Autosport wrote:Jones announces deal with Marlboro

Following the recent speculation that Sammy Jones was in negotiations with a former partner of his Jones Racing team, the Briton has tonight announced that it is tobacco brand Marlboro which will once again appear on his racing cars in the F1RWRS for 2016.

Jones had previously signed a title sponsorship agreement with Marlboro back in late 2012 which would have seen his team compete as Marlboro Jones Racing in 2013. The rule changes for that season however saw Jones quit in disgust before later returning, only without the Marlboro backing with the company having cancelled the contract in the wake of the upheaval. Now though, the wounds have been healed and Marlboro are set to finally make an appearance in the F1RWRS on Jones' cars, albeit not as Jones' title sponsor this time around, which will continue to be Castrol. Jones had this to say to reporters this evening,

"I'm delighted to announce Marlboro as a Castrol Jones Racing partner for the 2016 season. Myself and my team have previous history with the brand, and came very close to competing together prior to the 2013 season, however circumstances then did not fall in our favour. Now however, both parties have turned over a new leaf and I'm very excited about what the re-kindled partnership will have to offer."

Autosport understands the Marlboro deal will help Jones fill a gap created when Loctite announced their contract with the team wouldn't be renewed beyond the 2015 season, with the confirmed sponsors for 2016 so far as Castrol, Marlboro, 3M, Ford and Reckitt Benckiser, though it isn't yet known through what brand the last of those will be identified on the cars. This year Calgon logos have been used but this looks likely to change for next year.

Sorry for those hoping for Oreos, Marlboro aren't happy about the exposure Camel are getting on the Aeroracing cars! :twisted:

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

Then again, when Group Lotus revoked Lotus Racing's license to use the name in 2010 (IIRC), Lotus Racing did not change their constructor name.

Moe Sewers wrote:Nissan ludicrous claim

It came to my attention during my break from being a F1RWRS god that Nissan told the commonly called DPT Asset Management, which is in fact PtXPTO/XYZ-LDA or also known as PtXPTO, to drop the team's name Sunshine on poor performance and bad publicity name basis. This, in itself, is quite ridiculous as every team has it's highs and lows during their lifetime and that is to be expected and lets face it, it is like everything else except me, who only have highs. Besides this, the name Nissan is not anywhere in the Sunshine car so no direct correlation with Nissan whatsoever. The only thing that can relate back to the Nissan's name is the fact that they were the effective owners of the team during the first two years in F1RWRS. What empties Nissan claim though, is the small problem of being Barii Mori who founded the team back in the F1RLFS days and only sold a part of the team to Nissan in order to finance the car, which makes him the best placed to claim ownership to the team's name. Other issue is what constitutes an asset in this case. This is simply because, when Nissan made the sell public, it stated that had sold all the assets to PtXPTO. One could argue that the name Sunshine, given the history it has in the series, is an asset (and I believe it is a strong one) and in this case they might have also sold the name, which, as PtXPTO owns 100% of the team, implies that Barii Mori also sold his part, potentially removing him from the equation completely. There are examples of this in that other series called F1, namely Brabham and McLaren. This confirms that, if a legal battle follows, it will be an uphill struggle for Nissan.

No you stubborn idiot, because I don't have a database of virtual drivers in my head and it's entirely possible there were a bunch of people I hadn't thought of. Which turned out to be true, I had forgotten about Du Lei - although I thought Yu-Hiang Ho or whatever his name is who drove for Dofasco was also a pay driver. Or maybe he was just a crap regular driver...

It is both Mori and Shinji Zanmai, Sewers. And you proably forget how Martin Brundle was involved with that, right?

Wrong. Not everything is sold to PtXPTO/XYZ-LDA/DPTAM/whatever, including the name. DPT used the Sunshine name under license of old Sunshine guys. It is written in the contract, if I recall correctly. And for instance, the Trueba name that Alasdair Lindsay's Scuderia Alitalia temporaily used in 2014 was under license from the guys at Trueba. It lasted until the end of the season.

