Have you removed the Renault logo on the Mecha car?

Yes. Do you want anything to replace it or are you content with the Cosworth name?

Could you do an adaption of the new F3RWRS livery I sent you for me? I'd do it myself but I can't work with the ridiculously small templates

Just leave it alone, keep the Cosworth name.

This alright? (sorry for the rather small size...)

Yeah, that's great thanks!

Well the sponsors from last year stay, but Octan get added to it. I don't know if this will require a new livery to make it look good, but it will probably not be a huge change.

This is it, the start of the 2016 RWRS season.

Post by **Ataxia** » 21 Apr 2013, 16:02

I think I can get away with announcing a race sometime next week/weekend.

For the last Kingfisher seat, I'll put Riva in for 3 races and Kuznevic in for the other 3 in the Winter Cup. Hopefully, AdrianSutil will have returned and thus can make a decision himself. Liveries are also pretty much done.

I know there's a couple of F2/F3 NC races to go, but a little overlap can't hurt too much...

Yes, finally 2016 is starting.

Hmmm. At least Aimee seems to be vastly superior to her teammate. Hopefully that will continue. Also, those graphics look very, very nice!

Hmm, NREs locking out the third row... maybe this season will turn out better than the previous one.

16th and 17th... things hopefully should got better by the race.

8th and 20th, not great. At least Mineiro has done a solid job on his debut, expected more from Barlini though.

Not a bad first qualifying for Gauther, considering she's a rookie. But Suomanen was just bad.

Post by **tommykl** » 02 May 2013, 18:18

11th place? That's better than Simon usually did last year, so hopefully points are on the way

Silva did quite well, if he has learnt to be consistent he could be a championship challenger. Other than that FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Aimée Gauthier wrote:Yes, it was a great race for me. I was only looking to get more familiar with the car today, but I think had I not been behind slower people I could have won. Overtaking was very difficult, but I managed to pull off a very good one on Riva. After that there was no hope of catching the cars ahead, so I just focused on defending. Certainly there is room for improvement, especially in qualifying, but if this is any indication of form I feel very confident about my chances this year. But it's important to take the season one step at a time, and so I am just looking forward to the next race, and we should do better now with the experience of today.

Aww, Reith was running in second place when his engine blew. Seems we're alright in terms of pace, too bad Frankham didn't have the chance to show his speed.

Alessandro Linari wrote:Absolutely awful. Simply unacceptable. We can't be having this kind of performance again. 19th and DNF means we were the worst performing team on the entire grid. Lessons are not being learned from last season.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 04 May 2013, 23:43

That was crap but really encouraging. Silva might have won if his engine didn't go boom and Scrattenheim fought his way back brilliantly from a terrible qualifying.

I've run the 2nd qualifying session, and unlike last season where the qualifying results were usually in the favour of VW and Opel powered teams, without our power differences it's completely random.

Therefore I will bring back the qualifying perf rewards that were originally touted for last season, but kicked out due to opposition who argued it would only suit the VW/Opel runners more. It works the same way as the race performance rewards, but based on quali results. This should perhaps see some talents emerging rather than the random nature of the current setup.

If you're concerned, the perf additions are quite small anyway so it should only have a very slight effect.

As I'm sure you know, the Winter Cup doesn't utilise this system due to it being essentially a NC event.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 06 May 2013, 12:15

Volker Scrattemheim qualified terribly again but he made that up in the race last time so hopefully he will do so again. And Silva is every bit as inconsistent as last year which is annoying.
