F2RWRS 2017 // Canada Results UP

[Nessafox]

Miccoli, you are really dissapointing! You should be beating Carlisle with ease! Let's hope Josh keeps up this pace trough the main season, when things really matter.

[AndreaModa]

I'm bloody chuffed with that, everything just came together today, and to be honest that's the best race I've had for years. The car feels good and the team have been great. A lot has been made of my contract and its clauses, but I'm determined to let my driving do the talking. I'm hopeful of a good, successful season to help realise my dream of one day driving an F1RWRS car.

Yaname Electronics SuperPrix of Japan // Suzuka Circuit, Japan // Pacific Rim Cup Round 3 // February 5th, 2017

Qualifying



Race - 17 laps



Positives

Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen: Well, this is a fine way to recover from such setbacks as losing your drive. However, although on paper he will go down as recording a hat-trick, he certainly had to work for it. Still, such an impressive drive, can only earn an Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race award.

Jones Racing: Much improved performance from the team. On a different day, Hawkin or Nurmester could have walked away with the race win. As it stands, Hawkins leads the points standings for the DHL cup.

Carter Simpson: Found his pace from somewhere.


Negatives

Yuka Katayama: Rookie mistake lead to collision with Marcel Agyemang-Badu, taking the latter out of the race. Although Yuka was able to continue, sans front wing, no one would have guessed. Reject of the Race

Gillet: Anonymous. Could have stayed in Belgium and no one would have noticed.

Shane Walsh: Act III choke is not how this play was scripted to end.

Cameron steps up to F2RWRS; poised for Aeroracing

After joining the Astro Racing Stars program, Nathanael Cameron is to sign a deal with Aeroracing's F2RWRS program for 2017. Cameron finished 3rd in F3RWRS in 2016, and after a pair of good seasons in the championship has declared his intentions to step forward. Although left by his previous management, Astro signed Cameron in order to help the young Brit pursue his goal of reaching F1RWRS, and it's believed that the company secured the Aeroracing seat in order to stave off overtures from the National Champions of the Future program, who also wanted to pick up Cameron's affairs.

Wait a minute... why are the race results showing Nurmester 2nd and Hawkin 8th, but the championship standings the other way around?

Toohey's F2RWRS Australian Grand Prix // Adelaide Street Circuit, Adelaide, Australia // Round 1 // March 3rd-5th, 2017

Qualifying



Race - 44 laps



FLAP: Alessandro Lucarelli (01:18.7076)

Positives

Dan Greenlaw: Great drive from Greenlaw. Stuck the car on pole and never left the top two all race. His battles with Hawkin were enthralling, and somewhat miraculously neither put it in the wall.

Terry Hawkin: A brilliant drive from Hawkin. Equally deserving of the race win, just Greenlaw had the upper hand after a race long battle. Defining move: Outside lunge at the hairpin to steal the lead from Greenlaw.

Quentin Reatherson: Came from 8th on the grid, through the melee that was the Safety Cars, to be within a second of winning the race. The only gripe is that he settled for third - the win was there for the taking Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race award.

Jason Hamilton & Alexandre Dorval: From the back of the field, picked their way through the accidents to earn 3 points for Gillet. Bravo.


Negatives

Marcel Agyemang-Badu & Shane Walsh: How do you cap a triumphant charge from the pack? A victory, or by cocking up and taking someone out of the race. If you guessed the latter, point for you, as that's exactly what Badu did. To make things worse, it was Salvatore Miccoli, a driver also in the Voeckler Talent Troupe. As for Walsh, he ruined his chances of victory - which were strong - by spinning out after the Safety Car from third position for Sebastien Prost's similar accident. Crashing into the pitwall is not the way to start your championship hopes, and neither is taking out your development stablemate. Reject of the Race for both of them.

Nick Nurmester: A slow start left him outside the top 5 by the time Simon had her accident, but lost out in the aborted Safety Car starts, and never was able to recover. Is saved ROTR by the muppetry of others.

Sebastien Prost: How do you manage to spin at a Safety Car restart, anyway?

Marie Simon: Ambitious move on Reatherson ended up in a flip and an early bath.

Jordan Davies: Anonymous all weekend. More is expected from the Briton.

Safety Car:
Laps 6-8: Marie Simon accident
Laps 10-11: Sebastien Prost accident
Laps 13-14: Shane Walsh accident

SimResults

Positives

Nick Nurmester: Quelled his critics with a persevering drive from 8th on the grid to win the race.

Quentin Reatherson: If he keeps this form up, he could be a dark horse for the title...

Lukas Zuber: A storming drive from 22nd on the grid to 6th position earns him the Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race award.


