3.Luca Badoer vs 67.Luciano Burti
11-3, Badoer dispatches Burti fairly easily!
30.Hans Heyer vs 35.Bobby Unser
4-10 The American crowd have had great success in round 1.
14.Tora Takagi vs 51.Bernd Schneider
6-8 The only close match of the bracket and it is a shock win for Schneider!
19.Eric Van de Poele vs 46.Enrique Bernoldi
11-3, Eric very much has home advantage here in the forum that bares his name!
6.Jean Denis Deletraz vs 59.Sakon Yamamoto
3-11. Yamamoto manages to blitz another vote, this time against perhaps the most infamous of rejects!
27.Scott Speed vs 38.Andrei Montermini
4-10, not sure if the margin is more down to Montermini being loved, or Speed being hated.
11.Perry McCarthy vs 75.Allan McNish
3-11, Two legends enter, one leaves.
22.Aj Foyt vs 43.Jerome d'Ambrosio
11-3, Being Belgium wasn't enough for Jerome.

That concludes round 1.

We have determined that the successful drivers from round 1 are good enough drivers to get the most from the car and bring it home, another crucial point for drivers in this day and age is they need to be marketable, the topic for round 2 is Memorability or even perhaps notoriety! Whether it be a never give up do or die mentality, ridiculous bragging or just simple persistence, vote for the driver you remember fondest!

Round 2, Block 1 "Zanardi block"

1.Alex Zanardi vs 32.Naoki Hattori

16.Piercarlo Ghinzani vs 17.Tommy Byrne

8.Sebastian Bourdais vs 40.Huub Rothengatter

9.Johnny Claes vs 24.Lella Lombardi

-----------------------------------
I will also soon be running a "Greatest Reject Nation Tournament" where teams of 3 drivers take part to represent their nations. That is if there is interest in it of course!
I am taking applications for nations that wish to enter, should you wish to enter you will need to select 3 drivers for your country. Drivers that are eligible for this tournament must be officially F1 Rejects (as in attempting to enter at least 1 World Championship Grand Prix and never passing the criteria to unrejectify themselves) and most not have raced in the 2013 Formula 1 season.

Once Team owners have picked their 3 drivers, they will be responsible for determining the order of the 3 when they get drawn against their opponents, in what will be a best of 3 match.

If multiple people want to use the same nation, I will allow A and B teams, E.G Italy A, Italy B. I am willing to be flexible with what counts as a nation, so should you wish to run a Team England or a Team UK or even a Team Scandanavia I will allow it if it is justifiable. Note, whilst teams are flexible and can overlap, drivers can not, a driver can only represent one team, so make sure you bag your favorites early.

If you are interested please fill out this template.

Nation:
Driver 1:
Driver 2:
Driver 3:

Alex Zanardi - It's Alex goddamn Zanardi.
Piercarlo Ghinzani - Tommy Byrne may be the greater talent, but Ghinzani's plodding along with Osella for all those years is far more memorable.
Sebastien Bourdais - As a big fan of Bourdais, this one's no contest :P
Lella Lombardi - The only woman to score World Championship points vs. a guy who ran last a hell of a lot back in the 50's. Yeah, I'm going with Lella here.

Zanardi - no contest really. Great years in CART, then the accident, recovery and paralympic gold
Ghinzani - Osella legend
Bourdais - Champ Car titles make him notable one
Lombardi - Claes is a legend here thanks to laps spent in last place but Lombardi as the only female driver to score points is easy choice.

Since Finland does have only two rejects who fit the bill, I would like to run Nordic team, with one driver from Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

1.Alex Zanardi vs 32.Naoki Hattori
It's not really a contest in terms of memorability.

16.Piercarlo Ghinzani vs 17.Tommy Byrne
I'm going to go with Tommy, for his nationality, his explosiveness, and his performance at the dead letter of a McLaren test.

