Grand Prix Rejects

Where is Donkey Kong? https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/cb3371db-5382-4eb9-a3bc-df320d5d1f37/dc5pz8p-0e6a8d3d-1e87-4f8d-9cc0-b3af9513b658.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZT...

Sonic's Age Confirmed with New Birth Certificate Initial reports had come out that Save Our Paras - Mario had signed a driver who was too young. Sonic T. Hedgehog, a Christmas Islander, was initially reported to have been born in 1991 and would be too young at the age of 17 to participate in Mario ...

Daisy von Sarasaland returns to the grid for Equipe Luigier, the team she co-owned when it was called SSL. After almost two years of racing hiatus, she drove in Formula Power Flower last year with a victory, and is now planning to jump right back into her old team the moment they have got good agai...

This comment will likely age poorly, but from my own experience of seeing these kinds of situations play out, it seems like more often than not that the result is determined in the first day or two. In this case, management and the Red Bull powers-that-be haven't removed Horner, so I really doubt th...

Yeah it would have to be Lance Stroll. Bumped off and it wasn't his fault, and gave a bad-strategy Alonso a run for his money.

Otherwise, there was obviously lots of other candidates. I just don't remember any of them.

"What year is it?" : as the first race back from the holidays, I had a distinct feeling from this whole race that it's still 2023 and the previous season hasn't really ended yet. Max winning by a country mile, the rest of the frontrunners floundering around a bit. AND to top it all off, t...

Hulkenberg and Magnussen the most interesting to me, considering just how much better in quali Nico ended up being than Kevin the whole year round. It seemed like the German just had something in the bag and almost a permanent advantage (at least that's how I remember it). For him to be 7th overall ...

2007 Mario Kart Awards Season The Terminal Lucidity award is given to Wiz Pig , who right before his imposed retirement, somehow qualified for the most difficult race of the year at Rainbow Road The Sophomore Slump award is given to Robert O. Buddy , who went from Rookie of the Year in 2006 to poin...

2007 Mario Invitational Championship Pandemonium occurred already in the first race of Mario's accursed championship this year. After a lights-to-flag victory at Donut Plains, he roared into the championship lead ahead of former proteges Kat & Ana. His own son, meanwhile, span off at the last c...

Mario Kart Special Cup Koopra Sport were the only team to test between Cups, and it did them no good whatsoever. Dixie Kong took her (sort-of) fourth consecutive victory at Mushroom Bridge, and then won again at Wario Stadium to take the championship. Four+one consecutive wins is unheard of in Mari...

The 2024 "Bahrain Grand Prix whose only interesting facet of historical note will be the fact that it was on a pre-Ramadan Saturday schedule" Bahrain Grand Prix , a.k.a. The 2024 "What Year? Every Year" Bahrain Grand Prix 1. Sergio Perez 2. Charles Leclerc 3. Fernando Alonso (an...

Murray Walker and Jackie Stewart in their respective commentary teams referring to every driver as "young" before their name. In late 1987, JYS is calling Rene Arnoux "the young Frenchman", despite Arnoux being 39 years old with ten years experience in the championship!

It was removed at the request of the author a few years back, who isn't happy with the quality of the profile.

Mark Wiggler signs for Red Bowser! That's right! The Australian winner of the 2007 Formula Power Flower championship has been snapped up by Red Bowser to pilot one of their cars in 2008 on a 1+1 deal. It is unknown as of yet whether the team are going to drop: - the overpaid defending world champio...

Mario Kart Rounds 10-12 There was one clear dominator for the rest of the Star Cup. When the meme Grand Prix of Bahrain was over and the dust had settled, Dixie Kong set herself into an excellent rhythm to take three consecutive victories. Her teammate Toad had held the upper hand all qualifying, u...

FPF Rounds 7-8 Mushroom Bridge saw the surprise comeback from Wario Jumpman to cameo! He finished fourth with fastest lap this time, but still a good showing. There were almost no incidents or retirements here, and Mark Wiggler took second place from pole to shoot himself up to the championship lea...

FPF Rounds 4-6 As we move into the autumn, the junior series gets ever more exciting. For the Frappe Snowland round, Yoshi substituted his new apprentice Yellowsaurus in place of two-time world champion Dixie Kong. Dixie is probably too valuable to her manager to be allowed off the leash that easil...

Round 9 - Bahrain The hottest time of the year saw us race at Bahrain for the second time in Mario Kart history, after a 15-year break. Lemmy Koopa finally broke his qualifying duck and took his maiden pole. However, the race being run to 10 laps absolutely destroyed the drivers', meaning that pit ...

Mid-Season Events While the talk of the town is all about the upcoming football match being organised among Mario Kart's top brass, we can now look back on the summer month's racing and testing events. Firstly, there was a testing session reserved only for DPRK, as they were the only team to do upg...

Round 8 Shroom Ridge was a little bit of a move back to normality. Wiz Pig and Penny Crygor failed to qualify, and Toad dominated the whole weekend. After many races struggling behind Dixie, in this race he came into his own and at least showed some promise that he might still challenge for the tit...

