How about 22 DNQs and the normal amount of 44 race starters?

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

SRMP wrote:FSK buys stake in Nurminen

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.


New liveries will be made in time for the next F1RDS race (Italy) and F3RWRS Surfers SuperPrix.

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! :D

I am going to tell you right now that all Alitalia-contracted drivers are not going to be participating at Surfers - with the exception of race drivers that are contracted for points paying seats. That includes my own, it will be just Hannesson and Lucarelli competing.

Before Wizzie gets the chance to ask...yes, you can have a loan of Fukuda again to replace Brown.

Looks like I have to accept my team's rubbishness (although the thing to be blamed is bad luck). :|

Aurico Autosport, meanwhile, has took over 25% of Takagi Racing Enterprises's shareholding in the F3RWRS team. The team should be known as Takagi Racing Enterprises with Aurico Autosport and I will talk up a new livery idea. :)

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.


Re : Surfers Paradise Superprix.

Could I make a suggestion that will be popular with the middle and lower ranked teams but not so much with the top ranked teams?

As we will only have 22 starters and 26 teams (as of the Spa Superprix) could we have it so only the fastest driver from a team qualifies? This way every team has a reason to watch the race and it would mean interesting grids...

Despite all the effort I put into Nick Nurmester's profile and meaning him to be my main RWRS driver, he turned out to be shite as the poorness of his race performance is greatly exaggarated. Unless his form suddenly changes, I doubt anyone will want to hire him after 2016.

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 stats be calculated based on his F3RWRS performance he would still be quite rejectful. 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.

You could take him across the pond to the F1RICS, he might be good with IndyCars

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! :)

Well, at the moment Nurmester is still set to drive for Jones in the 2016 F3RWRS season. I'm merely asking TMLW to perhaps modify Nurmester's performance file a bit (remove some of the qualifying performance in exchange for more decent race performance). :)

Lads, I've managed to get a nice side-on shot for the Fusion FM-301 page. If you want me to make you a similar one, drop me your livery file.

Here's the example:

Right, now as we approach Italy I need to confirm the driver changes for the round:

For JLD, who's going to replace Brown and will Melrose come back (If Wizzie doesn't get back in times I'll just put Melrose and Fukuda in).
For Gulf JCW, is Buckley driving the car again.
For Octan, is Lamberigts going to return.
For Dofasco, is Pitea coming back.
For Takagi, is Tenpenny going to drive in Naufal's place again.
For Kamaha, will Horford drive the car, knowing that I've changed Nurmester's performance.
And any other changes you plan on making.

(Yes kostas, I tested the livery, there should be a picture tomorrow :) )

Well, as she got banned in RoLFS too, a return to F3RWRS (until the got banned for good) will be the best option for her. Also because she's the only one who seems to be able to do something with the car.

I was planning on doing that anyway, simply because I cannot think of anything else in the known universe that would even be an improvement on that. Considering how rubbish the team has been this year, that speaks volumes.

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.

Round of Italy - Race 1

Prospec
Greenlaw admittedly lucked in to this one, only taking the lead because of Souto Maior's bad luck and Swert's caution. Still, a win's a win, especially when most of his rivals faultered. Cameron spent the day stuck in the midfield.

Aeroracing
Souto Maior led the first two thirds until his right rear tyre exploded on the main straight, costing him victory. To make matters worse, Gary Pacer was the first DNF of the race, his front suspension collapsing under braking for Della Roggia on lap 3.

Jones
Swerts once again close to a victory. When Souto Maior's tyre blew up, Swerts slowed to avoid a collision. This backfired, as Greenlaw simply went past the pair of them at full speed. At least he held second place. Just. Dinella ran well, but was a sitting duck to faster cars.

West Cliff
Jordan Davies got mugged off the start, and on lap 4 his race ended in the wall at the Parabolica. He had been passed into Ascari by the fast starting Reatherson, and tried to go down the inside at Parabolica. He lost it under brakes though, and made contact with the Linton-Solindahl, sending both into the gravel, which spectacularly failed at slowing them down, putting both out of the race. Port, after his poor qualifying, made his usual fight back to 10th, not helped by running wide at Ascari at one point.

Takagi
Nowhere and nowhere, although at least Takagi made 25th.

Octan
Poor old Lamberigts had zero luck today. On lap 3 she was spun by Zimmer at Rettifilo, and later speared off at Parabolica, although this was her fault - she looked to go inside Sokolov, but pulled out, turning hard left. Straight onto the grass. Then hit the brakes. All control lost, she disappeared into the scenery, but managed not to hit a wall. Bainomugisha was much more impressive. 14th doesn't sound like much, but the Geely is easily the weakest engine in the field, and none of the other three Geely cars even made the top 25. This was after he picked up some penalty points for punting off Zimmer at Rettifilo on lap 2.

Porto Wine
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.

Kingfisher
I have no idea how Davidson struggled to qualify the F2 car, because he's done a very good job in the F3, as evidenced by another run just outside the top 10. Hell, even Calvin Brooks was decent for once, taking his first top 20 of the year.