Negatives

James Davies Had a wonderful qualifying result and phenomenal start to the race, but then decided that leading for 5 laps was boring, and fell off the face of the earth. Reject of the Race

Johannes Rueckert: Was running about as well as he could be expected to before careening into the back of Carter Simpson.Pitting for a front wing ruined his race from there on out, and 50 penalty points may ruin his season later on.

Shane Walsh: Led convincingly in the middle phase of the race, but allowed the Jones pair to close the 2 second gap and get the better of him, before having to fend off Reatherson for 3rd. Should have won the race.

Gillet mechanics: Someone didn't attach Hamilton's water bottle properly, resulting in the Aussie suffering from heat stroke and having to retire the car aft just 11 laps.

Santander F2RWRS Italian Grand Prix // Monza, Italy // Round 4 // April 16th-17th, 2017

Qualifying

Race - 41 laps

FLAP: Quentin Reatherson (01:33.2872)
Gianluigi Pazzini has been excluded from the race results for his collision with Jordan Davies


Positives

Dan Greenlaw: Just missed out on pole, but kept the pressure on Nurmester for the whole race. Nurmester's poor restart after the Safety Car with two laps to go gave him an opportunity, and he took it, along with the Drive Of The Race award.

Nick Nurmester: Another strong performance from the Finn to move into the lead of the championship. People are starting to take notice.

Salvatore Miccoli: Jumped up into third before Cameron brought out the safety car, and managed to hold on to take his first F2RWRS podium.

Roberto Dinella: Scored his first F2RWRS points with a much improved showing.


Negatives

Gianluigi Pazzini: Was on to score the first points on the road for MRT, but stupidly punted Jordan Davies straight off the track at Variante Ascari. The stewards elected to show Pazzini the black flag. The disqualification has earnt him 100 penalty points, and by extension a race ban, along with Reject of the Race.

Jordan Davies: Being hit by Pazzini was not his fault. However, rejoining straight in front of the pack was his fault, with this moment of stupidity taking himself and Sebastien Prost out of the race. He shares the Reject of the Race award with Pazzini, and also receives 100 penalty points of his own and a nice little race ban.

Terry Hawkin: Qualified 13th. Remained 13th for most of the race, until a lazy spin dropped him down to 21st. Abysmal weekend. Would earn ROTR, if not for the idiocy of Pazzini and Davies.

Quentin Retaherson: He may have come home 8th and collected the bonus point for FLAP, but better results were up for grabs. Finishing behind Dinella on pace is also not something to write home about.

Lukas Zuber: His team mate challenged at the sharp end, whilst Zuber trundled around at the back.

Safety Car:
Lap 7-9: Pazzini/Davies/Prost collision
Lap 25-26: Cameron/Taki/Hamilton/Kwol-Cho collision

Aeroracing and MRT need to nominate a replacement before Wednesday 5th November, or the Commission will appoint a replacement for them.

[Nessafox]

Carlisle knows the deal: no significant results after 5 races is contract terminated. Altough his teammate hasn't exactly been impressive, he still got completely overshadowed.
If no replacement is found in time, obviously Justin Case will drive in the meantime.

[Phoenix]

Akira Yamamura will replace Jordan Davies for all meetings except for Austria, Belgium and Monaco due to clashing commitments with AR3.5. Who will race the second car for those 3 races? I need to hear offers because I'm frankly clueless.

Carlisle "delighted" as deal to join Aeroracing from round 6 is inked

Josh Carlisle has told reporters today that he is delighted to be joining the Aeroracing team in F2RWRS from the sixth race of the championship after his current team RonDen all but confirmed his departure upon the conclusion of round 5. The Briton signed a performance-related contract with RonDen at the start of 2017, as, desperate for a drive to extend his career, he publicly announced he'd drive anything available. However the results haven't come in the first 4 races, and as such, RonDen look certain to ditch the journeyman.

Italian Roberto Dinella and his "Lampre Lira" has emerged as favourite to replace Carlisle at RonDen, meanwhile Josh has been able to capitalise on the availability of the Aeroracing seat previously occupied by Jordan Davies. With Davies out of the team following his race ban, Carlisle has been hired as his replacement for the remainder of 2017, giving him yet another lifeline as he continually tries to extend his so far mediocre career.

[pasta_maldonado]

Pre-Austria Notes:
Melrose Racing Team: Gianluigi Pazzini OUT Franc Piscine IN
Aeroracing Engineering: Jordan Davies OUT Zaituna Dileita * IN

*Aeroracing failed to nominate a replacement driver eligible to partake in Round 5 of the championship before the Commission deadline. As such, they have been assigned Zaituna Dileita . Josh Carlisle is still scheduled to race for RonDen Racing Engineering until the conclusion of Round 5, therefore will be ineligible to compete for Aeroracing at Austria.

