Rejects of LFS 2014-2015

Post by **Ataxia** » 23 Jan 2013, 14:37

Hang on, I've been very silly indeed. You say the criteria is for drivers between 20 and 50? That rules ALL of my drivers out except Marko Jantscher...I think. Reject of the Thread for me.

This means my entry list should be revised to Marko Jantscher (AUT), TBA, TBA at the moment, feel free to suggest any drivers you can.

While you're here, could you also nominate a replacement for Yamamura for the Japan rounds?

Yes, I forgot about that. Maybe Tanner Jason would be interested in taking the seat.

FGCR will play it safe and go with the FXR

(Jaguar inspired perhaps?)

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 23 Jan 2013, 16:58

Lavezzi IBR #27 will use an XR. Unless they've all run out, in which case we'll run a risk with the FZ50.

Either Glotch or van de Schoot could drive for Aeroracing in RoLFS next season if I manage to find Brucie Kibbutz a drive in either F2RWRS or F1RWRS.

So Kibbutz is Israeli now, right? I've already gone ahead and made the changes to his nationality on the wiki, though it can always be reverted.

There's also some confusion on Yamamura's gender, as you can see from the discussion a couple of pages back. While Akira is a predominantly male first name in Japan, it may be given to females as well. I've assumed him to be a male because you never gave me info about the gender, until now when I found out about the name's uses. The selected gender has absolutely no effect in-game, apart from the driver model which really is only properly visible in the in-car views.

He's male, since I've always thought Akira was only used to name male people.

We will be number #13 in the FXR, and we will be taking Nathan McKane and Ragnar Larsen. If we can get a third driver off someone, that'd be great, too.

I'll whip a livery up soon.

Nathan McKane will be joining Kamaha for the F1RWRS special events AFAIK, so it would be best to replace him.

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 24 Jan 2013, 01:28

I may have to enter a car or driver of my own for the future, because I do keep tabs on this series (subbed on YouTube). Hell, I'd even take a shot at being a livery designer for these cars even though I've never drawn anything for LFS ever. :lol:

Don't know who I would enter with. At the risk of being unoriginal I'd think about entering Divina Henton even though she's pretty established in the TM Master Cup series...

...but I'd prefer to be a tick more original then to rehash a TMMC driver.

OK then, ZimSport will run Renato Bulku, Frank Zimmer (since he won't be racing in the F1RWRS the following weekend) and young Samoan driver Iakopo Fuamatu (being evaluated for an RDS drive, aged 20) in an FXO.

If he is entered for the Indianapolis 800, then it is advised for him to not take part here. However, the rule is not strictly enforced so is Winton cannot find a replacement than McKane can still drive here.

I could assume Bulku is old enough, so he's okay (no age has ever been given for him though). Frank ZImmer is somewhat OK too, although he probably takes part in the F1RWRS Brazilian GP...

In any case Fuamatu is not OK, the rules state that every driver entered needs to have at least one start in any other category.

Well, I don't know about the other two drivers yet, but, I'd like to offer a seat to Tristan Jung for the 24H.

Pasitchnjuk and Matsudate are OK (the latter getting her debut at the next regular RoLFS race), however as with Fuamatu in ZimSport's entry, I'm not accepting Borovskiy as there are no previous racing records of him.

Unfortunately Benoit Voeckler is not old enough to be in the Aston 24 Hours, looks like I'll have to look elsewhere.

Marcel Agyemang-Badu is also ineligible has he is still only 19. Marco Bizzarri was never actually given an age, but seeing as he was in F2RWRS since the start of 2014, I would say calling him 22 years old is fair. I'll have to think about who his co-pilots will be, which will also probably depend if anyone who is already employing one of my academy drivers decides to keep them on for the enduro.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 24 Jan 2013, 20:08

Niko Nurminen, Nikolai Nurmovitsch, Nathan Nurmester, Stefan Kuntz and Phil McCracken are all available, should some of you not find drivers elsewhere.

Ah, OK then. The main reason I put him in was because every single one of my drivers will be in Brazil, except for the Zimmer brothers since HRT are pulling out, and John's too old to do a 24 hour race.
I suppose, since it's tin tops... Yep, put Pieter Kickert in the car!

Seeing as Balzary's too old (he'd be 52 according to Wikipedia), I'll stick Greenwood in the last Fusion car

Winton is very interested in running Nurmester... Kuntz as well if McKane is unavailable for the 24h event.

OT: What is the best South City layout for touring cars, Nuppiz? I am asking this because xkoranate (scorinator for Warped Touring Car Series) requires lap record information. (That being said, I also need records of your chosen layout using a GTR version of a LFS car).

The Dutch RoLFS team De Friis Motorsport is already preparing for 2016, with their announcement of new drivers, livery and engine deal.

For 2016, they will field two cars for dutch Karl van der Zwaart and italian Gianluigi Pazzini moving from F2. His work at the team begins though at Aston 24 hours.
Thanks to Pazzini, they recieve financial support from Lancia for 2016 and to celebrate this, their new livery has some features reminding of the succelsful Martini Lancias.

RWRS Report wrote:RoLFS: Mastercard Lancia becomes Lavezzi IBR Lancia for 2016

For the second time in two years, the Il Barone Rampante run Lancia squad in the Rejects of LFS series has undergone another rebranding. As of next year, the Mastercard Lancia team, of which the title sponsor has decided not to renew their contract with the Italian squad for next season, will instead run under sponsorship of new backer and team shareholder Antonio Lavezzi, CEO of the Lavezzi coffee company.

There is also guaranteed to be a driver change for next year. With Marcel Agyemang-Badu graduating to F2RWRS for next year, there will be a space to fill in their lineup. The free seat has so far been linked to the likes of former drivers Carsten Jancker and Ragnar Larsen, Argentine racer Diego Mauricio Batistuta, and French youngster and former Hydook RoLFS driver Benoit Voeckler. It is expected that current second driver Marco Bizzarri will re-sign for the team for nex year.

I'm not home at the moment and can't give you definite information until Sunday evening, but in general Classic is probably my favorite layout, if for nothing else than the crazy chicane where the AI always fails. :lol:

Formula V8 does a lap there in about 40 seconds, so GTR laptimes should be around 45 seconds.

Kyoto Ring heats should be uploaded by Monday; I actually had ran Heat 1 by Thrusday evening, recorded highlights and everything... only to realize that I had forgotten to replace Matthias Valsattis with Ashley Lilly amidst all the other driver changes. :oops:

So instead I ran Heat 2 this morning and recorded part of the highlights before being semi-forcibly dragged here in the middle of nowhere.

I just tested this, and the laptime with a FZ50 GTR was 43.25 seconds.