Rounds 6 and 7 There was a big turnaround in fortunes for two of the major teams in these next rounds. Koopra Sport and Equipe Luigier finally got their act together and started competing properly and without incident. Of the two Luigier drivers, it was Luigi himself who was able to take a solid po...

Testing, NC Races and Round 5 Testing was a quiet affair, with Luigier, RBR, DPRK, and Mitsuyoshi the only teams to turn up and try to improve their machinery. Around Moo Moo Farm Luigier both ended up crashing out or their karts failed early on in the session, so one wonders what information they ...

Rounds 3 and 4 The early steamrolling by Mitsuyoshi died away quite significantly in the latter half of the Mushroom Cup. When just about every major player had crashes on a wild Saturday qualifying day, Bowser Jr. took pole and won a very close race ahead of Conker T. Squirrel, who took all the pl...

Pre-Season Testing and Opening Rounds Two pre-season tests took place this year, with Koopra Sport and Koopra Kids barely making it between them. The first, at Mario Circuit , saw Lemmy Koopa take an excellent fastst position, with the Mitsuyoshis and Luigiers directly behind. Even the Koopra Kids ...

Koopra Kids changes to new owners After a last-minute ditch to rehab, Iggy Koopa has surrendered his ownership of the KK team to the highest bidder , who in this instance was Chunky Kong . With sponsors and drivers all in place for 2007, Chunky has partly renamed the constructor to Koopra Kids Kong...

He's hard to judge definitely. He had something this year that he hasn't had since probably 2017 or so, which is an end-of-season slump. Russell had his best weekend while Hamilton missed Q3 two weekends in a row. This is something Hamilton used to do pretty often around 2013-2017 or so and somethin...

Pipsy Astromouse moves to KBM! Among the many strange line-up changes for the coming season, one of the strangest has just come out that Pipsy Astromouse , 2005 Mario Kart world champion, has signed for King Boo Motorsports with an exclusive #1 positioning at the team. Her teammate will be Goombell...

Signing News So who else has been signed up? Bowser Jr. has been retained at Red Bowser. Peach Toadstool stays another year at DPRK, with last year's new talent Lemmy Koopa taking Banjo-Kazooie's place. At Mitsuyoshi, Dixie Kong will drive an 11th season with the team, while Toad Toadstool will joi...

A short (long) delay in getting this up, but here we are. Seven candidates to vote for in 2023's Reject of the Year competition. After animated internal debate, the mods have decided not to include Sergio Perez in the ballot, and have turned the "Formula 1 in general" option into the "...

Banjo-Kazooie leaves DPRK for RBR! For the first time in Mario Kart history, the world champion has left their team and taken the #1 elsewhere. Banjo-Kazooie have decided that their long-term future lies not in DPRK but in the established Red Bowser Racing team. We understand that the 38-year-olds ...

https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*-LAl8G3dqxfHHokOyoCwEg.png The duo from Spiral Mountain took the world title last year, and with it also started a side project as successful musicians! There is no stopping the geopolitical entertainment juggernaut that is alt-Mario Kart. 2007 marks the...

Awards Season Reject of the Year award goes immediately to King Boo. Boo was the overseer of planned safety reforms that never materialised. Following the deaths of Dribble & Spitz in 2005, his young driver Eitin Boruto also died this season. Both in-race deaths in Mario Kart have been in King ...

Banjo-Kazooie win the 2006 Mario Kart Championship! After they put themselves in the best possible position after Wario Stadium, it was still close running after Peach Gardens. Banjo's second place extended his lead over Dixie, but Dixie was still clearly very fast. Peach had only managed 6th and l...

Mario Mario wins Mario Invitational Championship! Indeed it was a glorious endeavour. After the first round, Mario Mario continued his awesome run of success with another two lights to flag victories from pole. It was only at Hot Top Volcano where he was bested and beaten. After crashing out and na...

Mario Kart - Round 13 (Wario Stadium) Wario Stadium, the fourth-last race of the year, was not a particularly exciting event overall. We had our fourth consecutive pole position winner since Round 10, and this time it was Banjo-Kazooie. It was a much-needed win for a driver who has been quite up an...

In-Season NC race and news on Donkey Kong Only three teams turned up to the race at Yoshi Circuit, which happened at the same time as the FPF finale. Project Mario, KBM, and Birdette. All three teams go into the end of the season totally broke, so the money earned from winning the race would do wel...

Yoshi's Killer Revealed! In an absolutely shocking turn of events, this magazine has obtained an exclusive anonymous tip about the true killer of Yoshisaur T. Munchakoopas back in 1995. Having secretly recorded a conversation between the two of them from a few years ago, Donkey Kong has been record...

FPF Season Finished Waluigi took pole at Mushroom Bridge, only to be swamped off the line by Candy Kong. Candy led the race quite convincingly, while Ludwig took second place after jumping the shortcut. Some retirements down the order, but it was when Candy's kart failed that Toadette overtook Walu...
