Grand Prix Rejects

Wizzie wrote:Guess what? It's that time of year again. The F2RWRS Commission would like to announce two off-season non-championship races to keep the clowns in the corporate boxes entertained, and to give some F3RWRS and RoLFS young guns a shot in F2RWRS machinery.

The rules are almost identical to last year in that any F3RWRS and RoLFS driver can take a seat as long as they have done less than 3 F2RWRS races. For this year, we're also accepting drivers from Ferrarist's IndyCar series so long as they fufill the less than 3 races criteria. Entries are open to any team on the 2016 F2RWRS entry list but since there's only eleven slots, it'll be on a first come, first served basis. The first race will be the Luxembourg Grand Prix, held at the Lausitzring on Lappy's suggestion after he witnessed a crazy test race there. The second will be the Tropican Grand Prix, at a venue to be decided at a latest date and no doubt funded by the Mad Uncle himself.

Anyways, here's the entry list below:

Slot 1 - Melrose Racing Team
Slot 2 - Available
Slot 3 - Available
Slot 4 - Available
Slot 5 - Available
Slot 6 - Available
Slot 7 - Available
Slot 8 - Available
Slot 9 - Available
Slot 10 - Available
Slot 11 - Available

I accepted the Red Bull entry because they're a full-time entry for next year. However, your entry doesn't fill that criteria. Therefore, it has been declined. You're still free to send tour drivers over to other teams though.

Which reminds me, Eurobrun has the choice between Aston Martin and Holden engines for the two events as BMW are already at their quota, Lancia probably aren't going to give you guys engines in a month of Sundays and Audi are pulling out at the end of the year. You're free to change engine suppliers after those two races though depending on what's available.

He's all yours IF you want to take over his management, because he'll put me over my 5 driver limit next year (Rietacher, Pacer, VDM, Piscine,and a surprise announcement)

Bathplug, I guess that might be possible depending on if other people are interested in a couple new free agents I am creating. So maybe

I can take him if you want because I'm down to either three (Macklin, J. Melrose and Douglas) or four (Nicolas) drivers next year depending on how the off-season goes

Right now, I'll be lenient and use the most literal definition of race (i.e. race starts, not how many weekends they've driven the car) but be warned that Souto Maior's entry is only provisional (And having witnessed one of the most bathplugged up pre-qualifying sessions ever a few hours ago, it's with very good reason too).

OK, if Souto Maior can't participate I'll enter Gary Pacer. And please give me a clue as to how Souto Maior performed and if we were using Lancia engines by any chance

Autosport wrote:Options open for Jones in search for Shioya replacement

Sammy Jones has declared his options are still open as he searches for a driver to replace Hansuke Shioya after the F2RWRS Italian GP. Despite Dan Greenlaw's management declining his offer, Jones says he is still interested in giving Alexy Buyvolov the drive but as yet the Russian nor his management have commented on the offer. Another potential driver to take the seat has emerged as Hydook driver Johannes Rueckert, with Jones stating that either Buyvolov or Rueckert would be ideal for the drive, but admitting that he'd like to see what Russian Buyvolov could do in more competitive machinery than the Dofasco-Audi car which has struggled for pace. Whoever is signed to the drive will be given a mandate by Jones himself to score points in at least 3 of the 5 races before the season's end in an attempt to boost the outfit's position in the teams' championship. Shioya has had a disappointing year, having failed to score points in any of his races despite having won for the KitKat team in 2014, and his poor form has given Jones no option but to replace him or risk his team slipping into pre-qualifying with Hawkin's points total not enough to keep the team safe.

Longer term however, Jones is believed to be interested in offering Nathanael Cameron or Shane Walsh a drive for 2016 alongside Terry Hawkin who was confirmed this weekend as being re-signed for another year. Jones' original plan for Hawkin was to promote him to F1RWRS by 2016, but the discovery of Rosco Vantini who's form has been a revelation this year, and the availability of top drivers Mark Dagnall and Rhys Davies on the market, with Jones signing the latter on a two year deal, has left Hawkin no space in Jones' plans for the top tier. No offers have come in for Hawkin to drive elsewhere, and so Jones has handed the young Brit another year in F2 to try and go for the championship. In Walsh or Cameron he is looking to provide a chance for an up and coming driver, but it's also widely known that he is interested in Josh Carlisle who has had a good year at Falik Arrows, but who's future is unclear with the team declaring interest in a number of other drivers.

More to the point, why did they hire him in the first place? He was dead last in F3RWRS last season!

Jordan Davies will accept the offer and drive for Falik Arrows in the non-championship rounds.
