You might want to check your inbox as I've already spent it all.

And Aeroracing might as well put those credits to good use by giving the car a fighting chance of making it to the end of a race

Yes, I read your email, but I actually discount credits at the same moment I apply your requests to the carset, which I haven't done yet.

Because we still had money left over after the beginning of the year, spent nothing yet on upgrades and Neuberg is a pay-drier.

After that absmal performance from Martin McFry at the start of the race, Foxdale Auto Racing Team have decided to drop him for a single race. Foxdale have put in a request to Alitalia to allow Ben Fleet to return to Foxdale for a race before returning to Alitalia again after that. (McFry would be free in exchange if they wished.) Failing that, Pippa Mann would insist to Aeroracing that she be free to race to race for her own team again for a single race.

Reports are swirling about that ArrowTech-Acuri boss The Fox is trying to get by Scuderia Alitalia to let Andrej Kremnicky replace recently sacked driver Saeed Al Faisal. The Fox has said in an interview that Kremnicky "is long overdue" for his first race in the F1RWRS. "Kremnicky has a huge amount of talent, and I think he would be a very valuable asset to the team." Alitalia boss Alastair Lindsay, or anyone else from Alitalia, has yet to comment.

And no, I don't expect him to be a pay-driver. In fact, I want him to be a regular driver.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport wrote:Lindsay: Kremnicky is off-limits

Scuderia Alitlaia team principal Alasdair Lindsay has given a firm hands-off warning to all F1RWRS teams in regard to star F2RWRS driver Andrej Kremnicky, who is being courted by ArrowTech to replace the recently sacked Saeed Al Faisal.

"The Fox is out of his mind," said Lindsay. "To be fair, he's on the money in terms of his value to any team, and his very clear natural talent, but the idea that he thinks he can hire anyone at his wish is ridiculous."

"Andrej has an iron-clad contract covering both F2RWRS and F1RWRS. He is commited to Scuderia Alitalia on a multi-year contract, one that goes beyond this season. As far as contracts are concerned, he's probably the best yardstick by which to measure the phrase 'off the market' - there is absolutely no possibility for him to jump ship at any point in the near future. And why would he want to? He has an F2RWRS championship challenge to focus on. He's still a young lad, only 18, there's no need to rush him up the racing ladder at such pace. He'll make the step up when he is ready. He's getting close, but not quite there yet."

Dofasco will also need a replacement for van de Schoot won't they?

Autosport wrote:Shinobu Katayama hints at availability
Although signed for Revolution, Shinobu Katayama has hinted that she would be happy to help Arrowtech out for a race or two until The Fox can find another driver to fill the place of Al-Faisal. The highly talented Katayama has only had two races this season before leaving Sunshine, but is a proven race winner.

Autosport wrote:Van Rijkens excited to make debut in F1RWRS

Danny van Rijkens could hardly hide his excitement as he was interviewed by reporters ahead of making his debut in the F1RWRS, driving for the Tropico team. He will replace series veteran Darren Older Jr who it seems is finally bidding farewell to the sport which has seen him compete in every season since it's introduction in 2010.

"I can't wait to get myself in the car, the last couple of weeks have gone like a complete blur. Ever since I signed for Tropico I haven't been able to think about anything else except getting into the car and trying to qualify for the race. I know it will be a difficult task but I'm going to give it my all and repay the faith the Tropico bosses have put in me. To be the first African driver in the F1RWRS is just fantastic. I hope many more follow in my footsteps and that I can be an inspiration to those growing up and witnessing this special event across the African continent."

Whose driver is van de Schoot? He doesn't appear on the drivers contracts list. If it happens to be eurobrun's, then I'll get in touch with The Lukas to name a replacement driver.

Foxdale Auto Racing Team would like to thank Alitalia for agreememnt to this swap for this one race.

In a shock announcement, F3RWRS driver Franc Piscine has been signed by MRT to test for them in 2016. Piscine, of Swiss origin, will bring funds to the MRT team in the form of Milka sponsorship worth an undisclosed amount of millions. He is also managed by Plus One Group, who after the recent Koczo-gate, will be keen to stay out of controversy.

"It is a dream come true" said Piscine "MRT are an extremely strong team and I am extremely hap[py to be working with them".

The deal, which will see Piscine be one of MRT's official test drivers for 2016, may see the Swiss driver race in F1RWRS in years to come, but whether that will be achieved is yet to be known

Autocar wrote:Shinobu Katayama to replace Al Faisal at ArrowTech
After giving away hints of her availability, Shinobu Katayama was given a contract to race for the next two races at the very least. "If I had things my way, I would have signed her until the rest of the season, but she said about commitments to Revolution. I find this rather silly, but I told her the offer still stands, and she can still race at ArrowTech for the rest of the season. She's got to recover her career, and ArrowTech is a good place to start."

Just finished updating the stats on the wiki, and a few notables stuck out:

This is 100% truth, honestly.

Steele got absolute demolished by two average and one good F3RWRS drivers, 2 really average F2RWRS drivers in bloody Kingfishers, his useless teammate in the F1RWRS, a guy who hasn't raced since 2011, A MECHA, AND some Dutch bloke whose replacing one of the average F2RWRS drivers.

How exactly will this affect Hamilton's role in the team? I am quite worried, especially after it was said that he wouldn't end up in F2RWRS in 2016 as was originally planned.

With Davies buggering off at the end of the year and Robertson being absolutely demolished by Marchesi, Hamilton is now guaranteed a F2RWRS seat next year (Hell, if Melrose/Davies relations go any lower, he might even get a few F1RWRS drives near the end of this season). Joel Melrose will probably shift over to the RoLFS team with James Douglas taking his seat in the F3RWRS, with Piscine being the second driver for either the F3RWRS or RoLFS team.

Long story short: I've finally got my house in order and STILL got at least one seat to spare.

Jordan Davies wrote:Yeah, that was really awesome! That Kamaha was pretty good to drive, I didn't make many mistakes at all! Though a couple of laps I was on, I could've gone even faster than the guys ahead of me, but I mucked up the braking at Stirlings. But I was fastest over a whole race simulation, which my cousin James told me is more important, so I'm not too worried about that. But yeah, I had a lot of fun driving an F1RWRS car today, that's the second time now, and I really hope I get another test soon, because I think I'm getting better every time!

Long story short: MRT have the worst driver management in history.
