You tell me about driver problems. :roll:

Unless I happen to find the Legendary Super Soviet who only appears once a thousand years, I am in deep trouble. Especially if my driver keeps picking up penalty points.

Posted: **15 Jul 2012, 00:40**

I have Australia and Spain.

Fifth place. Never should've doubted you, Louis. Never should've doubted my other two guys either, they did great.

I had to put that emoticon there or that might've gotten mistaken for sarcasm.

Headland for Monaco.

Godia will race for spain until round 5.

I really can't think of any other Soviet drivers out there and there doesn't seem to be anything on Metelev's birth-date so I don't even know when he would retire.

Gonzalez will race again in Monaco

Posted: **15 Jul 2012, 18:19**

Ill keep the same driver for round 3, Is Mexico my only country or??

Posted: **15 Jul 2012, 19:57**

Peter Whitehead remains our first choice.

Switzerland are doing rather damn well. This is good.

Posted: **15 Jul 2012, 22:02**

awwww yeah, once again Manzon will be in the car. 1950 will be our year.

Posted: **15 Jul 2012, 22:32**

Defenitely has to be a ROTR for Jan Flinterman

He will return to for the 1951 race, meanwhile Van Der Lof will show that Holland is not entirely worthless.

The South-African team doesn't seem that bad, and McKenzie is decent. But they'll keep rotating through the season to see which driver is the best future prospect.

Posted: **16 Jul 2012, 04:58**

I mentioned this before, but it doesn't look like it was put in the wiki, so Headland will race for Wales at Monaco.

Posted: **16 Jul 2012, 05:18**

What races that Parsons will be not able to take part this season?

I'm going for the next five days.

Le Mans and Spa, rounds 4 and 6.

Posted: **17 Jul 2012, 13:20**

Since Monaco will only have room for 26 cars, (there are in fact only 20 pit stalls meaning that for a 33 car grid most teams would have to share which can easily create dodgy situations) I will run a pre-qualifying session for all teams that are currently outside the top 20 in points. So only the top 6 of this session will make the race, the rest fail to qualify.

EDIT

Piero Taruffi is on pole for Italy.

Full qualifying results here.

While Paul Pietsch has done a great job thus far, Douglas-Cliff Racing will run Hans Stuck in a one-off at Belgium for A1 Team Germany before cycling between the two for 1951.

Posted: **18 Jul 2012, 16:02**

Well that was a bit of a disaster and frankly the series is seriously considering not returning to Monaco again and are looking at other street circuits to run at in the future. Only five cars actually made the finish though Paul Pietsch completed enough laps to be classified in 6th, while 14 cars were out within the first 20 laps.

On the other hand we did have our closest finish so far as Toulo de Graffenried just held on to win for Switzerland from Italy's Piero Taruffi by under a second.

Full results and report coming soon.

Each individual aspect is good in this team, but we just cannot get them all to work together at once. I think maybe also the pit strategist must be a Milanisti, so I will fire him at once and replace him with someone else, so we don't lose another race win with a stupid strategy like this.

Forgot to save the replay so I couldn't get any screen shots of the race.

Round 4 at Le Mans will be run this weekend so I'll need confirmed drivers by Friday for those with multiple drivers that haven't set their plans already.

There were a couple of injuries from the Monaco weekend, first Eliška Junková sustained a fractured leg and concussion from her lap 12 accident and will be out of action for the next two races. Czechoslovakia will need to find another driver for those races.

Both Argentina drivers were injured during their Formula One exploits during the same weekend at Monaco. Alfredo Pián suffered a heavy accident in practice and was ejected from his car, sustaining serious leg injuries. He has made the difficult decision to retire from motorsport.

After his heavy crash the day before in the A1 Grand Prix race, José Froilán González had another on lap 2 of the F1 race, resulting in his car catching fire. He will be unable to compete at the French A1 Grand Prix due to the burns he sustained from the crash.

Since both drivers are unable to compete, Argentina will need to find a third driver for the next round at Le Mans.

Finally Johnnie Parsons has commitments to race in the AAA Championship at Langhorn Speedway on the same weekend as Le Mans. United States must find an alternative driver for that weekend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950_AAA_C ... Car_season

Posted: **18 Jul 2012, 20:30**

For Le Mans, I would like to put Maurice Trintignant in the car. Thanks.

