That is a perfect livery for K-Apex. I couldn't possibly improve on that.

Here's the Calsonic livery:
Now I just need to prepare talent files and fix the trackset a bit and the series should be ready to go! and I also need alg2159 to provide the Nakamura livery/ livery idea before I start (forgot about that one)

Essentially a '99-02 Arrows with the black and orange flipped then? I'll get right on it.
Also, what kind of sponsors do you want on it, if any?

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Nakamura Livery Needed
Here's the Nakamura livery (it's not quite an Arrows livery, but sort of a cross between it and the Spyker)
Now I just need to prepare the talent files and fix the trackset a bit and we should be ready to go (this should be done within the next fortnight)

Re: 2019 Asian F4
Just in case you're wondering when the first round of this series will be up, I hope to have the first round in exactly a week's time (as I have exams prior to this point), which should be achievable as all the files are now ready.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Okayama Up!
Here are the results from the opening two rounds of the championship at Okayama Circuit, Japan:
Quali-1:
Presley Martono took the first pole position of the season with K-Apex's Kwon Sung-Tae joining him on the front row. Takuma Toyoda and Kazuomi Endo failed to qualify for Round 1.
Race 1 (video here)
Martono kept the lead off the start, and held onto a slender advantage for the first five laps, before being caught and passed by Thatan Weerwatnodom and Go Gouriki and dropping to third. The Thai driver's hold onto the lead didn't last long however, as Gouriki, not helped by a loose wheel, careered into to back of him, taking both off the track and terminally damaging Weerwatnodom's suspension. Danial Nielsen Frost also managed to involve himself in the collision, going out of a point scoring position. This left Martono to cruise to victory, Sung-Tae too far back to challenge despite running very quickly towards the end of the race.
Quali-2:
After scoring solid points in Race 1, Zhou Xiouping found his footing in the Red Dragon car to take pole by a tenth of a second from the rapid Go Gouriki. Race 1 polesitter and winner Martono could only manage ninth, while Aspire Formula's Saeed Mizra and K-Apex's Choi Seul-Hae failed to qualify.
Race 2: (video here)
Xiouping got a decent start and led from lights to flag, showing utter dominance over the rest of the field; this was helped by the heavy attrition during the race, with Go Gouriki (with suspension failure), Presley Martono (due to an unforced off), Danial Nielsen Frost (with engine failure) and Satoshi Murakami (with an oil leak) all retiring from points postions, and Isyraf Danish also forced to pit with electrical issues early on. The winner's Red Dragon teammate, Xu Shiqing made a rather less impressive show of himself during the race, destroying his front wing into turn 1 and then spinning later into the lap, colliding with a queue of cars rejoining and damaging his car in the process.

