Shinji Zanmai wrote:Nissan will confirm their entry into the series, Shinobu Katayama is going back to Japan to do Formula Nippon as she has her sights on the pinacle of F1RWRS, Barii Mori now has a full time drive so he is going to work on that. So we will enter, Nobou Takahashi, a talented if overlooked driver in F3 and Formula Nippon. We are also looking for a French or American driver to partner alongside him, so watch this space.

So my entry is

#0 - Nobou Takahashi
#2 - Open (as long as you are French or American, or at least want to pretend to be).

I've just been putting Castrol Jones Racing's results into the new wiki from the F1RLFS Cup, and noticed a few irregularities.

According to the finishing positions for each race, the team should have a total of 25 points, not 28.

Sammy Jones should have 14 points not 15.

Joey Tempest should have 12 points not 13.

I have factored in the pole for Tempest, but as far as I'm aware, neither picked up any fastest laps.

Just looking for clarification Pointrox, which is correct, the finishing position for each race posted, or the points at the end of the year?

It doesn't alter the standings much, the team stays where it was, and depending on countback, there'll be a couple of moves mid-table. However if there are other irregularities it could get a bit heavy. I'll go through and re-edit this post if there are any others with mis-calculated positions/points.

EDIT:
I take that back about Jones' total, it is correct at 15. There are however a couple of other errors (nothing too serious though).

Katayama's total should be 27 not 28
Cannon's total should be 23 not 22
Sbai's total should be 13 not 14
Tempest's total should be 12 not 13
Cockburn's total should be 10 not 11
Nicolas' total should be 10 not 9

As I said earlier, it only really affects a few midfield drivers up and down one or two places. There are however 2 or 3 uncounted fastest laps to be awarded (1 point each) but even that doesn't account for all the errors.

Whilst I'm assuming the results are correct and the points totals wrong, it could equally be the other way round. Only Pointrox knows this.

So Pointrox could I respectfully request a revised final championship table for both drivers and teams for 2011 please?

And here comes Trueba's livery, a very Italian Job not too much rejectful and not so wonderful:

Final call to arms!
We have all 13 team slots filled, but some of the teams haven't signed a second driver yet!
Hereby I announce, that if drivers won't be signed till 19:00 CET, we will close the entry submission and team will be represented by the sole driver, whose name was submitted in the team entry.

I'm also glad to inform you all that most of the cars were repainted and assembled, and will be shipped to Czech Republic soon. We will start pre-season tests on Friday, at Autodrom Most, with coverage on our official YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/LFSRejectsCup

Stay tuned

That was a bit short notice to say that enteries would be closed.

Can I just add Didier Honoré (France) as my second driver and Marco Van Danne (Netherlands) to Starforces team?

Volker Weidler Street Run is a support race for Bavarian Grand Prix, and Jos the Boss Special is a support race for Dutch Grand Prix

In that case you may have to change the calendar

Welcome to the team!
Can you do a very basic car design?

Posted: **17 Aug 2011, 23:27**

Gah, missed the signups. If its available, put Sebastien Groves in the second Lotus Bakeries. Can't wait for the free doughnuts. Yum

Kuryavskiy fastest in 1st test session
Kazakh Roman Kuryavskiy was the fastest driver of the first test session at Autodrom Most. Formanek Racing Team driver set the fastest lap at the end of the session, taking the lead from Nobou Takahashi of Sunshine Infiniti.
Although all the cars has been delivered on the track and were assembled to the very last moment, Rosenforth Engineering drivers couldn't take part in the session because of unexpectedly closed airport in Prague.

I'm delighted to see ourselves in the midfield in this very competitive field. We need to keep this way in order to improve.

As promised - some footage from today's test session.
You can also check some liveries and give your feedback on them

F1RLFS Cup renamed to IRDU Rejects Cup
International Reject Drivers Union president, John Dennis Alcatraz, has announced today that the new-born series will be renamed to IRDU Rejects Cup from 2012 on.
The name change was caused by losing one of the key sponsors - Scavier Solutions, racing game developers that created Live for Speed. They also have relaunched their official YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/IRDURejectsCup

rFactor offered more than LFS ever could. Some say that a rain of papayas was involved but then you should ask HWNSNBM himself

Second session results are up! http://bit.ly/o1ffG1
As well as some more photos - finally you can see all the liveries. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvMaQ2r

Posted: **23 Aug 2011, 20:38**

I approve of that livery!

And again, both SF cars finished in the exact middle of the field. Not bad for a new team, I gotta say.

Posted: **24 Aug 2011, 23:11**

not bad for a one-car team

and where's my second sponsor? (for the rest i think the livery is good)

Posted: **25 Aug 2011, 06:58**

Can Rosenforth have a proper livery now?

Okay, Rosenforth livery is almost finished but can you tell me what logo is on the airbox?

Macklin leads final test day
QANTAS MRT driver Mitchell Macklin set the fastest time as the 2012 pre-season testing season ended at Autodrom Most today.
Macklin, Australian rookie that will debut in IRDU Rejects Cup at Watkins Glen, put in a late effort to narrowly beat the other Australian driver, Rhys Davies, whose team - Rosenforth Engineering - premiered their livery.
Another rookie, Dan Greenlaw, was the pace-setter for most of the session.
Last year's underdogs - Scuderia de Cesaris - were performing very decently. Ismail Sbai and Vincent de Nieuwe eventually took 4th and 5th place.

Results available here: http://bit.ly/oAJUf5

It's Fidanza on the airbox, but could you please put "Rosenforth" on there like the test livery? I liked that. It was awesome

Posted: **05 Nov 2011, 09:16**

Anything happening with this?

Posted: **05 Nov 2011, 09:55**

I suffered severe brain fade and deleted the whole rFactor folder with IRDU Rejects Cup files in it. What's more, I failed miserably at recovering at least part of it.
Unfortunately I have to put the series on hold, but when I get to find me some free time, I'll try to revive it

Posted: **05 Nov 2011, 16:49**

it is true: entering team lotus bakeries into a series really brings bad luck to the series :shock:
