Looks like GLB really needs the Venezuelan revolution to happen anytime now, because of our fuel shortages! Perhaps the Soviets can help us out for a while.

And another gearbox failure for Van Dycke, there must be something wrong with his driver stats (or is his car just rubbish?)

Forty five year old Tex Pearson (GBR) has been in touch with Wilson and the team having heard about the accident, and is in line for the drive whilst Wilson is out injured.

Wilson will miss three races, he'll will be fit in time for the Finnish GP.

Righto.

In line with Pearson bringing along some sponsorship for the car (yes, RubberTex is back!) I'm going to do two things:

First I'd like to buy the following upgrades:
3 qualifying and 3 race upgrades for Pearson, equalling 6000CHF
3 engine reliability upgrades for the car, equalling 1500CHF
1 reduction in the car's weight, equalling 2500CHF
1 engine torque upgrade equalling 1500CHF
Coming in at a total of 11,500CHF, leaving me with 65CHF as loose change!

Secondly, a livery update to reflect Pearson's RubberTex business, who will remain on board for the rest of the year.

It's just an update to the body Nuppiz, wings stay the same. Let me know if there's any problems!

By 1992 he'd already sold his share in the business back to Marshal Jenkins and founded his own RubberTex rubber manufacturing company, based in Hong Kong. He then kept RubberTex right up to 2011 when he bankrolled Sammy Jones' entry into the F1RWRS, becoming title sponsor of the RubberTex-Jones Racing Team. This was initially a three year deal but was reduced to two after the whole Mori/Jones Saga was too much bad PR for RubberTex. Pearson then sold RubberTex in 2014 for a tidy sum and now (2015/16) spends his days on a lilo in the caribbean sipping on cocktails and reminiscing about the "good old days" when porn was a profitable business! :lol:

Rafael Modena has been put under scrutiny following his dangerous maneuvre in the French GP. While we know his retirement was caused by a suspension failure, it wasn't such that would've justified him swerving into the path of Joe Gaera, who lost his front wing in the ensuing collision.

May I please look into this in the CAS?

Since IBR already gave a voluntary penalty to Modena, I don't think there's any reason to investigate it further.

Yeah, the PQ system is starting to show its flaws. I'll probably have something new set up for the second half of the season; the all-cars-qualify Swiss GP is conveniently right in the mddle so there's 9 GPs both before and after it.

I would like to join this Life GP Series, can I?

Team name: Caraxl (CAN)
Some businessmans in Canada love racing and want to create their own racing team. The problem is, F1 was to expensive. And they found this series. After watching the series since Brazil round, they agreed to create the team. Car has been painted just met expectations of some sponsors. Now it's just to find the driver.
WaffleCat, I would like to James Generic to drive with my team.
Car number will be 500

Livery: http://www.mediafire.com/?85ucsb9batyrv

I'll provide upgrades after Nuppiz confirm my entry

Following a shaky start to their Life GP season, Edward Restov has confirmed that his teams results aren't matching his, or title partner Gazprom's, expectations.

"For sure, we expected to be more competitive. We've only made it past pre-qualifying what, once? For a team as prestigous and professional as Gazprom Restov Racing, that simply isn't good enough. We need to have a good, long, hard look at the structure of the team, because the car is the same for everyone. If results don't pick up, neither Gazprom nor I could justify spending so much on a hopeless team for much longer, and we might have to take a look at withdrawing from the series."

OOC: Basically, I'm in so many series now that I can't keep up with them all now, so if its Ok with Nuppiz, could this team be passed on to whoever is first in line in the waiting list? I'll relinquish control of my drivers too.

Accepted, I know how hard it is to keep up with things if you participate in a lot of series so I fully understand how you feel. With no other applicants so far, Caraxl is accepted into the series; I'll test their livery soon.

Just in case if the Austrian GP would go shortly, I give the upgrades

For the car:
20x Engine reliability = 10000
2x Reduce overall drag = 2000
1x Torque = 1500
2x Power = 2000

For the driver:
4x Qualifying point = 4000
2x Start = 4000
4x Race performance = 4000
1x Wet weather skill = 1000
1x Overtake = 1250

So the sum is = 29750 CHF spent

Well I doubt WaffleCat is planning to use James Generic anymore, so I'll let you sign him. However, he comes with a salary requirement of 2,100 CHF, so you need to drop some of those upgrades to afford him. After his salary you have 27,900 CHF left to spend on upgrades, which isn't a bad deal at all because Generic already comes with some skills.

Here's how the livery looks like:

Then overall drag just 1 point, which means money I have will be 150CHF.

Err, still not good enough as you'd be spending 28,750 CHF on upgrades. You need to drop one more upgrade to afford everything.
