F1RWRS - A computerised F1Reject series

[dr-baker]

Dear Douglas, would you keep your drivers on a lead? I feel your long whippersnapper of a driver is trying too hard to cover his tracks when he got drunk. As for the CCTV footage, it looks like some fat bloke with a wig, my lawyers said you would be laughed out of court if your driver tries to use it as evidence. Me, the great Prince Falik, is a serious businessman, yes, yes and I do not feel I am getting any respect from anyone except the Fox. As for Melrose, I am sure the only time you will see an Arrowtech in your mirrors next season is when we come to overtake you.

Really? Seriously? You give me the choice between a guy who I grew up with and will be my future brother-in-law versus a businessman whom you admit gets no respect from anybody but the Fox, and you expect me to choose you? Get real and sod off. Look, Ben has confirmed to me that he will stay with us next year, and that he has no time for you at all. And about the CCTV footage - I am more concerned about the reliability and performance of my team's cars and winning further races than suing some overhyped Prince who is full of his own importance.

By the way,
to dr-baker; Who´s gonna be in the car for Shanghai; Pippa or Ben?

to TMLW; Will Davies race the GRM or the HRT?

I'll answer that with this:

Davies to finish year with GRM
F1RWRS driver Rhys Davies has announced that he will finish the year driving for Garry Rogers Motorsport. "Well, now that the championship race is over, I'm going after race wins, and the GRM has proven to be much faster than the HRT. After Macau, when we had a legitimate shot at the race, I made the decision that I'll speak to Garry and Mark, and see if it can be arranged." This means that John Zimmer will finish the season for HRT, although the team did announce that they may make a peace offering to Dagnall Engineering, by putting next year's driver Nathan Scott in the car at Interlagos, if he can pay for the seat.

[The Lukas]

Mirko Bosevic will also be tested with Dofasco Racing?
Tomorrow's team Dofasco Racing will present a list of five drivers.who will be represented by its color during the next test at Brno circuit on 3-5 September.Among them, ran out of Mirko Bosevica, the German newspaper Die Welt in its Sunday edition published information that Croatian driver will guide Dallara F190 car during testing at Brno circuit.

[Shizuka]

By the way,
to dr-baker; Who´s gonna be in the car for Shanghai; Pippa or Ben?

to TMLW; Will Davies race the GRM or the HRT?

Just a notice: Shizuka to be in the FAT for this race and the Budweiser 500, but after that I'm back in Sunshine.

[dr-baker]

By the way,
to dr-baker; Who´s gonna be in the car for Shanghai; Pippa or Ben?

Ben this time. See if he can get a finish himself.

Prince Falik disappointed at Foxdale

Prince Falik stated he was disappointed with Foxdale owner Douglas Mann and his driver Ben Fleet, "I made an offer to further Ben Fleets career, I mean racing is probably more important then plodding around testing, as with the testing ban means Ben would be twiddling his thumbs most of the season, although I am sure Pippa Mann would like that, ho ho ho, I made a funny see? Anyway, Ben and Douglas could have just said no, but they lied and made fun of me. I have no respect for Foxdale at all.", Arrowtech are still looking for another driver with Saeed Al Faisal and Dave Simpson being the top targets.

Foxdale Auto Racing Team Press Release

We would like to apologise to all our fans for any recent bad publicity that may or may not have recently been leaked to the press about any contract negociations that occured between Ben Fleet and the right honourable Prince Falik. We would like to confirm that Ben Fleet is remaining happily at Foxdale for the foreseeable future, sharing his seat with Pippa Mann, whose seat he took over earlier this season. Also, he will be driving the Foxdale for at least the next race, and then it will be decided who gets the seat next time out.

[Aerospeed]

Mirko Bosevic linked to ArrowTech seat: Report
According to the local sources, former F1 driver Mirko Bosevic, who comes from Croatia, is being linked to be in one of the ArrowTech seats. It has been confirmed that Daniel Melrose has left ArrowTech. Daniel Martins has yet to confirm his seat for the 2014 season. ArrowTech's 2014 season will have a new owner, that of Prince Falik. However, Falik's relations with the rest of the grid has not gotten off to a good start as he has numerous spats with Foxdale Test Driver Ben Fleet, and the rest of the Foxdale team, including the Mann siblings of Douglas and Pippa. The Fox was not available to comment on Prince Falik. Bosevic has ran five races in the 1999 season with Arrows, only finishing once, and was shortly booted off the team due to poor results. "Hopefully Bosevic will show his talent with us, if he decides to race with us. Mr. Bosevic has undeniable talent, and I hope to bring him into the ArrowTech team.