Argentinian A1 GP Team wrote:We wish Alfredo well, and hope he has a long and happy life after F1. Although the partnership was short, it was enjoyable, with Alfredo always joking and laughing around the team base. We would like to offer him a senior management and driver scouting role at the team once he is fully recovered. Our wishes to go out to Jose, who we wish a speedy recovery. His replacement until his return will be Marcos Ciani. We welcome Marcos to the team with open arms, and hope he can deliver some strong results to help edge closer to the front.

Equipe Monaco wrote:Are we happy with Louis' performance today? Well, he crashed, so no. Yes, he took at the lead at the start, but that doesn't matter if you crash four turns into the race. We know it's Monaco and everyone crashed, but we've dropped down to third and it's his fault.

Danish Motorsports wrote:We at Danish Motorsports would like to commend Robert's incredible not crashing skills which have moved us up to ninth in the championship. Here's hoping for another thirteenth place at France, because really, Monaco was crazy and we should never go back there.

Newport Racing wrote:Charles sucked.

Jack... John... whatever his real first name is, Jack/John Niell will make his first appearance for Newport Racing at France.

Posted: **19 Jul 2012, 07:32**

Harry Schell will act as Parsons' stand-in in rounds 4 and 6.

Posted: **20 Jul 2012, 07:41**

same drivers for me

Posted: **20 Jul 2012, 19:11**

Will run the Le Mans round over the weekend. Just need England and Czechoslovakia to confirm dirvers.

AdrianSutil I presume you are still using Whitehead? And Pointrox you need a stand in for Junkova for the next two races. If you've not picked by tomorrow then I'll choose someone for you.

Posted: **21 Jul 2012, 11:40**

Zdenek Pohl will stand in for Junkova.

Posted: **22 Jul 2012, 00:57**

Maurice Trintignant takes pole on his debut for France, this also makes him the first ever home pole-sitter. Peter Whitehead will start alongside for England while Harry Schell will start an impressive 3rd on his debut for the United States.

Trintignant becomes first driver to win from pole after a race long battle with Whitehead. This also means that France are the first repeat winners of the season. Paul Pietsch completed the podium.

Should point out that I had to use the modern layout of Le Mans, I couldn't get the 60s version to work.

And also for once the backmarkers behaved themselves and didn't hold anyone up. For the first time, no penalties were handed out.

Report will come later this evening.

EDIT

Report is up. Round 5 at the Nürburgring will be run either Wednesday or Thursday. As usual confirm your driver by then if you haven't already.

Posted: **23 Jul 2012, 21:57**

Since it is essential to give West Germany a morale downgrade, Willy Lehmann will lose his seat for the remainder of 1950 unless he manages to both finish in the Top 10 and beat West Germany's car. Should that happen, Edgar Barth will take over the car.

Posted: **23 Jul 2012, 22:12**

Equipe Monaco wrote:Sixth is slightly disappointing for Louis. It's still really good, but not compared to what we're used to. It's like in 1932 when Nuvolari came in second instead of winning. We're getting beaten by France and Switzerland and Italy, and Louis, we mean we together just can't let that keep happening.

Danish Motorsports wrote:We'd like to apologise to Robert for having our car fail on him. Not that he was getting points anyway, but still.

Newport Racing wrote:Jack sucked.

Jack Niell will get another chance at Germany.

Posted: **23 Jul 2012, 22:42**

Having failed to deliver results expected, Alex McGlashan will be dropped by Ecurie Ecosse in favour of Comish Hunter.

Posted: **24 Jul 2012, 13:42**

I have released the 10 round provisional calender for 1951.

http://f1alternate.wikkii.com/wiki/A1_G ... 951_Season

Posted: **24 Jul 2012, 14:07**

Hmm, Trintignant will represent France once more after an impressive Le Mans, Trintignant for the next round please.

Posted: **24 Jul 2012, 14:21**

Just England, Mexico and Peru left to confirm their drivers for Germany.

Posted: **24 Jul 2012, 14:43**

Gonzalez will race at the the remaining rounds, except America, where Marcos Ciani will again be in the car. If anything happens to Gonzalez, put Ciani in the car please

Argentinia would also like to see an Argentinian round added to the calendar to justify our involvement in the championship.

When Argentinia become dormant (i.e. no good drivers) can I switch to another (unclaimed) country?

Posted: **24 Jul 2012, 14:58**

Rather than having an Argentinian round, we need a round in socialist space to emphasise the global nature of our series. That is why we propose a street race around the Leipziger Stadtpark.
