Rejectrucks Super Series Thread -- M'ville/Chardiere Run

RejectSport wrote:Cessler blasts "idiot" Marko
As the Rejectruck field made their final pitstops with only a few laps remaining in the Rejectrucks Grand Prix of Mexico, it looked like the way was clear for 20-year-old Sandra Cessler to take the win. The two-time USAC Midget champion had been very quick throughout the weekend, but it was not to be for the Delaware-native, as she first was beat out of the pits following an inspired pit call for two tyres from Ryan Zimmer. A couple laps later, she was pushed down to third after contact from Jochen Marko, who attempted the same strategy earlier in the race but to less effect.

"We came here with the best truck, started on pole, and finished 3rd, so no, I'm not happy with the way today went," expressed Cessler following the race, "Especially since I think the only mistake I made was not getting off the start as well as Jayleen [Mori]. Not to take anything away from him or Ryan [Zimmer], they drove well today. It's a shame I can't say the same for that idiot Marko, though. How stupid do you have to be to not see a great big truck slowing down on your inside and wind up hitting it!? There was plenty of room between me and Jayleen for him to make it 3-wide, and if he didn't want to do that, fine, that's why he has brakes. Maybe someone should tell him he has those so he doesn't try using my truck for one again."

RejectSport wrote:Henri Racing Tech not Impressed with Results

After round 2 of the Rejectrucks Super Series at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, the Henri team were less than impressed with their results so far this year.

Team boss Jean-Phillipe Henri gave the following interview post-race in pit lane with RejectSport:

"Our results have not been on par with our expectations so far this year," the Frenchman reported.

"Arguably, one side of the story states that our poor results have been because of bad luck. Jukka-Pekka had a brilliant run going in Adelaide when he suffered a lot of damage when in contention for the top 5 and the DQ for a pit lane entrance violation. Being rammed in the pits by a TDR driver didn't help either.

"You could also say our poor qualifying results are not helping either. Our qualifying pace has been poor in Adelaide and Mexico City, only getting 17th on both occasions. But we proved in Adelaide that we had a truck that ran very well in race trim and we got up the field quickly. Jukka-Pekka has driven well this season, even without points.

"But even though we know we have a good truck, and we can be proud of that, results wise, we were not happy."

Jukka-Pekka Kankaanpaa had these following statements:

"We are happy that we have a good, if not great truck this year. But we need to work on qualifying and we need to keep out of trouble on track, as our good race in Adelaide was destroyed by a hell of a lot of damage, and a DQ. Quali in Mexico led to our downfall."

Henri will be looking for points come the next 2 races, and if they don't come, they will be hard-pressed to figure out what has gone wrong.

At the beggining you said that there would be races that will allow at least 2 more trucks. That's why I asked if I could change to a 2-truck operation, just in case the former was not posible.

That pretty much means if the track can hold the 26th truck -- which I'm pretty sure all of them can, but no guarantees on that.

Walt Disney World race. Beware length.

Fastest lap: Stephan Generic -- fairly early on, too. That lap he set when I checked early in the race held up.

Sasha was doing a great race, but in the last restart, I believe that someone put her into the wall, the truck got way damaged and even with a last effort, she couldn't stay into the points. VRT wants an investigation of the crash, and if it was really someone else fault, some punishment.

I dunno if we could've caught Jackie [Gardner] today, but we definately could've put ourselves in a great position in the championship, but that damn lunatic Generic threw his damn truck all over the damn place out there! I mean, towards the end there he killed both our speed with one of his stupid blocks, and that let the 54 past both of us! What the hell kind of logic is that, he might as well have let me by! It's really frustrating, especially when the 2 leaders in the championship had crap days, that we couldn't do the best that we could've, but there's still quite a few races left and I think we can keep plugging away. This 18 team is working really well together, and it's so great to have great trucks every race, and I'm sure we can get those points we lost today back. It's just really tough when you have to race against some idiot whose head is full of rocks, but then again, I could've had to deal with David Bloom, I guess.

After a shady start to the season, Plus One driver Cutmore has decided to call his short career in RejecTrucks quits. The reasons behind this are as of yet unknown, but rwrsupdate.com understand that he had simply lost faith in his abilities as a driver.

The fate of Plus One's second truck remains unknown, however strong rumours from the paddock suggest funding will be cut to the entry.

TL;DR, Cutmore out, I'm working on securing a replacement

ESPN wrote:Kankaanpää: We did as well as we could

The Henri Racing Tech team was not in a very good mood after the race at Walt Disney World, but the result was about the best they could do.

