Võsu 5th?

pi314159 · Post by **pi314159** » 17 Jan 2013, 20:32

Well Einhrin, having the best qualifying engine and qualifying 14th is weak. Suomanen did a better job, however starting from 8th position, I don't expect any points.

But look, Aya is third, AGAIN! Let's hope the car doesn't break down on [insert gender here, I'm honestly not sure if Nestra is a male or female Malaysian name. Though I'd guess it's female]

And after her heroric victory in the first race, normal service is resumed for poor Laura.

Jerry De Boer FTW and the championship! :mrgreen:

From memory, he's a guy.

WHAT THE BATHPLUG.

Seriously, Kwol-Cho is randomly changing between awesome and awful.

That's the last race of 2015! Thanks everyone for taking part, and I'll post my ROTY podium a bit later

Suomanen gets a second RDS season, other seat TBA.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 18 Jan 2013, 16:35

Well that was a rather uneventful race for my team. Good to have both cars on points, hopefully that helps us in the teams' championship.

Well, moving Pacer out of the F1RDS was a gamble, and on the surfacr, appears like it didn't work. However, he wouldn't have scored in the last four races due to the engine power differences, so still would have lost the title!

A poor end to the season from FGCR, hopefully we'll be in contention next year with the new engine equalisation rules.

De Boer was so damn close to winning the title it's not even funny. Oh well, he's more than earned another season with DMR.

Laura Wener can move up to the F3RWRS.

And before I forget, my new American driver Sandy Grey is looking around for a drive in the RDS.

De Boer belongs to Ferrarist though right? He's not your driver? Because I think he's also the manager for Kwol-Cho, which makes him the most succesful user in this entire series so far :lol:

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 18 Jan 2013, 19:32

As I've mentioned before, Stan Frankham is searching for a drive in F3RWRS. He has an outing with Prospec in the third car for the Surfers SuperPrix, but still no offer for 2016. He does bring Hype sponsorship with him.

I think so, but it seems he's completely forgotten about his drivers.

Seeing as he doesn't seem to mind, I'll clear a space in the Fusion lineup and take De Boer on. He probably won't care...

And yeah, Jari Lappalainen and Florian Grunewald are looking for RDS seats next year. Lappalainen's a race winner, and Grunewald is a hot prospect hailing from Germany.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 19 Jan 2013, 00:05

Well, at least Donkervoort ended the last race with an acceptable result. The manufacturer Donkervoort will however pull out, leaving the team permanently to Octan Young Drivers.
Both of our current drivers are offered a seat in F3RWRS, while i'm looking for new unexperienced drivers for the next season.

Yeah, why not.

And so it looks like DMR will be hunting around for two new drivers for Liam McGuigan to shout at. :lol:

Jalmerson da Cunha would be delighted to race at F3RWRS, if offered the possibility at Octan or other team

Well, I've got an idea. As long as Ferrarist doesn't object (which he probably won't), I'll manage De Boer. He would like a seat at Octan for F3RWRS, as I intend to keep Lappalainen in RDS for another season. Would DMR be interested in Lappalainen?

Octan will continue sponsoring Lappalainen through his career, but the condition is that RonDen RE keep an option on him, were he ever to promote to F2RWRS, an other condition is that he will not be distracted by the RoLFS, which Octan think is not beneficial for one's development.

So that leaves two new places available in the Octan Young Drivers talent pool! The best place to start your career!

Yup, DMR's new number 1 is Jari Lappalainen.

Is Kwol-choi even doing anything in 2016 yet? Because if not I would like to offer a drive with Red Bull World Race Team in either F2RWRS or F3RWRS. I am also willing to take over management of him if needed

He signed with Kamaha in the F3.

In other silly season news, Rosenforth need two new drivers, since both Douglas and Grove were crap. Any takers?

Sorry to pull the rug from underneath you Nuppiz, but Tonu Pykälistö won't be returning to NRE next season. I have other plans for him.

Octan will help you with that, we will sign him in our talent programme on the following conditions:
1) He needs permission from Octan whenever he signs for a new team (this will not be a problem)
2) He must not spend more than 2 seasons in one series (if he's good enough, this will not be a problem)
3) He must not go to RoLFS (if this is a problem, then your driver is a problem)

And yet Douglas gets the lead JLD F3RWRS seat simply because there are literally no other candidates insane enough to take the job. Go figure. :lol:

You are wrong. Yes there are. He is French, his father is called Frederic-Maxime and he has a very generous sponsorship package from Alstom and Carrefour. He even raced in both F1RDS and F3RWRS this year. Figured out who it is yet?

He's still open to offers from F1RDS teams, by the way.

It's a deal! He also brings some sponsorship from a marketing agency called Rocket Fuel.

Eh, sure, why not. Rosenforth would prefer for the second driver to be from Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands somewhere.

Mestach and Feldhoffer were nearly dead even this year so both will be kept for next season, as long as either doesn't move up the RWRS ladder.

Considering Matt Grove has been sacked he will take any free seat in RDS

I personally think he should have got another year but it's been decided now so nevermind

He does have the Surfers SuperPrix to prove he deserves a promotion, but it'll be his last chance with ZimSport if he blows it.
