Vacant seats you say?

A wild BENOIT VOECKLER appears!

Mr Winton wrote:We are shocked at the abysmal quality of standards here at South City. We at Winton Racing are very glad to hear Nathan is okay for the next race in Aston, and we're also very happy he's still amazingly leading the championship with half a point. Nonetheless, we strongly hope that the higher ups strongly consider removing South City from the 2016 calendar or at least use a layout without that blasted chicane.

Also, we'd like a further weight reduction, and the Winton livery is soon to be replaced - more on that later.

I think I've found a way to reduce the amount of accidents in South City - reducing the AI skill by one step from "pro" to "quick". Tests have showed that it makes the drives much less aggressive and more cautios, so there's a lot less incidents. Certainly not I won't run the Classic course with the "pro" setting because it results in races where luck determines all results, not actual speed. Another possibility is to run the heats on the "Town Course" layout, although even then I'd still have to reduce the AI speed because otherwise they'll constantly crash in the tight Turn 9 .

Chassis upgrade added - I recommend all teams to spend as much money as possible, because I'm more than likely to remove the whole credit system next season. This is because I want to make this more of a spec-series as the addition of chassis choices and new engines increases the amount of possible car combinations from 12 to 72.

Oh, then Richard Hershall will make his RoLFS debut.

Thanks for the offer. I think Hershall is off from F3RWRS duties for Aston.

a) has only driven in F3RWRS or F1RDS.
b) is quite good.
c) isn't Benoit Voeckler.

OK, how about Frédéric-Maxime Voeckler? He's still got plenty of potential at the young age of 50 (he was born in 1966). You get his son as part of the deal!

Or on a more serious note, Nobushige Fukuda? He's still looking for a full-time ride next season, but Fukuda is also hoping MRT will offer him a full-time contract in either RoLFS or F3RWRS next season. But he'd also be interested in driving for Fusion...

Just to make everything crystal clear, I have the following two drivers looking for seats next season;

Gianluigi Pazzini
Diego Mauricio Batistuta

Pazzini has podiums from his half-season in F3RWRS and is currently racing for RonDen in F2RWRS. However he is not being retained for next year and wants to side-step to RoLFS.

Diego Mauricio Batistuta had a good first weekend at the last round with MRT, one of the few people to keep his nose clean.

Pazzini is interested in the drive, and will bring cash from FIAT Group if Lancia (rebranded?) engines are used by De Friis next season.

De Friis-Lancia... Sounds quite good. If the proposal of new rules for 2016 happens, it's likely to be rebadged.

Winton Racing website wrote:New livery for Winton Racing
We at Winton Racing wish to promote change, not hinder it. Our excellent Nathan McKane has shown he is very much capable of succeeding, and considering RoLFS is a mere feeder series we are more than happy to let him leave the team next year for F1RWRS. Because of this news, we've decided to change our livery up a little bit for the rest of the season.

First and foremost, while we're still keeping the black, we have added some green in to show our new partnership with Monster Energy, who have been impressed with our strong performances as a new team and mostly impressed with dominating the opening round in Blackwood. We're also promoting in house band Amphobius - we feel its very important to promote our own music on the car as well!

Our logo has also changed and it will be staying like this for the foreseeable future.

Lastly, Ragnar Larsen is associated with the team and we left him out for the testing sessions - Nathan got a special livery just for him for the races and Larsen didn't get anything for his testing appearances. This has changed and Larsen now has his own livery. It's just changing the name on the wing and adding his name and flag to the side of the car, but we feel its important to treat everyone equally. This was also brought up in the case that Nathan wouldn't be able to make Aston or any future races. Whilst we're glad Nathan is okay for Aston, we are still unsure about the future considering the accidents that have happened recently in South City. We are very confident that if there are any accidents in Aston they will won't be as bad as the ones in South City. We at Winton Racing are disappointed in the event and not the drivers - we don't have any bad blood with Jung or Torrente who were involved in the accident with Nathan, though the same may not be said for the drivers themselves.

But enough of that, see you in Aston! Enjoy the British racing green, too!

So uh, yeah. Here's the liveries:

Jones Racing would like to sign Brinson up to the team as official reserve driver immediately, with Brinson subbing for O'Heagan who is both injured and excluded from the next race. After that, Jones would look to sign Brinson to a full time drive in 2016, alongside either Massinion or O'Heagan, depending on results over the rest of this season. This would depend on the nature of Brinson's sponsorship package, and his performance relative to Massinion in the next race.

Kamaha Motorsports on signing Nathan McKane have decided with their partners to sponsor Winton Racing, NEC will pledge moeny to feature on the side pods and air box, whilst Kamah will feature on the nose. However Winton Racing have not got back to confirm if they have accepted the sponsorship so nothing may come about this.

As you know from our previous update, the cars have had an overhaul of the liveries. Recently we were given a deal with Kamaha as Nathan is moving to them next year, involving putting the Kamaha logo on the nose as well as the NEC logo on the airbox and sidepods. We've only just agreed to this and the logos can now be found the car. In addition, McKane's personal sponsor, Gigawave returns after a brief absence!

Anyway, this is just a 'small' update on the previous one. Again, see you in Aston!

Superb, that's a deal then. The sponsorship from Amsoil and Snap-On currently clashes with existing team suppliers Castrol and Beta respectively, and therefore neither logos will appear on the car for 2015, however Motorola will do, and Snap-On will be on the 2016 car when the deal with Beta comes to an end.

So Nuppiz, Matt Brinson will replace O'Heagan for the next event and here is the updated livery with Motorola logos on:
