Martin McFry has officially quit the series, although he will return for this one race.
Plus Ben Fleet is so upset and distraught at the latest race result that he refuses to compete in the Duel in the Desert.

Anyway, I'm happy to drive at the Duel again - it's where my career started after all.

Oh, on the contrary, I'm quite pleased that Zimmer managed to get one over on Davies; that was my second preference after him actually winning!

Another point-less year for Megumi. She will have her last laugh with Ligier/Prost in DOTD. Furthermore, she is looking for a testdriver job with Jordan. (Since Jordan does not have a testdriver this year, Eurobrun should not be pissed off )
Both Douglas and Takagi will be retained by Ferrari, and both will be at DOTD. Everyone at Ferrari is reportedly disappointed to see Douglas losing the WDC, but once again, he will stay.
Christophe Vans will be entered by Dome for DOTD. Patrese has stated he won't participate there, nor Anderson due to sanctions.

Ferrari needs to run at least one guest driver.

Glad to see Moreno wrapped that up, and as such, Williams offer him a new contract. We also ask our newest team member Andre Spokes if he would like to drive for us in the DITD

Can Ferrari have a third car for this purpose?
No. Go away. Play the rules like everyone else.

Seeing as I can't have third car for DOTD, Jack Christopherson will be on second Ferrari after Takagi apparently declined to take part on DOTD this year. (If I can have two guests, tell me, Tristan)

You can have two guests. It said so in the original post.

As Ligier's owners have also expressed an interest in his servies, he will wait until after DITD to make a decision on his team for 1998. But he is still interested in the Gauthier drive. But he'll accept the offer of a seat for DITD.

YES! YES! YES! What a way to go, I've always said that this car is good when it holds together! I LOVE beating the boring Woking brigade! This one is for the team, and for John - he's been an excellent team mate and together we got this car higher up the table than it should have been.

For the Duel In The Desert, Ligier will use their most motivated (and cutest) driver: Megumi. We wish Valsattis the best (ending up third in every race, behind both Prost/Ligier cars, that is) The guest driver will be Ron Mignolet, altough he is the brother of team-owner Dennis Mignolet, he is chosen purely because of his talent! He's also looking for a test seat somewhere, to combine with challenging for the F3000 title.
Now for 1998, as contract negotiations aren't going anywhere (neither Durand or Allen have confirmed yet), Voeckler can get a contract to drive at least the first half of the season.

Voeckler has an offer of the entire season with Gauthier. Either Ligier offers the same or he's not interested in the seat anymore!

It's your choice. I personally doubt that Gauthier will give you much more races, though...

Well, unless you can give me concrete numbers, forget about it. That applies to you too Gauthier. Voeckler would rather go to Minardi and be in every race this season than do a handful of races for a slightly better team.

As long as Voeckler isn't horribly incompetent like Anderson was, and doesn't crash out on a regular basis, that won't be a problem.

The F1RGP2C world is in shock today after driver Bernhard Pech has been arrested by British police for assaulting a Fish and Chip shop owner in Cornwall. According to eyewitnessth a reports Pech was unhappy with the quality and price of the food he recieved from David George's shop which led to a physical altercation between the two men which reportedly left George with a broken jaw. This will probably end the chances of him being on the 1998 grid despite his extensive funding from the BRP group. With the exception of a couple of races Pech was thoroughly outclassed by Pablo da Silva this year and lost his drive at Sauber as a result. Although according to an unknown source Pech believes that he is the victim and that George attacked him and he only threw his food.
More details soon

It does? Well, in that case, I'll let those two sort out where they want to go while I deliberate on some suitable candidates while on layover at Singapore tomorrow morning

James Davies is currently AWOL, but it can be assumed that he will want to run in the Duel in the Desert, since it was the site of his greatest victory to date.
Actually, it's just occurred to me that 2 of Davies' 3 victories so far in PMMF series have been storming drives from the back of the grid...