8 Shiqing 4

=10 Danish 3
10 Weerwatnodom 3
12 Suzuki 2

With a combination of a Race 1 points and a dominant Race 2 performance, Xiouping takes the early championship lead, though with only a two point advantage over Ryunnosuke Takashi, who quietly scored well amongst the melee of both races, while showing impressive pace. Weewatnodom however will be lamenting what might have been, only having 3 points to show for his not-inconsiderable efforts over the weekend.
Drivers Under Investigation:
Go Gouriki (Causing a collision leading to a retirement, 5 penalty points)
Xu Shiqing (Causing a collision, unsafe rejoining to circuit, 6 penalty points overall)
The next race will be up in a fortnight, but in the meantime, feel free to sack drivers if you feel the need, or otherwise comment.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Sepang Up!
I know I'm a day late, but here are the results from the second weekend of the 2019 Asian F4 from Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia:
Quali-1:
Go Gouriki took his first points of the year with pole position for Round 3, with Kwon Sung-Tae joining him on the front row. Championship leader Xiouping was 5th and local drivers Gafar and Danish were 6th and 11th respectively. Kazuomi Endo and Takuma Toyoda failed to qualify.
Race 1 (video coming soon)
Gouriki kept the lead off the star, but was hounded by K-Apex's Kwon Sung-Tae, who had superior race pace, eventually making a successful move on the Japanese driver on Lap 17, taking his first win, with Presley Martono completing the podium with a decent but rather anonymous drive. There were battles throughout the field, with Danish and Takashi's a particularly good scrap. Misfortune befell the then-champioship leader Zhou Xiouping as he spun off halfway into the race out of 5th place, losing vital points, though worse luck befell Thatan Weerwatnodom, who retired with engine failure on the same lap, or Danial Nielsen Frost, who suffered throttle failure after a single lap- his third retirement in three races.
Quali-2:
Nielsen Frost was clearly aiming to rectify his lack of points then with a pole position for race 2 at Sepang, Gouriki alongside him. The Red Dragon drivers struggled in this session, with Xiouping only 10th and Shiqing only 16th. Endo and Toyoda both failed to make the grid for the second race in a row.
Race 2: (video coming soon)
Presley Martono jumped into the lead from fourth early to lead his teammate home for a safe one-two, becoming the year's first repeat winner as the competition floundered; Gouriki had poor race pace and dropped to sixth early on, while any hopes of Kwon Sung-Tae taking repeat victories was gone by the first lap due to engine failure. Instead, many people's eyes were on the lightning start made by Tsujimura Scuderia's SatoshI Murakami, having got from eighth to third by the first lap, and looking good to keep that position for half the race, though fading badly from then on, dropping to seventh, although managing to get points on the board.
Several drivers, such as Nhat and Raharjo were badly out of position during the race due to several spins into one corner on the course, dropping each right to the back as they clawed their way out of the gravel traps, and leaving them with ill-handling cars from the impact with the outside wall. But for bad luck this weekend, no one can beat Kei Suzuki; an engine failure this weekend put him out less than a lap into the race for a second race this weekend, having only the 9th place from Okayama to show for his efforts so far.
Driver's Championship Standings after Round 4:
1 Martono 42
2 Sung-Tae 33
3 Takashi 32
4 Xiaoping 30
5 Fujibayashi 26
6 Gouriki 19
7 Gafar 18
8 Nielsen Frost 14
9 Raharjo 12
10 Danish 11
11 Shiqing 7
=11 Yaname 7
13 Kano 4
=13 Murakami 4
15 Weerwatnodom 3
=15 Sekai 3
=15 Nhat 3
18 Suzuki 2
=18 Koizomi 2
With two good finishes, Calsonic's Presley Martono now has a substantial nine-point lead over Kwon Sung-Tae, who is only just ahead of the consistent Ryunnosuke Takashi, the only driver to score in all four rounds so far, although taking no wins so far. Go Gouriki, Danial Nielsen Frost, Satoshi Murakami, Sakura Sekai and Atsushi Koizumi now all have points on the board for 2019, while Thatan Weerwatnodom still languishes in 15th despite showing non-insignificant pace, the Thai driver suffering a serious shortage of luck
There were no significant incidents in the races over the weekend, all drivers being relatively clean and hence there are no penalties to be given out. In other news, due to change of allocation of spare time, the race reports will now be published on Sundays/Mondays (due to the lack of time which caused this one to be a day late).
Feel free to comment or sack drivers if you wish before the the Sentul rounds.

Gouriki kept the lead off the star, but was hounded by K-Apex's Kwon Sung-Tae, who had superior race pace, eventually making a successful move on the Japanese driver on Lap 17, taking his first win, with Presley Martono completing the podium with a decent but rather anonymous drive. There were battles throughout the field, with Danish and Takashi's a particularly good scrap. Misfortune befell the then-champioship leader Zhou Xiouping as he spun off halfway into the race out of 5th place, losing vital points, though worse luck befell Thatan Weerwatnodom, who retired with engine failure on the same lap, or Danial Nielsen Frost, who suffered throttle failure after a single lap- his third retirement in three races.

Nielsen Frost was clearly aiming to rectify his lack of points then with a pole position for race 2 at Sepang, Gouriki alongside him. The Red Dragon drivers struggled in this session, with Xiouping only 10th and Shiqing only 16th. Endo and Toyoda both failed to make the grid for the second race in a row.