8.Sebastian Bourdais vs 40.Huub Rothengatter
I'll have to side with the Champ Car title ahead of being called the God of Rats by Lauda.

9.Johnny Claes vs 24.Lella Lombardi
Being the only woman to score a (half) point in the WDC makes Lombardi more memorable.

Reject Nation Tournament.

Nation: Republic of Ireland A - (In case Shinji wants a look in, although I doubt there are enough drivers for a B)
Driver 1: Tommy Byrne
Driver 2: Dave Kennedy
Driver 3: Joe Kelly

And no, I didn't forget Firman, I just decided to go with a curveball on Joe Kelly.

Yeah, but with Italian rejects, we could go all the way to Z, and still not have enough teams to host them all :roll:

Zanardi: An utter legend. That pass at Laguna Seca, Lausitz 2001, London 2012 ect
Byrne: I've read countless articles on him. Seemed like a huge talent that never got he big break he deserved. Reminded me of an Irish James Hunt.
Bourdais: The dominance in ChampCar, the awful bad-luck in 2008, crying after Spa.
Lombardi: A women who scored a (half) point. A hero amongst many.

My team:
ITALY A:
1. Alessandro 'Alex' Zanardi
2. Vitantonio Liuzzi
3. Luca Badoer

1.Alex Zanardi vs 32.Naoki Hattori
Zanardi is an absolute hero. Hattori is famous for binning it in a Formula Nippon showdown.

16.Piercarlo Ghinzani vs 17.Tommy Byrne
Outspoken, a talent who just missed out on a great career, and above all Irish.

8.Sebastian Bourdais vs 40.Huub Rothengatter
A bit of an enigma. F3000 champ, went to the US and built up a great rep and then had the misfortune of having Vettel as a teammate.

9.Johnny Claes vs 24.Lella Lombardi
She has a record that no one can take from her.


And for the Nations tournament, I will manage...Team Argentina!

Bourdais, I will choose an CART or IndyCar Champion every time when the points record is equal.

Top Lella! Lombardi for the win!

A true Indy 500 superteam with eight Indianapolis 500 wins from 1961 to 1986 which was the golden age given the likes of Mario Andretti, a F1 champion, and others who I can't use such as Al Unser who didn't compete in F1. Foyt also won LeMans in 1965 and the 1972 Daytona 500.

For the Reject Nation Tournament, would Al Pease count as being from Canada or England? On his wiki page, it says he was born in England, but everything else says he has a Canadian nationality. I'd assume he'd be known as Canadian as most people refer to him as Canadian.

There's so many English rejects, so i think you'd best refer to him as Canadian.

yeah, that vote ended a LONG time ago.

Now I will close the active vote:

1.Alex Zanardi vs 32.Naoki Hattori
11-0, short debate Murray

16.Piercarlo Ghinzani vs 17.Tommy Byrne
6-5, a very close duel, but Ghinzani's longevity in the Osella wins out against the short F1 career of Byrne.

8.Sebastian Bourdais vs 40.Huub Rothengatter
11-0, This was only ever going one way.

9.Johnny Claes vs 24.Lella Lombardi
1-10, Not even Claes's biggest fan can save him from the only female points scorer.

Italy A - Dr Baker

Now for the 2nd block of round 2.
Remember the theme of the round is notability, how well a driver is remembered for good or bad.

4.Taki Inoue vs 29.Antonio Pizzonia

77.Hideki Noda vs 45.Sebastian Buemi

69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis

12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek

Taki Inoue - If getting hit by a car at the Hungaroring wasn't notable enough, his Twitter exploits more than seal the deal over a failed junior series phenom who I rate below Jan Magnussen in terms of notability.
Sebastien Buemi - I rate the Alguersaurus higher, but Buemi was pretty good and did not deserve to be dumped by Toro Rosso
Passing on vote 3 because I don't really remember much of either driver.
Markus Winkelhock - Really. I mean really. The only way Winkelhock could lose was if he was against Zanardi or HWNSNBM.

