I don't personally think that, but how else do you explain why he has become a lot slower.

Well the raw statistical and game engine facts are the two Aston Martins are identical, it's just Glotch is a rubbish driver. Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen is by far the fastest Dutchman in RWRS.

It could also just be down to the fact that the car is just average and Tomo Kazama, given that she is the F3RWRS champion and is being trained the Best In The World™ at everything he does, is just FAKKIN AWESUM!

That really was the car though - there was an error in Kit-Kat Warriors' car performance file that wasn't fixed until four rounds to go in the season, at which point he went from dead last to spending entire races well into the points paying positions - unfortunately not finishing three times, but the one time he did, he was a solid fourth (meanwhile his team-mate Shioya finished 16th!). The difference is Glotch's car is fine and he himself is not.

Glotch just got caught out by the fact that the average skill of the entire grid bumped up about 100 performance points over the off-season with many of the top F3RWRS drivers joining the series. Hence why the field is much closer this year that last year, even with the introduction of new engine manufacturers.

As it stands, there is no limit as to how many drivers each team can run per season but I'm considering entering a five-driver limit but with an unlimited amount of stints between each driver for next year onwards.

2015 F2RWRS Monaco Grand Prix

Pre-Qualifying
The Thursday afternoon pre-qualifying session brought our first big shock of the weekend with two big names in GRM Young Lions and Aeroracing dropping into pre-qualifying with Ronden and Jones Racing making it out. This wasn't so much of a problem for GRM as with Daniel Melville replacing the underperforming Tommy Nash, the team easily made it out of pre-qualifying. Phoenix McAllister on the other hand was ripping out what hair he had left when he saw both his drivers slump to 6th and 9th out of the 10 cars in pre-qualifying, ending the team's weekend early and resulting in no Audi cars will start Saturday's race. That being said, Alexey Buyvolov tried his damned hardest to try and haul the Dofasco into the race itself single-handedly with 2nd place behind hometown hero Jean-Vincent Albertini in the Gillet. On a final note, Ashley Lilly earned himself a caution from the stewards for holding up Melville on the Australian's second hot lap, although it didn't end up affecting the final results too much.

1. J-V. Albertini (Gillet-BMW): 1:20.154
2. A. Buyvolov (Dofasco-Audi): +0.366
3. C. Simpson (Young Lions-Holden): +0.403
4. D. Melville (Young Lions-Holden): +0.480
5. E. Swerts (Gillet-BMW): +0.555
6. P. McCracken (Aeroracing-Audi): +0.872
7. A. Lilly (Kingfisher-Holden): +0.996
8. S. Davidson (Kingfisher-Holden): +1.044
9. T. Jason (Aeroracing-Audi): +1.327
10. W. Cieslar (Dofasco-Audi): +1.827

Qualifying

Whilst Mad Uncle Melrose was too busy worrying about whether he would be implicated in the arrest of his neighbours by the German authorities*, qualifying for the F2RWRS race took place in clouding conditions with Samora Mondlane becoming the first African driver ever to drive in a points-scoring F2RWRS race for the Beirao team with Cara's forced absence. Up at the top end of town, three of the four Lancias locked out the first three positions with Wouter Lamberigts taking pole number three for the year from Bastiaan Van Nieuwenhuijzen, who was very lucky that he got a second hot-lap in as he was stranded in 18th place as the checkered flag fell, and Lamberigts' teammate Gigi Pazzini. Dan Greenlaw, the second debutant in the field, acquitted himself well with the MRT to go 6th on the grid in his first F2RWRS race, just ahead of championship contender Andrej Kremnicky, who earned a caution from the stewards for holding up one of the Falik Arrows cars on their hot laps. Dave Anderson also earned himself a caution when he ruined Daniel Melville's one and only hot-lap during qualifying, stranding the Australian on row 9 for Saturday's race.

1. W. Lamberigts (RonDen-Lancia): 1:36.041 (1 point)
2. B. van Nieuwenhuijzen (Alitalia-Lancia): +0.376
3. G. Pazzini (RonDen-Lancia): +0.447
4. C. Simpson (Young Lions-Holden): +0.564
5. J-V. Albertini (Gillet-BMW): +0.591
6. D. Greenlaw (MRT-BMW): +0.594
7. A. Kremnicky (Alitalia-Lancia): +0.625
8. T. Kazama (Aston Martin): +0.661
9. Y. Katayama (Falik-BMW): +0.740
10. M. Cameron (Simpson-BMW): +0.762
11. T. Hawkin (Jones-Aston Martin): +0.773
12. J. Carlisle (Falik-BMW): +0.909
13. E. Swerts (Gillet-BMW): +0.911
14. H. Shioya (Jones-Aston Martin): +0.967
15. C. Lopes (Beirao-BMW): +1.020
16. J. Rueckert (Hydook-Aston Martin): +1.021
17. S. Mondlane (Beirao-BMW): +1.132
18. D. Melville (Young Lions-Holden): +1.132
19. D. Anderson (Simpson-BMW): +1.336
20. A. Marchesi (MRT-BMW): +1.356
21. M. Glotch (Aston Martin): +1.539
22. E. Molinaro (Hydook-Aston Martin): +1.686

*Real life interlude time: Yes, my neighbours did indeed get arrested today by about a dozen AFP agents, allegedly on drug-related charges but that's something for another day.

