The talks with Voeckler went on for quite some time, but as you said, you have no commitment to anyone other than yourself, so you didn't take part in any of these discussions. Maybe if you weren't so careless, you'd have seen it coming and could have avoided this whole situation. And Thomas has absolutely no problem with the team. If the deal with Voeckler had fallen through, he'd have been perfectly happy spending the season with us and building the car up, unlike you. In fact, he only agreed to leave because he was certain that your precious money would help us make it through the year, because he loves this team that much. And Eric? He knows full well that he's slower than most other drivers out there. He knows he's here because we need money. And he's completely fine with it and just happy to be driving in the top series, no matter the car. And about that VDS car? They paid for it and got exactly what they wanted. You see? I have a business to run with clients who want to buy my products. All you have is a few sponsors you offer to teams in the hopes that they'll let you drive for them. I respect your driving talent, it's one of the reasons I accepted the deal with Voeckler, but I can find someone just as competent, thank you very much. As for ending your career on a high, as much as Guillaume is a smashing bloke, signing for a team that has scored one single point this season is hardly what I'd call a high...

Also, you can talk to me about taxes once Flanders sort out their aging people who are sucking up all of the hard-working Walloon workers' taxes to feed their pensions and arrogant lifestyles. I would also like to contradict you on our cars' luxury (which I never brought up) and tell you that Prince Albert of Monaco owns a Vertigo, and that the pride of Belgian manufacturing was rather Imperia, based in Nessonvaux. Gillet's history in GT racing was spent in a time without money, yet we did still finish the 24 Hours three times, and not just one, as you wrongly claimed. Finally, to showcase our quality, we allowed Philippe Streiff to drive again.

No, I actually, didn't, but now that you mention it...
Tony Gillet wrote:Just because we were working on Walloon tax money doesn't mean we were rolling in the stuff. The Region only gave us a shoestring budget to work with. Did you forget that the major funding only came when we started winning races back in 2011? And I think Wouter answered your question very succinctly, so I won't bother with it. And I may be old, but I'm not senile. Wallonia as a whole is younger than Flanders and is rising. Your view is clouded by all those pretty-sounding messages Bart de Wever tells you to believe. You may think that you're "stuck with us" and that we're dead weight, but the fact is that the trend is reversing, and you just won't admit it.

After McKane called F1RWRS "a farce" and told to press that "Prieto has no idea what he's doing" the F1RWRS Commissioner has been quick to hit back at the former AR3.5 runner-up. In a quick interview conducted by MARCA Motor, Prieto had the following words for McKane: "That he has failed to adapt to the series is pretty obvious. We've always aimed for real drivers here; drivers who want to take the thrill of driving cars that, while are not the fastest around, they are the most enjoyable and difficult to drive out there; this is why our series is so popular, it's not a secret that not everyone can come here and do a good job. That's what Formula One is for, though, anyone who knows how to handle a baby cart and drive like it was a PS4 videogame can go there, it's good that he'll find a drive there before retiring and heading to enjoy a google driverless car in his retirement; the rest of drivers who stay at F1RWRS will keep on enjoying the thrills of real racing"

Auto Hebdo wrote:Gillet-Ecurie Nationale Belge replace Mignolet with Daniel Moreno
Following the sudden departure of Ron Mignolet from Gillet and the bitter comments generated by the Belgian's decision, Gillet had to find a new driver. Luckily though, they made a quick signing, announcing that Canadian driver Daniel Moreno will step into the car until the end of the season. Moreno brings much-needed cash as well as universally-recognised talent. Tony Gillet hopes that he will be able to help bring the team forward and perhaps prequalify a few more times before the end of the year.

Jones: The car didn't give any problems during the race simulations except a couple of engine failures for Alvarez Torrente. No other faults in the car were found, so the team didn't make any progress towards reliability. On the last two days, both Torrente and Hawkin worked hard on pace. Torrente was very good during his race simulation on the second day and he's expected to have improved in that area; Hawkin on his side was very consistent and fast, specially in qualifying. Overall it felt he made progress both on qualifying and race trim.
PORE: Race simulations on first day were both aborted by engine explosions; Reatherson suffered a similar fate on day 2 while Neuberg could finally make a bit of progress and finished his program. The team was satisfied with the new bits and improved 0,2 Downforce.
Test Report: MRT brought loads of new pieces for their 4 days of extensive testing in Nurburgring. Everything worked more or less Ok and the team made more progress as the test went on. All race simulations were completed except Daniel Melrose at day one, who crashed on his very first lap. Overall the team was satisfied and estimate the car is now 0,7 points of downforce ahead of where they were.

