By the way, I'm willing to sell off Prospec, Calinetic and CR. Any takers?

Anyways I might be willing to take over one of your teams but I'll need to know their current financial situation, end of season financial position, equipment, driver stats and price of each of your teams. So get to work Mr Davies.

Tropico announce F1RWRS bid
The island republic Tropico, known for its delicious bananas, has announced to take a spot in the F1RWRS with a national team. The smallest recognized nation in the world (187 inhabitants) has been led by a mysterious figure only known as El Presidente for the last 34 years.
"Yes, indeed. The glorious Presidente was looking to buy a F1RWRS team. Talks have already been done and it is only a matter of time until we can announce the glorious birth of Tropico Grand Prix.", a speaker of the government said to the press a few days ago.
Apparentely, El Presidente is planning on leaving the management of the team to a council of German motorsport experts.
Sammy Jones wrote:Bah another double retirement, that's particularly frustrating, it's now been a while since either of us have scored points and I think we need to find some solutions from within the team fast. However on a more positive note it's great to have got ourselves out of pre-qualifying for the second half of the season, and I dare say we almost certainly won't be faced with it for the 2014 season either. Poor old McAllister is virtually guaranteed to stay there and not get anywhere near us on the race weekend anymore, and he can sit there and stuff his face with waffles for all I care, getting fat and lazy in his old age, and besides he should have realised that Castrol Jones Racing is a professional organisation that employs it's own range of gourmet chefs who serve up some of the finest food in the paddock! So there!

Phoenix McAllister wrote:Actually, Mr. Jones, you have no right to call me old since we more or less have the same age. And I haven't heard a single praise about your food; Ron's waffles, on the other hand, are earning us a handy and tasty side profit. And I may have a new, better engine on the fringes should I fail to prequalify for the next event...

Autosport wrote:Simpson: "I'll buy Prospec... if no one else does."
After the current owners of the Prospec team announced that they may be selling out at the end of 2013, current driver Dave Simpson has announced that he will buy the Prospec team, but only if there are no other potential buyers. Simpson was quoted as saying that he's already co-owned a team and struggled with racing (the 2012 season where he only scored twice and failed to qualify a number of times) and does not want to repeat that if he purchases Prospec. He also thinks that his former teammate, Daniel Melrose has struggled since buying the former JLD Motorsport team.
Autosport can confirm that there are already a number of potential buyers for Prospec, including Chris Dagnall and Automobilli Lamborghini.

It's just amazing to win again, and I'm still getting used to the feeling of victory. Aurelien's a bit more experienced in that field, having won earlier in his career than I did, and it's great that he took third, to give us second in the Constructor's title. YES!
Aurelien Moll wrote:Well, what can I say? The car held together, we had pace throughout the event aand it's a great result for me, especially after starting so far back. It's usually Tom that has to work his way back up! But it's amazing to sit third in the championship. Rhys is just incredibly consistent and I'd like to congratulate him on his job so far, while I fear Mark is uncatchable in the near future. I mean, how can he just win all those races like that?

Don't give Wizzie ideas
Actually, maybe we can cook the waffles and roast the popcorn over the flames of Foxdale's engines

Only if we can take 10% of the profits. And add hotdogs and onions to the menu. And frites et mayo!

Who knows, if my team is suffering in prequalifying I might try a turbo engine myself and not require your services

I might then be coming to you, asking how to be more reliable...

OK, if you tell me how to make the cars much faster. I really need to stick one on Sammy Jones on the track as well as on the microphones.

Pretend to have full trust in them and be their heterosexual equivalent of the gay best friend. Don't hope for any "actual fun" though, if you know what I mean.

Autosport wrote:Virgin to become MRT title sponsor
Richard Branson's Virgin colgomate of companies has decided to jump ship from the ailing Virgin InterCourse team to join MRT as their new title sponsor next season as Qantas have decided not to renew their contract for next season. Virgin were allegedly in a fierce battle with Dutch oil company Shell for the spot. Richard Branson himself was unavaliable for comment but Daniel Melrose told autosport "This is a enormous deal for the team as we build towards the future. We are obviously disappointed that Qantas decided not to stay on board but with Virgin stepping up to the plate with a 5 year deal we hope with their help we can climb back up to the top of the order."

Phoenix (the team) is there as 6th fastest...

Quite simply, we weren´t fast enough, but we have some relief as our main rivals for the title didn´t do that well. It´s not I´m writing off Foxdale, they have the fastest car, but they have to stop hosting those barbecue parties at their cars if they want to beat us.

That´s because you farted in your seat, then no pay driver want to seat there!
I hope there wasn't any follow-up to the fart(s)...Daniel Melrose wrote:If there was an award for the worst hour of my life this would probably be it. Nicolas out at qualifying and I only made it in by a tenth with a last gasp effort. We need to find pace otherwise we may find ourselves up s*** creek without a paddle.
