I'm fairly certain other drivers have won in the intervening period. Now, other American drivers...

Jake Legge wrote:I'm really pleased with Leandro and Marko. After a distinctly average qualifying they produced a pair of top recovery drives and Leandro chalked up his first points. We've crept up to 4th in the Constructors' Table and 6th in the Teams' Championship - under the radar somewhat but it's really good to be there in our first ever season. We hope to continue to challenge the top half of the points on a regular basis; getting a few podiums in the bag would be quite nice too.

Jordan Davies wrote:Yeah! That was a good race! I screwed up a corner in qualifying which is why I was so far down, but I'll try harder next time!

Pippa Mann wrote:Yes, we were pleased with both you and Peter Port today. He allowed you the extra point as you are higher in the championship (his choice, not ours!) which keeps you 2nd in the championship, and 7 points from the championship lead. A very mature performance from both West Cliff drivers. Now let's see how you go in the Foxdale tests back in England tomorrow...

Sammy Jones wrote:Another shocker of a performance today, I can accept it to an extent from Roberto because he's still green, but Swerts is on borrowed time. He hasn't scored a single point so far, and hasn't come close either. It's embarrassing, and his exploits in the F2RWRS aren't attracting praise either. As such, should he fail to qualify inside the top 20 for Monaco, and perform to an adequate standard, I'm afraid he'll have to look for a drive elsewhere.

Kay Lon wrote:I am amazed. Judd did a great job against all odds, scoring a very good points finish, this is extremely important for us. However, Zytek ain't off the hook yet. For now, we will be content with our point: Judd showed his true potential out there and if he sticks with the Best In The World brand, big things are in store for him sooner or later.

Barii Mori wrote:Wow, that was a great race, Victoria Desai is showing that she is a top driver and scored a fantastic podium, Bob Sampson on the other hand was just slow all race and could not dial into the car. Still the chassis we built looks nimble and the Yamaha badged Zytek engine looks really fast, I bet best in the world motorsports had it now.

Prospec keen on Pykälistö for Monaco

Pemberton Prospec Racing have reportedly asked the permission of Scuderia Alitalia and F1RDS team Nurminen Racing Engineering to run Finnish driver Tõnu Pykälistö in the F3RWRS Monaco Grand Prix where teams will be able to run a third car on a one-off basis. Pykälistö is a member of the Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra and has enjoyed an impressive start to the F1RDS season for Nurminen, scoring points in all three races including a win in Race 1 at Imola. Scuderia Alitalia and Nurminen Racing Engineering were both unavailable for comment at this time.

Niko Nurminen wrote:While we certainly would like to see Pykälistö in a bigger league as soon as possible, we'd also like to keep him aboard for at least the rest of the current F1RDS season, as he's looking likely to be a championship contender. If he were to start an F3RWRS race now, that would immediately make him ineligible for F1RDS as per the current regulations. So unless the F1RDS management is willing to give him a special dispensation, I'm afraid we'll have to kindly decline your offer.

Of course, the final decision power resides with the management of Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra, given that we have only loaned Pykälistö from them.

I'm OK with this, and I am 99% sure he would be as well. So that's absolutely no problem.

Why put someone in the third car if you haven't got someone to replace Lamberigts yet?
I need a number though (and you too Melrose!)

Nuppiz wrote:Kostas, you wouldn't mind if I took control of Stefan Kuntz, last year's RoLFS driver who got sacked mid-season? I would like to enter my team in Monaco as a one-off, but I'm a bit short on young drivers, as my only driver who is under 35 years old and doesn't already have other RWRS commitments is Anu Võsu, and I don't think she's ready for this just yet. Although I still have to figure out somebody to fill the second seat, at least I wouldn't have to create two new drivers for this. Just give his age and a bit of backstory and I'll do the rest (wiki page etc.).

Nuppiz wrote:Okay, that's good. I need some backup plans as it is looking increasingly so that all of my current RWRS drivers have little hope of continuing beyond this season. But at the same time I don't want to create new drivers myself because I'm awful at writing backstories and want to keep my drivers at least somewhat interesting. If all else fails I'm ready to change the RoLFS rules so that I can enter it myself to secure at least two of my drivers a racing seat.

Here's my entry for Monaco then:
Nurminen Racing Engineering
Chassis: Dallara
Engine: Zytek
Drivers:
#191 Stefan Kuntz (GER)
#192 Tommi Hämäläinen (FIN)

How is 7357 between 100 and 199?

Plus One kindly ask Aeroracing if they will run young F1RDS driver and championship leader Gary Pacer for this one-off, as special dispensation has been granted