Presley Martono jumped into the lead from fourth early to lead his teammate home for a safe one-two, becoming the year's first repeat winner as the competition floundered; Gouriki had poor race pace and dropped to sixth early on, while any hopes of Kwon Sung-Tae taking repeat victories was gone by the first lap due to engine failure. Instead, many people's eyes were on the lightning start made by Tsujimura Scuderia's SatoshI Murakami, having got from eighth to third by the first lap, and looking good to keep that position for half the race, though fading badly from then on, dropping to seventh, although managing to get points on the board.
Several drivers, such as Nhat and Raharjo were badly out of position during the race due to several spins into one corner on the course, dropping each right to the back as they clawed their way out of the gravel traps, and leaving them with ill-handling cars from the impact with the outside wall. But for bad luck this weekend, no one can beat Kei Suzuki; an engine failure this weekend put him out less than a lap into the race for a second race this weekend, having only the 9th place from Okayama to show for his efforts so far.

With two good finishes, Calsonic's Presley Martono now has a substantial nine-point lead over Kwon Sung-Tae, who is only just ahead of the consistent Ryunnosuke Takashi, the only driver to score in all four rounds so far, although taking no wins so far. Go Gouriki, Danial Nielsen Frost, Satoshi Murakami, Sakura Sekai and Atsushi Koizumi now all have points on the board for 2019, while Thatan Weerwatnodom still languishes in 15th despite showing non-insignificant pace, the Thai driver suffering a serious shortage of luck
There were no significant incidents in the races over the weekend, all drivers being relatively clean and hence there are no penalties to be given out. In other news, due to change of allocation of spare time, the race reports will now be published on Sundays/Mondays (due to the lack of time which caused this one to be a day late).
Feel free to comment or sack drivers if you wish before the the Sentul rounds.

OK, I'll run the RNG to see if she'll accept:
Hamda al Qubaisi:
1-60 Accepts, 61-100 Declines
Result:1, so the promising Emirati driver doesn't hestitate in joining Aspire Formula for the season.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Sentul Up!
Here are the results from Rounds 5 and 6 of the Asian F4 series from Sentul International Circuit in Indonesia:
Quali 1:
Go Gouriki took his second race 1 pole in a row ahead of Sepang race 1 winner Kwon Sung-Tae. Championship Presley Martono qualified third for his home race, (the highest of the Indonesians), while series newcomer Hamda al Qubaisi finished the session in a respectable 14th, five places ahead of her teammate. Tsujimura and Endo failed to qualify.
Race 1: (video here
Gouriki dominated the race, leading every lap and setting fastest lap, and scoring his first win this year, after several near misses. 'Mr Consistency' Ryunnosuke Takashi was in a distant second and Martono much further behind in third. Hamda al Qubaisi scored her and Aspire's first points this year with a measured drive to seventh. while the Red Dragon cars struggled; Xiouping got caught up in a battle for 12th with Suzuki, while Shiqing suffered engine failure early on while in a lowly position.
Quali-2:
Sung-Tae, after falling back in race 1, put the effort in to qualify on pole for race 2, with Zhou Xiouping also aiming to make amends for the previous day's performance in second. Local boy Martono was again third, but all eyes were on al Qubaisi's stunning fourth place on the grid in what is the Emirati driver's second race in a single seater. Elsewhere, Kosuke Setou had a poor run and failed to qualify for the first time this year, joining Takuma Toyoda on the sidelines.
Race 2: (video here
Sung-Tae and Xiouping battled for the lead initially, but soon Xiouping saw his chance and pulled away from the pack, taking his second victory and fastest lap of the season. Go Gouriki, on the other hand, suffered the race winner's curse (combined with his usual bad luck) and retired early on with engine failure- as of yet, no race winner has scored points in the next race after. Hamda al Qubaisi initially battled with Martono for fourth, which became third after Sung-Tae dropping back, and got the better of the Calsonic driver to find herself in an unbelievable second place early on. Unfortunately, on Lap 9 the pressure of defending the place got to her and she span off, putting her all the way at the back of the field. Meanwhile, Kei Suzuki finally got to a race finish, scoring points in seventh.
Championship Standings After Round 6:
Drivers Championship After R1-6
1 Martono 64
2 Takashi 54
3 Sung-Tae 48

18 Sekai 3

Martono's consistency has allowed him to extend his championship lead to ten points, with Takashi up to second for much the same reason, despite not winning a race so far. Gouriki also moves up to fifth, and Weerwatnodom moves up the standings after tripling his points tally over the weekend,

Clifton will be driving for you from Suzuka onwards, provided she does not compete in F5000 while she is part of this season (however this should be workable as the next round in F5000 after this signing is in December, after the F4 season's over) , otherwise she will have too much experience to compete in F4 fairly (I'm already being a bit lenient now as she's already done 2 races). If this is an issue, you may have to stick with Endo or find another younger and less experienced driver.

