Not really. "Anonymous" only implies that they were not noticed which pretty much was the case. Nick Heidfeld was also anonymous in 2007 and still had a great season.
Autosport wrote:Kamaha sign Nathan McKane for 2016 After Mark Dagnalls announcement that they signed Mark Dagnall for 2016, Kamaha wasted no time getting on a plane to sign Nathan McKane. The current RoLFS leader who was blisteringly quick at the pre season tests and nearly was a second faster then Rhys Davies in 2nd at one of the tests was expected to possibily sign as the second driver for MRT, however MRT said he was free to sign for who he wanted so Kamaha made his a decent offer and gave him a lead driver status. He will make his debut at the non championship races at the end of the season. Barii Mori said "We are delighted to have signed the services of a talented driver such is Nathan, we hope we can give him a solid car for 2016 and that he will do us proud".
Nicolas Steele fighting for his seat for 2016 After another poor drive by Steele to 8th, Steeles time at Kamaha is running out. With 10 races gone and 6 to go, Steele has had 3 finishes but has only scored a single point with a 6th. Mori on the other hand has finished the same number of races and has managed two 5ths and a 3rd place podium in Germany. Mori said when asked about the 2nd seat for Kamaha, "Well it has to be said that Steele has been disappointing, yes the car has been unreliable but if I can bring the car home for a podium then Steele should be scoring points when he does finish. I have not made up my mind on who will drive next season, if I can keep scoring points and young idiot drivers don't just punt me off the road then I might race for another year. Steele needs to prove he still has the drive in him and score some points if he wishes to stay. I am also looking at F2RWRS to see what talent is available.

With yet another strong points finish in Belgium, Andrea Battani was rewarded in full as Boxtel announced that he will return for the 2016 season as the team's undisputed number-one driver. Battani's agent confirmed the news and added that a new contract, which includes a driver option for the 2017 season, had been signed prior to the Belgian Grand Prix. Boxtel also announced that they will not confirm their second driver until the end of the season, but Nathan McKane's new deal with Kamaha leaves Jari Kekkonen as the odds-on favorite for the second seat.

All in all we can look forward to a successful 2016.

I have never done any editing on any Wiki before, so I don't want to risk mucking up anybody's work. Foxdale does not have any confirmed drivers for next year yet, although Douglas Mann is the most likely to get the first seat...
And Martin McFly is NOT from Northern Ireland as that page and this page seem to suggest. This page suggests where he is actually from.

For what it's worth, Prospec haven't confirmed either driver yet. However, I'm going to leave the wiki page as it is because I think it's very unlikely that Mestolio would not be retained.

Great to hear. Chris Dagnall is happy to have Mestolio in Prospec for another year
Tread lightly in ARWS. Every decision might be your last.
Has the lucky person who gets the extra team slot been notified of the fact? It would be good for them to be announced so they can name their team give them some history and try to sign two drivers before all that are left are Journeyman drivers that are just making up the numbers, youngsters that are fast but have a limited amount of talent and youngsters that are slow but steady.

Well, someone else mucked up his profile on the Wiki, and I was trying to clarify...
My mistake. Why I didn't remember this, I have no idea. It just seemed more logical more recently that he was Californian...

Martin McFry could be living in America for all we care, however it would make more sense given that he has been racing in F1RWRS for 2 seasons under the UK flag (something you have not commented on until now) that he is from Northern Ireland and that he is born in 1988 (the date you originally gave him)... given that the F3RWRS (in which he first entered) was in the FRWRS universe (and ages should reflect this) and the others mentioned in the wiki page can be brushed under the table as alternative universes.
I for one have always thought that he was British because of what you originally said even if he has a name that is close to a ficitional time traveller... the evidence you gave is more evidence of you forgetting who your own driver is.
Plus he must be British as he won a race, the curse of Dan BH is not broken yet...

OK, OK. Northern Irish he is. How I could let myself get confused with my own driver, God only knows.

I posted on McFry's biography that he was from California as that was the hometown of Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Nobody had created a wiki page for him so I thought that he was American based on the F1RGP2C pages.

EDIT:
Autosport wrote:Gauthier-Fighting Mongooses talks fall through Details have finally surfaced of the meeting between propsective F1RWRS entrants Equipe Gauthier and The Fighting Mongooses. It would seem that an attempt to join forces is not on the cards. Guillaume Gauthier was not available for comment, though Jimmy McJimmerson was willing to speak to a interviewer.
"It was a complete shambles of a meeting," said McJimmerson, "Gauthier is a complete egomanic, I couldn't reason with the guy at all. It was all or nothing for him; he refused to accept any comprimise. I have no idea how the guy expects to even get into F1RWRS with that attitude, let alone succeed."
Rumours suggest that Gauthier is speaking with an unknown potential investor regarding additional backing for his F1RWRS bid. Given the description of the talks between McJimmerson and Gauthier, however, it seems unlikely at this juncture that either will be able to secure the necessary resources to put together a feasible attempt to claim the final entry slot for the 2016 season.

There are rumors that said the original owners of Sunshine Motorsports name have revoked DPT/PtxPTO/XYZ-LDA/whatever's license to use the Sunshine name next year due to "bad racing results" and "breach of terms of sale". More rumors to follow.

Speedline.com wrote:Autodynamics to get new sponsor, be internally restrustured?
In a world-exclusive story, we can reveal that Autodynamics Grand Prix is on the verge of securing a major new sponsorship deal. The as of yet unnamed new sponsor will replace Red Bull, who are believed to be planning to reduce their role in the team to focus on the Red Bull World Race Team. It is also widely thought that the race team will undergo a major restructuring in order to bring it closer into line with the rest of the Autodynamics Group. The team was created by the parent company in early 2014 to gain entry to the F1RWRS and to replace the old Autodynamics racing team, which competed in F1 between 1993 and 2007 as both a joint venture with Sauber and as an independent team, but folded in 2011 due to a combination of mismanagement and the Global Financial Crisis. No Autodynamics staff members were available to comment, but they are said to be looking forward to increased competitiveness in 2016.
This is part of the Autodynamics storyline that I have been thinking of but haven't got around to writing, I hope it's acceeptable. I think I have said this before but is there any possible way I can be allowed to retcon a little bit of RBWRT's storyline to make them British instead of Australian as it would be more realistic

Sunshine will retain its name at least until the end of the season as the entry list can't be changes during the season.

I am very glad The Stig managed to become a winner in F1RWRS, and on Spa, where I and Team Phoenix collected our only F1RWRS win; surely him standing atop a F1RWRS podium will become a part of the sport's lore. We seem to have managed to improve on our reliability while still being fast, and it was a shame Pippa retired since he would have needed the points, but c'est la vie, I guess. And, of course, I am happy the post-race procedures went through smoothly. May it stay this way from now on.