[AndreaModa]

Sammy Jones Backs Prince

F1RWRS team owner and driver Sammy Jones last night came out in support of ArrowTech and it's new owner Prince Falik amid claims the Prince was not being well received by he paddock.

"I think it's an absolute disgrace" blasted the Castrol Jones Racing owner, "here we have a new owner, with a sizeable amount of money available which will boost the sport considerably, being openly ridiculed by numerous sections of the paddock. I drove alongside Douglas Mann at West Cliff and considered him to be a decent bloke but to be quite honest the way Foxdale are going it seems the entire operation is just out to make a mockery of the paddock. It makes Phoenix McAllister's operation look like the best run outfit in the history of mankind and that Spanish douchebag couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. ArrowTech have the potential to be a very good team, I'll make no bones about the fact I was interested in purchasing it when it was up for sale in order to merge it with my own operation, but to see it continue with a new lease of life is excellent, and to the benefit of the sport. Douglas Mann, his sister and her lover-boy should keep their family antics to themselves and if they have another embarrassing season in 2014, I suggest they shouldn't bother and try their hand at All-Star Family Fortunes instead! They should move aside and let the series be contested by drivers who are prepared to put their careers on the line by moving teams to try and improve their results and by teams who are open to employing the best drivers they can offer their services to, rather than operating a closed-door, 'family-run' policy that makes the entire team look like a big bunch of inbred gypsies touring round in caravans."

Apologies folks, felt like spicing things up again from my side!

Sammy Jones Backs Prince

...

Apologies folks, felt like spicing things up again from my side!

No problems - the Manns and Ben Fleet have spent so long without any controversy, and their first scandal seems to have gone somewhere. It'll be interesting to see how popular the Foxdale barbeque is at the next race after this...

[The Lukas]

Dofasco Racing confirmed by tests Bosevic,Tajner,Zuber
Dofasco Racing Team today officially confirmed that the next test at Brno circuit which will be held,3-5 September
attended by Mirko Bosevic,Tomislaw Tajner,Mattias Zuber.None listed Dannon Cannon and Richie White means that both resigned from the job for next season.
All three will lead the team SOTL old car. Dallara F190 which everyone will be able to steer the car after half an hour.

[Pointrox]

Bosevic to test with Dofasco and ArrowTech
Mirko Bosevic is really set to make his return to racing in 2014. Apart from being signed as a Tropico Grand Prix driver for Budweiser 500, Croatian driver will do some testing for Dofasco (ex-SOTL, bought by Polish enterpreneur Grzegorz Sobczyk) and ArrowTech (Canadian team, co-owned by The Fox and Prince Falik).
Bratislav Bosevic - Mirko's father, who's managing his son's career - says that he didn't expect Mirko to be so popular among F1RWRS teams, and hopes to find him a drive in 2014.

[SuperAguri]

Drivers come out in force to test for Arrowtech

Arrowtech are having a 3 day test session at Jerez at the end of the season to find a new driver for the 2014 season. Mirko Bosevic has confirmed and it is known that Dave Simpson and Saeed Al Faisal are likely to test too. Richie White who has failed to prequalify this season but had a podium in the underpowered Group Lotus car last season and David Koczo who is a proven race winner but has struggled in the Calinetic car this season is also likely to test. Strong rumours are that Jari Kekkonen will be asked to test by Prince Falik and that even Daniel Martins may be forced to justify his seat.

Prince Falik said "I will urge The Fox to choose the driver that has the best average time over the 3 day test as long as they complete a good number of laps, the team need a good strong pair of drivers if we are going to challenge for the top", The Fox was unavailable to comment.

