The Generic Times wrote:Arrest Warrant Issued For Tristan Jung, Three Others

Today, the court in Washington DC has issued an arrest warrant for Trueba Racing driver Tristan Jung, for allegedly receiving finances from a large consortium of music piraters. The finances were then used to fund his attempted business merger between ARC and Trueba, which then fell through because of the scandal. Warrants have also been issued for ARC chief Brad Paisley, Trueba Marketing Director Alfredo Possanzini, and an unnamed employee at ARC who was also alleged to have participated in the money laundering scheme. However, before Jung was taken into custody by local authorities, Jung apparently fled to an undisclosed location, with at least 15 million dollars. Notwithstanding, Trueba is looking for a replacement driver.

I sort of wanted to focus on just American Racing Conglomerate from now on, and since I think I'm the only guy who owns a team and drives for another one, I just wanted to retire Jung for good. Plus, Roda returned so my whole merger thing failed miserably.

If Trueba isn´t interested in a pay driver, James Davies wants a drive.

I am very sorry that I have not commented on my team's performance since I set it up. I have been in hospital for a long while :cry:

Can I spend credits in improving the chassis so I can use more of the engine power? If I can then please can I spend 80 credits on this and spend the rest on improving the reliability of the car?

If this is not possible then can I spend all my credits on improving the reliability of the car?

Hope I may score a point to escape the dreaded pre qualifying.

Shinji Zanmai wrote:Disappointed with the cars breaking down again but both Shinobu and Hagane drove flawless races and we would have score a good haul of points, still 3 fastest laps in 6 races is a good record. Currently the 5th place that Shinobu managed is just enough to get us out of the pre qualifying drop but we will be working hard to score more points.

it isn´t possible to increase your power as your chassis is currently running at the limit of its capacity, so I will upgrade your reliability accordingly.

Btw, good to see you back!!

Autosport wrote:New team to arrive in F1RWRS
Frank Zimmer has been busy after he was unceremoniously dumped by Horizon Motorsport, and has gotten in contact with Garry Rogers. Zimmer drove for Rogers in the 2005 V8 Supercar championship, edging out Todd Kelly to take the series win. They have been in discussions about entering a car for F1RWRS, and now it is about to become a reality.

"I was in discussions with Garry since Dallas," says Zimmer. "I planned on leaving Horizon after Norising, but now I'm free we are looking to enter the series either there or at Zandvoort." The team is rumoured to be working with HRT, another V8-turned-F1RWRS team. They have secured a customer engine deal, and will effectively become the HRT B-Team. "Garry and Frank came to us after Dallas and asked if we'd help set up a team for them," said HRT principal Mark Skaife, who was one of Zimmer's rivals in 2005. "We agreed, and helped them build a chassis for entry at Norisring."

Garry Rogers Motorsport, as they will be known, have secured sponsorship from Valvoline, as well as a few other smaller sponsors, and will run a livery similar to the GRM liveries used in V8 Supercars in 2001.

To make this formal:

Garry Rogers Motorsport
Chassis: Zakspeed 891 (to be renamed GRM 013)
Engine: Porsche V12 (to renamed to whatever I called the HRT's engine)
Livery: I'll put it here when I finish it
Driver 1: Frank Zimmer
Driver 2: TBA (That's why I'm waiting. Anyone? Preferably someone who's not a paydriver.)

Now, if I'm correct, I have 275 credits left, so I'll spend 200 on improving the power, and 75 on reliability.

RACE

Chris Dagnall does an incredible start and breezes by Fleet and Mark Dagnall, while it doesn´t take long to Douglas Mann to pass his team mate and go chase both Dagnalls. At the back Daniel Martins makes contact with another car and spins out, losing a good couple of seconds.

On lap 2 Shizuka suffers a puncture and is out of the race; an interesting fight for 4th starts to develop between Fleet, Respati and Katayama. Next man out is Kay Lon. It takes a few laps but now the battle for 4th extends to 6 drivers. Pratchett passes Katayama and Respati.

The battle continues until Pratchett is able to pass Fleet on lap 15, then next lap Respati manages to pass and one lap later Katayama passes as well and the group starts to break as neither Plaza or Rhys Davies can get close to the Foxdale driver. Then, Respati starts to chase Pratchett and manages to pass him on lap 20. Seconds later, Rhys Davies stops with an electrical problem and retires for the first time this season!

The "joy" at HRT is complete when Watkinson retires two laps later. On lap 25 Douglas Mann stops, trying something different against both Dagnalls (most of the drivers going for one). Inside the top 10, Respati is the other driver going for two stops as well, and he falls to 9th after his stop.

Chris Dagnall is the very first man to pit of the one stoppers and does it on lap 36, Jones is going to pit behind him (one lap) but his cars stops a few meters from the pitlane entrance! Mark Dagnall stops next lap, but fails his pit exit at the moment Barii Mori pits, and has to wait for the japanese to end his stop to continue and loses 15 extra seconds! On lap 38 everybody else pits so there´re no changes in the points positions; Respati regains 4th, but he hasn´t enough gap to cover it at the last stop.

Not that he needs to recover much as Douglas Mann retires on lap 41, once again, failures at Foxdale are measured as Ben Fleet only lasts two extra laps and retires with an oil leak! The bunch of surprises as Chris Dagnall retires on lap 50, making way for a comfortable lead for Mark Dagnall.

Respati finally pits on lap 55 and he´s down to 4th, behind Jesus Plaza and Katayama. He reaches Katayama fast but he gets stuck behind the Sunshine and a beautiful battle for 3rd starts, with Respati trying a pass practically every lap, knowing that if he gets past Katayama soon enough will have time to go for the 2nd place, but the japanese driver defends very well and it´s only at lap 69 that the Sunshine starts throwing white smoke and Respati can pass for a weird podium formed by Mark Dagnall, Jesus Plaza and Resi Respati, and leaving things very hot for the race at Norisring to avoid pre qualifying.

FASTEST LAP: Chris Dagnall -- 1.27.743
ROTR: Arrowtech; Ever since they introduced updates they´ve shown a decrease of pace and the back of the grid is becoming too familiar.

Particularly as it's our home race, its even more disappointing but I guess we'll just have to pick ourselves up and move on to the next race. At least we can take comfort in knowing we've done enough to avoid prequalifying for the second half of the season, so the cars will be doing less running and thus hopefully be more reliable for the races themselves.

Well, another retirement... it´s becoming a bit annoying now, but at least we got another win! Mark did a good effort and despite the pit incident with Mori has gotten another win. I was running just ahead of him all of the time but the car broke in the end... it reminds me a bit of my races at Silverstone in 1992 and 1993, when I was in for a win and I had to retire in the end.

Among the point scorers, it would be Phoenix and Calinetic going into pre-qualifying right now (in the case of Calinetic they would stay into preq). Sunshine has 2 7th places to fall upon, while Kamaha has 1 7th place. Best result outside the points for Phoenix is 1 8th.

I personally can not see Calinetic prequalifying again. I fell for Nicolas as he could have score a point if not for the engine failing.
