Which is asking Aerond if we can test at a circuit or country that has just held a race but before the next race. So more teams have flexibility in testing and hopefully allow more teams to test together.

Go read and comment and hopefully supoprt the motion!

Autosport Paid Advertisment wrote:Kamaha Motorsports - Family Fun Day.

Kamaha will be having another test at Brands Hatch a week after the British GP will be open to the public so they can see F1RWRS cars in action, get a chance to meet your favourite Kamaha racing drivers and pitcrew, try a lap in our F1RWRS race simulator, ask our drivers, management and even Tatsuya Kahama questions in our Q&A session, listen to the Kamaha pitband as they sing their latest single "I want your love but the wheelnut is crossthreaded" as well as songs like "Transmission failure", "Speeding like a Yamaha OX10" and their chart topping (no. 67 in the Australian sales chart, no 86 in the Norwegian sales chart, no. 109 in the UK sales chart and even no. 392 in the US sales chart), "Baby, I will fill you up in 7.2 seconds".

You can also win a chance to spend 3 laps in our three seater F1RWRS race car with none other then Simon Redman (*) at the wheel. Win a chance to perform a tyre change with the skilled Kamaha pit crew and win 25,000 pounds if you catch Kay Lon trying to sneak in and you successfully taser him.

Nicolas Steele, Jesus Plaza, Barii Mori, Bob Sampson and Victoria Desai will be testing and Tatsuya Kahama and Simon Redman will be there too.

We are also offering three reserve, F2RWRS or F3RWRS drivers (**) a chance to test a current front running and soon to be race winning F1 car!

* - If Simon Redman is unavaiable then you will be driven around by podium winner Jesus Plaza!
** - Not open to drivers contracted to Jones Racing, Best in the World Motorsport or MRT.

That test can´t happen since testing is not allowed at Championship venues before a race, so either move it to another venue or make it happen after the British GP.

Autosport wrote:Jones: "Mori can suck my balls"

Sammy Jones has reacted angrily after Kamaha team owner Barii Mori requested that Jones Racing didn't test with them at an upcoming "family fun day". The Englishman has branded the young Japanese "a loser", going on to tell our reporter that "Mori needs to get a life and accept that his team are just a footnote on F1RWRS press releases these days". He the revealed that he had been considering making an appearance at the event to try and smooth over previous tensions between them, "I wanted to try and right a few wrongs from the past few years" the multiple race winner said, "I'm getting on a bit now and I feel that those days are behind me, but Mori clearly doesn't share my feelings, so he can go to hell and suck my balls for his snub. It only makes him look more childish at the end of the day." Jones' team are currently second in the constructors' championship after two rounds of the 2015 season, with Jones himself second in the drivers' championship. Kamaha have yet to score a point.

To be fair, Nash would have finished solidly in the points in South Africa had the engine not spontaneously combusted and Carter Simpson's luck is making Bad Luck Schumacher looks like a WSOP winner

Autosport wrote:Mori : "Jones full of horse manure"

An angry Barii Mori has hit back at Sammy Jones, after Mori had requested that drivers signed to Jones, Best in the World Motorsport and MRT did not attend the Kamaha Family Fun day, Jones stated that "I wanted to try and right a few wrongs from the past few year [...] but Mori clearly doesn't share my feelings, so he can go to hell and suck my balls for his snub." but an angry Mori said to us exclusively "Jones is full of utter horse manure, as Jones would rather shove his balls into an open fire rather then test with us. His wanting to smooth over the cracks in our relationship is utter rubbish and Jones thought it would get a few column inches for himself and his team and try to make me look silly, he knows that a mechanic had to drag me away after he made a comment about how a Scaletrix car would finish more races then we would after the Australian GP. We have been unlucky, but we show clear pace and we will finish and win a race or two this year.". He also has this to say about Daniel Melrose, "Melrose knows that a good test is better then any Playstation simulation of a track, he also knows that the Kamaha is faster in a single lap then his cars, he also seems to forget that Kamaha have qualified strongly in the first two races where as he has a DNQ and a DNPQ to his name and is desperately trying to distance himself from the Simpson car and Melrose knows he would be slower then me, Nicolas Steele and Jesus Plaza and probably our F3 drivers if he did test the Kamaha car...".