Prince Falik also praised Sammy Jones for coming out and defending him, "Sammy Jones is a good bloke, he knows that I, the great Prince Falik, come into the F1RWRS to help Arrowtech progress and I will spend money to do so. He gives me the respect I deserve and he is a great gentleman, but I am happy that Douglas Mann has apologised, it takes a great man to do that and hopefully we shall have cordial relationships, yes, yes. I shall send them a crate of P-Minus.",

[Phoenix]

Aha! I knew Sammy Jones would be lurking in the murky depths of his motorhome hoping for an opportunity to blast me and my team again. Well, my team is extremely well organised, and much to our credit, we don't sign arrogant, slandering German cocks. And I've already succesfully organized a piss up in a brewery. It was quite disgusting, but that's not the point. Next season, we'll have a car that'll be good enough to send Castrated Jones Raving Lunatics where they belong: behind us, so he can dream about ramming us off the road again and Kay Lon can be taught some humility.

[AndreaModa]

But darling, you'll have to clear pre-qualifying first, and we know how difficult you've found that this year!

[The Lukas]

Dofasco Establish technical cooperation with the MRT?
According to unofficial reports Dofasco Racing team (Ex-SOTL).
establish technical cooperation with MRT. this team Dofasco will use the wind tunnel with the team about once a transmission team from Munich.

[Jack O Melley]

To Aerond: Trueba would like to spend all its credits (20, if I remember correctly) left in its disposal, 10 for Giovanni Roda qualifying performance and 10 for James Davies qualifying performance

RACE

Both Dagnalls do a great start. Chris gets the lead and Mark climbs up to 4th! There´s also a little bit of shake up among the top 10.





On lap 3 Katayama passes Mark Dagnall for 4th and Rhys Davies pits with a puncture and loses almost one lap. Next lap Fleet gets past Chris Dagnall and Respati climbs up to 8th. Al Faisal pits with an electrical issue. One lap later Douglas Mann passes Chris Dagnall as well and both Foxdales open a small gap, it takes only two extra laps for Katayama to get 3rd and chase the barbecue kings.



Frank Zimmer suffers also some trouble and this puts both GRM cars dead last. On lap 20 both Foxdales get to lap the main group and traffic issues start to arise. Mark Dagnall suffers a problem and is out of the race. He´s the first retirement so it means a new record of relaibility as all 26 drivers were still racing.

Lap 24:



Both Foxdales are programmed to last 25 laps as Fleet and Mann retire at the same time! Katayama gets the lead. Jones and McFaste start the stops galore for 2 stoppers. Katayama pits in lap 31 and gives Dagnall the lead, who´s going for just one stop. De Bock goes for one as well. On lap 33 there´s an incredible accident: As McFaste passes Martins he collides with Simpson at the first corner (who was just exiting the pits). McFaste goes straight to the wall, but Simpson is lucky enough to be able to put reverse and continue and Martins and Dagnall (who was just trying to lap the bunch) are able to pass the corner.




Lap 36:


On lap 39 Katayama is about to pass De Bock but half spins and miracously avoids the wall:



It only takes him 3 extra laps to pass De Bock though and he´s 17 secs behind Dagnall now, who stops on lap 45. De Bock pits lap 47.

Lap 48:



On lap 52 Katayama retires and Dagnall gets the lead. 4 laps later Pratchett passes Respati for 6th and on lap 60 the 2nd round of stops start;



Pratchett is 3rd after the round of stops, Lon 4th, Moll 5th and Shizuka 6th. John Zimmer passes Martins for 8th. On lap 68 De Bock retires and 4 laps later Moll retires as well. John Zimmer passes Respati for 6th and Shizuka spins, ruining his chance for points. On lap 73 is John Zimmer who suffers trouble and has to pit to fix it but there´re no more incidents until the end of the race and Chris Dagnall wins his 2nd race of the season!




FASTEST LAP: Shinobu Katayama (Sunshine) -- 58.311
ROTR: GRM - Usually in the points, both suffered a very anonymous weekend with a poor qualifying and race at the very back hampered with problems.

TAKE THAT PRINCE FALIK !!! Yeah

[SuperAguri]

Ah, Ben Fleet and Douglas Mann may be mocking me now, but they know that the Arrowtech cars will be in front of the Foxdale cars at the end of the race. You mark my words, I shall be around with a freshly baked humble pie for Foxdale to eat.

Well Sunshine are happy with the qualifying positions, just hope we can get to the end of the race.

If cars ahead of us break down and we do not then we shall score the odd point, we are on the cusp of the prequalifying battle and we hope that Sunshine, Dagnall and Foxdale do well.

[DanielPT]

I really hope that this time the car is reliable. It was one of my best laps in qualifying so I guess 19th was the best we could hope for today.

