Grand Prix Rejects

Before I post the results of the Brahma Valentine's Day Grand Prix of Brazil, a quick word about prize money: A win at the Indy 500: 250.000 $ A win at any other 500-mile race: 200.000 $ A win at a 400-mile race: 175.000 $ A win at a 300-mile race: 150.000 $ A win at a road race: 125.000 $ A win at ...

I am not pleased with the results of the qualifying. We still don't know where the problems with the car were, but we don't have much hopes for the race. As I have to admit, the other teams have a head start in the development of the car and especially the engine, largely because they decided to re...

Before the first training sessions of the year begin, here's the qualifying procedure: There will be two sessions. The race weekend's entry will be split in the middle. Say, we have 33 entries for a weekend. Therefore, 17 cars will qualify on the first session, with the remaining spots being filled ...

I just lost some respect for ESPN. ESPN was always good at getting rid off long-time announcers: Larry Nuber, Bob Varsha, Bob Jenkins, Paul Page, now Marty Reid. But I wonder why the Huffington Post reports it. Maybe because they hate NASCAR and/or everything associated with sports, so they feel li...

Oh no, oh Please No!. HOLY S**T NO!!!!!!! Enough is enough! I've had it with these bathplug' kids on this bathplug' Sergey Sirotkin-hatetrain! Everybody strap in, I'm about to deliver some arguments. Like: - If he's a good enough talent, why should he waste some years in feeder series? - It's just ...

Williams will focus on grip at Barcelona.

IndyCars test at Sebring as the season finally gets underway The long off-season for the IndyCar World Series is about to end. Before the first race in Brazil, the teams went testing at the Sebring International Raceway. As usual, the cars were testing on the southern chute of the track. 44 cars we...

Renntechnologie makes an enquiry towards Milan Sural and Jari Helvelahti.

Well, I'm almost done with gathering the necessary date for the 2016 IndyCar season. But one team hasn't gotten his data right. You guessed it, Klon has to give me the stats for Herbert Aston and for Mika Häkkinen and James Davies. EDIT: I also need ZimSport's skills. Other than that, I'm finished w...

EDIT: I would like to point out the GT300 Prius and CR-Z are both silhouette racers. Not much carries over from the road car as far as i know. Q.F.T.! The Prius has a 3.4l V6, if I'm not mistaken. It still has its hybrid, though. It's still badass to make a silhouette racing car based on a Toyota P...

People not dying > ovals People can also die at a road race. The relatively high number of oval deaths in the last years just come from the horribly-designed IRL cars. From the beginning of the IRL, the cars didn't have the ground effect of the CART IndyCars. To make up the lost ground effect, team...

AVB has apparently confirmed that the soap opera is over. Gareth Bale is going to Real Madrid for some insane transfer figure. How on earth can a footballer be worth that amount of expenditure? And considering that UEFA have announced the Financial Fair Play regulations, surely this somewhat make a...

My god, the UEFA Supercup match!

At least Chelsea didn't go plane-parking...until they led. Also, Petr Cech is an animal. Still, we finally got our vengeance for 2012

Renntechnologie votes for option a, but without any gimmicks suchs as reversed grids. As for the offroad races, we'll vote for option b.

So Milan sells Boateng to fund a signing of Kaka...morons, bathplugging morons! On the other hand, it could be the case that Boateng really didn't want to stick around any longer in Italy, where it seems to be common to greet African people with monkey chants. It's also good for the Bundesliga, even...

Ferrarist

I'll vote for my proposal, of course. We need to keep our financial balance in check. Also, a good series could race everywhere and still get a lot of exposure. Not to mention that we could also attract fans by racing at tracks they don't see everyday.

Ferrarist

I suggest using 2million for the series schedule. I'd also suggest an off-road triple crown, with special prize money for the winner of this triple crown. 1. Mantorp Park (Sweden) - 200k 2. Tykkimaki RX Circuit (Finland) - 150k 3. Nemuno Žiedas (Lithuania) - 200k 4. Circuit Poznan (Poland) - 300k 5....