The race will be run live tomorrow morning at 9am EDST (10pm GMT) if I bother to wake up in the F1RWRS chat room like last time. As far as qualifying penalties go, only cautions are handed out and they're given to people who are on in-laps or out-laps and they hold up someone who is on a hot-lap. As it stands, the cautions for Anderson and Kremnicky don't mean much but I think the caution for Lilly moves him up to a probation. Which means two more cautions or another probation and he'll be running the risk of being benched for at least one race.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 26 Oct 2012, 11:46

I think that if our F2RWRS prospects are going to be this slim for the rest of the season, I might as well arrange a deal with some F1RWRS team that can qualify for races to bring Tanner Jason up. His seat would be up for grabs for anyone interested, although Aeroracing would be extremely pleased if Alexey Buyvolov would like to move to the team in a future.

2015 F2RWRS Monaco Grand Prix
Race

Positives

Wouter Lamberigts - With overtaking as hard as it is at Monaco, many expected Lamberigts to be well on track for a huge result on race day. However, nobody expected him to for contention for the win on what turned out to be a surreal day at the Principality. The Belgian maintain the lead off the start, held all the challengers at bay and took home an incredible victory for both himself and the RonDen team in just the team's fourth race weekend.

Carter Simpson - Rhys Davies' long term project Carter Simpson has been hereunto disappointing in the first few races of the year. However, he turned all that around at Monaco with a mature drive to second and absolutely glued to the gearbox of Lamberigts for the second half of the weekend. Even though he couldn't find a way past Lamberigts, the podium is sure to put a smile on the face of Garry Rogers and co as the team reeks from the fallout of Skaife selling his share in the Holden team.

Jean-Vincent Albertini - The moment he overtook Simpson early in the race, it became clear the Monegasque driver was in it to win the race with an incredible series of laps to close in on the two leading RonDens just before the one-third mark. In a cruel twist of luck, the engine blew up before we really got to see whether the younger Albertini could have beaten Lamberigts home

Catarina Lopes - With Alberto Cara forced to be a spectator this weekend and Samora Mondlane from Beirao's F3RWRS program making his debut, this was always going to be a make-or-break weekend of Lopes' career as a racing driver. She responded to the challenge by scoring her first career points in 6th place by mimicking the strategies of the leading quintet to maximum effect and by keeping Alessandro Marchesi and Johannes Rueckert at bay in the closing stages. Whether it'll keep her career going in the medium-term however remains to be seen.

Negatives

Scuderia Alitalia - Based on what we saw in the first few laps, the team should have walked away with a massive haul of points and taking the initiative from Simpson Motorsport in the early championship running. Instead, they ended up with a big fat zero and on the back foot with both cars retiring due to unrelated mechanical failures for Andrej Kremnicky and Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen, leaving both their drivers with work to do in the championship.

Gianluigi Pazzini/Dan Greenlaw - Both of them had remarkably similar races, hence why both have been grouped together. Both were in commanding positions for podium finishes after their first stops. Both choked and lost front wings at the harbourfront chicane whilst trying to overtake Johannes Rueckert. Both failed to make an impression on the field at large after that point as both of them ended up outside the top 10 although Greenlaw did walk home with fastest lap of the race.

Daniel Melville - After having his qualifying lap ruined by Dave Anderson, many expected that he'd scrape in a point at the absolute minimum. Instead, he put in an incredibly anonymous performance as he spent the entire event nowhere near the points before a puncture put a merciful early end to his race.

Yuka Katayama - The minute she ran off the road at the harbourfront chicane with the help of Terry Hawkin, you knew she was going to be in for a bad day. The bad form continued for the rest of the afternoon as she spent all of it trolling around the back of the field before having a mindless accident at Massenet to finish off the race. On a day largely devoid of reject performance, she took home an easy ROTR.

Terry Hawkin wrote:Today was a good race for me, the car went really well, and on the 1-stop strategy I was able to stay with the front bunch once the 2 stoppers had been cleared. It's a shame that I only come away with 5th place, but with passing so hard and having seen others cock up trying to overtake, I decided to play it safe and score some more solid points. The car's pace shows that there's definite potential to score regular podiums, and I'd like to think a race win this year isn't too far away.

Josh Carlisle wrote:I was gutted to get the puncture, I was definitely on for decent points once again, and seeing as Yuka had such a poor race, it was the perfect opportunity to show the paddock just what potential I have. The race up until the retirement had gone fine, and since then I've spoken to Sammy [Jones] and he was really impressed with my drive. I think he's interested in re-starting a partnership with me again, which would be very exciting for 2016, depending on the offers I get.