Nah, not likely. We'll probably double-DNF from podium positions (unless it's around the pit-stop windows...). And thank you for offering to bring dessert to our legendary barbeques - you are very welcome to attend with it!

To get back on the race calendar issue: can we have the Norisring race called the Bavarian Grand Prix anyhow, even if we "only" have one race in Germany. For some reason I like the idea of having the Bavarian Grand Prix, it's a classic ... despite the fact that I don't like Bavaria.

Kay Lon arrested at Chinese GP

A few hours after the qualifying session, several police officers arrested Jones driver Kay Lon for an alleged sexual assault on a young Chinese karting driver. We understand he was questioned at the Shanghai central police HQ for 3 hours before being bailed and instructed to appear before a court on Monday morning after the Chinese GP.

His arrest has not stopped his fans from coming out and there were many banners and placards being waved by female Chinese fans, "Can I play with your Gear Stick Kay?", "You can attack my curves anytime" and "0 to orgasm in 20 minutes" were some of the more printable ones.

Kay Lon nor anyone from Jones racing were available to comment, although we asked Barii Mori about it, he just fell to the floor laughing. Although he did say "I will be disappointed if Kay Lon gets a jail term as he won't be able to appear in court next week for the Kamaha Vs Kay Lon trial".

Respati to retire and become full-time team principal
11 Sep 12, 11:04 | AUTOSPORT.com

Resi Respati, the main driver and part-time principal of his self-formed racing team Flying Fish Motorsports, has stated at Flying Fish Motorsport's pre-Chinese GP press conference that he will retire from racing at the end of the 2013 season to focus more on running the team.

Here are his statements at the press conference:

It has been clear to me, that the team won't be going anywhere when I am still in the wheel. I've been feeling that I've been concentrating too much on my racing than on improving the team, most of my mechanics are feeling the same way.

Respati also felt that his mechanics are too concentrated on himself, giving fellow teammate Yu-Hiang Hao a trouble for himself.

A new hope from Japan

At the press conference, Respati have also stated that he has secured a partnership with former Super Aguri team principal Aguri Suzuki.

Super Aguri also bought 75% stake of the team, and announced Aguri Suzuki as the new team principal, alongside Respati as managing director.

The arrival of Suzuki-san to the team was celebrated with a warm welcome. We are sure that Suzuki-san will bring many positive changes to our team.

The team also stated that next year they will be running with the new name "Flying Fish Motorsports Team Aguri", and secured Autobacs as the new title sponsor.

Respati also stated that 3 talented Japanese drivers will be selected from Aguri Suzuki's driver development program, to complete the driver seats with one full-time replacement to Respati's seat, and 2 more replacement drivers.

American Racing Teams Announce Partnership

During today's scheduled American Racing Conglomerate press conference, ARC president Stan Lehman announced that ARC and Team America F1 IN YOUR FACE! (from F1RGMP) have entered into a technical partnership.
"Well, Colonel Sanders and I thought: Why are there two American Racing Teams in the world? The last time there were two Americas was during the Civil War, and we all know how that went." The partnership is expected to bring KFC sponsorship to the American Racing Conglomerate cars.

[Aerond]

Shanghai results UP!

[AndreaModa]

Well naturally I'm pretty pissed that I retired from the race, but otherwise delighted that Kay got a podium, which now puts us only 6 points off second place in the constructors' championship. Hopefully in these final two races both of us enjoy some good reliability and score some solid points which we know we're capable of and snatch that second place!

I'd also like to take the time to comment on the allegations of sexual assault levelled at Kay Lon. Obviously I'm going to treat this matter very seriously indeed, and I'd like to make it clear now that such actions, should they be proven correct, are completely unacceptable for a front-running team in the F1RWRS. As team owner and principle, I cannot have my driver caught up in such diabolical circumstances, they threaten the commitment of sponsors and ultimately the future of the team itself. We've already lost the backing of Nabisco and it's Oreos brand for 2014 thanks to the court case which has dragged my team further into dirt it didn't need to be in after my issues with Phoenix McAllister and Barii Mori last year which lost me my title sponsorship with RubberTex, and should this new allegation drag on for any length of time, then I seriously have to review the case for Kay Lon being a driver at my race team. I'm already being told Embassy are having second thoughts about committing to sponsorship for next year, and that would be a bitter blow to loose them before this season has even ended.