"We had a fast truck all weekend and we knew it," Kankaanpää told reporters.

"We had a very good truck in Free Practice, being fastest in Free Practice 2. The qualifying for the grid was very tight, all of the trucks were about a second within the top running pace.

"Unfortunately for me and the team, our qualifying run was about 2 tenths down on Generic, but that put us 21 places down on the front row. We know our qualifying pace isn't the best, and the field was really tight, but we were more than surprised. I knew we had a lot of work to do on race day.

"So the race is on, and the yellow early on gave us another shot, but we couldn't pass anyone. The truck was ill-handling compared to earlier in the weekend. The rest of the race went downhill from there, as we didn't have enough speed compared to Gardner and the other frontrunners. We were very close to getting caught up in many incidents today, notably lap 3 and the last incident, which didn't help the team's confidence level. They were tense on the radio the whole time, wondering what would happen next."

The whole point is, considering the circumstances, we deserved better than this, but we must move on."

Jean-Phillipe Henri is still trying to get his team together, and they will try to rally up some points.

"Our goal now is to score points at the least," Henri said.

"We now need to face the fact that we will have to fight very hard to have any shot at meeting our goals, and the team's self esteem is dropping quickly. This may make our chances harder if they do not perform at their best."

The next Rejectrucks Super Series race will be held at Kawartha Speedway in Canada, where the Henri team is now under severe pressure from Jean-Phillipe and their sponsors.

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 31 Oct 2013, 21:54

Probably going to run race 4 sometime this weekend, so make sure all driver changes and the like are in, otherwise the corresponding trucks won't be on the grid for Kawartha.

Ryan Knittefeld was injured during an IFRC event and he'll be out for... well, awhile, so I'll need a replacement driver nominated by the team owner, or the #91 truck won't be on the grid for race 4.

Only 4 drivers have completed 100% of the laps after 3 races -- Dmitry Vitkin, Ernesto Raya, Julius Tsvangirai, and... :shock:

David Bloom.

Biscuit firm McVitie's were announced as an official sponsor of the Plus One Group today, with their logos scheduled to appear on all +1 cars across the categories. One place where branding will be prominent is the RejecTruck Super Series, where McVitie's brand Penguin chocolate will be displayed prominently on the #3 truck.

This co incides with the signing of British driver Sope Stever for the #3. Sope is the son of Hope Stever, one of a handful of women to attempt to qualify for a Formula One event in the 20th Century.

There isn't, but you can kind of... just pop in for a few races if there's pitlane space/you want to do one off appearances...

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 20 Nov 2013, 23:59

Just a heads-up, but if anyone wants an extra truck/one off truck, use the entry form, and I'll let you know if I let you in. Keep in mind that I will play favorites towards users who do not have a truck in the field yet, and some tracks may not have enough space in the pitlane.

Chicagoland and Spa I know can take a full field of 42, not sure about the rest though.

I will try and run the next race this weekend, little things like classwork and looking for a job have really caught up to me. ;(

ROTR to The Weirdish Aliens Infecting NR2003 :lol:

I mean, Sope Stever is even more of an enigma, and Delvecchio had just the weirdest crash ever.

Finally my team gets somewhere, even if it's only 11th and the second truck a lap down. So close, what if someone else fell under the shenanigans? I'd be celebrating hard! And Jean-Phillipe, for that matter, although he is notorious for a vodka spree in such cases if we actually got a point.

Besides the point, my loyal driver Jukka-Pekka Kankaanpää gave the following interview:

Jukka-Pekka Kankaanpää wrote:Gosh, today was a hard day. I'm uh... happy just to finish. And 11th! I mean... Man, so close! Again, we're about 3-4 tenths off pace of the leaders in qualy trim, but that cost us about 17 places. Avoiding trouble was another problem that we had at Walt Disney as being in the back really helps. But all in all, I'm willing to fight at the back, even if it's bad when you're battling with David Bloom, which I don't see why our lead commentator thinks that's so bad. He's already got points when HRT don't! We'll go into the next race focused knowing we've got our best result to date.

Having discovered things in the series he'd rather not see, the Mad Uncle got onto the phone with one Pierre Depault, and the two had a massive argument over whether they should sue Beardy Branson and Henri Racing Technology over alleged breach of contracts concerning the Virgin Group. Rather than have a lawsuit on his hands, Depault decided to wire $2 million to Horizion Motorsport and told the Mad Uncle to basically do whatever the hell he wanted with it, with one goal in mind - make HRT pay.
