MA-Racing complete their F3 assault with final test.

An emotional Mr.Alexander has spoken about leaving Formula 3 and moving into the RWRS for 2014. "Whilst we wait for the engine and chassis list for next year, we decided to conduct one final test of our F3 car with Matthias at Brands Hatch. We have developed a small but loyal fanbase so with the circuit owners permission, we opened the gates and allowed free access to anyone who wanted to come along. I was amazed to find the main grandstand virtually packed!"
Whilst Valsattis piloted the sole MA13-B for 42 laps, official test and reserve driver Alexey Pchelintsev was away, finalizing his contract with the team. "Alexey is a determined guy who will learn his trade with us this year. His contract states at least three races with us during the year, deputising for either driver. The races he does will be decided by myself, but Alexey can be assured he will get regular running away from the track."
Mr.Alexander also spoke about his teams chances for 2014. "We have to be realistic and professional, but there's no harm in setting ambitious targets for ourselves. Regular point finishes is a must if we want to succeed straightaway, but just getting through pre-qualifying and main qualifying will be out first goal. After we do that, outr first finish. The. Our first points. I'm getting too excited now, I can't wait to get our new car together and gets some laps done on it."

Daniel Martins wrote:It was a difficult race, the car had a lot of understeer. I believe I managed the best possible result given the machinery at my disposition. The lack of investment by the owners in relation to the drivers is beginning to show. We should've have spent time in a simulator. About the ongoing investigation, I wont make any comments. About Prince Falik's critical stance of my driving I can only say that Prince Falik never drove a normal car never mind a racing car.

Prince Falik announced at a swanky hotel in Knightsbridge, London the sponsors for Arrowtech in the 2014 season. "Yes, yes, friends, gentlemen, ladies and journalists. We are proud to announce the sponsors for 2014, first is Western Union, the premier way to send money through out the world. Next is the South African MTN Group who make telecommunications possible in Africa. Then we have Nobelcom, helping people call their loved ones all over the world. Finally we have the famous p-minus brand which will introduce, not one, not two, not even three, but four products next season, yes, yes, yes! Arrowtech will will be well funded and fast. Drivers will be announced in the future. Now if you all like to drink some cristal champagne and hopefully you will write nice things about us.". We asked him to comment on Daniel Martins comments and he said "What a load of lion droppings, Mr Groves can score points and Daniel Martin fails to qualify and was rubbish in the Indy 500. I think it has more to do with his driving ability. We have funded the car very well and we shall bring more money to the team next season. I hope Daniel Martins will be grovling to Mr Fox after his out burst. I hope he does make him test in Jerez, see if he is faster then Issac Evans, let alone Kay Lon. No excuse me there is papaya juice to drink.".

Kamaha in sponsor shortage.

Kamaha sponsors Pall Mall, Glaxo Smith Klien and Orange have ended sponsorship agreements early due to poor results. Barii Mori refused to answer questions, but it is known that Kamaha have no sponsors at the moment. There are questions about if Kamaha will be racing next season, but a spokesperson said Kamaha will be on the grid but driver line up is being confirmed.

FAT Turbo racing entry sold

Barii Mori did confirm the sale of the FAT Turbo racing entry to a consortium lead by ex Sunshine driver Hagane Shizuka. The team are likely to be called Shonan DMS racing.

Sunshine offer contract to Kay Lon

A mole tells us that Sunshine have offered a contract to Kay Lon, there are a few sticking points including that there will be a performance based paid and that Kay Lon will have the second number but will be equal number one to Shinobu Katayama. Sunshine have said that for confidential reasons they can not confirm or deny this rumour and Kay Lons manager have not return our calls

Kay Lon Fanclub on Facebook wrote:Kay To Decide Soon!

Our favourite driver, the best in the world at what he does, has said to us that a decision about his future will be made shortly. The negotiations are just waiting to be finished. He promised us that you will know which team to support one week after the last day of the big Arrowtech test. And there is further big news: no matter whether Kay goes to Arrowtech or remains with Sunshine, your shirts will still be worth their money, because he told us that both teams have already agreed to let him wear his "Best In The World" series instead of team clothing on race weekends. Stay tuned...

A magazine wrote:Day Two of the ArrowTech tests have been concluded. At the advice of Prince Falik, Daniel Martins has been given a few test runs. The Fox said that he prefered that Martins not tested in the session but after a talk between Falik and The Fox, they agreed that Martins shall run in the session.

The results from day two of three are as follows:

Daniel Martins 1m 30.315
Mirko Bosevic 1m 30.420
Kay Lon 1m 30.438
Issac Evans 1m 30.500
Saeed Al Faisal 1m 30.556
Dave Simpson 1m 30.589

It has been reported that Evans has been hit with the flu and will not be fit to participate in the third day.

