Rejects Franchise

[IntegratorTypeR]

Have you guys ever thought of franchising out the Rejects format to other racing series, MotoGP for example? A MotoGP Rejects website would be interesting to see come together.

[Bort]

I'm pretty sure the guys don't have the word 'Rejects' copywritten or trademarked, so there is no real way they can franchise it out (unless they find a sucker with more money than sense).
You should start it up yourself.

Michael Schumacher would then be joining the likes of Ratankul Prutirat and Vanina Ickx as a DTM Reject.

@Enoch: the term F1 isn't protected, is it?

"Formula 1" is protected, I believe, but I don't think F1 is. I could be wrong, but there are just too many different usages of the term "F1". Like F1 powerboats, or the F1 button on a keyboard.

If I had limitless time, I would be tempted to start a DTM Reject site just for the Michael Schumacher profile. Would Allen Berg get a profile there as well, alongside his F1 Rejects profile???

Or perhaps NASCAR Rejects? Because then we'd see Jacques Villeneuve, Christian Fittipaldi, and Roberto Guerrero (whose NASCAR career was very Kuwashima-esque) having profiles. Of course, this is taking all liberties and including all three of NASCAR's major tours!

Problems with the NASCARejects thing:

1. All of the American drivers will have the same life story

2. It's not nearly as cut and dried to figure out what would constitute a reject in NASCAR, because there's so many people in a race

3. NASCAR fans, by and large, can't read (I am an exception, but I'm not big on NASCAR anymore)

Doesn't driving in NASCAR make you a NASCAReject in the first place? NASCAR racing is the biggest oxymoron in sport. As Senna would have said, "You're not racing! You're driving like a idiot!"

I tell you what I'd LOVE to see ...

ATCC / V8 SUPERCAR REJECTS

Unfortunantely, even with the brilliance of the internet, information on little known Australian racing car drivers is still very limited.

No, Junior Fans, by and Large, emphasis on Large...Can't read...............



Like Mr. Law himself stated F1 isn't trademarked though FOM has TRIED several Times to try and trademark it and everytime were told there was no way you could do that.....

I say expand to include DTM, that way, there would be a Stoddart with a Profile....Just because Paul's not on here, doesn't mean his children can't be.....

Seriously, that's not necessary. Some people, including me, watch and enjoy both series.

On a less serious note, you'd definitely have to consider Nur Ali for any new site-he's already an A1GP reject, and likely approaching NASCAR reject status as well

[dr-baker]

A1 GP Rejects must be tempting - the Greek A1 GP team springs immediately to mind alongside the already-disappeared Korean team...

[LionZoo]

If we're to do another Reject site, we'd need something big. Something massive. Something so shocking it can run through a brick wall. We need TruckRacingRejects.com (tm)

Why not Superleague Formula Rejects as well? I'll admit, I was highly sceptical of the concept and thought it would just be another reject series like Premier1 that never got off the ground, but it is pretty good once you get used to the points being allocated to the cars and not the drivers, nations, or teams. The cars are fantastic with screaming 750hp V12s that sound incredible. Anyway even after one six-round season there were plenty of reject drives, namely Andy Soucek throwing away an easy win by spinning in the Jerez pit lane entry.

[Captain Hammer]

Or V8 Supercar Rejects; after today's race, Jack Perkins - the Nelson Piquet, Jnr. of Australian motorsport - would take another Reject of the Race for racing for postion whilst being a lap down and nearly taking out three of the top four cars in the process.
