Grand Prix Rejects

I've finally managed to get around to working on my new idea for a series on here (see here and here ). I've devised my own way of running this on Excel, using 2012 F1 laptimes as a base guide (percentages of lap records, plus some standard deviation geekiness to ensure there's some variety and chan...

Be wary when editing the wiki at the moment - they are doing maintenance and every now and then you'll get errors.

I just lost a HUGE amount that I did for Formula Community...

Needless to say, back up the code in notepad or something before you preview/submit!

Holden Dealer Team will not renew Lowndes contract It is understood that HDT has given Lowndes notice that he will not be required next season. The rookie Australian, currently 15th in the driver's standings for the 2002 AltCART season, has scored little more than half the points of his experienced...

AustralianStig

I love how technically "Junior" and "Masters" technically makes this the first (?) series with a paradox in its name

AustralianStig

Hooray! Finally Tracy manages to get a win and rockets back up the Driver's Championship from 11th to 7th

But Lowndes...well let's just say if he doesn't perform well in the last three races (especially at Australia) he's not going to have his contract renewed next season.

Another 25k of Pegasus' finance will be pumped into the Cosworth project. ARA unfortunately don't have the funds to match this, but we will invest another $15k (which actually works out to being close 60/40, which is appropriate seeing as this is how we share the profits) EDIT: This investment has ...

The Australian Racing Academy are sympathetic to Blokkmonsta's plight. While we don't have any spare vehicles or drivers we will be happy to lend our pit crew to help get a vehicle race ready, should one be available. We implore all other teams to assist Blokkmonsta - no team should be without an ap...

Australian Racing Academy provide underwhelming showing at Moscow The inaugural Formula Community season kicked off today with qualifying at Moscow Raceway. One of the teams expecting to dominate before the start of the season was Mark Webber's Australian Racing Academy, which thanks to a shrewd bu...

AustralianStig

Ouch, that's a hugely disappointing result for the Australian Racing Academy, seeing as we were expecting our engine package to be the best. Do our drivers feel that they will get used to the custom body or are they just overall a bad design? Also, Aaron Capon's name has two A's, and our other drive...

AustralianStig

Australian Racing Academy will bid 15k for the shares. We don't need any more cars though.

Eh, shipping to Australia looks like it will be about $26, otherwise I'd be keen.

Also for Cosworth, I assume the 60-40 split goes in Pegasus's favour?

Not a problem, and yep that's right.

AustralianStig

I've just started a page on the wiki for this series: m I even managed to find a Flag of Mars for Johnny Cab Racing! I'm planning to include details of the voting and bidding etc, so we don't lose the history in the countless pages we've already racked up on the thread - stay tuned! Feel free to mak...

And here I was thinking of running a team with NO drivers and just allowing gravity, the earth's rotation and wind to drive our cars.

Not a problem!

My wife asked me the other day why after spending all day at work staring at Excel sheets I then do the same thing at home to relax! I told her it's complicated.

AustralianStig

Hey TMLW, I was just collating the Constructor results for the wiki and I believe Dallara and Plus One should be on 98 and 31 - perhaps you missed a couple of pole/FL bonuses?

AustralianStig

Who is this "Schumacher" you speak of?

And hiring another rookie driver like Senna probably isn't what the team needs at the moment - now that we are beginning to step up we need experience to get the feedback on where we can go faster.

AustralianStig

Whoa Paul Tracy's lack of consistency cost him 4 positions in the Driver's Championship? Damn...

AustralianStig

Greg Murphy Racing would like some more POWAR please.

7BHP @ $20k each = $140k

Well on that basis we would like to spend our £25,000 on a partnership with cosworth like Pegasus are. You realise you will be starting from scratch with Cosworth, not working on the Pegasus/ARA/Cosworth engine right? If you want to buy in to our deal you would need to negotiate terms with Pegasus ...

Excellent! Therefore ARA are investing 70k into Pegasus' already upgraded engine.

AustralianStig

We will also spend £70,000 on enlisting Cosworth to develop our engines; we hope this will be a fruitful partnership. The Australian Racing Academy are hoping to come to an agreement with Pegasus and Cosworth. We will match your initial investment of 70k to further invest in the engine if Pegasus a...

At this point the Australian Racing Academy would like to modify the chassis of both vehicles, they will have the designation of Grit-01.

We are also hoping to strike a deal with another team in regards to engine supply - seems the market is flooded at the moment so give us your best price, people.

AustralianStig

Chassis rules: As these cars are tube frame, you can slightly modify the car shape. This will give a small performance bonus or disadvantage that will vary from Circuit to circuit. To modify the body shape, you must make a one off cost of 10,000 per Car, you must also name the new car shape. Curren...

Excellent, some more points for me and the team and another podium finish for Shane. I wasn't happy with the stewards' decision on the coming together with Mondlane, though. Sure, I could have left her more room but she's been driving erratically all season so...anyway Monza should be a strong circ...

Thanks pasta! Not even sure why I was doing the ! character now I think about it...

Can anyone tell me why the team names in the standings aren't aligning to the left for me here?

As the Australian Racing Academy's mission is to give Australian drivers a stepping stone into Europe and International competition, we are shunning the drivers offered and promoting local talent instead: Driver Name: Aaron Capon Nationality: Australian Age: 20 Strongest Area: On-road Driver Name: B...

First up, congratulations to Shane, he's going to be tough to beat with that kind of consistency this year. Now, obviously I'm pretty disappointed I didn't manage to get in the points this race, but making up 17 places in one race is still good, man. Just need to get better and qualifying strongly ...

I'm not even going to respond to that - your comment just makes no sense and I can't even begin to imagine how you drew that conclusion.

I agree that it doesn't have much added value. At least not for people familiar with the history of F1, i think it could be a good movie for people less familiar with f1, though. A good introduction movie, let's say. Anyway, let's wait until i've seen Rush, that sounds promising. Agreed, I took my ...

I read somewhere (I think it was Sky) that it would be the first time since the 1960s since there were no Brazilians on the grid.