Kayra Clifton Was in round 1. But DNF both races. She will appear again in rounds 3 and 4 before May 18.
After these rounds she will have three races in her career. (Mt. Panorama, Adelaide and Melbourne), the same number of races that Kazuomi Endo have from now (Okayama, Sepang and Sentul).
For me, looks like an equivalent exchange.

Yes, but F4 uses a basic spec chassis with L4 engines capped at 160hp. F5000 uses 5.0L V8 engines, which would likely have at least double this figure, mated to ex-Formula Nippon chassis. Big difference.

So, it's a no way? If Kayra can't be accepted, I still have other driver up for F4:

So, it's a no way? If Kayra can't be accepted, I still have other driver up for F4:
Naotsune Kano (Japanese; February 4, 2002)
...who's driving for Dandelion.

Ooh... Weird.
BTW, I noticed Kayra Clifton is already in F4 Wiki page.

As I said, this is on the condition that she does no more F5000 races other than the two she's already done, at least until December, when the F4 season's done.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Sentul Up!
After some consideration, and taking into account the need that I have to progress with the series at some point (Work schedule means I gotta take advantage of whatever free time I have), the F5000 Series organisers will veto any potential move for Clifton to move from F5000 to F4, citing existing contractual obligations.
Calsonic United Nippon Team will also protest any potential move, on the basis that F5000 experience would be considered an unfair advantage in the much more nimble F4 cars.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Sentul Up!
As the F5000 organisers aren't happy, and as her manager hasn't pulled her out of the F5000 races which I would have needed them to do to make the deal even remotely fair (even then it would be a bit iffy for my liking), I'm afraid that Team RS are either going to have to hang on to Endo or find another replacement (which you will have to name before Saturday if you want them to race at Suzuka). Sorry about that, John Rafael.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Suzuka Up!- John Rafael Needed!
Ok, I'll admit this is now really late, but here are the results for the Suzuka Rounds of Asian F4;
Quali-1:
Kwon Sung-Tae put his car on pole for the second race in a row, with fellow fast qualifier Go Gouriki alongside him. Championship leader Martono put his car third, but his nearest challenger Ryunnosuke Takashi put in an uncharacteristically poor run to line up only 17th, while lower down the field Tsujimura's new recruit Hinata Miura was 21st. Failing to qualify were Isyraf Danish, who made Takashi's off day look like championship form, and less surprisingly Kazuomi Endo, who has become somewhat of a persona non grata with Team RS' management, who have been trying their hardest to replace him (but are yet to find a legal choice) since Sentul.
Race 1 (video coming soon)
Initially Muizzuddin Gafar had the best start, and led by around a second from Sung-Tae and Martono, and it seemed for a while that he had the situation under control; perhaps Narita Engineering would get it's first win? Martono however, had other ideas and promptly passed Korean and Malaysian drivers to take the top spot, simply pulling away from all challengers with stunningly consistent laps; his winning margin. Meanwhile, back in the midfield, the Casio Triangle proved too much for a number of drivers; Atsushi Kozuimi swapped ends there every other lap, and ERA's Jordan Raharjo had a more serious spin on lap 11, leaving Satoshi Murakami with nowhere to go but into him, taking both cars out of the points positions. Kwon Sung-Tae, despite his ultimately disappointing race pace, set fastest lap.
Quali-2:
Zhou Xiouping, after a Race 1 performance that was mediocre by his usual standards, more than made up for it with his second pole this year, with Takashi also looking like a threat in second- but lurking behind on row 2 was Presley Martono, looking for another strong showing. Kei Suzuki had his strongest qualifying showing yet in sixth, while Go Gouriki and the two Narita cars were a long way down the grid after impressive Race 1 results. Toyoda and Seul-Hae failed to qualify.
Race 2 (video coming soon)
Despite a somewhat familiar, this race was one of the most exciting this year. Ryunnosuke Takashi led for the first time this year thanks to a lightning start, holding this position with a one second margin over the imperious Presley Martono in second and Xiouping who had dropped to third. Sadly Takashi's patience and consistency this year is still yet to be rewarded with a win, as by lap 5, Martono sailed past and off into the distance, with a margin of nearly four seconds by the time Zhou Xiouping overtook the Japanese on Lap 11.
That move, however, brought the race back to life. The Red Dragon driver started to do something no-one had previously managed this year- that is to reign Martono in. With 10 laps to go, the gap had halfed, to 2 seconds. By Lap 21, it was under a second. By setting fastest lap after fastest lap (though ironically not the official fastest lap- that was run by Gouriki, down in 12th), the Chinese driver had a serious chance at winning the race, and in the last couple of laps tried several lunges on the Calsonic driver, to no avail. Eventually, even after a valiant final corner manuouvre, he had to concede: Martono withstood the pressure and won, but the winning margin was just under half a second; and more eyes were on Xiouping than anyone else.
Elsewhere in the field, there were several impressive performances from the likes of Suzuki and Murakami, who both recorded their best finishes this year, and some somewhat less impressive ones- Jordan Raharjo again threw away a points finish after his Race 1 misadventure, with an identical spin in the Casio Triangle mid-race, Kwon Sung-Tae only missing the stricken car (and its loose wheel) by a matter of inches.

