It was completely my fault and I'm sorry for the team as yet again they put in a great effort over the course of the weekend. We'll regroup before Macau and I'm certain we can regain our early-season form as we're only three points away from third in the drivers' championship

The final step in the merger between ARC, Tristan Jung and ZombieKart appears to be complete as all three American-backed teams will be joining forces to create a super-team under one management. After American Racing Conglomerate's money concerns (and disastrous on-track results), ARC's parent company decided to drop funding for the team. It has been reported that ARC owes substantial amounts of money after operating the team without a budget for almost five months, but their financial woes have been erased by Tristan Jung and his associates (which include the mysterious owner of ZombieKart). With Fredo Mestolio leaving at the end of the year, ARC is likely to hire a driver from the ZombieKart junior team. Dan Greenlaw and Roberto Zayas have been mentioned as possible replacements.
RejectSport wrote:Jesus Plaza Attacks ARC in Post-Race Interview
Jesus Plaza, the long suffering Mexican driver at American Racing Conglomerate, has finally had enough of the team. After another horrendous retirement at the North Sea GP, Plaza railed at ARC in the post-race press conference:
translated from Spanish
"This is, by far, the worst team in the entire grid. At least Tropico, Trueba Alitalia and bathplugging Shonan have semi-stable management. I hate this team. I bathplugging hate everyone who owns it, I bathplugging hate everyone involved in it and I don't want to race here ever again. The car is a pile of bathplugging s*** that was given an engine and told to score points. I never want to be part of this bathplugging team ever again and I am in no way thankful for ARC giving me a chance in F1RWRS. Collin Pratchett was smart enough to leave quickly. Oh, and I never liked that bastard Tristan Jung. I think he is a criminal and should be banned for life."
(unaware that the recorder is still going)
"OK, is that enough to get me fired?"
"Yeah, that's good enough Jesus."
"Great."
ARC's management has not yet responded to these insults.

Neither of whom are eligible for a superlicence. Try again

Brilliant. Andrea will be replacing Mestolio in 2015. Is he a pay driver or a regular driver? Dan Greenlaw would like to join the MRT driver program as long as he remains at ZombieKart for the 2015 F3RWRS season (yes, I am confirming Greenlaw at ZombieKart for 2015).

Problem is I'm pretty sure the F1RTA had a ruling about bringing back drivers whose owners/managers have gone inactive. I for the life of me can't remember what that ruling was though.

Considering I brought back Koczo I don't see a problem? The F1RTA was ok with that...I think the difference is QuickYoda is still on F1Rejects actively and did not express a wish to stop him from re-entering the sport, whereas with Jeroen we don't have that option. That could be an issue.

Nope, try again next time.

My guess is either Dan BH or T. Hemo Goblin

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner.

Why Hemo Goblin though? Why not someone like, say, Jari Kekkonen?

I have no idea
But now that I think, bringing Kekkonen back might work if I can con Jeremy into having him as his driver.
Wizzie wrote:Aerond, having looked back on the chassis and engine list for this year and seeing what teams did what, I've got a few questions to ask:
1. Why is the Jordan chassis so bathplugging expensive when it's not even the best one on the market?
2. In theory, ArrowTech have a slightly superior engine to the likes of Jones Racing but with a slightly inferior chassis. The reliability numbers of ArrowTech are also comparable to Jones, Kahama and Sunshine. Why the hell then are ArrowTech so far behind them in the standings?
3. Exactly how does the Speed Inc thing on the chassis market work and how much does it affect engine output? (I heard numbers like 40bhp either way being thrown around but a more clear-cut explanation might help out the likes of Shizuka who couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery if their life depended on it

1. Because not all the chassises are equally cheap or expensive. And it´s the best one on the market
Wizzie wrote:
Out of all those, the Minardi is the most reliable and the most consistent and most reliable while the Brabham has the biggest power booster and the biggest power limit. If anything, the Jordan should cost the same as the Brabham at most.

Chris Dagnall will change his mind if Mestolio gets a seat for 2015

If that wouldn't make me look like an American numbnut, I'd say there's something fishy about that. Just kidding of course. It was a great job by the team - and obviously myself - to take that podium. Sadly I had no chance attacking Mori, his car was just better today. At least the team and I did enough to have a safe zone in front of Sammy. Now we are looking at the final three races in Asia, should become interesting. Meanwhile I'd strongly advise you to look at Prospec. Jean-Luc Schiller is gonna get beaten badly from now on, I can promise you that much.
