Yep that's correct. As liveries will go, whoever does the livery for the F1, F2 and F3 teams: Can you link for me the programme(s) I need to design my own? As all three will now be changed for next season.

Cool stuff, all you need is Paint.NET to do the liveries, though getting GP4Builder for the F2 and F3 liveries will help as you'll be able to see them on the car and make adjustments if necessary. I don't know if there's a modeller for GP2 to make doing the F1 liveries easier, but if there is I want to know about it!

The template for the F1RWRS is simple enough for you to be able to do it using just MS Paint...

And where IS the template? I was sure I asked this a while ago with no reply...

Here's the template with CJR's livery this year:

I've just realised something. There are no Argentines in RWRS, right? Think I'll have to do something about that soon...in fact, it's rumoured that SudAm F3 champion Diego Mauricio Batistuta is being lined up by the Scuderia Alitalia Giovanile Squadra for a seat in the distant future, after team boss Alasdair Lindsay decided he had waited too long to pay tribute to the nation that producted the ultimate professional athelete in the history of the universe, Javier Zanetti.

Doesn´t have anything to do with F1RWRS but I need some help with one of my many music things: I need all of you who have a facebook account to enter this facebook event and confirm you´re going even though if you don´t; I need at least 100 confirmations for tomorrow morning so any help is very much welcome!! http://www.facebook.com/events/328486133885424/

And to all of you who wanted to hear my album, here you can hear 5 songs from it:

Aerond, are there any liveries from this that end up unused, other than Sunshine and Prospec? If so, would you like to send me the liveries?

Sala Marco Aldany? That's very close to where I'm living. Do you plan to play on there? If so, I can drop by

Are there any openings left for new constructors? If not, can I reserve a spot if/when one opens up?

The F1RWRS entry process is like the deli counter, take a ticket and wait for your number to be called. It will be a long, long wait

If you want your own team in the RWRS universe (becasue you don't have any already, correct?), might I suggest Rejects of LFS, considering there will now be prequalifying for the series there's probably capacity for a couple more teams if Nuppiz (the series organisers) is willing to allow it.

All those are unused by now except ARC I think

Man, must be a slow news week in the F1RWRS... anyone feel like making up some publicocrap on a possible Chris Dagnall return in 2015 just to inject some life back into the thread?

I'd do it myself but I can't be arsed

In order to fully enjoy the following article (i.e. for some of it to make sense), please pretend that the F2RWRS did not skip ahead

Autosport wrote:Several drivers in frame for second 2015 HRT seat
The F1RWRS silly season is in full swing, and the Holden Racing Team is one of many teams who are yet to confirm a second driver. HRT have confirmed a lot of changes for 2015, including merging with Garry Rogers Motorsport. Valvoline will come on board as title sponsor and Frank Zimmer will return for the team he last drove for in 2012. However, the second seat is still up for grabs.
The likely candidates include Poppy Whitechapel, Tommy Nash and Jason Hamilton, with Whitechapel racing well so far this year for GRM, often outpacing Zimmer but losing out because of reliability issues. Nash and Hamilton are HRT's F2RWRS drivers, and both have shown to be capable drivers, with Nash doing solidly in his two starts for GRM earlier in the year and winning the F2RWRS British GP, while Hamilton has been very quick in the F2RWRS himself.
It is understood, however, that HRT may opt for a more experienced hand. Rumours suggest that they are looking at hiring Nathanael Spencer, in what would be a straight swap with Melrose Racing Team, with HRT's current driver Rhys Davies already announced as an MRT driver in 2015. It is also believed that the team could hire James Davies, who has recently expressed desires to drive for a team that is not in pre-qualifying, and whose experience could be a valuable asset to the team.
HRT team principal Mark Skaife said today, "We are assessing our options for 2015, and the final drive may come down to a final test between likely candidates. We want to be 100% sure on our driver decision."

Why anyone would want to go to HRT after this year though is beyond me

To be honest I am sort of glad I am not there anymore. This article makes TMLW's attempt to get me to sit out for a year seem even more stupid.

Yes, I did "borrow" Martin McFry's Delorean.

I know, but I mean: are there any liveries from that link that ended up unused in 2013 season? I'm aware that, that year Sunshine and Prospec did not use your liveries, while ARC and Foxdale used it (and I think non-starters such as VIC and SOTL).

QUALIFYING




RACE

Right now, every team in the midfield must be asking for rain every race from now on. Not that everyone left Macau with their pockets full of points, but the sensation is chances are way higher if water is present. If not, ask Shinobu Katayama who, after a very irregular season, managed a perfect weekend to claim a very much welcome win, a win which will help her achieve the 3rd place in the drivers championship. It was a great demo of how to adapt to the circumstances (changing weather during qualifying and a good ammount of rain before and during the first half of the race). Her battle for the win with Nicolas Steele was a hot one and it lastes almost until the end when the Kamaha gave up. meaning Steele is now a little bit behind and needs two very strong results to claim the bronze medal. Meanwhile, the championship battle is still very much undecided; Phillippe Nicolas never drove like he was about to win, although he managed to lead for a while, and then a problem meant he fell way behind Katayama and Steele for the last part of the race; Mark Dagnall had more of a tough weekend after a terrible qualifying but, on race day he seemed like a totally different driver. It´s obvious the DGN driver improves on race day, but this time his performance was like night and day; after spinning and pitting early in the race he managed to storm back to 3rd, a very impressive feat having in count he had to cut over one minute his gap to Ben Fleet! The DGN has also proved it´s more reliable in this last stint of the season and it could prove crucial in the two races left. Our kudos as well to Pippa Mann, who managed a decent race to the points making this a very well celebrated GP in the female part of the paddock.
On the negative side we saw both Gillets binning it very early in the race, Kay Lon being too slow in race day to round the result for Sunshine or Jesus Plaza having to retire when on points hunting once again, but Sammy Jones had to listen on the radio how he´ll have to face an expensive repair bill for Melrose´s car before spinning at the last corner on its own and then blaming Mestolio when the italian had nowhere to go to avoid the CJR-103 is enough to claim ROTR.

Now, the next race in Shanghai at least promises to leave us all at the border of a heart attack to see who claims the championship. Anything can happen. Stay tuned.

Whoop, whoop. Been looking forward to another F1RWRS round.

With my luck, David Koczo will go fastest in PreQ and Older Jr will go slower than the Tropicos...

Probably Monday evening, as next week I have two gigs on weekend and have lots of rehearsal time.

I told you it would happen. Koczo drove his socks off and Older Jr wastes all his good work. Everything Tropico touches turns to SHITE!!!!

What were Prospec thinking.

Well, it was raining and it was the first time in a car even remotely on the level of F1RWRS, so let's wait until Shanghai to judge her.

Maybe we failed because of the rain.

Until then, spend 20 points on Mackintosh's skill, if possible.

Yeah, there's currently no limit on entrants in RoLFS. The only limit is that a maximum of 20 cars can be on the track at once (and start a race), but when it comes to qualifying, I can run as many sessions as needed. The limitations on how many teams can one engine/tyre manufacturer supply can be changed as well if needed (they're not a LFS thing anyway, just something I made up to give a slight twist in the series). So if you want, put your entry in there, it doesn't even count against other RWRS entries!

I said "on the level of F1RWRS" and if you take that as an implication that I meant "on the highest level", it's your fault, not mine.

Race to happen Monday around 7pm (European time), Qualifying around 5pm
