Grand Prix Rejects

Meanwhile we still have no idea whether Gabby is male or female.
I was happy to see a picture posted to the r-r page he/she has... Still don't know. Look:Gabby

Racing 1964 in F1C, Bob Anderson is leading the points at halfway, after a 2nd in a wreck-filled Monaco GP, a win having held up AI drivers from a flukey pole in Zandvoort, a legit 6th in Spa and a rain gamble win in Brands. Edit: Well, I got immersed in it and finished the season already... it turn...

Rabbi Gordon

Hm, why not?
Driver: Harrold Wayne Kerr, a newcomer using daddy's casino money to buy sheet metal. A lot of it.
Car: Dodge, Harrah's sponsorship. This one actually. A real reject ride IRL.
I suggest taking a look at this video for tracks if you don't have these already. Bone crusher is a must.

Although not F1, I hope it is passable. How about this man and his cars? ...King Hiro! http://ims.cdn.racersites.com/prod/photos/288149/FULL.jpg Simple, classy design, great choice of colors. http://www.fototime.com/782FE75912BE4117AF2D078EFC69F009/standard.jpg Eye-catching car.

Meh. There are far more deserving drivers out there than Hildebrand - drivers that, given an opportunity to win the Indy 500, would not stuff it into the wall at the last possible moment. I'll be interested in seeing your list of free agents better around the Speedway than Hildebrand Ryan Briscoe, ...

Zonta, apparently having learned from Villeneuve wrecked Fogaca on a straight. Well, in Brazil, they do say that all the craziest people come from Paraná. I'm sure he thought he was perfectly justified in doing so after Fogaca ran him into the fence on the exit of T2! Surely it's only a matter of t...

2nd round was held at the Ribeirão Preto Street Circuit. It was a doubleheader. Narrow track with plenty of rain before the race, but most drivers managed to keep it out of the wall in the changing conditions. In the first race there was a good fight between Bueno and Wilson for the lead. Wilson eve...

So apparently Robert De Niro is playing the Old Man himself in an upcoming Ferrari biopic . And apparently Clint Eastwood has been approached to direct. I'm keeping my eye on this one. Dayum... That is some promising stuff. Away from racing movies, is anyone interested in Child 44? The book was gri...

Rabbi Gordon

I wonder how Salo looks back on the '99 German GP? Leading a race for possibly his only win and having to move over for Irvine to score max points for a championship he didn't win anyway... in a Ferrari!! Regret springs to mind. He gets my 'big hug if I ever meet him' vote. AFAIK, he considers hims...

One of the best temper tantrums ever. lel

A candidate for most rejectful pitstop of all time. Just recently watched that race myself. The last lap is even more rejectful... but it's ARCA, so no surprise. The driver doing that stop is Lyndon Amick, certified wreck magnet. He seriously had something go wrong almost every week in his NASCAR c...

Rabbi Gordon

Dale Coyne has come out and said that Francesco Dracone's appearances with the team fill a gap for the first 4 races because the team already has got another driver lined up to drive for them in May, and that around next week, the other driver and the sponsor will be announced. It won't be Justin W...

Rabbi Gordon

This extremely fragile bodywork is an issue needing to be taken care of.
If street courses are combined with this, there won't be much racing once drivers get used to the new cars.

But it is refreshing to finally see Newgarden have a competitive pit crew.

Rabbi Gordon

Lauda had some good teammates as a pay driver.

Especially the 1972 March lineup: Peterson-Lauda.
Bet no-one would have thought that Lauda will be more successful than Ronnie.

Rabbi Gordon

A large grip update and a statuette of Adrian Newey to save Leyton.

Rabbi Gordon

Yay, Cheever was on par with cars getting in the race. Go Eddie! 15th and 17th! Is that enough to elevate Life above the relegation spots? Must be. 3 teams have yet to get in a race. Currently, Coloni has a 16th in PQ, Leyton has just got its best result with 10th in PQ and also, there is Osella wit...

Rabbi Gordon

YAY!
Great job bringing all this back. Huge thanks to everyone involved in the works.

