to mistakes, but I try to be clear with my decisions. The same thing is going on in F1RMGP WEC. People are beginning to get frustrated with your deliberation and reversal of decisions. You need to be more clear in your decisions, if they go well, they go well, and if they don't - they don't! After all, this a virtual universe, created for all of us to have fun when we get home from school/work to relieve stressful work, or whatever.

Now don't get me wrong, this is not a personal attack, just some advice FMecha. I think you need be more attentive to what is going on and to stick by your decisions.

Indeed, firstly because annoying the living crap out of Lappy is MY job. But more importantly, he's already annoyed enough as it is so it'll end up achieving a grand total of sod all.

OK, I didn't have any big plans for Larsen (was trying to line him up to replace McKane in RoLFS in 2016 as he's Ilmor's test driver), so I'll release him for Nuppiz to manage.
I'm surprised it took this long for anyone to notice I was already over my quota anyway

Especially because of my personal motto: "The more you bug me about doing something, the less likely I am to do it."

I'm not sure whether FMecha was joking about the spam thing (I don't check my emails anyway, so I wouldn't have noticed), but I see that and now you're lucky if I don't turf out TRE for the rest of the year.

I will run the first race of Norisring (finally!) today.

I can think this one out, going to have to write it down to figure it out...
Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen
Gianluigi Pazzini
Olafur Ragnar Hannesson
Alessandro Lucarelli
Carsten Jancker
Diego Maruicio Batistuta

So it's only when the SuperPrixs run than I go over the limit. Pykalisto being Prospec's third driver makes it seven, and with Miccoli racing for Parma Corse, that makes it eight.
