Ligier barely understands the proposal and therefore is against it (...)
Re: rFAF1:Upgrades, Vote on rule change!
Posted: 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.

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?
Re: rFAF1:Upgrades, Vote on rule change!
Posted: 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

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.

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.

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)!"

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.
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.

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.

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?