This can´t happen as you didn´t own FAT in the first place. You were offered FAT only to end the season and with a preferential option over FAT chassis and/or engine for Kamaha once the season ended, but just that. FAT entry will be empty, and if Shizuka wants to start a team from zero then it´s great, but it has to be a new entry.

Okay, fine, I'd start a new team then, but how many credits can I get? :oops:

A newspaper wrote:The third and final day of the ArrowTech test has been concluded. There was slight rain though it did not disrupt the drivers' times. Issac Evans, as mentioned before, was sick with the flu and could not participate. The Fox has said that Evans will not be in the running for the seat. He also said that his failure to participate in the third day was not a factor in the decision. Daniel Martins once again took part in the session, possibly happier now that he was showing off to Prince Falik.

Daniel Martins 1m 30.359
Kay Lon 1m 30.442
Saeed Al Faisal 1m 30.443
Mirko Bosevic 1m 30.446
Dave Simpson 1m 30.480

About mid-way through the session, Martins claimed to have saw a deer on the track. Neither Martins nor anybody else from the circuit were able to comment.

Prince Falik wrote:It is truely amazing how fast a driver will go once you have his testicles in a vice and you threaten to tighten it. Still Fox, I think you should sign up Saeed Al Faisal as he is fast and is rich, so will help developement of the car with credits. He is also quiet and will not make stupid demands like that Kay Lon does. When driving for Arrowtech, all drivers must wear the official team wear, otherwise the sponsors will not be happy.

Barii Mori wrote:Well I am disappoointed at not being able to give away the entry for FAT Turbo, still I have given Hagane Shizuka for free, all the equipment that FAT Turbo had. I wish him well and hope he prequalifies as he does deserve it.

I need help to confirm something, because from the way things are looking at the moment we seem to have a five-way tie at the top as far as started races go: if my research is correct, Douglas Mann, Kay Lon, Thomas De Bock, Daniel Melrose and Nathanael Spence are currently all at 50 starts.

Autosport wrote:BMW could offer F2RWRS engine to F1RWRS teams

Earlier today Autosport has learned that German manufacturer BMW is reportedly sending an application to the F1 Rejects Council to have the engine used in the F2RWRS available for F1RWRS teams. As part of the plan, BMW are said to provide two teams a year with the engine, dubbed the P-87, through Melrose Racing Team's engine workshop at Cologne. The engine was originally the one MRT were going to use in the F1RWRS before the new regulations were put in place and allegedly produce 750bhp in race trim which makes it more powerful than any of the current engines on the grid, although it has been rumoured that it's capable of 775 bhp in qualifying trim in it's current form although that option hasn't been made available to the F2RWRS teams as of yet. Neither BMW, MRT or the F1 Rejects Council were available for comment.

Bit late, but:

The Sydney Morning Herald wrote:HRT has completed its second day of private testing at Sandown Raceway today. The morning session was again mostly for giving the F2RWRS drivers a run, as well as Jason Hamilton, in the 2010 Rosenforth RF10. In the afternoon, the four main drivers for HRT and GRM, Rhys Davies, Ashley Watkinson, Frank Zimmer and Poppy Whitechapel all hopped into the cars for some low fuel runs. Shortly before nightfall, Davies and Zimmer drove the cars which were equipped with 2014 front and rear wings. HRT also released the test times from yesterday, confirming suspicions of Whitechapel's qualifying speed.

MA-Racing: Still hunting for another driver.

Mr.Alexander is still looking for a driver to partner Valsattis in their debut season. After making approaches to Melrose, Koczo and Jack Christopherson, all three have blanked the request. "Its frustrating because we want to formalise our line-up as soon as possible. We need our drivers to put some decent mileage before the season kicks off."
Despite signing Alexey on a third driver basis, and also having Steven Mackintosh available for 'testing', Mr.Alexander has hinted at another driver. After spending the second day observing the HRT driver test, Jason Hamilton did enough to convince Mr.Alexander to make an offer. "He impressed me. I'd like him to join us. But we have already agreed to let Alexey have a few races throughout the year, so Jason might be the driver to step aside for a couple of events. Hopefully, Jason will get back to us soon and let me know what he thinks."

Oh, it will. Think about it - in 2 years minimum Hamilton could have a drive with a front-running/upper-midfield team, or he could dirve straight away for a team that will be stuck in pre-qualifying.

That was the main reason why I decided that Dave Simpson would stay at Prospec for the next season - the car might be slow, but at least there's a guaranteed spot in qualifying for the first half of the season.