ZombieKart
Walsh's brilliant start backfired when he was caught up in a collision between Melrose and Harmsky on lap 2, that saw him drop down the order, and have to fight just to get back to his starting place. Hershall was on target for a top 20 before he spun at Parabolica on the last lap, defending too hard from Jancker.

Parma Corse
Hannesson had a very strong race, the only downside a slightly sluggish start. Still, 5th is some very handy points for Parma Corse. Lucarelli, on the other hand, struggled for pace a bit, only gaining a few spots.

ZimSport
The championship leader couldn't quite keep up with Souto Maior, Swerts, Greenlaw and Piscine, but was still much faster than Hannesson and took a fairly safe fourth place. Zimmer retired on lap 4, but still picked up a fairly healthy haul of penalty points, for almost taking out Cameron when rejoining after being hit by Bainomugisha, and then some more for punting off the other Octan of Lamberigts.

Fusion
Oh dear. Marko Jantscher had some work to do to get to the front. That became an impossible task after spinning at Ascari on lap 1. Why? Because a certain teammate of his hung him out to dry. Kuntz did sod all afterwards, while Jantscher had another spin, this time at the Parabolica after running wide at the exit.

Gulf JCW
Davidson was just plain slow, losing ground rapidly to everyone including Buckley, who at least managed to get to just outside the top 20.

Best In The World
Verbeeck very nearly picked up a point, but was denied at almost the last second by Travesen, with a last ditch dive at the Parabolica. McAllister's day was also ruined by a Linton-Solindahl, the wheel from Reatherson's crashed car finding its way onto the track, right in front of McAllister. He hit the wheel, destroying his front wing, and he spun off, bouncing off the outwide wall and onto the track, hitting Nurmester, and losing his rear wing. He pitted, then came back in a few laps later with further damage, but fresh tyres and the most powerful engine on the grid at least gave him a point for fastest lap.

Good Call
Piscine made a pretty good start to get ahead of Melville, and stayed ahead in fourth all race, which became a podium after Souto Maior's retirement, and very nearly second place after a poor run out of Parabolica for Swerts on the final lap. Thomas Yorke however also got unlucky in the Davies/Reatherson clash, but indirectly - he hit the remains of McAllister's front wing. For what it's worth though, e did show very good reflexes to not only get into the pits but also to hit the speed limiter in time.

Linton-Solindahl
Reatherson's race ended in the wall next to Davies, but Travesen's pass on McAllister for 8th left the team with something from the race.

Dofasco
Holy crap! A Dofasco beat other cars on merit! Cezary Samelko might actually be a half decent driver, beating Ristic, Naufal and Davidson on outright pace. Maylander was much less impressive, spinning at Ascari and pitting with an electrical issue as well.

Red Bull
Takuma Taki made the pass of the race today. It wasn't a spectactular pass, but the timing was brilliance. Going down the back straight towards Parabolica, Taki drew alongside Stefan Kuntz. Mere metres before passing a marshall waving a yellow flag, he edged in front to take the spot. I actually had to watch in slow motion to see the timing, and it was very close. A well deserved top 15. Hamilton also made the top 20, managing to catch a slide after going off at the Parabolica near the end of the race.

Hydook
A top 20 for Jancker, a poor result for Ristic, and an anonymous race overall.

JLD
Both drivers spent lap 2 being muppets. Melrose caused a collision with Harmsky at Rettiflo when he went down the inside but never got anywhere near far enough to have the spot, while Fukuda spun not once, but twice, at opposite ends of a straight no less - Ascari and Parabolica. Melrose at least scored some points, while Fukuda got really lucky with his spins, both times he went 360 and lost fewer places than you'd think.

Kamaha
Both cars got involved in the Davies/Reatherson smash, with Desai collecting Davies' loose wheel and needing a front wing, while Nurmester hit McAllister, fortunately with minimal damage. Actually, this was probably the first time all year that Nurmester gained places in a race.

Shonan
Once again a good qualifying and start ruined by bad luck, Harmsky was forced to sit and wait for the field when Melrose punted him off, while Sokolov's Geely didn't have the power to make much ground.

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.

Kuntz there, living up to his name.

If anyone has a driver they would like some F3 experience for prior to next season, don't hesitate to give me a shout...

Ah feck.

Looks like Kuntz can forget his RWRS dreams after this season... at least Nurmester was relatively useful this time around.

But yeah, if someone wants to put a driver in for experience for 2016, be my guest.

Otherwise, I'll stick Komarek in there...

I feel sorry for all the poor sods who are gullible enough to hire my ex-drivers, I really do. It's funny how Nuppiz's driver management business is almost entirely Alitalia rejects, and how RonDen is starting to morph into an Alitalia B-Team.

I AM THE KING OF RACING POLITICS!

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... :P

Mazzacane would like a full time seat for next season. Let's see how he does at Surfers Paradise.

Are you sure you wouldn't like a free BENOIT VOECKLER? Or perhaps an ANDRAZ VELIKONJA at a huge 99% discount? Don't forget I pawned off Carsten Jancker on your a few weeks back either ;)
