Grand Prix Rejects

F1RWRS should have a title sponsor.
GP2 is overused.

GP2 is used by like two bloody series and it's an extremely justified choice given as editing it requires neither graphical skills nor an M.A..

F1RWRS
F1RDS
F1RNC
F1RGP2C

Well, it's the only one I can really use that my laptop doesn't struggle to run. I originally wanted to use GP3, but a) only has 11 teams and b) doesn't run on Win7.

GP4 is a bitch to edit, and I don't have anything like F1C or rFactor. So I think my choice is justified.

If anything needs a title sponsor, then Lavezzi, EnerG and V-Tel are interested

Anyone up for some slightly suspicious investment solutions?

I can definitely imagine Uenoclinic being some dodgy Japanese pharmacy company...

You will not believe this - scroll to, or find, Ueno Clinic.

I had originally assumed Uenoclinic was a reference to an F1R spam I'd simply forgotten about (we get so much of it, you know). I didn't realise it was actually real. And I was almost there! I just thought they were selling pills rather than surgery for the item mentioned in the article...

Akrotiri Bay should host another race.

Currently,it has a spot on the F1RSTC calendar,but that's about it.

And subject us to another round torture through sheer boredom and mediocrity? You evil, evil man!

There should be more races at Jacarepaguá.

Well, Interlagos was heading off the rFAF1 calendar anyway, and now you've given me a replacement idea.

Unforunately the reason it's somewhat lambasted by a few people here is because of the GP2 track. Pitlane entry is bugged. All the drivers turn into Maldonado whenever they need new tyres. There are usually not enough finishers to even fill the podium. But, I like that sort of chaos myself.

LGPS 1991 Brazilian GP at Jacarepagua had four finishers. And in my abandoned F1 career for Sophie Fabron, only two AI drivers finished besides me in a full-length race. So this "feature" is available in F1C as well. And we all know how closely rFactor is related to F1C...

My aborted '86 season had just 3 finishers, it was mad.

I would love to see the Manx TT circuit (all 37.73 miles of it) used for one of the series that Foxdale/West Cliff compete in...

...which reminds me, I must go for a 37.73 mile drive sometime soon!

Oh, I just remembered, there's a version of the Manx TT course available for NR2003...

It's scaled down to about a third of the size though and my attempt at an A1 Grand Prix there resulted in most of the field progressively wiping themselves out before the end of the first lap.

It also exist for F1C in scaled-down form - 24.7 kilometres to be precise. I guess simulators (or more appropriately, most PCs) simply can't handle extremely long tracks.

Oh. So that's why.

If you can get me realistic times for a LMP1 and GT300 car I may be able to include it in SARS.

The Nordschleife exists for NR2003 as well as a 50+ mile highway course.

The Nordschliefe is 14 miles. Manx TT is 37 miles. Which admittedly is less than 50+ miles...

F3RWRS should be a series using a single-made chassis and one, maybe two, engines.

Maybe a couple of chassis and a couple of engines, maybe famous F3 brands like Ralt, Reynard, Dallara and March with engines by Toyota (TOMS), Honda (Mugen), Opel (Spiess), Mercedes, Fiat and VW.

Someone should hire Rick Mears for rFaF1.
I like Audi in rFaF1.
Other than FMV's title win, Prost GP was as boring as Gillet.
1991 was a better Life GP season than 1992.

Dark77 wrote:1991 was a better Life GP season than 1992.

I have to agree with this. I'm afraid that all single-make series without any specific goal (as opposed to the RWRS feeder categories, which give experience towards F1RWRS) will reach their peak at some point, after which they start to lose their popularity. Also in LGPS, the upgrade system was rather hastily put together and it has started to show its flaws.

You might've noticed that I'm quite bored with LGPS myself. I'm only going to do the 1993 season because I don't want to leave a year's gap in the canon, and also because AxelP800 has already well planned to start his follow-up series from 1994.

Restov have been one of the top 5 teams so far this season in the rFaF1

None whatsoever

Seriously though, for a small team in their first season of F1, running a year old car, snapping at the heels of regular points scorers and not being strangers to the top 15 in qualifying is pretty impressive. If it weren't for our shocking reliability we'd have scored at least 5 points by my reckoning.

All because of future world champion Nicchi

Tristan Jung shouldn't have had his rejectlicense taken away.

Seconded. FREE JUNG!

The Rejectrucks race in Adelaide, despite the farcical events, was actually a good race. This is also from a disgruntled team owner

That is because Uenoclinic does some dodgy surgeries of the plastic variety.

You mean of the cosmetic variety?