Rabbi Gordon

Prost did actually unveil their 2002 car for Mazzacane.

It was. I just didn't add it to the entry list yet. You need to nominate a nationality for your driver Krohn. My guess would have been Norwegian, but it's not for me to say...

Oh, thanks then.
And yes, Krohn retains his Norwegian license.

and also #23 please

I second that.

Probably Liechtenstein has something to do with the great empire that was Austria-Hungary. I know we all want the promised land involved in this, but it actually is from the times of the Holy Roman Empire. Which is just as epic, imo. So you're saying that the Holy Roman Empire had access to hologra...

And as AutoGP does not qualify a driver for this series, the only eligible driver is going to be used.

More and more people start to recognize that she is just a PR juggernaut, including her opponents. My favorite was David Gilliland telling her to "Shut up and race.", while later remarking that if she has the luxury of several cars at her disposal in every race, she should not be racing p...

Well, the two in NASCAR are a lot different than F1. We all know how mediocre Danica is. This year, Casey Mears beat her in the standings, with one tenth of the budget Danica has. She is not just a whiner, but also very delusional. Instead of focusing on improvement on a race-by-race basis, like 30t...

Cant see the BTCC heading to Macau. Not all the teams would travel to Macau due to the cost and the high chance of damage and a hefty repair bill, so what will it be some BTCC cars and some Local teams running elderly S2000 cars Apparently the Macau organizers have offered to cover all travel costs...

Absolute newcomer team Archer Competition is looking to fill the 20th spot in the series. We are a Canadian based team, based in Winnipeg, MB, with very little experience, but big ambitions. To give our fledgling operation a kick-start, experienced and talented driver Anders Krohn is signed to drive...

Please God Gow, be open minded enough to let this happen!

The best thing I've heard this week. Even though it is just an idea of a race.
Bathplug qatar and their artificial sports events.

I tend to forget about Bouillon being an F1 driver at all, not to mention that he isn't even a reject.

Also Naoki Hattori.

I know Hakkinen had spent 3 years out of the sport, but he was still alright in DTM in 2005... In fact in 2005 he was fifth in the DTM standings. Any top 10 DTM driver should roflstomp the WTCC field on any given year. Er... Farfus's example says that this might be a bit far-fetched. Although I do ...

Rabbi Gordon

We are delighted to have Roberto qualify the brand new Accord as the only Honda on the track. We believe he could have qualified in the top 10, had he not forgotten a slice of Neapolitan pizza in his car, the smell kept him distracted and in Lesmo, wondering about the opening hours of Gino's Pizzer...

Rabbi Gordon

Neat! So... Can I drop my engine supplier, pay the difference of 1 million and sign up with Ford? They can supply anyone with the HB 3.5, so it is nothing big. If yes, then bye-bye Ilmor, welcome Ford and a GRIP upgrade please, large. (Is it 1 million or 2 millions?) As for drivers, I'd like to drop...

Leyton House is free and hopeless, right?
If so, I'd like to save their lousy asses.

My little country used to have an almost invincible 11... 60 years ago.
Now we have this.
Paks is a team I regularly used to watch, as they represent the county I hail from.

For more rejectdom, just look around that channel. It will hurt after a while.

Anyone knows what is the last one? 1985 Minardi Motori Moderni (M185) 1986 Minardi Motori Moderni (M186) Maybe you didn't miss one after all? Which is the one you can't identify?

For me nothing rejectful beats the Pacific PR02 These come close though: http://globoesporte.globo.com/platb/files/148/2008/08/quegpeesse52.jpg Don't know why, but I loved that green-blue Larrousse livery. http://www.laberezina.com/images/2014/Voitures/Maki-Engineering-F101-02.jpg As good it looks, ...

Fortunate man, gotta' say I dig his collection a lot. He missed the best-looking one though. (M193's simplicity, anyone?) Reject gold moment is Mr. Minardi saying he didn't think there was a working Motori Moderni anywhere in the world. So, 10 of the 11 cars are a PS04B, a PS02, a PS01, M02, M01, an...
