I think every single driver should be banned tbh and we start over with a clean slate
Well, except Bizzarri. He didn't do anything wrong, he just got screwed by everyone else.

It's been an awful weekend for Fusion. Nul points at Germany, and nul points here as well. We've got to recover from this now and push on.

Knowing Melville, banning him isn't going to acheive anything. In fact, it's really just encouraging that sort of behaviour

Why Tojo? While his performance certainly was quite rejectful, I didn't see him exactly ruining anyone's race, as the only serious incident was when he it Melville and even then it was hardly his fault because Melville drove straight in front of him.
Penalty points handed in the final:Dean Melville - 64 points (Severe endangerement of fellow drivers x 2, dangerous driving with broken car x 2, endangerement of fellow drivers, ignoring blue flags, drive-through penalty)

So, four drivers need to be replaced. The only replacement I know at the moment is that Megumi will return in the place of Tenpenny.

So Fukuda has been banned...well, MRT can always have Martin McGovern back if they like. Or, there is also the possibility of using Diego Mauricio Batistuta, who is no longer racing in F3RWRS.

Ha, i entered Dorien Lamberigts in a race after a ban in F3RWRS and here happens the same.
If the calendar is not in conflict with the Spa superprix in F3RWRS Justin Case can drive here, otherwise, some random driver from from random forumuser can get it for one race.

There's no calendar clash, especially as RoLFS returns to Europe for the next race.
Also, taken note of Komárek.

I have the best young driver programme in the world. Even when the drivers in it turn out to be absolutely hopeless, they are
still able to get drives! Just look at Voeckler! In one season he goes from being sacked from F1RDS after 3 races, then sacked from RoLFS after one race, then sacked from F1RDS AGAIN after another two races, and is now about to make his F3RWRS debut!
If that doesn't show I'm the best driver manager in the world, I don't know what is!

Nuppiz, I've decided to re-do the Fusion livery just to be in line with the Gatorade title sponsorship. The engine will now be rebadged as a Honda.
Here it is; it should all work ok...

I am completely expecting different flavours for the livery throughout the rest of the season. The livery with the cool blue or grape flavours of Gatorade would look very good IMO.
Still..

No problems with Honda rebadging, but TRE will seek clarification from Autobacs regarding the sponsorship with Fusion Motorsports - similar to what Aeroracing did to their sponsor, Dark Dog, when De Friis announced sponsorship with Dark Dog. (page 15)

Yes, they have. I forgot the Takagi car had the Autobacs logos too, but considering they're on a minor part of my car I don't see why it would be a problem.
The reason I've made this new livery is to keep with the Fusion corporate colours and title sponsorship. Autobacs is on the F3 car, ergo it should be on the RoLFS car as well.

With MRT singing Mark Dangall and Jones confirming their 2016 line up, Kamaha who had hoped to sign Mark Dagnall have turned their attention to their number two choice and have offered Nathan McKane a one year contract with the podium scoring team. Hopefully Nathan McKane will announce his plans for 2016 soon.

2015 Rejects of LFS Round of South City - Qualifying for the semifinals
South City was exciting last year, and now with faster cars it proved to be even more so. Many drivers were caught out by the Turn 3 chicane, now nicknamed "Carbon Kink" for the amount of carbon fibre lost there. The Collective Failure Award goes to Ultimate Racing and Scuderia Vittore, as both drivers of both teams failed to string a clean lap together, instead crashing at the aforementioned corner on each attempt. About two thirds of the field had at least some action there, and only the few drivers at the top of the grid managed to avoid all trouble.

As an emergency measure, I've decided to hold the heat races on the reversed layout, which is far less prone to accidents due to the different entry to the troublesome chicane. The original layout caused not only ridiculous attrition (half of the field was eliminated in 8 laps when the total length is 50), but also such serious accidents that half of the field would go to the hospital while the other half would get banned...

Umm nope, not even that worked. The second-placed driver was one lap behind the winner, while the third-placed driver was five laps behind, and the top 10 was divided by a total of 11 laps...
One last option: shortening the race to 25 laps, the original sprint race length. Obviously this means that only half points will be awarded.

Heat 1 has already been run. Reverse layout, half length. It's the only way to get any sort of sensible results. In-character reason could be safety concerns, which isn't too far from the truth.
I have to rethink what layout of the track I'll use for next year.
