Those two tools at McLaren almost wiped me out on lap 9. WHY didn't McAllister park it if his engine was dying in such a fashion and what was Davies doing? I have to say, I'm impressed with the avoidence job that I had undertake to get past those idiots. 4th place is very valuable indeed.
James Davies wrote:Bathplug you! You try keeping control of the car through a high-speed corner with a face full of engine smoke and oil dumped on to your tyres. Frankly, I'm surprised I held on to it for so long, but with the oil on my tyres, I just couldn't scrub off enough speed to make the corner, and I slid onto the gravel. With gravel and oil, the car was beyond even my considerable talents - I managed to get back on to the racetrack, but the rear tyres gave me absolutely no traction, and I was back on to the grass and beyond hope before I knew it.
...that said, I have to say, I'm very disappointed Rory chose to keep his car on the racing line and impeded my progress as he did - it is obviously a shame his engine died when we were in such a fantastic position as we were. But there is no excuse for doing what he did. It ruined my race as well - I could've finished 4th and bagged 3 more points and put Jordan further behind us, but instead I could only grab 7th. Which sucks. Still, at least we're still ahead of Jordan, hopefully we can put this race behind us and Jordan even further behind us.

Douglas Mann: Mann actually took the lead of the race at the start and held it for until Lap 9. Then everything went to hell. First Zimmer went by, then his teammate went by, then Mann hit a backmarker or something (I didn't really catch what happened) and broke his front wing. Once again. Douglas dropped to the back of the field and made his way up through some nice overtaking maneuvers. I don't understand why he keeps doing this.
Drivers' Championship 1. John Zimmer - 74 (6 wins) 2. Daniel Moreno - 64 (5 wins) 3. Padraig O'Connell - 39 4. Douglas Mann - 33 5. Kazuhiko Takagi - 32 (1 win) 6. Tom Douglas - 15

I said that he had to be the number 1 driver, not the driver in the number 1 car. So therefore if you put him in Rosset's car the contract is invalid . (As Verstappen would of had number 1 driver status despite having the higher car number)

I for one would probably disagree. Rosset was the one paying the bills Verstappen was making whenever he decided to throw the car into a nearby wall

Ben Fleet has noticed unconfirmed seats at Benetton, Williams and Ferrari. He would like to be considered at all three of these teams for next season, as would Douglas Mann.

Sorry, but currently Takagi has decided to contiune with Benetton for 1996.

If Takagi wants to stay at Benetton, he must win one race, unless Zimmer finishes a close second. In which case he gets sacked immediately.
For this year or next year? Takagi already get a win to his name this year (San Marino).
And Megumi will stay at Ligier due to engine contract. (But please make the car more reliable! )

And how many races has Zimmer won? Takagi has done nothing to show he he deserves to continue for next season, and I never said at any point that he was given next year's seat.

Yeah but the guy kinda deserved it in the end as his replacement took the guy who won that race to the cleaners and back for the rest of the season

Let's look at the recent qualifying, shall we? The other major DBTMOTY candidate qualified 1.2 seconds slower than his teammate, but with only one car between. Takagi, meanwhile, was 2.3 seconds slower than Zimmer and 6 spots behind, with two Ferraris and a Jordan in between. Explain that one

To be fair, you lot have nothing on Sebastian Gazurek who has combined dead-beatness with some serious muppeteering on the track. How many times has he qualified last this season?

Oh, go on then. Martin McFry, who allows the Manns and Ben Fleet to time-travel in his DeLorean, wants to be counted in.

Considering that it runs in 1995, entering Niko Nurminen (the manager of current F3RWRS driver Nurmester) would make sense. Count him in.