Also, Sewers, read again the controversy that is Lotus vs Lotus back in 2010-2011 Formula One season. The case study is there.

To be honest, he kind of is. You were puzzled at how al Faisal kept getting drives and said there were better pay drivers, he didn't believe you and asked you to back that up. That's perfectly reasonable. You just seem to take that as a personal attack when it wasn't one. I'm sorry to hear about your breakup, but that's hardly his fault.

Next season will see the hundredth race in F1RWRS history. Since the F1RWRS Commission has announced that a decision on the 100th race will most likely be made public together with the whole season calendar, fans speculate where this prestigeous event will be held. In an interesting twist, the owners of the Hungarian Pannonia-Ring have announced that they have informed Daniel Prieto of their interest to host the race.

Some voices in the F1R Council have always favoured a F1RWRS race in the home country of HWNSNBM, although it has never happened due to the Hungaroring's exclusive contract with Formula One which was recently extended until 2021. With the Pannonia-Ring's bid, this situation might just change. A spokesman of the Commission told us that there will be no press statements about possible races until the release of the provisional calendar for 2016.

I figured I might as well hype the event by having track owners compete for it.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport wrote:Official: Mignolet signs for Scuderia Alitalia

Not long after one DGNgineering driver found a new home away from the soon-to-close champions, the other has now secured a seat for next year. Second driver Ron Mignolet will make the switch to Italian team Scuderia Alitalia next season, displacing current number two Ben Fleet.

"I think when you look past the unreliability of this car, you can see Mignolet is a highly talented racer," said team CEO Alasdair Lindsay. "After his great season with Acuri last year we were close to signing him, but we couldn't compete with the allure of driving for the current world champions. When the opportunity to sign him came up again, we didn't wait around to make contact."

This means however that incumbent second driver Ben Fleet will be departing the team after only one season.

"At the same time, I can confirm this means Ben Fleet will leave at the end of the season and return to parent team Foxdale. It's no secret we hired him for his devastating one lap ability, and he's delivered well in that respect. We're happy with his performance this season, but with Mignolet we have decided to go with a differnt type of driver. A like-for-like change wouldn't have been necessary, we would have fought hard to hang on to Ben's services for next year if that was the case."

However, there was no announcement of who would take the other Alitalia seat for next year, the drive currently vacant after current number one David Koczo announced his retirement. The only driver confirmed to have been offered the seat thus far is current world champion Mark Dagnall, who opted for Melrose Racing Team instead.

F.A.R.T. Press Release

Following the announcement that Ben Fleet will no longer race for Alitalia in 2016, Foxdale Auto Racing Team would like to reveal that there are four drivers in the running for its two seats next season, those being the four that have already raced for them in 2015. While Douglas Mann has been the lead driver of Foxdale since their inception, and has competed in every round since the formation of F1RWRS in 2010, he is no longer favourite to retain his seat into 2016, with Martin McFry and Ben Fleet being frontrunners. However, Douglas would like to reach 100 entries at the same time as the 100th round of the series, so might he be able to keep a seat in the series until then?

Following the announcement that Ben Fleet will no longer race for Alitalia in 2016, Foxdale Auto Racing Team would like to reveal that there are four drivers in the running for its two seats next season, those being the four that have already raced for them in 2015. While Douglas Mann has been the lead driver of Foxdale since their inception, and has competed in every round since the formation of F1RWRS in 2010, he is no longer favourite to retain his seat into 2016, with Martin McFry and Ben Fleet being frontrunners. However, Douglas would like to reach 100 entries at the same time as the 100th round of the series, so might he be able to keep a seat in the series until then?

Continuing on with my outspoken criticism of other teams that seems to be prevalent today, whilst making 100 entries would be nice, Foxdale would be nuts to keep Douglas in the car instead of Fleet or McFry. He's been in the seat too long as it is.

I know. I'm just hoping some backmarker team wishes to pick up a driver with experience, to save me from the dilemma of keeping him in the car until the 100th race. But Douglas's future is very dubious beyond that point...
