James Courtney agrees to do Le Mans and Adelaide, but declines for the rest of the season.


I was feeling like that was going to happen, anyway Elinor Yurko will do the Quali for the rest of the races with Adam Rees being in place for the other rounds where James Courtney isn't racing for us.

The Jones Racing entry is still missing a driver; you have entered Sammy Jones and Mike Vulcano so far.

Indeed, that's it. Same for the other people in the title.

-Jones needs a third driver
-Boxtel needs a third driver for #87
-Porsche needs several drivers to complete their lineup

If this is in reference to BOSS Automation, the team owner hasn't been present on the forum for several months now. I wouldn't mind running the Porsche team for one season before handing it over to someone else :)

Righto! I knew I'd signed someone from somewhere, and it turns out the chap in question is 18 year old Neste Oil-backed Finnish driver Juuso Mäki. The post in question is here: http://www.f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6546&start=440#p309987

Full details of the driver are in the posts immediately above (and after) that one. As he has no experience, but isn't a pay driver, I'm not sure whether he's bronze or silver.

I think I got handed the BOSS team, but yeah things are happening in my life and I've very little free time so you take control.

OK.

According to the wiki article, none of these drivers have been claimed, so don't blame me if it turns out someone already has them :P

Porsche Racing [GER]
#92
Marc Lieb (GER) [P]
Romain Dumas (FRA) [P]
Tristan Jung (USA) [G]

#93
Timo Bernhard (GER) [P]
Jörg Bergmeister (GER) [P]
John Bovy (GRA) [G]


Bovy and Jung moving to Porsche means there will be some alterations to the Trueba entry. I'll do these later once I've been able to acquire some replacement drivers. Gio Roda stays where he is, but the other two will be TBA...

Ammermueller and von Hegel will be the qualifying drivers for their cars for the foreseeable future.

Career ending being F1 Career. You act like we don't know, or remember this.

Also, learn to spell Kobayashi right. Idiot.

OK, so for a fictional universe to work, we need one or two people to know it inside-out. But it doesn't require EVERYBODY to dedicate their lives to it, does it? :roll:

Or am I just not taking this forum seriously enough? :?

For reasons that only BBC London will ever know, the Porsche 991 that the Top Gear presenters were supposed to use has been withdrawn. Instead, the #84 ABR entry will run a 2016-spec Ferrari 458 for their two races

Due to Bourdais still being a competetive Formula 1 driver, Klon and I agreed that he should remain in F1 for 2017, as he is unlikely to turn down an F1 offer for an LMP1-L seat. V8Fan12, if that is ok for you, you are allowed to create a fictional driver with a platinum rating to replace Bourdais.

pi, I know this is a bit 11th hour, but would it be alright with you if I ret-conned my team to be run under the Al Smith Racing Enterprises banner instead of Equipe Gauthier?
