Why are there two drivers called Martin van der Maeyede and Martin van der Meyde managed by the same person with the same nationality, it's so flipping confusing
A tribute to the heroic failures of Grand Prix racing

You want I to invoke Mecha's law on him?

I would've thought you would be in favour of that - it makes Mecha's job getting on to the grid that much easier.

At first glance, yes. However, when you know what excuses DGN and Holden made to not to arrive to the GP in question (DGN to focus on F1 and Holden after unable to given a fifth driver for the race due to FZ's legal issues), things became ridiculous.

What's wrong with that? Adds a bit of intrigue to the series, makes it more interesting! That's what an love about F1RWRS-it's so different to F1. Can you see someone getting a bucket of ice water being thrown over them on the F1 podium? Can you see post race brawls in F1? Are the rivalries as intense? The fact that DGN and HRT are allowed to do that makes the whole show more interesting, F1RWRS is not there to follow RL conventions.
I bet you won't be saying how ridiculous the situation is if both Mechas make the grid and somehow one scores a point

Which would be a shame because Buyvolov and Tajner really aren't that bad at all. It's all the car's fault. Tajner is easilly good enough to become world champion were he and Mark Dagnall to swap places.

Buyvolov needs a better drive too. The drivers can only do so much.

In his single appearance for Alitalia he was faster than Koczo.

I expect it will be five teams making it from pre-qualifying.

I agree, mainly due to all the leagues set in the past. The main 5 leagues are really the simplest things to understand in this timeline

Probably need a sub-Forum for the RWRS releated stuff. (F1R, F2R, F3R, F1RD, Indy, GTR, RoLFS, probably other stuff I'm missing) The cannon has swelled to an amazing size and it is sometimes tricky to keep track of everything, I agree.

Admittedly, it's very confusing for anyone new to RWRS what is canon, what isn't and why! If you have those questions then I'm not the man, but those series are the accepted canon.

If it wasn't for the Bathurst Enduro, the F1RMGP would probably be the headline of the other major canonical timeline (which consists of all of Samster's championships, Tommykl's 1950s F1 championship and your mid-late 70s championship)

I think they are unconnected? At least Samsters A1GP and tommykl's Formula One are seperate, since Barth died in A1GP 1951 and competes in F1 in 1952.

I object to that. You can count the connections to RWRS in that series on one hand. The current SRL has more connections than that.
