Rebaque supports the proposal.

Brabham is against the proposal.

Post by **Londoner** » 01 Jul 2013, 22:15

Wolf is against the proposal.

Ligier barely understands the proposal and therefore is against it (...)

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 02 Jul 2013, 12:17

Williams would like to add a medium "Decrease overall body drag" upgrade and requests testing at Silverstone before the next GP with both official drivers and Tommy Byrne. Plus, we support the proposal of Ligier going to the gas station to get some chips.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 02 Jul 2013, 12:19

McLaren support the proposal,though it's probably due to the fact that Teddy Mayer is shouting at his crew to get at least one upgrade right,yet they cannot seem to do anything.

tristan1117, you failed to nominate a replacement driver by the deadline. This means that only 1 Rebaque will attempt to qualify for the Irish Grand Prix.

I'll do the tests shortly, upgrades have already been added. The deadline for any change whatsoever has passed, so I won't be considering any sort of change.

I'll announce what'll happen to the free, 40th car slot shortly as well. Stay tuned!

A one-off third car for Merzario driven by Michele Alboreto?

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 06 Jul 2013, 19:06

We'll support the proposal, but I don't think Ferrari will use it. That way, we hope there will be less people in the way on the track. Hopefully this won't result in half the grid skipping half the calendar. I suggest a cap of two races teams can skip in a season for upgrades.

Has Ferrari ever had a successful upgrade? Jeez

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 01 Sep 2013, 14:52

Guess what's back? Yep, rFAF1! Transport yourselves back to 1980 because tonight we'll be racin' around Mondello Park!

Live chat as ever only on the F1Rejects mibbit chat room, please try and make this as it is quite enjoyable and you'll find out much more about the race than the race reports will ever tell you!

Anyway, to get the championship back on track, I wont be doing the tests. Upgrades have been added though.

The lights will go out at 7:00 PM GMT. Be there!

SuperAguri · Post by **SuperAguri** » 01 Sep 2013, 15:13

Can I enter the infamous American Brett Lunger, he has completed his degree and wants a race in F1 again after not finding a team in 1979.

Team name : CBS Racing (as Lunger was working for CBS at the time)
Nationality of Team : American
Engine : Renault-Gordini EF1

Yes, one of the Rebaques will not be entered due to not having a named replacement.

Seen as this will be a one-off entry, you can use the ex-Jenkins Williams FW06s

I still need a name for your team and an engine supplier.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 02 Sep 2013, 20:47

Oh well, I guess I dropped the ball on the Rebaque driver replacement. I will let SuperAguri and Brett Lunger have a one-car entry for the rest of the year, as I can't be bothered to check this series much anyway.

Indeed there is. I'll post details about that when I post the results from the Irish GP tonight

I know it's a bit early to post this since full results haven't been released yet but...

Autosport wrote:Nicchi defends Irish GP

Valentino Nicchi has defended the controversial Irish Grand Prix from critics which some have described as farcical.

"I don't see what fans are complaining about, it was an exciting race! There was loads of passing for the lead each lap, you never knew who would win. It's just what they came to see. Maybe they're just angry that their home driver Ed (Kevin) retired. The only thing to get upset about was Callum (McAllister)'s silly move on Jean-Pierre (Jabouille)!"

1980 Irish Grand Prix // Mondello Park // Weather: Overcast and dry

Quali:

Race:

Notes:

Callum McAllister rammed into Jean-Pierre Jabouille both on the track and in the pits. He has been handed an official warning from FISA.

The Osellas didnt set a time due to a glitch in the track rendering them stuck in their pitboxes.

Jean-Luc Knighte wrote: Unfortunately, the track isnt up to FISA standards, and as such, we will not be returning to Ireland next year.

For any questions about your drivers, please ask and I'll try my best to answer.

EastLondoner - you said Giacomelli was sacked but you failed to name a replacement. Do you want to withdraw the car?

Team owners! As for driver changes - nothing is official until confirmed in this thread. Please ALWAYS confirm driver changes here.

Pi3141, I expect Salamander and Stramala to confirm the move of Voeckler from Shadow to Renault. As soon as he does this, there will be a free slot.

Upgrades and testing as normal - tokens and upgrades are on the first page.

Aerospeed · Post by **Aerospeed** » 05 Sep 2013, 22:29

A medium upgrade in engine reliability will do fine. Seems as if Ferrari can't finish any races...

Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler wrote:Oui! Oui! Oui! MAGNIFIQUE! It was an amazing race for our team. We are a small group, we don't have the resources of the big guns but we've still taken a win here. I am honoured to be moving to the works Renault team so early on in my career, hopefully we'll have some good results together this season and get ready for a title challenge next year!

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 06 Sep 2013, 00:07

As most development is needed on the Hart engine, i'll ask for a medium engine torque upgrade.

Good job for Nigel to qualify!

Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler will be replacing Carlos Reutemann effective immediately. Renault will also work on a medium engine reliability upgrade.

Since we have so many test tokens left, we might as well stage a private test at Vallelunga. We'll compare Siegfried Stohr and Teo Fabi with each other.

Ken Tyrrell has, in fact, before everything started, moaned about the standards of Mondello Park. :evil:

Tyrrell would like to request Hiroshi Takagi's medical report.

Williams would like a medium random reliability decrease please. And we'd also like to test at Silverstone with McAllister, Scheckter, Byrne and, if at all possible, Gauthier as well.

The Alfa Romeo works team will join the test with Emerson Fittipaldi and Roberto Horford. We will try out a new rear wing with significantly decreased drag (read: medium Decrease rear wing drag update)

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 06 Sep 2013, 18:37

Merzario will attempt to decrease chassis mass.

After this, we will go testing at Mugello with Mario Andretti, Alain Prost, Simone Guidetti, Michele Alboreto and Vittorio Brambilla. If only four testers are allowed, drop Brambilla off the list.

Bathplug, I completely forgot about this series. :oops:

Yeah, Wolf will drop down to one car for the remainder of the season, as it is clear that the team can only make one car somewhat competitive. Giacomelli is sacked.

Not if I have anything to say about it, seeing as he's my driver! I'd understand if he'd been crap all year but he is right up there in the hunt for the title! What would be the motivation for dropping him?
