(...)They also announced that they will award three future champions - F2RWRS, F3RWRS and REECCS - with a test drive and one-off appearance (as a guest driver) in one of the races.

I raise this because I looked at the wiki page, remembered that Vanina Ickx was involved, then thought "hang on, how can she be competing in a 2014 winners' championship when she hasn't won anything yet?" At least, not until the end of the season. Now I see, on the wiki, the test sessions have been held in January 2015...

With that in mind, any chance of securing a potential "guest drive" for the 2014 F1RMGP champion, seeing as the season is nearly (but not quite) over?

Numbers that I'd consider using for the potential champions (say, the top six), which haven't been used already, are:
Jan Magnussen - 27 (his first-ever number for the F1RMGP series, seeing as 2 and 9 aren't available)
Þorvaldur Einarsson - 28 (also his first F1RMGP number, seeing as 3 is unavailable and 10 is taken)
Bruno Giacomelli - 39 (from the dreaded Life F1 days)
Yuji Ide - 23 (from the Super Aguri F1 days)
Hideki Noda - 15 (current F1RMGP number)

Chris Dagnall is already going to be involved (isn't he?), HWNSNBM is anyway, and the first name on the F1RMGP entry list that presents a potential problem is Pedro Chaves, who is inextricably linked with number 31, which is taken, as is his current number, 11. I suppose his number from the 2012 season, 34, is a possible alternative...

Well, Chris Dagnall (Aerond) didn't bother to tell me what car and number he wants. I take it that eventually he is not going to race in this series.

Updated F1R Masters calendar
After further consideration, F1R Masters Committee decided to make some changes in the calendar announced some time ago.
Since the city of Birmingham decided to pull out their support for the series, Round of Great Britain will be held at Rockingham circuit.

Also, the additional round was announced - Australian Superprix at the legendary Bathurst circuit. In this round, apart from the already announced drivers, new champions will take part in the race - reigning F2RWRS, F3RWRS and REECCS champions will be racing as guest drivers.

Considering Simona is currently racing for my WEC team can I use her, also nobody really owns HWNSNBM because he is such a boss

The depths of the Autosport news section wrote:Jones shuns new Masters series

Having been invited to join the newly established F1 Rejects Masters series, Sammy Jones has publicly shunned the event and refused to participate.

"I'd rather take a sh*t in a field if I'm quite honest" Jones told the one, lone junior reporter on his first assignment, "I have much better things to do than drive a French fart box around for a few weekends in winter. Besides, I wasn't even on the original list of drivers so not only have they p*ssed me off, they've then come grovelling when others have turned it down too in an attempt to make up the numbers. It's nuts. So if you'll excuse me I'll be busy sitting in front of the TV in my underpants, picking my nose and watching re-runs of Wycliffe on ITV3 because there's f*ck else on at 2 in the afternoon."

As of yet it is unclear who will take Jones' vacated place in the series.

The Herald wrote:Lindsay slams Jones again, but this time the subject is different

The ever mercurial team principa of Scuderia Alitalia F1RWRS team has done it again. Alasdair Lindsay has come out with another bizarre rant against arch-rival team boss Sammy Jones, this time making derogatary comments about his choice of television programmes.

"Wycliffe? Is this some kind of sick joke?" he exclaimed. "ITV3 is an old wifey's channel that only people with Alzheimers watch. So I suppose Jones watching it makes perfect sense."

"Myself and all the other men that are actually in the possession of a pair of testicles will be over on ITV4 watching reruns of chavs getting chased round the local Rotheram estate by police, The Professionals and maybe all eleven seasons of Cheers in the original episode order."

"Wycliffe? Really? What a f***ing tosser."

Go right ahead. If This starts cooking up a storm, we can just give him HWNSNBM to appease him. *Braces for inevitable papaya attack*
