Grand Prix Rejects

Ataxia wrote:Nuppiz, here are some "get well soon" gifts, namely, what should be the last batch of Ol' Pappa Ataxia's Cooki...sorry, Helmets.

Bernd Schröder wrote:We're pleased with the promising showing from Thomas Butler in the recent test, and feel confident that Jiri Komárek is closer to the others than his position necessarily demonstrated. I am definitely looking forward to the season proper getting under way at Hidden Valley, it will be a great result to see Schröder competing in AutoReject 3.5 for the first time.

Luc Pellerin wrote:That was fun, but more speed would help, for a debut, just finishing this thing is a accomplishment. Hopefully the RTS crew can give us some help in the pits and we'll have a great race!

You had one job to do RonDen, one job! Dammit Vanhool, this is not a bus, you can't mount the gearbox sideways!

Bernd Schröder wrote:A podium in our first weekend is a great result, but well deserved. The team has been working hard to ensure the best possible result, and we are ecstatic that Thomas Butler has managed to secure second place in the final at Hidden Valley.

Johnny Reporterwitz wrote:After the AutoReject 3.5 feature race at France saw Thomas Butler take the lead in the championship, I understand we have Schröder team principal Bernd Schröder on the line, live from the team factory in Bielefeld. Bernd, I imagine the team is happy with the weekend's results?

Bernd Schröder wrote:WOOOOOOOHOOOO! *Sounds of heavy partying, bottles smashing, and people being too loud down a phone line*

Johnny Reporterwitz wrote:Bernd Schröder, thank you. Back to you in the studio, Tim.

Jacques Couteau wrote:We haven't quite unlocked the crucial setup for the cars; when we did, we got Vicky right to the front. We can do that again, but France and Sandown have been a bit of a departure from the style of circuits in the Middle East. We might be able to get something done in Austria though, it's been one of our stronger circuits.

The rest of the Astro boys have been doing okay, we're just hoping a home race will really kickstart Marko's ambitions. He was third in the F2RWRS race last year, he loves the place and I would dearly love to see him find some dominant form, because I know he can. Nino and Jari have adapted well to the series, and Jerry's just building on his form from last year.

Sammy Jones wrote:Marko is getting there, that's another solid weekend under his belt which I'm happy with. Providing he continues to challenge in the top 5 I see no reason why he cannot be an exciting prospect for any team in the future. That's exactly what this series does, taking drivers like Marko and giving them the chance to show what they can really do. He's doing a fine job.

As for Alessandro, he's had less of a good time this weekend. He was slow out of the blocks and that's hampered his performance. Languishing towards the back in the heat races only ends up one way unfortunately and for him he's missed out on the feature race and cost us points in the teams' championship, which I take seriously. He'll have plenty of time to consider his form, where he needs to improve, and I'll give him that opportunity to show us that he does have the ability to run at the front with the very best. I'm looking forward to seeing better performances from him.

That's right, TRE is looking for faster drivers.

You can one, and only one.

Bernd Schröder wrote:This hasn't been a great race for us: I can't help feeling that the entire weekend was compromised by Tarantino and Harmsky crashing into our drivers during qualifying. I don't feel there can be any excuse for crashing into another driver during qualifying, except perhaps extreme carelessness, and Tarantino and Harmsky should be castigated further than the penalty they have already received.
