Okay, housekeeping time. First item on the list, Michael Bright Racing will no longer be renamed. We also confirm that we will be continuing with the numbers 3 and 4.

As for drivers, we can confirm that a deal has been signed with Ryan McReynolds to drive the #3. We also offer a deal to Ralf Schumacher to drive the #4.

With real-life drivers, Alvarez Competicion would like to formally extend offers to Simona de Silvestro, Roberto Merhi and Jack Harvey, in that order.

We then require a fictional driver to fill the second seat. We would like to invite Martin van der Meyde, Jari Kekkonen and Danilo di Meglio to join us. Again, that order.

In which case I'll point out that Kazami is unable to contest Round 9 of the IWC due to already running in AR 3.5 that weekend.

DGNgineering demands that Euromotor cease and desist any attempts at signing Kevin Magnussen for the upcoming ARIWC season, or we will be forced to take legal action. Kevin is a very valued member of our team, and will be a DGNgineering F1 race driver for the next 2 seasons, and hopefully more to come. We do not appreciate upstarts attempting to poach our valued staff members in the slightest.

For Biscione: Liveries, both A.E.T. (ARIWC) and Sentinel (ARIA).

Both are paint bucket and sponsor sticker jobs, but it's better than nothing, I guess. :)

Seeing as you're the only team still in a position to hire a RL driver, I'll run his RNG now...

1-90 Karam takes his only shot of a full-time ride in IWC
91-100 Prefers to wait and see if he can get an Indy 500 one-off with one of the well established top teams

32. Karam is AET Alliance's second driver.

You will need to choose a different driver for Singapore. After reviewing her career to date, Summers has nowhere near the required experience to participate in ARIWC. Only the most outstanding drivers from 2.0 would be considered for a straight jump into IWC, and Summers has not proven to be any more than somewhat competent in said series thus far. She needs to either be a title protagonist in 2.0 or have a year of ARIA under her belt before being allowed a license to compete.

No canon rookies allowed. Find a driver who has the required experience to compete in a top-level series (i.e. has experience in F1RWRS, F1, F1RICS, F2RWRS, AR3.5, RoLFS, etc).

This really shouldn't be too difficult - there are plenty of eligible drivers free following the collapse of the stillborn Le Mans Cup. To name just a few;

Damon Cannon, David Koczo, Yu Hao, Simon Redman, Mitchell Macklin (though maybe not, I heard he might have done some F5000 races...), Vidal Reyna-Sanchez, Antonio Reyna-Sanchez, Elinor Yurko, Poppy Whitechapel, Saeed Al Faisal, John Bovy....these are all reasonable choices.

Even from F1RICS, there are some drivers who finished well up the championship order that are without a seat - Rusty Gannit, Rafael Carlos to name two. You are spoiled for choice. So go and ask their owners for a contract...there is no excuse.


Oh, also, a note to everyone in the field, if at any point your driver is injured or otherwise engaged, and a replacement is not nominated in time for the next round, you will have the punishment driver imposed upon you - Benoit Voeckler. And trust me, you don't want that!

Ok peteroli has offered me Luke Gilson-Clarke for Singapore so I'll go with him if that's allowed (he finished 4th in the 2017 season of AR2.0NA).

Still not good enough to make the grade. AR2.0NA was a one man show, Roger Ibe is the only guy getting the required license from that series as of the 2017 IWC season.

It's still a long way to go until Singapore. Just wait. Wait and see who is doing well in Indy Academy mid way through the year and hire one of those guys. They don't have a race on the Singapore weekend.
