What about current Simpson drivers? Michael Cameron wouldn't mind a run-out in F1RWRS machinery. He's not willing to be a pay-driver though.

To be fair, having fallen foul of this last season, I've not tweaked a thing on my team this year. And the only reason I changed things around in F2RWRS is because one of my drivers got banned.

But if Ben Fleet messes up in Pre-Quali again...*rubs hands together in a somehow evil manner*

There's a rumour that this is Ben Fleet's final season anyway...

But there won't be any explanation as to why until much later....

Absolutely, I just wanted to get confirmation from their owners/managers before putting them on the list. I'll also put Macklin and Anderson on the list for a drive in the test if that is fine with Wizzie and FMecha.

J.O.U.R.N.A.L wrote:Gauthier linked to Sunshine takeover?

The Sunshine F1RWRS team, which has been in a slump recently since the rift with their (former) driver Shinobu Katayama (left since), has been linked to a possible takeover/buyout by Equipe Gauthier, run by former 1979-80s McLaren (not Renault, sorry - thanks for tip, Mr, Pasta - editor notice) driver Guillaume Gauthier, who was notorious for his controversial buyout of Tyrrell in 1997 F1RGP2C season. Gauthier - who recently denied any links with English racing team The Fighting Mongosees, contary to previous reports - is in the first in the official F1RWRS waiting list. Gauthier declined to comment.

After yet another factual blunder, the RWRS 'newspaper' J.O.U.R.N.A.L has seen sales drop down by 12.7%, just over an eighth of its readership. Recently, it has attempted to document the ongoing situation at Sunshine, where it has suggested various different sales. Our message to J.O.U.R.N.A.L is this: keep linking the team with enough people, and you might get there one day.

Autosport wrote:Lagos: "We still have major interest in Yuka's career"

João Lagos broke press silence today by confirming that Yuka Katayama not only be Sunshine's third driver for the remainder of the season as "2016 might bring good things to her career", leaving the idea that Yuka has a chance of being promoted to a Sunshine drive. "Of course we follow closely her career as we still have major interest Yuka's career. We are supporting her through her F2RWRS season". For Mr Lagos, the fact that Yuka is Shinobu sister, doesn't imply that she shares her sister views, "we will obviously look solely on her driving prowess and not on who is her sister or not". About the latest Sunshine sell-out rumours Mr Lagos only said that "I am not familiar about the rumours you speak of but I am familiar with the J.O.U.R.N.A.L publication. I find it very useful as toilet paper or to light a fireplace whenever someone drops it at home".

And yes, we are looking into a possible long-term contract for Neuberg but before we get to that stage, we'll see how he goes in the next three races. And finally, we have no problem with Macklin driving in the Simpson test

You're probably shocked I said that, aren't you? Anyway, think about it: He's got the best car on the grid, and he's shown his raw speed before. With the Hermanos Rodriguez track unlikely to suit the DGNs, and with AeroRacing or Jones lacking that extra bit of pace to win, provided Neuberg keeps it on the road and can fend off Davies, he could be in with a shot at victory

The International Beacon wrote:HERRMANN MANN SPEWS OUT OUTRAGEOUS PREDICTIONS WHILST DRUNK
Unconfirmed reports that Herrmann Mann, the owner of the Foxdale Auto Racing Team, has been seen drunk around the press claiming that David Neuberg, who will be subbing in for Philip Nicholas at Melrose Racing Team, will win the next race at Mexico City. Although we can confirm that has been saying these things, we cannot confirm if he was drunk or if that's the way he usually says things. More updates will be posted once we get more information. Or maybe a writer who isn't being sued by the Dagnall twins...

Actually, I've decided that ShoutWiki is much better. I just have to create the said wiki.

My plan is to wait until the serves come back on, and then export them to my computer, where I will inevitably slowly upload them to ShoutWiki.

Just had a look at their website, and it looks really good. I think you should create a wiki now, so people can start to re create their pages and things, and so that F1RWRS testing can resume. If the wiki is ready there, then if, and i say if because I doubt it will, the old wiki comes online people can just copy there stuff over

I've pretty much copy-pasted all the RDS stuff from the Wikia page, all I need are flag icons and to do the calendar.

He's been gone for, what, a few hours? And you're already trying to get rid of his teams. Be patient, give him a chance to come back, and then we can discuss what to do.
