That's the deal with the VW engine. Usually, Suomanen's good for pole, but in the race it falls behind.
On some tracks (like Monaco and Adelaide) it wasn't too bad, but on the faster tracks it's more noticeable.
It's looking like it'll be single-spec engines next season though, so don't worry too much...
Pykalisto and Kwol-Cho have the same engine. The former dropped like a stone while the latter only lost one place. NO FAIR

Good job Miguel, if you keep doing this you may get promoted to the F3RWRS after all.

Finally, we are back on form. Congratulations to both our drivers scoring a double podium in this race. I hope the momentum keeps up high.

Standings updated on the wiki.
It shouldn't escape your notice that we've got the last round of the season coming up. Therefore, a big thank you goes to everyone who got involved; I'm very sorry about all of the arsing around that came at the start of the season, but I was trialling a load of things and getting a feel for running it.
We'll be having single-spec engines next season (rebadgable, of course) so there should be none of the faffing about. Also, after Zandvoort I'll take suggestions where the 2016 Winter Cup could be held. I seem to remember the USA being moderately popular last season, so that could be one option.

So the championship is all but lost now. Well, at least we got one win, but apart from a few occasions the second car seems to be cursed...

DMR has won more races than any other team so far, and yet will probably end up finishing 7th in the championship. Says a lot about our qualifying performance, doesn't it?

How about a tour of South America? Let's see these teenagers deal with racing in 45 degrees celcius air temperature!
Suggested Calendar:
R1: Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez (aka Buenos Aires)
R2: Autódromo Víctor Borrat Fabini (aka El Pinar)
R3: Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba
R4: Autódromo José Carlos Pace (aka Interlagos)

You got me thinking about it already...there's no way I can give it to Good Call because (up until now) they were at the head of the championship.
It's difficult to do for the first season, as everything's brand new and thus there's no form to compare to. There's only one or two names that stand out at the minute, but I'll make a call on it after Zandvoort.

It was a total mistake, but there were more rejectful things that happened so I would give it third if it was my choice. Engine parity would be my ROTR

Kamaha step up pressure to sign Hwok Kwol-Cho
Kamaha tried once again to sign Hwok Kwol-Cho who is currently leading the F1RDS championship despite not winning a race. Kamaha see Hwok Kwol-Cho as an upcoming star and would fit in next to Victoria Desai in the second F3RWRS car. However Hwok Kwol-Cho management have not returned any of Barii Mori's calls.
Who owns Hwok Kwol-Cho as I would like to sign him for the Kamaha F3RWRS team...

With the VW enignes it will be difficult to stay up there, but being 1 second faster than anyone else is quite an achievement, even with the best qualifying engine.

Come on Tonu, ten places ahead of Kwol Cho, this is your big chance to get back in the title race. Win or bust.
Ekdal did alright too but I expect he'll go backwards in the race as per usual...
Edit: Hang on a minute...is that really NESTRA AYA in THIRD PLACE?! WHAT????

Sorry for the double post, but I'm starting to test out a few circuits for next year and wanted to properly share my plans for next season
Of course, the RWRS calendar has not been finalised so I cannot yet choose what support races I will run yet. I'm not expecting this for a while, but I'm tempted to expand the calendar so that we have 20 individual races (in short, we'll have 5 more races.)
I will be including Circuit Ricardo Tormo and the Red Bull Ring onto the calendar. I've tested these, they look fine so that's all sorted. Whether or not they're support races I don't yet know (that's more in relation to RB Ring, I doubt RWRS will use Valencia). I would also like to do a longer race at the end of the season; probably a one-stop half race distance event. Although preferably in Europe, I'm sure I could use the one-race outside Europe guideline I used for this season's calendar. I am thinking that we could have it in any one of Fuji, Sepang, Interlagos or Montreal.
I won't be retaining Monaco, though. I don't care how prestigious it is, it produced dull racing last time and I don't feel any obligation to keep it.
I will also try to a) add commentary to imgur coverages and b) will attempt a video coverage if I can sort out a microphone.
As I've said before, it's gonna be a single-spec series for 2016. You may rebadge your engine (I would expect Alitalia to stick the old Lancia name to it, for example) and thus I will be willing to produce new liveries if any team managers are dissatisfied with theirs.
Although numbers are just a formality for the wiki, they will be handed out relative to the positions in the teams' championship. Whichever team finishes first will be handed #1 & #2, and so on.
Pre-season tests will be done away with; we jump straight into the Winter Cup over the off season. We've had suggestions for a South America Cup, an Australia Cup and for ones in Italy and Great Britain. Personally, I'd prefer to include circuits that won't be used in the main season (so the Italy cup is probably unlikely), and I'll put forward a California Cup (Laguna Seca, Sonoma, Long Beach). I'll take more suggestions, then I'll put it up for a vote after Zandvoort.
Another note about the Winter Cup; do not feel obliged to use the same drivers you have signed for 2016. As long as they haven't taken part in an RWRS race (excl. SuperPrixs) and they are under 21 then you may put them in a car. For example, if Aeroracing wanted to give Francesco Fagioli some experience prior to his F3 campaign, then they can use him. (as long as he doesn't race in F3RWRS beforehand).
I hope this is suitable; I notice this post is a little erratic but I'm just trying to get everything I can think of down.
