Autosport wrote:Mysterious sponsor to give Super Aguri extra cash
The wily Aguri Suzuki has come up trumps getting on board a major Japanese sponsor in the form of NTT, the sponsor is likely to give Super Aguri the cash boost they need to develop the car to a championship contender next year. Yuji Ide has hinted to the press that he has a 3 year deal with Super Aguri and will not be going anywhere soon.
Axes to be banned in paddock
After a complaint, Viking Racing have been banned from bringing any sharp objects to the paddock, a spokesman said "You could have someones eye out with that.", Viking Racing have yet to comment.
Daihatsu to enter F1?
If there were not enough Japanese F1 engines, the small Daihatsu company have released a press release that they are working on upgrading the K3-VE 1.3 L 16v Straight 4 into a F1 engine. A number of team bosses fell over laughing except Stefan who may look at the engine as Toyota have a controlling interest in Daihatsu.

Lola to be bought?
With Lola mainly DNQing, there are rumours that the mysterious new team are looking to buy the entry that Lola have as it would be the easiest way for them to get into F1. However a senior person at Fondmetal Team Malaysia have said the team is as good as bankrupt and would be looking for a cash injection, a partner or a simple sale to save the team. 2014 does look very interesting.
Super Aguri claim sabotage
After a poor result, Aguri Suzuki has told this lucky reporter that he believes that the team were sabotaged the last few races. At the Italian Grand Prix a meat pie was found on the engine, the engine failure was not but the meat pie started to smoke and burnt some electrical parts. He also claims he has footage of some person in yellow and green stuffing something into Marco Apicellas tail pipe, it was enough to make the engine lose a lot of power and Apicella failed to qualify. Yuji Ide also claimed he was tapped from behind as he would never spin on his own. Mr Aguri has given the footage to the F1RMGPS council.
Daihatsu show off new F1 Engine
Although team bosses are still falling around laughing, Daihatsu have shown off their new engine, the K3-VF1 2.6L 16v Straight 4 turbocharged engine. Although it looks very pretty, Daihatsu bosses admit that the engine is just a shiny piece of metal (it being a 2X version of the Copen engine) and that there are no working parts and they have not even got anything on a test bed roaring in anger. They claim that they will have an engine if a F1 team shows interest.

Jan Magnussen, Jean-Denis Délétraz and Jamie McGregor have all utterly denied sending the note, saying they'd never, ever write "love and kisses" to a rival team boss under any circumstances, including in a "driver X is faster than you, can you confirm you understood that message" situation (think of the agreement Williams and McLaren had in the final race of F1 1997 and you'll get the idea). Maybe the perpetrator will come forward in due course.

Yuji Ide performed badly at the Spanish GP, he even drove the entire race with no 6th gear, which limited his top speed. However a meat pie was found lodged under the 6th gear selector. As Super Aguri only serve the finest Japanese food, the rumours that the mechanics left it around whilst having lunch has been thrown out. Aguri Suzuki said, "Someone is trying hard to make sure we can not finish higher then 4th in the constructors and hampering Ide in his quest to finish strongly.". As for the sour grapes, Suzuki pressed them and made some juice and carbonated it, it is rumoured it was sent back to Juliean Richer who opened it and got soaked.
Daihatsu show off the power of their new engine
Daihatsu showed their new K3-VF1 engine to a few selected journalists and it is looking good, although Daihatsu did not release any figures they said it would easily do 900bhp, which should make it interesting to team bosses. Although team bosses were quick to joke about the figure, "900bhp, if it does more then 90bhp, I would be impressed....", another said, "900bhp for all of 8 seconds before it expires.".
Suzuki interested in making F1 engine
If there was not enough Japanese F1 engines, Suzuki have said they would be interested in entering F1, they showed off their V6 Twin Turbo Charged Escudo High Climb engine from 1998, which could offer 1000bhp. As this engine does exist nd has been tested, Suzuki said it would take a little modifications and it would be in a F1 car in less then a week. Team Bosses did not laugh. Although one team it would be ideal for is the Super Aguri team which could be called Super Aguri Suzuki.
Some Publication wrote:Suzuki engine deemed too 'dirty' for F1MGPS by some guy
written by Sensationalist B. Journalist Jr.
Recently, the F1 Rejects Microprose Grand Prix Series community has been stunned by the revelation that Suzuki could be entering an engine that is basically the same thing that powered their monster Escudo Pikes Peak car. We were unable to get comments from F1RMGPS team officials and organisers, most of whom were in various states of shock, with the exception of Sir Bernard Shekelsilke, who could not be fond for comment, and HWNSNBM, but we were unable to acquire adequate translation. However, we, and by which I mean I, found some guy who is in no way connected to the series, but does possess glasses and a labcoat so he looks somewhat knowledgeable about everything. We asked him about the potential of the proposed Suzuki engine, of which he stated,
"Well, on paper it looks very promising. However, you have to take into account that this engine is a V6, which is far less cylinders than everything. Also, I'd expect some problems with, um, dirt and stuff, since it did hillclimbs and the like, which have dirt so maybe it would suffer from a lack of it....?"
He went on to say something about being on his way to a boffin lookalike convention, and in no way being an expert on the mechanics of internal combustion engines, but that was completely unimportant in every possible way. So there you have it - the Suzuki engine: on paper very powerful, but is it too dirty? We'll just have to wait and see.
Rumour: Sakon Yamamoto - the next Yuji Ide?
written by Not Joe Saward
Recently, a figure whose name has been banded about by various armchair experts and seen in the F1RMGPS paddock is Sakon Yamamoto. Yamamoto is famed thorughout the F1 paddock for driving for Super Aguri and beating Bruno Senna that one time, as well as having a neck that may or may not be slightly dodgy. So there you have it, Sakon Yamamoto: He drove for Super Aguri in F1, can he follow in the footsteps of the semi-legendary Yuji Ide and make a name for himself as a race winner in F1RMGPS? We'll just have to wait and see.
Meat pie ban to be effected at next race?
written by Ida Prefferedadifferentname
With the recent amount of meat pie-based attacks lodged against Super Aguri in recent races, it has been proposed that a ban on meat pies will be effected at the next race in Japan, the home race for the plucky Japanese squad. The proposed ban would see all food vendors, teams and spectators searched and stripped of all meat pies they may have. So, will this proposed ban go into effect, and if so, will it prevent another sabotage against the Super Aguri team? We'll just have to wait and see.
Also, no word on whether or not this ban will encompass other similar savoury meat-and-pastry-based products such as sausage rolls.

Marco Apicella seemed to have a off track moment near the start of the race and our experts examining TV footage and unbroadcast footage conclude that it was because he ran over a meat pie, the moment seemed to loose him a ton of time and places and he was lucky to get 3rd. Super Aguri principal Aguri Suzuki said "I am not sure why we are being attacked with meat pies but the F1RMGPS management need to stomp on these meat pies before someone is seriously hurt on them. I think they should ban all forms of pastries including waffles, apple pie and pork pies.
Stop Press : Meat pie turns out to be Apple Pie
An examination of the track reveals residue of apple, sugar and pastry on the spot where Marco Apicella had his moment. A spokesman for Team America said "Wait a cotton picking minute, we would not waste a good apple pie that way, it should eaten with cool whip (TM)." eating said pie with cool whip (TM)."
