Well considering the car design seems to be conforming to some set of regulations that isn't the 2009 one, I say we're halfway there! Rejected before the car ever sees a F1 track, that should be a new record!

Unfortunately, i don´t have a TrackMania model of the 1999 season. This model belongs to the BMW Sauber ´08.

But i can modify the orange Arrows from 2000, the most beautiful f1 car ever.

Just wait for a while. :arrow:

I suppose with my current occupation, I could be one of the mechanics. Also, if we need to jumble the standings or test in the wet, I operate an ice resurfacer, a big fancy machine which pumps out lots of water.

MY contact at Ferrari has just sent us the details of their 2009 KERS system. (Actually he found the plans in the bin at the back of the building.)

StoneColdSpider · Post by **StoneColdSpider** » 03 May 2009, 12:56

ok.. the MasterCard money came through.. for now...
the car is even better than the last one....

Runs like a dog with no legs down the straight
handles corners like a submarine
and have the braking capability of a boat!
the steering wheel still has a horriable vibration....

sadly tho Debaser did to good a job of cleaning the car... the glare off it in the falling sun cause me to run wide and clip the barrier breaking the front left wishbone... but never fear.... just before i left the garage for the night i saw Peter Monteverdi trying to weld it back together!

Humph, all the good spots are already taken.

Still, I'm pretty handy with my BB Pistol, so I could be the teams' security officer. It isn't that much a lethal weapon (haven't tried though), but hey, then we could catch them evil spies alive!

I'm also adept in driving games so I could be, err, 3rd reserve driver?

engines are very expensive, too expensive for us. We have to accept the reality that we can't afford one.

Instead, all we need to do is put a cheap stereo in the car with a tape of pre-recorded engine noises. Turn the volume up to max and we will have the roar of a 17,000 rpm V8 monster for no money at all.

This f1 business is easier than I thought

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 03 May 2009, 23:34

The graphics of the car look great. I just cannot figure out who the pay driver is that brought along the Globo TV sponsorship. Maybe we thought we had a test and replacement driver signed up. Maybe his manager told him, he had better chances of getting in some track time in a Brazilian car, where he would have to share the 3rd driver ride with 5 other drivers, one of them being Giedo Van Der Garde? So said driver jumped ship, tore apart his printing of his contract with F1 Rejects Racing Ltd. and jumped into the Copersucar spare car instead? Maybe the guy is better off with that ride anyway than with the Life W12 pushing him on.
If I remembered the driver's name, it would be clear whom Enoch has to sue now. But as long as we cannot figure out, we must keep the Globo TV logos on the car, otherwise we can't sue them for money, like SuperAguri did when SS United didn't pay up.

Besides that, I hear that F1 Rejects Racing Ltd. had a falling-out with the tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, so they don't have a tyre supply and must run on wet tyres that the other teams don't need when it's dry.

And it's of utmost importance that F1 Rejects Racing copies Ferrari's automatted Lollipop man traffic lights system from last year. That is a sure way to win the nosecone championship.

And how the Life W12 engine ever got under the engine freeze is beyond me. Maybe because it never ran long enough to be hot.

I have just one slight criticism: the numbers on the car should not be below 30. A car like the Spirit-Honda from the 80s ran with number 40 on it, the number that Forti Corse never got. F1 Rejects Racing Ltd. should get numbers 47 and 48, and move into the pit stalls accordingly, which should find them somewhere in the middle of the support race pitlane.

DonTirri · Post by **DonTirri** » 04 May 2009, 00:06

Also, to be in the spirit of Rejectdom, the car should feature the following things:

- No sidepods a la Ligier JS23
- Periscope mirrors a la Eifelland
- Midwing a la McLaren MP4/10
- viking horns a la McLaren MP4-20
- Periscope Airbox on the rear a la AGS JH22
- Ironingboard front wing a la March 711
- Teapot Airbox a la Ligier JS5
- Armchair cockpitwalls a la Ferrari F310
With those addons, the car would be a true reject design

So you also own the three World of Sounds/Dolphin's Formula 1 Sounds albums?

As far as engines goes, we can always show up without them and try to borrow an engine from a fellow backmarker team (Ferrari?). While we are at it, do we have a tyre pressure gauge or will we borrow one of those too?

Do we even need any sponsorship? Honda are a successful multi-billion pound corporation who employ thousands of people, and if they felt that sponsorship was beneath them then perhaps so should we.

We should employ the wizards from Honda to come up with a brilliant environmental or humanitarian message to be plastered over the car. I've spent the last 30 seconds developing a "Pollution Bad" concept, where we use the car to show people that pollution is bad. The car should show pictures of sea birds covered in oil, fish choking in blackened rivers and mice trapped in discarded beer cans.

This Pollution Bad concept doesn't bring in any money, but it will give us good PR. And that's the important thing

Yannick · Post by **Yannick** » 04 May 2009, 15:00

Working with borrowed engines of different manufacturers and if none is available, with a stereo system emulating engine sounds is priceless. Now who wouldn't want to be at the wheel in the pits when giving the "Sounds of Formula 1" CD a spin in the car?

We could use the sponsoeship Tyrrell had when they had "Xena: Warrior Princess" as a sponsor...

I offer to bring Filling, Fondmetal, Safra and Sega sponsorship by means not to be disclosed at this point.
I might as well get my hand on some Mugen engines, hopefully also screwing a better backmarker team than ourselves.

They probably won't fit in the car anyways.

And all the insects falling out of the sky and fans suffocating from another engine explosion. Not only do we show "Pollution Bad," but we make it an interactive experience! Take that Honda!

We could easily attach those on the front of a nose with radiators (the Ensign posted in the JDD forums) and vertical panels further back on the nose (French GP Sauber C24 I think).

Holy shite, that new livery looks good. But where did you get "GLOBO TV" from? Also, I think any F1 team has to be a constructor, so either we have to get involved with Reynard/Lola/whomever through some kind of partnership deal, or build our own chassis. Anyone trained in mechanics?

And um... yeah, I guess I could do something... I'm not very good at anything, except lots of weird shite that aren't useful in any way. I'm a little artsy, so I was going to ask if I could design the livery, but that black Andrea Moda-ish one looks stunning already. I could drive too, I guess. We could always hire existing drivers, if we can get some money to pay their salaries. You realize every driver has to get a superlicence, eh? I'm not sure if some of the older people here can get out of their cockpit in 10 seconds... :mrgreen:

Also, I can budget-cap myself and spend €10 less in the next three months, so I can retroactively donate €30 before the team entrance deadline...