Renntechnologie will order two cars. As for the tracks, we'd like to suggest: - Mallory Park (This is rarely used and thus should be cheaply available. We might want to cut a deal with the NIMBY brigade, though) - Bucharest Street Circuit (I don't like street circuits that much. But Bucharest has se...

Renntechnologie will vote like this:

1. Option b)
2. Option c)
3. Option d)

1: Silhouettes
2: GTC V8
3: Sportscar Challenge

Ferrarist

We at Renntechnologie are in favour of tube frame silhouette cars. While the GTC V8 rules sound pretty good, they may be a bit too expensive at the beginning. Tube frame cars on the other hand are relatively cheap to build and maintain. It should also ensure a close field and exciting racing (Provi...

First leg of the Bundesliga, and here are some notes: - Bayern won as usual, as they defeated Mönchengladbach 3-1. Gladbach fell victim to two penalties, which were awarded within seconds of each other! While Marc-André ter Stegen held the first penalty, he couldn't hold the second. Also, Dante fell...

Ferrarist

BMW sounds nice, but Renntechnologie is not in favour of a pure single-spec series. However, Castrol also rejects a semi-spec series, which goes a bit against our plans for this series (More on that later). MotorsTV doesn't reach out to too many household over Europe, although it'd be nice to have ...

Ferrarist

Exactly. Look at the early 90s, where the WSC guys tried to mix Group C and F1 by forcing everyone to use F1-esque engines. Didn't work. However, putting F1 engines in LMPs from 2014 on will work perfectly. Of course, F1 engines aren't mandatory but rather a choice, which is what they should have a...

Okay, I'll withdraw any sales offer of my vote. To be honest, it was only a half-serious attempt and I expected Shadaza to shut it down quickly. I just wanted to see if someone actually takes me offer, which, to my surprise, happened. Even though the bids were low, there were bids! So no more bribes...

Whoops, sorry for being late.

Williams will focus on top speed in Silverstone, while grip will be taken care of at Estoril.

Vote buying as an issue is now under review. For now Formula community has no formal stance on it. Though I would like to say it is disappointing to see money that could otherwise be invested in the business, being pocketed by individuals. First of all, let me state that Renntechnologie won't pocke...

Renntechnologie GmbH is torn between touring cars and open wheelers (And isn't satisfied about Europe being decided on as the primary base of this series!). So in order to get maximum benefits out of that decision, Renntechnologie chairman Ralf Schneider accepts "financial aids" or "s...

Ferrarist

I'd go for a series, where we could showcase the automaker's creations. Therefore, a touring car or GT series. Maybe even an endurance series with both classes. That way, we may have an easier time to get manufacturer backing.

Ferrarist

While we're at it, I'd like to suggest the following schedule: 1. Round of China #1 2. Round of Korea #1 3. Round of Japan #1 4. Round of China #2 5. Round of India 6. Round of Abu Dhabi 7. Round of Southern Europe 8. Round of Northern Europe 9. Round of China #3 10. Round of Korea #2 11. Round of J...

Renntechnologie GmbH feels that the series should have its base in Asia. The market for auto racing is growing fast, and profits could be huge if our series reaches something like mainstream status in Asia. That being said, we shouldn't neglect Europe at all. Our series should get two solid foundati...

It actually became an inside joke in 2000. While being commissioner, Ernest Miller threatened wrestlers to send them to jail, because someone in the office might pay them.

I've been spending some time watching some Vince Russo-era WCW, to get an idea of just how bad it was, when I stumbled across this. There was a lot of crap in WCW's dying days, but that advert and storyline absolutely takes the biscuit. I am now convinced Russo was on drugs when he booked WCW in 20...

I think that the Formula E can be successful, because they provide the first competitive ground for all-electric vehicles (Although I'd prefer competition between different alternate fuel concepts like Hydrogen, Autogas and such). They also seem to be willing to embrace F1-like car development over ...
