Well, he does what every reasonable person does: pretend Phoenix McAllister and his bunch of misfits don't exist.

Bob Sampson is interested in the drive.
OK, I'll give him the chance for Surfers

So the 2016 would look like this as the points currently stand:

#19
#20

There is no way I'd be letting Stramala have his favourite numbers if I can't get mine, which is why I like being the odd series out and letting teams pick their own numbers.

Before I forget, did you get JLD's livery done for 2016?
And I still can't get over just how good a job you did of MRT's 2016 F2RWRS livery.
Autosport wrote:Fusion give verdict on experimental season
Fusion Motorsports have been something of a surprise package this season. This has been their first in an RWRS competition, and have managed to get a driver into the championship battle for most of the year. Next year they will become Nebula Grand Prix, so we caught up with team principal Jake Legge to assess 2015 as a whole.
"It's been good, hasn't it?" says the Somerset-born Brit wistfully. "Marko's been a revelation, and it's been such a shame that different failures and other problems have more or less put him out of championship contention. We take the blame for most of that; we've not had the money to keep the car reliable and thus we've handed over to Jacques [Couteau] because the boys over at Nebula have more resource. I'll still oversee things with this team, but my main attention is to get Fusion race-ready if and when an F2RWRS place becomes available."
"2015 as a whole's been a great year for us; we only expected to bed in our team in F3 and RoLFS, but we've definitely upset the pack a lot. We can build from this too, because Jules and Jiri should be a strong partnership for us next year."
"As I said, Marko's been absolutely flawless. He ought to have won a couple more races, but alas things don't always go your way. I'm really hoping he does well next season, we thought at the time that the Beirao seat was the best one going. Now...we're not so sure. Marko will give it all he's got, there's no question of that, but they've been so unreliable of late that he's started to regret not signing for Jones or someone. But if Alberto Cara can win for Beirao, if the car is good I'm sure Marko can too."
"I expected Leandro [Moreira] to do better. He was quick in pre-season, but he absolutely wilted in the races. We gave him all the support he needed, but he just fell flat. And then we hired Kuntz...oh, that was a mistake. For a German driver, he was ever so...wayward. And that hurt us a lot. As for Thiago, he's been very good too. He's just starting out, but I'm convinced he can become a top driver. I'd expect him to get a top seat somewhere, because his talent deserves it. He'd fit right in at somewhere like Prospec, or Jones. I'm not proud of the fact that we've used 4 drivers this year; I didn't expect to have to need to swap them around. But there we are."
"I just wish we'd managed to actually score something in our last four races. Most of the problems have been mechanical, but we've also had a few issues with some of the less attentive drivers...especially Kuntz. Mathematically, I think Marko can still win it...but it's very unlikely. Very."
"We've managed to get Diego in an F2 car as well. He's one of the best qualifiers I've ever seen; if he can't get a Dofasco out of prequalifying I don't know who can. A lot of the time, he was a quicker qualifier than Nathan McKane, and he's just bagged himself an F1RWRS seat. That's testament to his ability."

Because I'd like to expand my IFRC entry to two cars, I'm going to move Jules Vergne to there. Could I then sign Thiago Mazzacane to partner Komárek? (I'd just need to know what sponsors he has so I know what to put on the car.)

Thiago Mazzacane gladly accepts the offer. He brings sponsorship from YPF.

At the moment, it's looking like Buenos Aires, but that is subject to change (possibly with a second round in Italy instead, at Adria. Although that might just replace Monza instead).

Cracking. I'll fill some of the other space with a few other Argentine sponsors. (I've noticed that YPF and Total kinda clash...oh well.)

Considering Diego got the most poles in RoLFS this season and managed to qualify for the Nippon 200 (with a car not suited at all to the track) without a bailout might suggest he holds some bossliness...

They've had Brooks for most of year though, and he's just rubbish!
