Which parameters can you set??
Autosport wrote:Sammy Jones Waiting In Wings With Reserve Team
Gutted at having missed out on the opportunity to establish a team in the F2RWRS, Sammy Jones, team owner and driver in the Castrol Jones Racing team in the F1RWRS, has declared his interest in forming his own team in the series, should an existing team pull out of the championship, or look to form a merger with the Englishman.
"It would be ideal to have a team in both series" said Jones, "We're currently looking at sponsorship from a number of quarters, but I have also spoken to Castrol and they have confirmed that they'd commit to this junior team alongside their main sponsorship of our F1RWRS team. We're looking at either entering in our own right to replace a fallen team in the future, or forming a partnership with an existing team whilst there is still plenty of time before the start of the season."
Jones however was unable to name any potential teams into which he'd enter a merger with.

The F2RWRS, the feeder category of the F1RWRS is to conduct its first race at the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the 2013 Budwieser 500, the second running of the race which is quickly gathering interest worldwide. The F2RWRS race is scheduled to be 100 laps and is to be called the FedEx 100 and will be running the interim version of the Lola-BMW package F1RWRS mainstay Daniel Melrose has tested at Imola. "This is a huge achievement for us to have such a massive weekend of motorsport planned for our fans at Indianapolis with the second running of the Budweiser 500 as well as the first ever race for the feeder series." said FIA president Daniel Prieto
Daniel Melrose wrote:Over two days of testing we managed to get almost 60 laps done. The new gearbox worked wonders in the car although initially the new suspension component proved inconclusive as on the first day our best time was a 1:30.890, three tenths faster than the shakedown test. However the next day we got a new rear wing main plane to test on the car and coupled with the new suspension components it meant we found another 4 tenths to post a fastest time of 1:30.497 as well as cure many of the balance issues I've had with the car. There is still some high-speed oversteer we have to cure and for that we're planning minor tweaks on the rear wing. Once that is sorted out we expect to have the cars ready for a full grid test for the first time at Oschersleben before another test at Le Mans as the build up to the FedEx 100 at Indianapolis.

It will begin when the next F1RWRS season does.
Wizzie will make the races happen.
I'm pretty sure the chassis and engines are standard.
But, just out of curiosity, Wizzie, which game are you going to use to recreate the races?Phoenix wrote:tommykl wrote:Phoenix wrote:I have some questions regarding this championship:

That BMW engine has great specs and is easy for maintenance - especially for crews like us, where we have a handful (15) of people.
Johannes has been out of singleseaters for quite some time but he's done a relatively good job, and he will get faster, no doubt about it.
We're also looking forward to present our livery.

He is the Italian F3 leader and he can only manage 14th? He better get his act together or else he will be driving in Superleague motorsport sooner then he expects.

Cara was brilliant out there and Lei was running well too considering her young age, only two tenths of the current Formula 3 leader Vantini. This result shows that these kids have the best mentor in the world.

Wizzie wrote:Ok. After some quick research I've discovered I can change Qualifying Performance, Race Performance, Qualifying Ability and Race Ability. However I need some more time to figure out how this actually translates to AI performance in the game.

Ooops missed this, but then again so did a lot of people.
Sani Morgan - An average to slow driver, normally scores points by being on the track when other cars have expired or crashed, but can drive a very wide car if need be.
Rosco Vantini - Like most italians, can produce a storing fast lap, but just can't string too many together. Can be a bit hot headed and can crash or run wide if frustrated.

Prince Falik Day 2 wrote:Again Sani Morgan shows the way by driving a good steady test session of laps with his best time under 1.5 seconds slower then the fastest time set, but Rosco Vantini is doing very badly, over 1.5 seconds slower then the fastest time set is not where we or he wants to be, if he keeps this up he'll be racing in Superleague quicker then you can say "Go go goooo!".
Prince Falik Day 3 wrote:My oh my, we are glad that Sani Morgan and Anton Bosevic are both okay, but what was that monkey Bosevic doing on the track? He went much too fast and deep into the corner and hit the back of Sanis car, no wonder he went rolling and rolling, yes yes, he rolled indeed. Hydook will be getting our rebuild bill. As for Rosco Vantini, 10th is much better but over 2.6 seconds off the pace, a blind monkey with a bad stomach could post a faster time, he is very disappointing, yes, yes.

Laurent Seron wrote:Well, I finally got to grips with this car, and all I can say is that it's very different from an eastern European touring car. I managed to find pace in the car, and I still don't quite know how I managed to pull off that lap in that car. It's not a bad car by any means, but it probably won't be a front runner this year. We'll be chasing down a few podiums maybe, mainly low-to-medium points positions. We think fifth in the Constructrs' title is a good target.
Mitchell Macklin wrote:When Daniel (Melrose) tested the interim car he said to myself and other drivers that the car is good in qualifying trim yet difficult in race trim and that the car will either hook up or it won't with little in between. All this was confirmed but the test was productive and hopefully we can build on this platform.

Autosport wrote:Liquor Put On Notice
F2RWRS driver George Liquor has been told that his seat at Holden Young Lions may be in danger, even before the season begins. In the recent test day at Imola, his teammate Tommy Nash set the fastest time of the day, while Liquor was 3 seconds off his pace, and more than a second behind the next slowest driver. His performances in the remaining tests and in the FedEx 100 at Indianapolis will decide if he remains at the team. If he does not perform to at least Nash's standard, he may be made to leave his seat. It is believed that Poppy Whitechapel, who is the test driver for Garry Rogers Motorsport in the F1RWRS, would be the favourite for the seat.