Sammy Jones wrote:Terry did a great job today, stayed with the leaders all race, and was unlucky to come away with just a fifth place to show for it. Hansuke had a somewhat more disappointing race, but Monaco is a difficult track to master and we fully expect him to return to a better performance next time out. I must admit the highlight of the weekend has to be the capitulation of the Alitalia team yet again. Lindsay and his mugs are single-handedly ruining the careers of two very promising young drivers, and if I were them I'd reconsider their future plans with the team.

Considering what the Aston Martin teams are doing with what is effectively the same engine as the Audi, the powerplant's not too much of a problem. What is the problem however is Jason's innate inability to string a lap in qualifying together. However, if results stay as they are, HRT would escape Pre-Qualifying after Britain and Hydook would drop down in their place, which would help your cause massively and make things really interesting for the rest of us.

2015 F2RWRS French Grand Prix
Pre-Qualifying

The look on Garry Rogers' and John Zimmer's faces at the end of the session said it all when not one of the Holden-powered cars made it out of the Saturday morning pre-qualifying session, held in treacherously wet conditions. And the blame for the awful showing laid squarely on the shoulders on one Daniel Melville as he got his car buriedpin a sandtrap on his first lap, before following it up with a critical error at turn 1 on his second lap, ruining any chance the Young Lions team had of making it to that afternoon's qualifying session. The big winners out of all of Holden's misery were the tiny Dofasco team as their two drivers of Alexey Buyvolov and new recruit Laurent Seron made it out of pre-qualifying along with the Gillet duo of Jean-Vincent Albertini and debutant Gregor Pascal, who topped the session.

1. G. Pascal (Gillet-BMW): 1:17.433
2. C. Simpson (Young Lions-Holden): +0.411
3. L. Seron (Dofasco-Audi): +0.627
4. J-V. Albertini (Gillet-BMW): +0.788
5. A. Buyvolov (Dofasco-Audi): +0.810
6. P. McCracken (Aeroracing-Audi): +1.044
7. S. Davidson (Kingfisher-Holden): +1.659
8. T. Jason (Aeroracing-Audi): +1.705
9. A. Lilly (Kingfisher-Holden): +1.820
10. D. Melville (Young Lions-Holden): +2.307

Qualifying

By the time the later than usual qualifying session came around, it had stopped raining but the track was still quite wet but drying incredibly quickly. Tomo Kazama ended up scoring the first pole position of her career by virtue of being the last driver to complete a hotlap, when the track was at its driest. Others that benefited massively by leaving their best efforts till last included Jean-Vincent Albertini and Josh Carlisle in 2nd and 3rd, and Jones Racing's Hansuke Shioya in 5th.

On the other side of the coin, both Alitalias missed the boat with Andrej Kremnicky's second run coming too early, relegating him to a lowly 16th on the grid, and Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen earning himself a caution for holding up Terry Hawkin, which means the Dutchman's race ban may come into effect for the next race in Great Britain. Hawkin then lost his cool and returned the favour blocking the Alitalia driver at the end of his hot lap, earning himself a caution for his troubles and with both starting next to each other on the grid, many are expecting fireworks on the first lap. However, they didn't miss the boat as spectacularly as the Hydook team as they take one precarious leap closer to pre-qualifying with both cars stranded well down the order for Sunday's race. Finally, a caution was also handed out to Catarina Lopes for holding up Alexey Buyvolov on his hot lap whilst the two RonDens got caught up in an embarrassing mixup at the end of the session, leading to Gianluigi Pazzini holding up teammate Wouter Lamberigts and earning himself his first caution for the year as a result.

1. T. Kazama (Aston Martin): 1:10.788 (1 point)
2. J-V. Albertini (Gillet-BMW): +0.555
3. J. Carlisle (Falik-BMW): +0.692
4. W. Lamberigts (RonDen-Lancia): +1.041
5. H. Shioya (Jones-Aston Martin): +1.080
6. A. Cara (Beirao-BMW): +1.176
7. Y. Katayama (Falik-BMW): +1.266
8. G. Pazzini (RonDen-Lancia): +1.527
9. M. Cameron (Simpson-BMW): +1.683
10. M. Robertson (MRT-BMW): +2.090
11. L. Seron (Dofasco-Audi): +2.143
12. T. Hawkin (Jones-Aston Martin): +2.159
13. B. van Nieuwenhuijzen (Alitalia-Lancia): +2.182

16. A. Kremnicky (Alitalia-Lancia): +3.290
17. G. Pascal (Gillet-BMW): +3.329
18. A. Buyvolov (Dofasco-Audi): +3.823
19. C. Lopes (Beirao-BMW): +4.176

The race will be at the same time as last week (9am Saturday EDST). However, I will be doing the coverage in the new chatroom instead of the old ZippyChat one.

Would there be a problem to promote Martin van der Maayeyde from F3 and demote either Ashley Lilly or Scott Davidson from F2? Martin has been pretty quick in F3 and it might help our chances to qualify for once.