Shinobu Katayam dragged the Rob Lomas Racing car to the top of the time sheets in a masterly display, knocking off Andrej Kremnicky at her old team Revolution off the top spot in the dying minutes of the session. Teammate Adelaide Voeckler who was 8 tenths off her time did well enough for 7th and to get RLR into the proper qualifying and to keep them out of prequalifying hell for another race. Katayama said after the session "I felt at one with the car, the car does lack decent handling but it's fast so I can put the car where I want it, I think in the qualifying proper I should get into the top 10. I just hope my team mate has enough pace to get into the race."
Mori slams team Barii Mori was clearly annoyed when the prequalifying session ended and he failed to set a time, there was a lot of work done to the car during to the session but Mori stayed in the cockpit and was waiting and waiting for a sign to go out and set a time but it never came. The red lights and chequered flag came out for the end of the session and Mori clearly angry, took the steering wheel off and chucked it towards the pitwall gantry, then he took his helmet off and slammed it to the garage floor before walking off to the motorhome. We got this statement from him, "I was annoyed at the team for not having the car ready, the team were running around and not really telling me what was wrong, the engine never fired up once and I begin to think there was never one in the car, one of the pitcrew made brum brum sounds to pretend to fire it up. I am loosing patience with the team and am considering my options."
<@Ataxia> these people are making a mess of their crepe suzettes
Despite now being forced to share his current championship lead with breakout star Alexey Buyvolov, Diego Álvarez Torrente has received high praise from Astro Racing Stars creator Jacques Couteau, who waxed lyrical about his protege's season so far.
"Diego has been superb" said Couteau. "The fact that he is up there in a title fight is probably something people would think surprising, but since day 1 we've known at Astro that Diego's had some splendid talent. He likes to surprise people, he thrives on being the underdog."
The Spaniard has driven cautiously this season, but Couteau is sure that his ability will shine through as the season progresses.
"Look, sure, Diego's been holding back when it comes to racing. These early stages are all about learning, sitting back and taking whatever comes your way. When Diego gets an opportunity, he grabs it with both hands. When he gets up to full confidence, he'll be making his own luck, I'm sure of it."
Qualifying has previously been Torrente's strong suit, having taken a number of pole positions in F2RWRS and the now-defunct RoLFS series, but Couteau thinks that the man known as "DAT" in the media has developed further as a driver since.
"Diego's got Mark Dagnall as a team-mate, and on occasion has outqualified him. This is Dagnall, who has so many fastest laps in races he could retire right now and it would take five years for someone to overtake him. When you compare them, sure, Mark's been the quickest overall. But Diego's learning; Mark's been quite forthcoming with tips for him and Sammy Jones also has experience to give to him. His racing is getting stronger."
Couteau's own Fusion outfit have released a cryptic message to the public with Coca-Cola - their future title sponsors - running a special "Share A Coke" advert with a question mark, believed to be hinting to a driver announcement after the Grand Prix at Road America.
"You'll have to wait and see" smirked Couteau.

L'Equipe wrote:Voeckler GPE itching for first win of 2017
With recent signing Thomas de Bock notching up his third podium in a row at Montreal on Sunday, Voeckler have slowly reduced the gap to rivals Aeroracing in the Constructors' Championship, and de Bock is now the team's main protagonist, despite not scoring in the first three races of the year for his former Gillet team.
However, despite this improvement, team principal Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler is still disappointed the team has yet to record a single race win, having taken more victories than any other team last season.
"It's really unfortunate we haven't been able to win a race so far this year, and I'm itching to set the record straight on that," he said. "When the window has been open for us to swoop in and take victory, we haven't been decisive enough and taken it, and often when we have been in a good position, we suffer from something unfortunate that takes us out of the equation."
Voeckler GPE had a similar season last year, where the drivers had a slow start to the year before coming on strong in the latter half of the season. The team principal is not hoping for a repeat however.
"Getting your campaign into full swing half-way through the season is too late in the game," he said. "We lost all hope of challenging Davies for the WDC last season because of this, and it's starting to look like the same thing will happen this year with the Jones cars."
De Bock lies 5th in the Drivers Championship with 19 points, with Nathanael Spencer down in 7th with only 9 points to his name. Voeckler GPE currently stand 16 points behind leaders Jones in the Constructors Championship, and 13 behind Aeroracing.

This one's for the category 'everyday things that remind me of F1RWRS'. A few days ago, i saw a truck from Sprimoglass (in Zonhoven, to be precise), so Gillet's most loyal sponsor actually has business outside of Sprimont, well well, who'd have thought...