Martono's near-perfect score leaves him with a huge 27 point lead over nearest rivals Takashi (who still has a 100% scoring record) and Xiouping, who has climbed a place, with Sung-Tae only a point behind in fourth.
Feel free to sack drivers (if you want to get rid of Endo and replace him with an eligible driver, John Rafael, now is the time) and comment before the Autopolis rounds in (hopefully) two weeks time.

Tell me Team RS could have him. Please. I can even place some People's Republic of Korea advertising on the livery. Since Clifton is not coming, I need someone to replace Kazuomi Endo and his awful performance.

Re: 2019 Asian F4- Autopolis Up!
Sorry that this is so very late (more technical difficulites; Autopolis broke so I had to reinstall GP2 again; no data was lost) but here are the results from Round 5 at Autopolis:
Quali-1;
Zhou Xiaoping took pole for race 1 at Autopolis, with K-Apex's Kwon Sung-Tae lining up alongside, but the most attention was on the driver who finished the session third; Joo-Woon Song, the North Korean driver making his debut for Team RS, bewildered the paddock with his stunning effort, even outqualifying his teammate who was one place back in fourth, a nevertheless impressive effort. Fellow debutant Seong-Jin Cho also qualified impressively in seventh, one place ahead of championship leader Presley Martono (who had a somewhat mediocre session) and three ahead of teammate Yaname. Kosuke Setou and Takuma Toyoda failed to make the grid.
Race 1: (video here
Zhou Xiaoping made one of the worst starts of the year off pole, conceding four positions to a group led by Kwon Sung-Tae, Ryunnosuke Takashi and more surprisingly the two Korean debutants, Cho especially impressing with his lightning-fast start. The K-Apex driver led initially, but after just two laps of his racing career, Joo-Woon Song was leading a race! And it would be a lead he wouldn't relinquish, taking a victory first time out despite constant pressure from the two South Korean drivers behind him (making an awkward podium rostrum to say the least...), furiously trying to get past; his lead was never close to even two seconds through it all, while his teammate took a useful but disappointing fourth, on a day when his championship rival Martono was struggling for pace, leaving his points lead vulnerable. Further down the field, Masahiro Yaname added to his points tally with another ninth, while others such as Hamda al Qubaisi struggled to find their feet at the twisty Autopolis complex- though none found this as much as Jordan Raharjo, who came very close to having his third spin in three race, albeit recoving this time. Seong-Jin Cho took fastest lap in a race dominated by Koreans, both North and South.
Quali-2:
Kwon Sung-Tae clearly had a point to prove in the second qualifying session, and so did Presley Martono, the two drivers making up the front row fuelled by disappointment from Race 1. Ryunnosuke Takashi was metronomic is his consistency with another fourth place grid slot, while the more mercurial Go Gouriki looked to be on form in third place in the session. Choi Seul-Hae and the glacially slow Takuma Toyoda failed to qualify
Race 2: (video here)
The Autopolis Circuit produced yet another great race to watch, with observers treated to a truly epic battle for the lead between Kwon Sung-Tae and Presley Martono, lap after lap. They ran nose-to-tail, seperated by no more than half a second for over half the laps run, the lead changing at least once every lap (or on lap 10, three times!) and the tension ever-rising, with Ryunnosuke and Go Gouriki having their own lesser dogfight behind to see who would pick up the pieces if the two ahead collided (this fizzled out on lap 6, in Gouriki's favour). Eventually the winning move was made by the South Korean driver round the outside of turn one- intially it looked as if he had botched this manoeuvre and lose time, but he managed to switch back on Martono and hold on to advantage which grew to nearly two seconds by the end of the race, the latter driver seemingly fatigued after some truly incredible defensive and aggressive wheel-to-wheel racing, also gaining a fastest lap for his efforts.
Rather less impressive were the wheel-to-wheel antics of Kosuke Setou, who managed to make both an awful start and then run into and over the three cars ahead, terminally damaging Rudiartono's suspension and pushing al Qubaisi into the gravel, ruining her race also and forcing other cars such as the two Dandelions to take evasive action.
Penalty Points:
Kosuke Setou: 5 points, causing an avoidable collision resulting in a retirement; no further action taken

