I think Lappy's just had a stroke at the prospect of having to run two more qualifying sessions and six more races by the end of next week. :lol:

Seriously though, I'll get to work on the wiki pages ASAP.

Is it possible to add RoLFS drivers Mika Paasonen and Deiter Hallenstein to the test driving for Autodynamics. They are not pay drivers.

Yeah, that'll be fine. Can you slot Joel Melrose into one of the Autodynamic seats for the test while you're at it?

I'm OK with this, just hoping he doesn't go all Maldonado and crash

I for one hope so to because the last thing Melrose needs is a massive repair bill before Monaco because his brother decided that sticking someone else's car into a fence was a good idea.

And for the record, Joel is a regular driver.

I noticed their wiki page didn't have a team logo so drew that one up quickly

I'm sure with more time I'd have come up with something nicer but it's not like I get paid to do this!

Autosport wrote:Katayama sisters seeking Rockingham test

Yuko and Shinobu Katayama have approached a number of the teams testing at Rockingham to see if they can wangle a test drive, at the moment neither the sisters or any teams have commented but we think at least one of the sisters will be driving at Rockingham. Yuko Katayama is currently racing for F2RWRS team Falik Arrows and Shinobu Katayama has her future in the air as she is suspended from the Sunshine F1RWRS for speaking out against them and has been linked to Revolution, Tropico and just staying at the underperforming Sunshine team.

A number of F1RWRS teams do not have logos, including Kamaha. If you like to make one... then it should have red and yellow on a white background...

Tropico News Today wrote:Cara Going To Rockingham?

In a very generous display, Alberto Cara announced that he is willing to sacrifice his free time to join either one of a number of F1RWRS teams testing. Foxdale Auto Racing Team, Aeroracing Engineering, Castrol Jones Racing F1RWRS Team and Red Bull Autodynamics GP will do testing on 6 April of this year.

After having been handed the most outrageous and unfair ban in the history of sport, Cara, being the great man that he is, just like his parents, wishes to hone his skills. Rumours have it that our glorious leader has decided to sweeten the deal even more by offering any team that lets Cara join their test a spot for a driver at a Tropico private test to take place later this year.

Yeah, there you have it: get Cara to test in Rockingham for you and any driver of your choice gets to test for Tropico.

If he is still eligible for F3RWRS, and if the ban doesn't transfer, Good Call are willing to give Cara an F3RWRS outing in Monaco

Sadly, bans do transfer - at least if Mitchell Macklin set a precident. Raul Souto Maior is noted for Tropico's next in-season test.

Too much white space, too much text. Logos are meant to be seen and recognised, not read like a sentence. There is a lot to learn about logo theory, but here's an extremely basic five point breakdown;

And generally stick to one or two fonts, and usually no more than 3 colours.

Thanks for the heads up, I think you are bothe incredibly talented with this sort of thing so I am grateful for the advice. I was generally aware of the 3 colours rule anyway, but looking back on the logo I violated that rule along with others :lol:

We understand that Prince Falik has asked Sammy Jones personally to see if the F2RWRS Falik Arrows drivers, Yuka Katayama and Josh Carlisle can test the Jones car at Rockingham. The two team owners have had a good relationshi with both running drivers that the other manages.

If there is no objection from Sunshine or the FRWRS management then Shinobu Katayama will be testing the Aeroracing car.

It will come as no surprise that I intend to give the most track time to myself and Rosco in order to try and improve the car, but nonetheless this will be an excellent opportunity for these young drivers to pilot an F1RWRS car.

I don't think anyone got the message, but I'll say it again - Groves would wish to resign from his seat with immediate effect to personal reasons. Tommy Nash, who is willing to be a pay-driver, has been mentioned as a possible replacement.

I did and he's gone from the wiki, so everyone except eurobrun did I think! It's his responsibility to announce a replacement...

If Klon agrees, Scuderia Alitalia would be willing to lend (pay-driver) Miko Fäkkinen to Autodynamics for the next round, with no commitment to future races afterwards.

Nash can't be turned into a pay-driver as he debuted as a normal driver.

I thought you could change it as long as you don't make a regular driver a pay-driver when they have more than 10 points...

No. As far as my understanding goes, the rule is that drivers cannot change their pay/regular status unless they're:
a. A pay driver and
b. Has scored more than 10 points in their career.

No, it isn't possible because when a driver debuts, its stats can either be fixed, but upgradable (Regular driver), or random, but locked (Pay driver).

Well, depending on how you interpret the Rockingham test lineup, O'Lauchlan's back in the seat for Monaco but that'll be for Mr Hamilton to confirm.

I interpret it as O'Lauchlan was demoted to test driver and the second race seat is open to offers thank you mister pushy agent...

Huh? I thought he was yours because he raced for Tropico! I am confused to hell then, I don't think I even legally signed him as a test driver, I hope Phoenix doesn't mind :shock:

Indeed, Mikko Fäkkinen is my driver. I originally created him to compete in tristan's F1RGP2, but strangely enough, while I kept a close eye on him on that championship, I completely forgot he was entered in F1RWRS too despite seeing his name more than once.

In short, I'll take care of him, and you can send him to Autodynamics if you wish, since both teams are equally screwed right now and I don't know if better offers would arise.
