Last year I did the livery for Sunshine, but I am sure DanielPT has not done a livery. Although I am happy to do it if he wish me too.

I would start doing it without asking because he doesn´t spend many time here and it can take weeks for him to read this.

MRT livery version 2:https://rapidshare.com/files/333716310/Blank9.bmp

I may have broken something in the process but it should work.

Sunshine 2015 livery. Even found a company called DPT capital management

Sponsors : NTT Docomo (Mobile Phones), Shiseido (Cosmetics), Yellow Hat (Car maintence), Daihatsu (Cars), DPT Capital Management (Asset Management...)

Lvery is a cross between the Japanese colours and the Portugese colours. (Even thought the team is still based in Australia...)

Jones livery for '15, in case you missed it, Aerond.

And can Mecha test at Sentul? I checked grandprix2.de and it exists.

If Aerond allows you to do the tests using your own copy of GP4, your choices are Sandown and Phillip Island. If not, they're Sandown and Sandown :lol:

I remember Pasta made Aeroracing's original livery some time ago, he just did it on rFactor for some reason. Here's the original post - if someone can translate as best as possible what he done to a GP2 car, I'd be very pleased indeed: http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4549&p=162596&hilit=Aeroracing+livery#p162619

If it's anything like last season, he'll probably do all 20 cars at the same time just to make life easier for everyone.

Autosport wrote:McKane to test F1RWRS car

Two time Formula One World Champion Nathan McKane is set to drive for Melrose Racing Team in both of the 2015 Pre-Season tests as the Scotsman continues on his quest to attain a Reject License, which would allow him to participate in the F1RWRS as a full-time race driver. With recent changes to the regulations announced by F1RWRS Commissioner Daniel Prieto, MRT boss Daniel Melrose decided to take full advantage of the changes to run McKane in the two tests before he embarks on a full time RoLFS drive in 2015.

"Nathan is a top-line driver and he's already shown the world time, time and time again that he's a match for the very best this business has to offer" said Daniel Melrose upon making the announcement. "The one thing he may have some trouble getting used to is the far more relaxed atmosphere in the paddock here compared to Formula One but I'm certain he'll feel right at home." Nathan McKane was unavailable for comment and while Melrose didn't officially say who he'd be subbing for, many believe McKane will be replacing fellow F1 champion Rhys Davies for the first test before subbing in for last year's runner up Phillippe Nicolas in the second test.

And for those of you that are wondering, as soon as McKane gets a superlicense, as far as I'm concerned he can sign for whoever the hell he wants. :lol:

Since I presume there will be more than one pre-season test, so Tropico Grand Prix powered by CR Motorsport would like to use Renaldo Jimenez in the first two, taking Scott's car in the first test and Older Jr's in the second test.

I gotta check the quality of the Sentul track first. But if it´s ok, no problem.

Tests are done through me because they´re done through the original carset + teams may want to test drivers I need to generate stats for + more than one team may join a test session.

Is Renaldo Jimenez a pay driver?

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 26 Aug 2012, 13:28

Kingfisher Racing will use Ashley Watkinson and David Neuberg for all pre-season tests as we need to compare them to the teams around us. Drivers from the F2 and F3 programme will get a chance during an in-season test should they perform well enough in their respective formula's as a 'reward and evaluation test'.

Indeed he is. I presume since this is a test you won't need a helmet?

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 26 Aug 2012, 13:31

Similarly, ArrowTech will use Bosevic and Al Faisal in all the tests so that they can get accustomed to the new AT-05.

Aerond wrote:By the way; We can now arrange private tests for one or more teams (up to 14) at any time of the year, with any driver. This will become handy if you need to test your latest updates (you can run your car with and without the newest updates to check the difference), test different drivers (up to 8 different drivers per team per test) or just test your laptimes at any circuit, or even test your car in different conditions (yes!, this can be arranged too!)

* Tests in the same country the team is based on cost 10 credits.
* Tests in the same continent the team is based on cost 20 credits.
* Tests anywhere else cost 40 credits.

-- No street circuits allowed --

-- Any driver which takes part in at least 3 tests automatically gets a Reject License.

-- Pay drivers can pay 1 credit per test (up to 3 different Pay drivers per team allowed at any test)

Foxdale is Manx. As far as I am aware, the only race tracks there are street tracks. So... As the Isle of Man is a British Crown Dependancy ("and therefore not a sovereign nation in its own right") and a part of the Common Travel Area, could race tracks in the UK be considered as "being in the same country" and therefore be considered for tests at 10 credits?

Plus Martin McFry to be in all pre-season tests for Foxdale, plus Douglas and Pippa Mann to be shared between Foxdale and Aeroracing as that team sees fit.

Yes.

Now, so you know, that every test will guarantee your driver the whopping reward of 2 experience points (random grip points). Currently is 10 points per race start. From now on, also drivers who don´t qualify for a race will receive 5 experience points (will count backwards for those drivers who didn´t qualify in the past)

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 26 Aug 2012, 13:48

There is always the Jurby Circuit, dr-baker. That's a permanent one for all I know.

As far as the same continent goes, aerond, is America one continent or divided in North and South? And do you want me to make a canon position for Tropico on the world map?

I thought Tropico base would be in Spain since CR was a Spanish team?

Aeroracing will line Pippa Mann for both tests sessions, lining up Douglas Mann in place of The Stig for the last test session.

Boxtel will run Battani and Spencer for both test sessions. Also, Boxtel have revealed their livery for 2012:

Experts have already judged the Boxtel livery to be the worst in the field.

I need the next liveries to be revised:

Kingfisher (No jpg, please, as it uses a different colour system; Files in .BMP or .PNG at worst, indexed colour, 8 bits per channel)
Tropico (for some reason unknown to me, it won´t load even though I´ve coded it again, the very same happens to my DGN livery, so if someone can help finding a solution thanks in advance)

I will have to see how the RoLFS campaign goes and see how the F1RWRS goes this season to make my judgement over which team Nathan will drive for, depending on who gives him an offer of course. I will keep note of the interest eurobrun. Bring on the tests!

Gillet will run De Bock and Moll in the pre-season tests. Seron will be saved for the mid-season private tests.

Kamaha will run Barii Mori and Nicolas Steele in the pre seasons tests.

Although I would have loved to have run those 4 tracks I wanted to, I am sure the rebuilding of Brooklands will not happen. However I would like to pencil in a test for...

Thruxton - 4 Weeks before first race (about 1st Feb, if snow or ice is on the track then the test will be delayed until it is clear up until the 7th Feb)
Brands Hatch - Inbetween Canadian and British GPs (around the 1st to the 7th June)

We shall be running Barii Mori, Nicolas Steele and we are hoping to run Jesus Plaza too. We will be happy to run one more seat for any driver that is interested. We also extend the track use to any other team that wishes to test.
