Dr-baker already has 101. How did you manage that when there are about 95 other numbers still left?

So how about Speed uses #111 and Bandini #112?

Prospec confirm Torbani signing for China and Surfers

Pemberton Prospec Racing have today confirmed the expansion of their F3RWRS effort to a three car entry from the Chinese round onwards. The English team, currently leading both championships, will field a third car #39 for Italian Massimiliano (Max) Torbani, who was released from his contract with MA-Junior Racing earlier this week after being replaced by Ashley Lilly. Prospec were also reported to be interested in Joao Antonio Soares, but the Portuguese remains under contract with Porto Wine Motorsport.

Hawkin's first race for Jones Italia in the F2RWRS was Belgium, so either he does double duty that weekend or he doesn't race in the F3RWRS. By the time China rolls around, he should have less than 10 races, so can still race there. However, if I'm right, then his 10th race will be the Spanish race. The Surfers SuperPrix is on the same weekend as Canada, the next race, so Hawkin won't be eligible any more. I'll wait till AndreaModa gets back before I do Belgium, and you need to find out whether he wants Hawkin to race at Surfers.

Reporter: How serious were your injuries after the crash?

Reporter: How on earth did you recover from that?

Jeroen Krautmeir needs to specify the age of his driver, because I think he has that record. 2015 I and Kay Lon both will be 24 ... oh my...

Who is the youngest driver ever then? Because I have a 19 year-old Valsattis with me.

Hydook takes over Ecurie Albertini
It was rumoured to happen, but the official confirmation was announced today. From 2015 on, a new team - unofficially known as Hydook Junior Team - will fill Ecurie Albertini slot.
Croatian racing team takes over Albertinis' assets after Albertini Construzioni Navali was struck by old debts. After taking over Albertini Siderurgia GP in Street Racing League, Anton Bosevic decided to buy into another team of Monegasque family.
Ecurie Albertini will cease its operations after Surfers Superprix, where they will run an extra car for Turkish driver, Colin Peynirci.

Hydook Junior Team considers signing one of the F3RWRS Academy proteges for their 2015 campaign.

AndreaModa wrote:Crikey this is confusing!

So let me try and get this straight:

With Hawkin and Swerts in the F2RWRS, how many replacement drivers do I need for Belgium? Is it possible for Hawkin to double up and do both series that weekend? As far as I can tell, Swerts moved up for the Hungary race, so should still be with Jones for Belgium, meaning I'd have an unchanged line-up. Correct?

As Kostas pointed out, with Hawkin looking good in the drivers' championship I'd like to keep him in the F3RWRS at all costs, so if that means missing the F2RWRS race at the time of the Surfers race then so be it. Originally my plan was, having subbed for Seron at Gillet, Hawkin would remain with Jones Racing in the F3RWRS for the rest of the year. It's my own fault I didn't get it sorted before I disappeared, but it's no big deal, as long as Hawkin drives in the remaining F3RWRS races this year, I have no problem.

And Swerts' race in Hungary for the F2RWRS was a one-off, so I don't need a replacement for him at any time do I?

So to simplify all that rambling, I'd like to keep both Swerts and Hawkin at the team for the remainder of the year, so when would Hawkin need to hop out of the F2RWRS in order that he doesn't become ineligible for the F3RWRS? And does the F3RWRS China round clash with the F2RWRS?

the Masked Lapwing wrote:Well, kostas, you're wrong, because it's 1, and it's only an entry. Therefore, precisely none of those are available.

AndreaModa wrote:Excellent, he'll do both series in Belgium then, and miss the Spain and Canada F2RWRS races so he remains eligible for the F3RWRS.

I assume the Indy 100 is after the Surfers race then?

AndreaModa wrote:I'll have a think about it, it is another three races away now so I've got a bit of time. Might try and offer a seat to a good F3RWRS driver if one is available.

I really hope I get a better CPU next year.

Swerts could do Spain but I doubt you're going to be able to find an F3RWRS driver free for the F2RWRS Canadian GP. You might be forced into bringing Du Lei back into the team...

Tropico News Today wrote:Joel Melrose joining Tropico's effort?

Whilst the Tropico F3RWRS Council considered getting Renaldo Jimenez from JLD Motorsport back, the team understandably resisted our effort because Jimenez, being Tropican, is their most successful driver by far.

In a very intelligent act of brilliance, El Presidente proposed a contract to Joel Melrose, the younger brother of perhaps one of the most famous tourists of our island, four-time F1 World Champion Daniel Melrose. A response is expected within a few days.

Michael Cameron wrote:I can't believe that Swerts hasn't been sanctioned for his ridiculous and dangerous move in Race 1. The fact is, we could have had a serious accident, and the F3RWRS commission seem happy to turn a blind eye. He should have been penalised immediately after the first race, preferably disqualified, but because he got to keep his 4th place, it now means he gets to start on pole for Race 3. It's a disgrace, he should have been banned from the rest of this weekend, but if not, he should be suspended for China for sure. After all, there is a precedent for that now.

Alasdair Lindsay wrote:Ok, so overall this weekend is still not quite what I had hoped for, but at least Gigi [Pazzini] got into the points in Race 1, and all of our cars made it past elimination.

But, I must say, congratulations to Lorenzo [Crescenzi] for his first podium in F3RWRS. This is why he is in the Scuderia Alitalia giovanile squadra, we know he has potential. Let's just say, if he can showcase his talents this well consistently, he will be rewarded by us for next year...