Daniel Melrose wrote:In what universe is a Kamaha faster than the MRT? And he's one to talk about pre-qualifying because at the rate those guys are going, you're destined to end up there where me and my new found buddy Mr Lon will surely give you a very, very warm welcome.

I moved it two days forwards so your F2RWRS drivers would actually be able to make it to Turkey that weekend so it's now on the Tuesday of that week rather than the Thursday

It's a three hour flight. Not exactly difficult is it.

Until you include all the time it takes to get to and from the airport and all the time spent at the airports which makes the entire trip from Imola to Bolonga airport to Istanbul Ataturk to the track itself about 7 hours at the best of times.

Rhys Davies wrote:Come on Melrose, let us go testing properly! It's boring sitting in a simulator knowing full well it isn't going to fix any reliability problems. Actually, now that I think about it, can we stick around at Brands Hatch after the British GP? Mori said MRT drivers weren't allowed to test his cars. He never said MRT weren't allowed to test our cars

Nathan McKane wrote:I echo Rhys idea, the best way to keep fresh and on the top of our games is to, I don't know, actually drive the car. I'm not racing with the Winton team that weekend so I would be able to join the team for some testing. Although Mori did say that my services were of interest to the team during testing...

Barii Mori wrote:We are have a number of drivers interested in testing th Kamaha, we are keen to offer Nathan McKane a drive if he and his manager wishes. Although we are happy if MRT wishes to test at the Kamaha family fun day and if Jones Racing wish to then they can too, just remember you F1RWRS fee.

Rhys Davies wrote:But Nathan is an MRT test driver, and is by your rules not allowed to drive your car. How does that work out?

Barii Mori wrote:I can make exceptions. The private tests will give McKane a chance to enter F1RWRS and if MRT don't sign him up then maybe he will be racing in a Kamaha.

Barii Mori wrote:Nicolas, as long as you race better then me then you shall have a gauranteed seat for 2016. You have shown that you are a top notch driver now you have a home, last season was the first season in your career that you have raced for the same team for every race and you notched up 5 podiums and it would have been more if not for the car breaking down, still this year I think you will rack up a win. I rather step down and give someone else a chance rather then race to make up the numbers.

Nicolas Steele wrote:Thank you Barii, I got confused with the last message there about McKane. I have no problems with him going into the other seat, however, I think you would be faster. Plus, this McKane guy is nowhere to be seen but in RoFLS. At least put him in F2RWRS first!

Nathan McKane wrote: I think somebody didn't notice that there was someone slightly faster than him at the first test. Plainly, it's not his fault to shrug off getting beat by a guy who hasn't driven a race car in real anger since November 2012. No harsh feelings, Nicolas.

Nicolas Steele wrote:It's only one test, plus you got plonked somehow into what is arguably one of the fastest cars on the grid, so don't get your hopes too high. Anyways, take my advice, if you are going to F1RWRS, don't expect everything to be given to you. You might have a test position to the fastest team on the grid, but the drivers there have to be top notch, and it's unlikely you'll sub in for them in a race situation, so you'll likely going to look for drives in other teams. Don't pick a team that will DNPQ in the drop of a hat, you'll get your career stuck there for years. I happened to rise towards the top since Kamaha built a fast car the same time I signed another contract extension with them. Don't go to Boxtel, they seem to be run by a melange of idiots, and Kekkonen, the golden boy of F1, seems to be on the team.

Aerond, just to highlight my earlier query, would Foxdale be able to test at the English Rockingham Motor Speedway after the next round, or would Knockhill/Silverstone be easier to arrange?

I haven´t checked Rockingham yet but there shouldn´t be any trouble to hold the test there any day between 1st and 6th April.
