Anderson will file an appeal. If that fails, I offer Simpson Hiroto Tojo as stand-in. :)

Case dismissed.

Tojo should be fine as a supersub though, if Simpson approves.

Seriously, that's a CC-line problem. Isn't it obvious by the fact that you're penalising TEN drivers? It's almost as if you chose the track to thin out some of the numbers a bit...

I urge EVERYONE to appeal that, it's f**king ridiculous.

I was suspecting it may have been a CC line problem of some description. But if it is, why it only affected some cars and not others that hit the turn 3 wall seems a bit odd. And that doesn't explain Jantscher as he was on the other side of the track which had nowhere near the same issues.

Anyways, Ruleboke was arrested after the race for punching Douglas in the face and the Commissioner may be looking at reducing the penalties for some of the cases, but only after he decides on a new venue for the FedEx 100 as we are not going back to Indianapolis.

Awesome.

Sorry for the mini-torrent of anger, I was just a little bothered by it.

Brett Johnson wrote:If there is a candidate for bad performances today, it would be race control. Somehow they thought that handing out 10 race bans was a good idea. Therefore, we will appeal the race bans of Davies and Jantscher for obvious reasons, since we believe that the penalties were harsh considering they were in their first race and it was also partly in blame for race control for not putting full cautions when someone crashed out of the race. We also ask the other teams to appeal their race bans as well. On the other hand, I am glad the commission has decided to move away from Indianapolis as it is unstable, unpredictable, and the cause of numerous collisions. There is something about the track that somehow makes it lack grip, causing otherwise avoidable collisions.

Couldn't agree more, Wizzie you've banned half the field for at least the first race next year. And it's not like this didn't happen the last time you ran a race on that circuit. I sensibly suggest two things: firstly, to lift every ban put in place following that race, because if you're going to take away one, you might as well get rid of the lot. Secondly, I would definitely look at either finding a different version of the track, or going in there yourself and editing it to avoid the mess that has happened for two seasons in a row. If that's not possible, then I'm not entering the race next year. I'm not risking having my drivers banned/injured/killed because of a crappy circuit design.

If calls from people with teams/drivers in the series to amend aspects of the championship continue to be consistently ignored, then I will have to review whether or not I fancy wasting my time entering this series. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Yeah, basically if he says no again, this goes to "CAS", someone that isn't Wizzie looks and sees how ridiculous this is, tells him the penalties have to go, and we're back to normal again.

It was actually quite hard supporting this motion as Hawkin was also going to get a 2 race ban, but I'll let it slide seeing as how it's ridiculous for everyone :P

I think Hawkin will be banned regardless, I was talking to wizzie earlier in the chat and apparently Hawkin should've been banned in France.

And also Cara was banned for something that happened in qualifying and not the race, but then again, could have been the same cause.

Theo's been fired, we're going to use the F3RWRS penalty system next year, Indy's off the calender, and all the bans have been downgraded to probations except Cara and Hawkin. Douglas is on the phone to someone as we speak to find out just how the hell he managed to miss Hawkin's second probation for so long.

Why the f*ck is Hawkin banned? Sour grapes from me moaning about the engines or something?

No, he got a probation in Australia for shoving Katayama in the wall, and then another one in France for his antics in qualifying and race. Since I had managed to forget the first one completely until now, it was let slide. With a technical third probation at Indy, he got the two race ban as a result.

Fair enough, I missed that myself in all honesty. It means a slight change in my plans for 2016 however.

Autosport wrote:Furious Jones pulls Hawkin from F2RWRS in bid to save career

A furious Sammy Jones has tonight decided to turn his F2RWRS plans upside down following a two race ban being handed to star driver Terry Hawkin which he'd be forced to serve for the first two races of 2016. Instead, Hawkin will spearhead Jones' campaign in the reformed RoLFS series which has been rebranded to the IFRC alongside Irish paydriver Connor O'Heagan. It was initially assumed that Giles Massinion would partner O'Heagan at Jones' team in the IFRC, but Jones sources tonight confirmed that the Frenchman will share the second car with O'Heagan over the course of the season, with the two doing an equal number of races.

On announcing his new plans, Jones had this lengthy statement for the press,

"The F2RWRS has gone down the pan. MRT handed themselves the championship in 2014 with their own BMW engines, and since then we've had mis-management on a scale not seen since British f*cking Leyland in the 70s. I'm not having my number 1 driver messed about with crappy race bans and substandard stock chassis and an engine parity formula that has Lancia and BMW laughing all the way to the f*cking podium. The series is supposed to be the next best thing after F1RWRS, when we all know damn well that the IFRC will offer better racing, better machinery and a better prospect for young drivers looking to progress through the ranks. This is why I've decided to switch Terry Hawkin from F2 to IFRC, and why I'm now looking for a new driver to partner Rueckert who has now been promoted to number one. As far as I'm concerned, Castrol and Rueckert are the only reasons I'm staying put in the series, and my views for 2017 are far from set in stone yet. A lot can change in that time but the series management need to pull the finger out of their arses and start listening to the drivers and us team managers otherwise it'll turn into a joke. I've brought a top-line engine manufacturer to the table for 2016 in Ford, and yet they're placed second from bottom in an engine hierarchy system that makes the Indian caste system look like a f*cking socialist brotherhood. Where's the equality? Where's the equalisation? What's the point in bringing powerful new manufacturers to the table if they're going to be treated like horsesh*t from day 1? The whole organisation is a complete joke. No-one is listened to, no-one is accountable, and as I said if I hadn't already got interests in the series for 2016, then I'd be pulling the plug here and now. As it is, I intend to give Johannes and whoever ends up partnering him the best chance possible at success with our deliberately under-powered Ford engines, and a realistic chance for the title, and stick two fingers up to the pricks who try and stop us."