Martono retains his championship lead, but Sung-Tae now moves up to second after his second win, reducing the Indonesian's advantage to 16 points from nearly 30. Takashi remains third, though still winless despite his 100% scoring record this year, while Xiaoping drops to fourth after being in "anonymous-mode" all weekend. After their stunning debuts, Song and Cho enter the points table in 11th and 12th respectably, ahead of many who have done the whole season- it is interesting to ponder where they might be in the championship if they had turned up at Okayama in March...
Firstly, apologies for being really, really late with this one (I'll try to get Motegi ran a lot more quickly and efficiently), and secondly, as always feel free to comment or sack drivers before the first of the Motegi rounds, which are the last races before the midseason break; there will be a test session during this period, which will be elaborated on after said races.

Zhou Xiaoping took pole for race 1 at Autopolis, with K-Apex's Kwon Sung-Tae lining up alongside, but the most attention was on the driver who finished the session third; Joo-Woon Song, the North Korean driver making his debut for Team RS, bewildered the paddock with his stunning effort, even outqualifying his teammate who was one place back in fourth, a nevertheless impressive effort. Fellow debutant Seong-Jin Cho also qualified impressively in seventh, one place ahead of championship leader Presley Martono (who had a somewhat mediocre session) and three ahead of teammate Yaname. Kosuke Setou and Takuma Toyoda failed to make the grid.

Zhou Xiaoping made one of the worst starts of the year off pole, conceding four positions to a group led by Kwon Sung-Tae, Ryunnosuke Takashi and more surprisingly the two Korean debutants, Cho especially impressing with his lightning-fast start. The K-Apex driver led initially, but after just two laps of his racing career, Joo-Woon Song was leading a race! And it would be a lead he wouldn't relinquish, taking a victory first time out despite constant pressure from the two South Korean drivers behind him (making an awkward podium rostrum to say the least...), furiously trying to get past; his lead was never close to even two seconds through it all, while his teammate took a useful but disappointing fourth, on a day when his championship rival Martono was struggling for pace, leaving his points lead vulnerable. Further down the field, Masahiro Yaname added to his points tally with another ninth, while others such as Hamda al Qubaisi struggled to find their feet at the twisty Autopolis complex- though none found this as much as Jordan Raharjo, who came very close to having his third spin in three race, albeit recoving this time. Seong-Jin Cho took fastest lap in a race dominated by Koreans, both North and South.

Kim Jong-Un has declared K-Apex enemies of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. They will be sentenced to a lifetime of hard labour should they ever set foot in our great nation.