Taki for being the reason I joined Twitter.
Buemi, for being a much better driver then he was able to show at STR
Maria, Cause shes the first ever Female Driver
Markus, as Salamander said no way hes being beaten apart from maybe Taki as well as Zanardi or HWNSNBM.

69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis
:roll: Of course that's how I'm gonna vote. ;)

12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek
Goes from last to first and leads by 30 seconds before the red flag; then from first to last and DNF after the red flag. Not bad for a one-off entry!

de Filippis (first female driver against a single crash...)

4.Taki Inoue vs 29.Antonio Pizzonia--Twitter Account+Rejectful Career+Official Safety Car Passenger Safety Test Dummy+Beer > Jaguar and Montoya replacement.

77.Hideki Noda vs 45.Sebastian Buemi--Both aren't truly notable, but I'll go with Buemi for actually doing something in F1. I think.

69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis--If my alternate GP4 thingy I run for my own entertainment counted, where Sarrazin races for McLaren,this would be his by a mile. BUT, it doesn't, Sarrazin just has that one crash, and the first female ever gets it.

12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek--Gregor Foitek injured Herbert,then did sod all in F1. Winklehock LED the most chaotic race of the century. You decide.

My picks for winners.

Inoue. Twitter legend
Buemi. Not that he's very notable, but Noda isn't either. Buemi led the race and had that Shanghai crash
de Filippis. Female driver is always notable.
Winkelhock. Led his only race.

4.Taki Inoue vs 29.Antonio Pizzonia
Probably THE most notable reject.

77.Hideki Noda vs 45.Sebastian Buemi
For having his wheels pop off of his car at 150mph and his stupid F1 car noise impression.

69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis
Despite his rally career, Sarrazin is pretty forgettable (I regularly think he raced a Prost, not a Minardi). Maria was a woman drove in F1's most dangerous era.

12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek
Foitek is notable for his bad reputation, but that's nothing on Winkelhock's heroics.

Now for the 2nd block of round 2.
Remember the theme of the round is notability, how well a driver is remembered for good or bad.

4.Taki Inoue vs 29.Antonio Pizzonia
In a round based on notability, it's hard to beat a twitter demon who managed to get run over by a safety car.

77.Hideki Noda vs 45.Sebastian Buemi
Mainly for that crash at Shanghai.

69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis
She was a woman in a male-dominated environment. 'Nuff said.

12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek
He drove for Spyker and he led every race he entered. Not many can say that now

Inoue - Not only is he a reject legend, but he is also a Twitter legend
Buemi - Shanghai 2010
De Filipis - First ever woman in F1
Winkelhock - Led his only ever Grand Prix, in a Spyker

14-0, Jungle Boy has nothing on Inoue!
77.Hideki Noda vs 45.Sebastian Buemi
3-11, Noda's surprising run comes to an end.
69.Stephane Sarrazin vs 28.Maria Teresa de Fillipis
0-13, First woman in F1 can't be beat.
12.Markus Winkelhock vs 21.Gregor Foitek
14-0, THAT one race wonder means it was always going to be game over for Foitek.

Ok so those votes were not so close!

Starting the round after next will be the team tournament. The team tournament will be played over a swiss system (google it if you don't know what that is) meaning every team will have the same amount of matches.

The first round will be:
Italy A vs Australia
Belgium vs Italy B
Nordic vs Argentina
Republic of Ireland vs Team America
Netherlands vs Canada.

So for team owners, please announce your running order (that is who goes 1st, 2nd, 3rd) along with your next round vote. (If not submitted it will be the default order you registered the team with.)

And here is the 3rd group of voting, remember the topic is memorability/notability.

2.HWNSNBM vs 34.Bobby Rahal

15.Shinji Nakano vs 47.Desiree Wilson

7.Gabriele Tarquini vs 39.Fabrizio Barbazza

10.Jaime Alguersuari vs 23.Ricardo Rosset
