It was infinitely better than all of the other RDS races so far.

Looks like we got some problems right now.

Oh, and Aya, YOU'RE FIRED! :twisted:

Which reminds me...

Driver changes for next round:

K. Nakaya OUT - N. Barlini IN (subject to eurobrun's final approval)
N. Aya OUT - K. Nakaya IN
A. Velikonja OUT - B. Voeckler IN
A.Tantovich OUT - A. Castañeda IN

You have suggestions?

EDIT: If eurobrun does sack Nakaya, we will put him to replace Nestra. But if he is rubbish too, we will look for a "mystery driver" (read: a new driver from stratch).

Alitalia are bringing back Voeckler in place of Velikonja for the next round.

He failed epically both in the Winter Cup and his only RoLFS start, yet you still have some faith in him? :lol:

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 06 Nov 2012, 17:25

I believe this sprint race can be described as a bad day for V-Sport. Still, Reith has finished ahead of the Scuderia Alitalia cars, who in turn has beat Kwol-cho, ending up as the last Opel runner.

I don't have faith. It's just that Andraž Velikonja has also been completely hopeless and I want to see if Voeckler is any worse or not. This year is turning out to be an utter disaster for Scuderia Alitalia...

Yep, Nakaya will be sacked, You can have him FMecha even though he is totally useless :lol:

FGC would like to try out 17 year old Peruvian protegee Angel Jose Castañeda in the place of Tantovich at the next round

Finally a Donkervoort driver has some pace, then he retires. °facepalm°

The drivers got 2 races to score some points, otherwise they are both fired.

Post by **Ataxia** » 06 Nov 2012, 22:57

To sum up, an interesting race. A cruel spin for Da Cunha forced him out of a race that he might have won, as his team-mate Lappalainen had to pit just as he'd begun to challenge for points. A great race by De Boer to finally shake off some of the bad luck he's endured saw him take his first win and help move DMR further up the teams' standings.

All of the updated standings for both championships are HERE.

Yeah, can you just make the nose black and change the shade of red slightly? We will keep the same sponsors. Next year, we'll unveil a different livery.

Announcement: I intend to run Angel full-time next year, but with Tantovich almost certainly moving to RoLFS next year, there will be a seat open at Plus One next year.

How come Alitalia is so incredibly crap compared to the other Opel teams?

Niko Nurminen wrote:Well, at least Tõnu scored points, but overall the race was disappointing.

Unofficial rumors suggest that Anu Võsu has only one more race to prove her worth. Despite a couple of podiums, her results have been way too inconsistent. Tommi Hämäläinen is hinted as the possible replacement should her form not improve.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 04 Dec 2012, 22:55

Well its painfully obvious that no matter how well Kingfisher's drivers qualify, they haven't got a hope in hell for the race.

kostas22 wrote:How come Alitalia is so incredibly crap compared to the other Opel teams?

To be completely honest, I don't really know. If it wasn't so much work, I'd randomly alternate the team slots just incase there's some subconscious performance differential between each one. The stats are the same as other Opel teams, and Ekdal's built up an OK race perf...but think it's just luck, really.

Which is why it's going to be a single-spec series in 2016.

Just out of interest, what happened to Butler early in the race when he got stuck in the gravel trap for over a lap?
