Calm down dear, it's hard when there's so many better teams above Alitalia to pay attention to, you tend to forget the dealings of the lower teams!

Dreaming Sunshine? Please, we'll be miles ahead of them by next year. Unlike you.

Indeed Jones and Sunshine will be on the track, whilst Alitalia will be beating the rush back to the airport after another DNPQ.

Care to explain why both cars are lining up for the start in Macau in a few hours time, yet Shinobu Katayama is going home?

McFry was running in 2nd place. Then he decided lapping Danny van Rijkens around the outside of Turn 2 was a great idea. Cue crashing into the wall at 180mph and destroying his chassis.
Idiot.

And Douglas Mann decided to be absolutely useless while being lapped, pissing everyone off. Still fluked his way into two undeserved points though.

And someone loved Mann so much that they placed him 18th in the championship with 3 points ahead of Shinobu Katayama and James Davies who have er 6 points.
I missed the race as I was asleep as was stupidly late in Taiwan, sounds like I missed a corker although disappointed by the lack of text commentary and places though.

Daniel Melrose, making a special address to Tropico after the race wrote:Proud nation of Tropico. I come to you with most glorious news. Earlier today, our South African comrade Danny van Rijkens have done our people proud by scoring the first ever point of Tropico Grand Prix in the F1RWRS. This momentous occasion will go down in Tropico's rich history as one of our greatest achievements. And to celebrate this most wonderful result, tomorrow, Monday the 28th of September, has been declared a national holiday for Tropico. In addition, van Rijkens has been made a honourary citizen of our proud nation as rewards for his efforts on behalf of the Tropican people.
Sammy Jones wrote:I'm absolutely delighted for Rhys in what was a dominant performance, taking a comfortable win to really put himself and the team in an excellent position in both championships. He was superb all weekend, and has given Castrol Jones Racing its first ever hat-trick of pole, fastest lap and victory, and the team's first pole position since the 2012 Australian GP, and its first fastest lap since the 2012 British GP. Not only does this throw into stark reality the dominance in recent times of the DGN and MRT teams in terms of outright pace, but also the achievements of Rhys over the course of this weekend. Heading into the final two races of the season we now have the perfect platform to push for both championships. The position is somewhat similar to the closing stages of the 2012 season where we came so close, but ultimately fell short. I'm hoping this time the team can go one better, and either Rhys or Rosco can overhaul Dagnall and bring the drivers' title to Jones. We have one of the most reliable cars on the grid, and two of the finest drivers the sport has ever seen. Daniel Melrose and his boys will be having many sleepless nights over the coming weeks as they worry about the threat we pose. We will not stop until the last lap of the last race of the season is complete, we want these championships more than anything else.

Could have been such a good race for my drivers... Did Ben Fleet finish in the end? I imagine he was last, but in what place was last? 7th? 8th? Possibly even 6th?

8 out of 8th. With Koczo 7th. Alitalia so near yet so far from the points. Two more DNFs ahead and it would have been a double points finish for the team with the second least powerful engine in F1RWRS!

Dammit.

Warren Hughes wrote:Battle is well and truly joined in the fight for 12th place in the constructors' championship, with Prospec on 2 points only just holding off HRT and Tropico, while Alitalia look capable of scoring points as well. Why is this important? Well, with the withdrawal of DGN, 12th place in the constructors' will be the final place which avoids pre-qualifying come the start of 2016. Any points at this late stage could be vital, especially with Prospec and HRT still needing to go through pre-qualifying in Fuji.

Those 'muppets' at PtXPTO agree with Mr Davies. Proof? Sunshine latest results.

11th; as next year there'll be 10 teams in Pre-Qualifying, with 8 drivers going through.

Shinobu Katayama wrote:Bah, I have done less races and am placed higher then both Sunshine drivers. Claiming the Sunshine car is improved when you finished in front of even weaker cars like the Tropico and Alitalias and Douglas Mann does not really prove much, you still probably put bugger all in into improving the car. I am just getting used to the Revolution, you just wait until a dry race happens.

James Davies wrote:Oh come off it. Daniel was fighting for a podium in Zandvoort as well, a race with much less attrition. The car has definately improved - sure, it's nowhere near the level that the team were at last year, but it's a hell of a lot better than it was when you last drove it. Nearly 6 months ago. But at no point did we ever hold up a Dofasco. A Dofasco of all things.
Wizzie wrote:In light of recent events, MRT would like to answer the RoLFS commission's request and start a petition to have Tanner Jason banned from all major RWRS-sanctioned championships for the next two seasons at least, effective immediately.
Aerond wrote:Well, I fully support Wizzie's petition, however, to me sounds more natural a 2-year ban. I'd also propose a 1 year ban for Tristan Jung, who apparently ignored yellow flags too (there should have been flags when Fukuda was rejoining the track), causing the first collission.
