We already have two contracted drivers for 2015, so not happening.

Tropico News Today wrote:Older Jr. Returns!
Today, our glorious leader El Presidente informed us that he has given the staff of Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport what they want and accepted the remorseful veteran Darren Older Jr. back into the Tropican family for the upcoming 2015 season.
This move is especially generous, given the fact that the betrayal of the Dagnallian driver has cost our team the Hitachi sponsorship which will not return with him. "I am forever grateful for the ever-lasting generosity of El Presidente," Older Jr. said according to the girlfriend of a brother of a friend's uncle who knows a charlady at Older Jr.'s favourite pizza service.

I'll give you 15 credits if you take him on loan for the whole 2015 season.

In fact, if Mestolio chooses Prospec over Mitie, we will offer Mitie Jean-Luc Schiller's services for 2015, for free.

He is a pay driver, but one of the better ones, somehow...I don't understand how it works, but it seems Ben Fleet is the ultimate pay driver, and Mestolio has seemed like a pay driver with surprising potential but occasional inconsistency.
Luckily for me, the 15 credits offered are paid off by the 5 ARC lost to me in a bet, and 10 that Simpson Motorsports owe me

Yeah. I hope your team crashes and burns next season
Haven't got a problem with Prospec getting involved with it. But as for Schiller, can I ask the same questions I asked about Mestolio please?

I wouldn't go anywhere near Mestolio, he's too inconsistent and has a tendency to be deletrazianly crap a couple of times a season.

I´m afraid there´s no deal for Alitalia here, since you don´t have any rights for Mestolio over 2015. Prospec expressed their interest in Mestolio for 2015 and Chris Dagnall, as Mestolio´s manager, has accepted the deal, end of story. Now, if you want Mestolio back for the last 3 races of 2014, then you must deal with ARC, which is the team Mestolio is contracted until the end of the season.

Oh, so you used us? You f***ing bastards! We are going to do everything in our power to f***ing destory DGNgineering in future seasons. Once you lose your turbo, you will be a massive worthless turd at the back of the grid! CAZZO!

I haven´t used anyone. You just made up a story in your head which was far from reality.

Yeah, the ultimate pay driver who can only rarely get the car to the finish line!

Ron Mignolet would like to debate that, wherever he is

Well I'm certainly not going to make a rash decision right now, Melrose has scored more points than Jones this year (just!) and I want to see how his performance continues for the remainder of the year. He's done well in the car, and that's not something I can guarantee from Mestolio, and I'm going to need two strong, reliable drivers next year, and I know I can get that from Melrose. I don't know about Mestolio. Plus, I already have an agreement with Wizzie for Melrose next year, so unless Wizzie wants out (something I suspect is highly unlikely) then I don't intend to change my position.

Truth be told, Mignolet's teammates weren't exacly the fastest of the field...

Any pay-driver who gets a podium is fast in my opinion!

Yeah, on one of the few occasions that Ben Fleet actually made it to the finish line... And doesn't he have the record for most poles in a season? (At least that's what the wiki says, if I remember correctly...)

Gave up. SuperAguri (does he own Vantini?) wasn't responding so I've decided to pursue other options. Plus it'll be useful to have a pay-driver. Actually, before Mestolio became available I was looking very likely to re-sign Schiller.
Schiller is now available for anyone who wants him. Don't forget he has shown flashes of promise including an excellent 6th place at Monza.
)Mitie announce name and chassis change for 2015:
Mr.Alexander spoke today about the changes for next season, with title sponsor Kingfisher buying Mitie Aviation's remaining stake in the team. "Mitie Aviation have gradually decrease their funding for the team, citing poor performances as their main reason for pulling out. We are not worried as my own finances have kept the team from folding. After signing a deal with Kingfisher, they again approached us about taking over the team completely. I wasn't happy at relinquishing my own stake so we have reached a 50/50 agreement."
But how close was the team from folding? "It was looking increasingly likely we would have sold the team completely, we kept it quiet from the press as it's something we wanted to sort out ourselves but now we have the financial needs to continue into next year."
And the team name for 2015? "Kingfisher Racing, with the chassis known as KR-002 rather than 001. The F2 team will be known as Kingfisher Holden and will have the KH-001 chassis and the F3 team will be called Kingfisher Junior and run the KJ-002 chassis. Eurotunnel also leave as sponsors but we keep Adidas and Drubnik."
