Niko Nurminen wrote:Hämäläinen did a solid job considering his lack of experience, while the mechanic responsible for Kuntz's retirement has been given a reprimand to improve his work, or else. Nurmester was just as bad as I expected him to be. Not a bad result for Pykälistö either, being ahead of one of the regular Prospec drivers.

Jordan Davies wrote:Yeah, that was a pretty okay race, I guess. We weren't as good as we were earlier, but the team did a great job with the strategy and we got another great finish. It's really awesome to be leading the championship again, hopefully it'll be for longer this time. Like, until the end of the season! Heh.

Considering the race had 60 cars, it was a very, very boring event. So to change it up, I'm going to do a team by team review.

West Cliff Racing
Four teams had two cars in the points, and West Cliff was one of them, with Davies 4th and Port 8th. Fairly quiet races for the pair, Davies not quite on the pace but a good strategy saw him pressuring Jantscher for a podium. Their third car, driven by Stephanie Brown, was also impressive, finishing 14th, the second best of the one-off cars.

Because Lucarelli and Crescenzi are average drivers. If I were you, I'd promote Hannesson, since he was on course to match at least Swerts in qualifying until he got to the chicane and got held up in traffic in the race.

She could drive for JLD if she wants as long as she drives for West Cliff at Spa and also at any 2015 race that Jordan Davies or Peter Port are forced to miss for whatever reason (injury, etc.). And she agrees to it of course.

The other two of Charlie Griffin and Bob Sampson, might as not as well have been in the race, although they did make up 24 and 12 places respectively, but in a car that can score a load of points, Bob Sampson really needs to find some speed or he will find himself in the job queue faster then he can get out of the car. However, I would like to offer Charlie Griffin a 3 race deal starting from the British GP and then racing in Germany and Spa.

I did smile at Jones BMW failures, maybe he should look at those Zytek engines again.

How did they become average drivers then? Lucarelli's a race winner and Crescenzi has three podiums. That's what I don't understand, we still have a good technical package yet the drivers have gone backwards.

the Masked Lapwing wrote:Because Lucarelli won a reverse grid race, which counted for squat, and Crescenzi had the bonus of a good car. It's not my fault you kept your average drivers for your F3 team (Pazzini would probably have been a fair bit better). But if Parma Corse wish to withdraw, I won't stop them.

She will be available to other commitments at West Cliff bar a 'loan' to JLD for Spa SuperPrix

SRMP wrote:Nurmester: I was treated unfairly

After being sacked by the F3RWRS team JLD Motorsport following the Monaco SuperPrix, Nurmester has given the media comments suggesting that he was not treated equally to the team's other driver Joel Melrose.

"It was clear right from the beginning - Melrose was the team's favorite driver because his brother happens to be the owner of the team", Nurminen commented. "I was only brought aboard because no-one else was willing to drive alongside Joel, and the team needed to run two cars to get all of the sponsorship money. My car was always slower than Melrose's and had parts which were well past their use-by date. The engines had no mileage left in them at all, and any team that endangers their driver by putting worn-out brakes into their car should have no business in any form of motorsports", he continued. "They did this to hide the fact that Joel Melrose is an utterly incompetent driver and is only in the sport because of his brother's influence".

Daniel Melrose or the personnel of JLD Motorports were unable to comment at the time of writing.

Are you perhaps an aspiring team owner, but have no-one to drive your cars? Or maybe you have drivers who are not performing in a way you'd expect in relation to their wages? Look no further, as former Formula One World Championship and F1 Rejects GP2 Championship driver Niko Nurminen is here to help! Our management office currently has a few drivers looking for race seats who have either been unjustifiably dumped by other teams or are still looking for their breakthrough into the world of Reject Motorsport. Currently the following drivers are available:

Nick Nurmester, 27: former JLD driver in F3RWRS, who was treated badly to make Daniel Melrose's brother Joel look better than what he truly is.
Stefan Kuntz, 27: German driver left out in the cold by the Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squdra despite promising results, including one win in the Rejects of LFS.
Tommi Hämäläinen, 18: Promising Finn with wins from FRenault 2.0 Eurocup and a Formula Ford championship to boot.

All drivers have relatively low wage requirements, and we will take only a very modest sum as the management fee.

Unless BLN objects (it's his driver after all, unless I'm missing something), or a better deal comes to pass, I have no problem with this. It would open up a slot for Nurmester in my own SuperPrix entry, and if he is paired with Kuntz it'll probably be the oldest driver pairing in the whole F3RWRS...

He's all yours, Nuppiz. I thought that was the deal...

Daniel Melrose wrote:Unfair? UNFAIR? Mate, you were the one who was doing absolute shite on track. Hell, I would have sacked your teammate as well for all the repair bills he's given me this year but at least he's scoring points. Besides, I don't have anyone half-decent in line to replace him with and in all fairness, I was lucky someone of Brown's calibre came onto the market after Monaco.

Niko Nurminen wrote:Hey Nick, all is not lost. I've heard that Jones Racing are interested in giving you a drive, because they're getting tired of Eric Swerts' poor performance. Just let me handle all of this, OK? You just keep your mouth shut and sign the paperwork when it's time for that, you've already caused enough damage with your big mouth.
