Grand Prix Rejects

Shizuka wrote:No. But I hoped for improvement from the team.
So if anyone interested in signing me up (one-car teams expanding to two cars), I'd join as #2!

Douglas Mann wishes Mr Shizuka all the best for the future and hopes that West Cliff Racing goes bankrupt imminantly. He would also offer a seat at AMR if only his sister were not in charge... But could propose a B-team if it were allowed (Manx-Anglo-Nippon Team, also known as MAN Team).


Douglas Mann also sympathises with his sister for missing out on a points finish in such a crazy race where anything could have happened.

What have I done?
I'm fine with MAN team. The new Toro Rosso! (Well, I hope not, it gets boring when someone keeps taking out other drivers...)

Aurelien Moll wrote:Yeah, I'm very disappointed with another DNQ, especially at mine and the team's home race. But what can you do? We're having a lot of problems with the car, so we'll just have to hope for better results in the coming races.

But it is an exclusive offer only to ex-West Cliff Racing drivers who got disgruntled with the team!

I'd like to join then. Anything is better than a DNQ almost every race...

And Sammy Jones outshone you both, but is leaving the scoring up to Dagnall this year. He's only finished one race!

Hey, you have at least scored points... more than a certain ex-West Cliff driver...

Kay Lon wrote:This is the greatest affront I have ever seen in motorsport. This is the biggest outrage in anything. While I must admit that the second accident was my fault - although my race engineer didn't bother to tell me anyone was coming - I should have never been warned in the first place. Perhaps the stewards were to busy "pleasing" themselves, if you know what I mean. Sorry to the team for the second collision...

Phoenix McAllister wrote:Them bunch of idiots...They had nothing better to do than to crash against me. What is this, hazings or what? I haven't ruined your pitiful races, YOU were the ones screwing me all around with your weed-induced madness. Oh, well, at least I've finished ahead of Frank frigging Zimmer. Take that! By the way, we are more than keen here at Phoenix Racing to hire Hagane Shizuka who's understandably fed up with the silly West Cliff outfit. Go home, Colin Kolles!

Sammy Jones wrote:In answer to a couple of questions, yes this is my second DNF from two races at Spa, but remember I'm performing both driver and team principal roles, and as a result, new updates to the car and the Renault engine are going firstly to Chris, not only because he currently sits third in the standings, but because he is vastly more experienced than myself, and his superb second at the Ring more than justifies that approach. For myself, improvement will come in time. I've already proven myself in the F1RWRS last year when I creamed all over Douglas Mann in that bucket of bolts that was the West Cliff's car. As far as I'm concerned, my (soon to be!) F1 statistics count for much more than this. I'm here to have fun, and when I feel the time is right, I'll switch out of the car and go into full time team ownership. Whether that's at the end of this year, the next or further into the future I can't say. First of all I want to enjoy this season and perform as best I can for the RubberTex-Jones Racing Team.

So any spot for '19 year old' Jeroen Krautmeir from Mainz?

Autosport wrote:Krautmeir to drive for JLD for rest of 2011

19 year old German Jeroen Krautmeir earlier today was confirmed as JLD's 2nd drive from Silverstone onwards as BMW are set to increase their involvement in the team. A few months ago Melrose Racing Team confirmed that they would buy the JLD team from Mercedes Benz and Porsche and will run under the MRT banner from 2012 onwards. The team is in association with Australian Daniel Melrose's former employers BMW who will be providing all the internals for the 2012 car along with technical support for designing and manufacturing the MRT-001 at BMW's facilities at Munich. The signing of Krautmeir who allegedly was suggested by Daniel Melrose himself has made the deal between MRT and BMW all the more convenient as Krautmeir has come off the back of finishing runner-up in the Formula Renault 2.0 series. Krautmeir is also a former championship winner in the Formula BMW series in Germany. Neither Melrose, Krautmeir or BMW's Mario Thiesson were avaliable for comment.