As for Hawkin's now vacant seat in the F2RWRS, a number of different drivers have been tipped for the seat, though no firm plans have been confirmed by Jones' team. It is believed they are evaluating a number of F3RWRS drivers however.


So I'm in the market again for a driver, all serious applications will be considered. As the article points out, I'd like to give an F3RWRS driver a chance, but I'm open to anything.

Except Voeckler. ;)

So Simon Garfünkel it is? :lol:
As Justin Case has been confirmed as replacement of Kremnicky, i can no longer offer him (unless wizzie changes his mind, but that's not my problem), but i can offer you Dorien Lamberigts. She scored a few points in a Geely-powered F3 car, so she's not rubbish (she actually won a race in 2014) and she would love to race against her brother. She has a nasty habit of getting banned herself, though :?

Well, actually, that is not true anymore. Kremnicky is no longer suspended for any races and therefore Case is no longe required. At the moment. Also, I don't think you should offer him to Jones for the full season, that goes against the idea of his career...I wanted him for four races only, not the whole season!

So I'm in the market again for a driver, all serious applications will be considered. As the article points out, I'd like to give an F3RWRS driver a chance, but I'm open to anything.

Except Voeckler. ;)


What about Hiroto Tojo? Or Dave Anderson, for that matter? ;)


Yeah. Why rule out just Voeckler when there are so many others so devoid of talent that they should be kept away from you cars at all costs?

Tommy Nash will be available once he recovers from his injury..

And by the way, unless Hawk in dominates the IRFC, this move will not be looked upon well.

It could be a decision as bad as moving Gary Pacer from F1RDS while he was leading the championship....

A penalty list almost as long as the entry list, caused by ridiculous AI and drivers crawling around the track with broken cars? Sounds familiar... :lol:

Also points for Nurmester, yay! :D

Kenan Ardaoglu is very interested in gaining the F2RWRS seat. His results in F1RICS speak for themselves and he is confident that he can do just as well in the RWRSs.

Yeah, in the interests of Justin Case's background I shan't be considering him for the drive. Good to see a fair bit of interest in the seat though. I'll make a decision sometime next week.

True, it is a big risk indeed, but in all honesty I fancied having my most successful driver in a more stable, fair series that doesn't hand bans out like free chocolate. If he doesn't do well, it's no big deal. Hawkin is still only 17 if I remember right, so there's plenty of time yet to gain experience.

The Gauthier Juniors are also interested in gettin either Manon Blanchett, the FIA European Formula 3 champion champion, or Théodore Gauthier, who finished 3rd in the same series, in the 2nd Jones IFRC seat.

Ah sorry for any confusion BCS but my second IFRC seat is already finalised as a Massionion/O'Heagan sharing deal.

I should clarify that I'm looking at drivers who have already debuted in either F3RWRS, RoLFS (as it was known) or F2RWRS for the seat vacated by Hawkin.

So Simon Garfünkel it is? :lol:
As Justin Case has been confirmed as replacement of Kremnicky, i can no longer offer him (unless wizzie changes his mind, but that's not my problem), but i can offer you Dorien Lamberigts. She scored a few points in a Geely-powered F3 car, so she's not rubbish (she actually won a race in 2014) and she would love to race against her brother. She has a nasty habit of getting banned herself, though :?

Well, actually, that is not true anymore. Kremnicky is no longer suspended for any races and therefore Case is no longe required. At the moment. Also, I don't think you should offer him to Jones for the full season, that goes against the idea of his career...I wanted him for four races only, not the whole season!

Oh yeah, i was wrongly assuming that it was a temporary seat. Still, my other offer stands.
I don't know what i want and i want it now!

BTW, I have corrected the stuff you mentioned earlier. Octan is back on the lower sidepods. This meant I was able to move festivalblog.be from the upper plane of the sidepod (and therefore not very visible) to the trailing edge of the engine cover. To be fair, it does look better now, you were right.

Also, I got rid of the square font for the numbers and replaced it with something much bolder and easier to see.

For the benefit of Wizzie (hopefully we get a preview before the season starts!);

No, that was my bad, sorry, I should really read topic titles more often.

Just so you know the date of the F2 North Sea Grand Prix collides with the Blyton Park Rallycross round so if Barry gets an F2 seat he'll have to miss one of them ;)

Considering that in his F3RWRS outings he was significantly off the pace...he might need a little more experience in a lower category.

The incompetent fool has returned with an announcement.

Firstly, Lausitz has been cancelled due to emergency track resurfacing at turn 1, which means Tropico will be our only NC race for this year. Secondly, there are several empty seats that need to be filled in the entry list here: http://f1rejects.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211997#p211997. Finally, I'll be testing the new engines at Tropico, so teams will be running with their 2016 engines, not their 2015 engines for Marfield.
