With some of the stuff you've done recently, Melrose himself is starting to believe that maybe you can run an F1RWRS team properly afterall.

I still have my doubts, but I probably have no right to say anthing as my team will probably end up being stuck in pre qualifying.

Technical data shows that van Nieuwenhuijzen's car was subject to technical faults for most of the races in the car, meaning his machinery was by default slower than those of any other team, a huge hinderance given the fact F2RWRS is a single make series. Once this technical flaw had been identified and corrected near the end of the season, he went from the back end of the grid to the front. He was a Top 5 qualifier, scored points and would have finished on the podium at Indy had his car not given up only a handful of laps from the end. If he had raced the entire season like the rest of the field with equal machinery, he would certainly be a Top 10 contender.

Actually, he was never going to get a podium at Indy in a month of Sundays as from memory, he was already a lap down and behind Marchesi by that point. And it wasn't a mechanical failure. He simply threw it into the turn 3 wall

Of course we could also take into account mitigating circumstances, for example if a driver from a team is banned or injured for a number of races and requires a replacement, an inactive member won't be able to put in a substitue so a polite reminder of the series and the requirement of the member's attention would be suitable I think. I also think therefore that we should draft up an email template for these situations, to mail out to inactive members, so that everything is polite and consistent. Whilst I trust FMecha and his emails to members, I'd prefer if everything was above board so everyone knew where we all stand.

About point B and the issue raised about The_Lukas, if you ask him if he is interested at the end of the season, naturally he will say yes, as it is his own team. Yet, he won't show up for the rest of the season. This could also apply to other members in the present/future

So which one of my drivers had a mechanical failure near the end of that race while battling for 3rd? I swear I remember someone doing that and I thought it was van Nieuwenhuijzen. Might want to check that again...

But you've got to bear in mind that he's had nigh on nothing to write about since the season started, in a similar vein to Shizuka with his Shonan team. We can't say that he isn't regularly viewing the thread, just like Shizuka has pointed out - he checks regularly but has nothing really to add so it 'appears' as if his interest in it is low, when in reality its no less than anyone else on here. I'm willing to give people like that the benefit of the doubt, and I think everyone should take a step back before mentioning any more members because it's quite unfair and nasty, especially when they could have real-world commitments that could be particularly unpleasant. It's a delicate issue, and I think a polite email during the off-season each year is enough in my opinion.

Anyway... this should be tried out as a test for the first races in the next seasons. If there actually is no activity from the user (which means not being online too) for the first five races (which will take at least... 6 weeks, or more), then we should talk about it again.
I could have posted "Bugger, another DNPQ" after every PreQ round, but 1) I don't want to spam this just to make my post count bigger and 2) This would not be a helpful contribution.

I'd like to discuss how we should bring down the number of teams. I think the best solution to keep people in the waiting list getting their teams would be to only hand one entry out of every two which become available, starting from next season. Any ideas?

With the new equalisation measures which means that more teams should have a chance of qualifying, I'd say see how the races pan out next year. Then we'll decide whether we should reduce the entry list or not.

I just decided to count up how many drivers I own. It would appear I have FOURTEEN! And that was after I sacked three at the end of this season!!

Obviously different cases. That debate was about users who wanted to enter/return to F1RWRS not being allowed to because of superlicense criteria, this is about a small, select group of users, of whom Kostas is the worst offender, saturating the universe with their drivers.

Of which only one has a Reject License, so I don't see your problem, and only 9 are within or close to the the RWRS system. It also didn't help that Pointrox went ahead and signed Carsten Jancker without asking me first, which put me over the driver limit after I'd already set my 2015 plans in stone, however rescinding control of David Koczo is something I had hoped to do and achieved soon after. I only have so many drivers because I compete in so many parallel series, I can't run three guys in everything and expect to keep it realistic.

You don't need to do that just because you don't post a lot! But then if you don't want a team any more... Basically it's your choice.