Qualifying

Race - 41 laps

FLAP: Johannes Rueckert (01:13.3436)
Takuma Taki has been excluded from the race results for his collision with Zaituna Dilieta


Positives

Terry Hawkin: Applied the right pressure at the right moment to capitalise from Cameron's and Walsh's mistakes and win the race. Drive Of The Race award.

Marcel Agyemang-Badu: Much needed return to form.

Quentin Reatherson: Gained 7 places from his starting position to work his way into the points.

Negatives

Takuma Taki: Where to start with this muppet? First of all, he uses Dileita as his brakes, ending her race, and forcing a visit to the pits to replace the MRT's nosecone. If that wasn't enough, Taki rejoins in front of the leaders, and proceeds to be blind to the blue flags being furiously waved. After three laps, the black flags came out, earning Taki a sure-fire Reject of the Race.

Nathanael Cameron: Started from pole position, and led the most laps of the race. Made a crucial mistake which allowed Hawkin through, and was too busy fending off the rest of the pack to stop the Jones from streaking off into the distance.

Shane Walsh: Could have, and should have, won this race, were it not for another late-race detonation

Marie Simon: Awfully anonymous weekend. Earned 20 penalty points for tipping Zuber into a spin.

Indeed, the best thing you can do when your seat is in danger, is finishing dead last. Great plan. I knew he was bad, but i never realised he was that bad...

When Zuber span at Turn 6, Carisle was unfortunate collateral. He had to pit for a new nose cone. I'm not saying he would have been any better had he not been involved, as he was running near the back of the pack anyway, but the pitstop eliminated any chance of a miracle.

Franc Piscine will get a second drive with MRT after Taki's latest episode.

Meanwhile in Cologne, there's a very unhappy drunk Australian who wants to forcibly put the two clowns Gigi and Taki into line...

F2RWRS Canadian Grand Prix // Road Gatineau, Canada // Round 6 // 19-21st May 2017

Results (21 laps)

FLAP: Marcel Agyemang-Badu (01:55.3465)
i: Renatu Bulku crashed out of the race on lap 1, and for some reason has no been shown in the results.


Positives

Quentin Reatherson: Taking your first category victory in style earns you the Drive Of The Race award.

Marcel Agyemang-Badu: Another strong showing sees him move back into contention for the title

Shane Walsh: First podium since Malaysia also brings him closer to the top of the table

Kevin Bainomugisha: Gained 12 places, and didn't manage to finish below 15th place. Might as well break out the champagne now, as I doubt there'll be better results for either Kevin or Aqua.

Yuka Katayama: Gained 16 places to score 2 points for Falik Arrows, her first in F2RWRS. You wait ages for one, and then two come along...

Negatives

Terry Hawkin & Nathanael Cameron: One point between the two front row starters is a dismal showing, and earns both drivers a shared Reject of the Race.

Alessandro Lucarelli: Big points were on offer, but.... I don't even know what happened here.

The Invisible Wall: For all retirees except Bulku, a collision with a particularly ill-tempered invisible wall ended their day. Due to the glitchiness of this situation, no injuries will occur.

Safety Cars:
None

F2RWRS Quebec Grand Prix // Circuit du Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada// Round 7 // 27-28th May 2017

Results (36 laps)

FLAP: Nick Nurmester (01:20.9833)

Positives

Terry Hawkin: Climbed from 12th position on the grid to finish 4th. A drive like this that could have rewarded so much more earns Hawkin the Drive Of The Race award.

Marcel Agyemang-Badu: 2nd place effectively tells the world: "there are two drivers at Voeckler"

Thomas Yorke: Could have finished third had he held it in the road, but 8th place is still a strong showing for the oft-overlooked second driver at Nebula.

Marie Simon: Deciding to actually start performing is always a good thing.

Shane Walsh: First victory and pole position see him move just 3 points behind championship leader Greenlaw.

Negatives

Nick Nurmester Blocking in qualifying explains the poor grid position, but whilst team mate Hawkin was able to carve through the field from a similar disadvantage, Nurmester failed to make any meaningful gains. Reject of the Race.

Quentin Reatherson: A poorly executed move on Badu for second position on lap 20 sent him to the pits to pick up a new front wing, and to rejoin the field at the back. Could be regretting this move come the end of the season.

Alexandre Dorval: Points on merit haven't come too often for Gillet this season, so losing the car at the Epingle hairpin won't go down too lightly with the higher-ups.

Josh Carlisle & Justin Case: Didn't believe the stewards when they were told that blocking would see them start from the back of the grid. Case qualified 11th. Oh dear.

[TomWazzleshaw]

As a result of their abysmal start to the year, Gianluigi Pazzini and Takuma Taki have both been sacked with immediate effect. We're interested in any and all drivers who want to get some F2 running before 2018.
