I agree. Wouldn't it be better to cap the entries to 46 and then allow 30 starters? That way, only 16 cars DNQ

Finanz-Sichereit Konglomerat, the mysterious bank alliance which in the past has been known for such oddities as the Life GP Series and the FSK racing team that competed in the Prost GP Series, has bought a 49% stake in Nurminen Racing Engineering, according to sources from inside the team.
The deal will see FSK getting a non-majority stake in the team in exchange for a sum rumored to be around 10 million euros, paid in four separate installments. Reportedly the deal was put forward by Niko Nurminen himself, after the huge repair costs from the F3RWRS Spa SuperPrix put a lot of strain on the team's already tight budget. Also, the team is getting increasingly prepared to join the F1RWRS as soon as the opportunity arises, having already submitted an entry for this year's non-championship Baltic Sea GP. This obviously requires a lot of money, of which FSK has no shortage of.
It is expected that the deal will result in a number of Swiss sponsors appearing on Nurminen's cars in both F3RWRS and F1RDS.

I just really went for it from the start, but was careful not to screw up like I did in Brands Hatch, and it worked really well. From all the debris, it looks like it was a pretty crazy race, so it's probably really good that I qualified on pole position - I should do that more often. Also it's really awesome to be back on the podium, because these other guys have been there all the time, but I haven't since like the second race, so yeah. Really awesome to be back here, and hopefully Monza will go just as well!

Barii Mori wrote:Nick Nurmester is a fantastic one lap specialist but only one lap the race laps are slow. He has no further talent in F3RWRS, especially as he finished behind both the other drivers depsite being 30 places in front of them at the start and behind Victoria Desai who has an enforced pitstop and should have finished much much higher. He should probably look for a real job and do sunday racing or something, on this note Anita Harford gets her race seat back. Bob Sampson had a chance to show that he had some real talent, but he dropped the ball so it is back to the reverse driver status.

You could always give him a career change, sending him packing to RoLFS and see if his fortunes change over there!

Yeah well, even if he somehow lucked out there and got a superlicence, should his F1RWRS be calculated based on his F3RWRS performance he would still be quite rejetful. Perhaps he could be useful for some team stuck in PreQ who would be happy enough to at least qualify for a race every now and then.

AndreaModa wrote:Nuppiz, if you'd rather put Nurmester elsewhere, I'm more than happy to accommodate that. He could instead switch to Jones' RoLFS team as there's bound to be at least one slot open there for 2016, or if you'd rather go back on the deal we made that's fine too. No point running a driver if its not worthwhile and its owner isn't having fun!

Mazzacane Motorsport not present at Surfers Paradise
Team principal José Pablo Mazzacane comfirmed that Mazzacane Motorsport won't be cometing in the Surfers SuperPrix. "With only 22 starters, there is only a very little chance of qualifying with the Dallara-Zytek we used at Spa.", Mazzacane explains.
Meanwhile, Thiago Mazzacane has accepted an offer by Fusion Motorsports to drive the third car in the Surfers Superprix. "I want to thank Fusion Motorsports for the chance to drive the third car at Surfers Paradise.", says Mazzacane, who made his F3RWRS debut at Spa.
He is currently looking for a permanent F3RWRS seat for 2016, otherwise he would compete in RDS next year.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! A PORTO WINE SCORED POINTS ON MERIT! To go with his point for fastest lap at the Norisring, Joao Antonio Soares made THE greatest start of all time to gain no less than 20 places by the time he got to Della Roggia. From there he did a brilliant job of passing everyone to get to 7th place, and a very much deserved two points.
Oh, and Mondlane was racing, apparently.

Ragnar Larsen is definitely the last one of your drivers I'll ever take under my command. As McCracken and most likely Kuntz as well are permanently heading out from the RWRS series (unless Kuntz suddenly gets an offer from RoLFS - which is highly unlikely), it means only Larsen and Molinaro are left from your ex-drivers. And Molinaro's seat is not secure at all either...
