Autopolis would be cool.

Same here. I've always had a soft spot for Autopolis and I think it's a very,very underrated track IMO.

After this news, Jules Vergne gets a slightly updated livery.

MotorsportNews.com wrote:Fukui kicked out of Rojo
Just a few days from the beginning of the IFRC 2016 season, Team Rojo's owner Adrián Rojo Fernández announced that Japanese driver Toru Fukui was out of the team because of some "problematic" incidents, the rumours are Fukui had recently developed some drug addictions, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Some sponsors like Seiko have abandoned the team as consequence. Julia Schilling -18-, Rojo's reserve driver, will occupy the team's second seat. Also, Rojo announced a partnership with Telemov, a Mexican telecommunications company which competes with Carlos Slim's emporium and is owned by Rojo Fernández.

So, both drivers updated liveries:

Galaz

Schilling

OK, I'll test these when I'm back home tomorrow.

Took a bit longer than that, but here's the previews now:

Also, you accidentally had 31 as the number of both cars; I changed Galaz's number to 30 as it was easy to figure out what font you had used.

As the F1RWRS season has slowly but surely started rolling, it's time to confirm your entries for the IFRC pre-season tests. The tests will take place on March 26th and 27th at Sandown, Australia, and clash with the following events:

F1RWRS New South Wales Grand Prix
RTCC Round of Australia
GTRWC Round of Australia
F1RDS Grand Prix of Spain

Drivers taking part in these race weekends are not allowed to take part in the tests. The tests will be run as soon as possible, but only after the first FxRWRS weekend (which takes place on March 17th-20th).

There will be four test sessions in total: a morning and afternoon session on both days. You can enter any driver you want who is available for the sessions, but I'd prefer if you only use drivers that you have already signed by this point. Because you've had about five months to complete your lineups, and if I still have to create new performance files, I might not be so lenient with the stats.

You can use a maximum of three drivers per day (two for one-car teams, obviously).

Use this template when entering your team for the tests:

Code: Select all

[u][b]Team name[/b][/u]
[b]26th March 2016, morning session[/b]
Car 1: driver name
Car 2: driver name
[b]26th March 2016, afternoon session[/b]
Car 1: driver name
Car 2: driver name
[b]27th March 2016, morning session[/b]
Car 1: driver name
Car 2: driver name
[b]27th March 2016, afternoon session[/b]
Car 1: driver name
Car 2: driver name

Obviously, one car teams ignore the Car 2 part. It is also possible for two-car teams to run only one car at any of the sessions, should they for some reason feel like doing so.

Along with this, I'm announcing that Gilles Massinion, whilst testing for the IFRC team, will be taking Hawkin's vacated seat in the Jones Racing F2RWRS team, therefore meaning Connor O'Heagan will do the full season in IFRC alongside Hawkin.

This means the Mastercard logos will no longer appear on the car, so here is a slightly revised livery Nuppiz:

-- EDIT: New liveries in later post below. --

I also note that I never filled the reserve driver slot, despite offering it out a few months back. At the time, two candidates came forward:

Ataxia's Deividas Lukauskis,
and Salamander's Aimée Gauthier

If either are still available, I'd like to offer them both reserve slots at the team, with a view to potential race outings later in the season if performances dictate. The chance of a race drive will be greatly enhanced if any sponsorship is included in the deal!

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 28 Jul 2013, 13:32

Aimée Gauthier is still interested in the reserve driver seat, and does bring some minor backing from her family's burgeoning garage business. However, she is also committed to finishing her F1RDS season, where she finished 2nd in the Winter Cup despite having no prior experience in single seaters, and being one of the youngest drivers in the series at 15 years old.

She can have the Ecurie Prenois reserve driver seat. She is driving in RDS for them, and did very good in the Winter Cup. This is my testing schedule if Gauthier accepts:
Day 1, morning: Gauthier
Day 1, afternoon: Gauthier
Day 2, morning: Thybes
Day 2, aftenoon: Thybes

otherwise, Thybes will do all test sessions.

Ah, I forgot Ecurie Prenois had an IFRC team. In that case, Gauthier will take the reserve driver seat there.

Lukauskis is still interested in the reserve seat at Jones. Although he'll test for Nebula at Sandown, Jones are able to use him if they wish.

In addition, he's currently unattached to a single-seater team as he's dabbling in sportscars to get the momentum going.

Yep, Aimée Gauthier is unable to take part in the tests due to having F1RDS commitments on the other side of the world on the same weekend. All of the other test schedules so far seem good, though.
