F3RWRS - Yet another feeder series

[the Masked Lapwing]

ATTENTION: SIGN UPS FOR 2015 ARE NOW UNDERWAY.
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4550&p=136564#p136564
PLEASE READ THE NEW RULES (and these ones) AND THEN APPLY.

So it seems that there is some support of an F3RWRS series. This will be run in the same way as the F1RWRS was from 2010-2012, so minimal effort is required from team owners.

Here's what I need:

Team Name:
Drivers: (Choose your own numbers, they can be anything from 0-99. I need nationalities as well.)
Chassis: (Dallara or Suzuki. Not important, I just want to get fancy Or you can pick your own. That works too.)
Team Nationality:

Each team can have up to 3 drivers. If we get more than 24 drivers, I might start up a second class for any extras.

A driver can only be eligible if they have never raced in the F1RWRS or F1 (non-championship races don't count), have started less than 10 F2RWRS races (the Indy 100 didn't count), and is under the age of 35.

The calendar will be announced later, i.e. when Aerond gets around to announcing the F1RWRS calendar. There might be about 6-7 rounds supporting the F1RWRS (going off 2013, the possibilities would be be Adelaide, Bathurst, Laguna Seca (close enough to Dallas), Oulton Park, Norisring, Zandvoort, Spa, and Shanghai (not the street circuit)), and one stand-alone event - the Surfers SuperPrix, last run as an F1RWRS race in 2012. I envision this to be like the Macau Grand Prix, allowing several one-off entries who wouldn't be eligible for championship points. Each round would consist of three races - race 1 will be a 20 minute race, race 2, a 10 minute reverse grid race, and race 3, another 20 minute sprint, with pitstops. For the race 2, the points system will be 10-6-4-3-2-1, and 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for the other two. One point will also be given for pole for race 1 and fastest lap in all of them.

Jones Gives Green Light To F3RWRS Entry
Sammy Jones declared tonight his official entry into the new F3RWRS feeder category, with his motorsport team Jones Racing. Finally ending speculation about whether Castrol would be involved or not, Sammy told reporters outside the team's base in Banbury, England that Castrol would merely be a 'minor backer' and that a title sponsor 'was unlikely to be found'. He was also able to announce the team's first driver, Englishman Terry Hawkin who would be driving the #7 JR-300 car. Terry brings with him some personal sponsorship in the form of lager brand San Miguel, for whom his father is reported to be a well-placed executive. Hawkin comes off the back of a very successful karting career and recently competed in British Formula Ford, winning a number of races. His new team boss Sammy Jones described Hawkin as 'a very promising future talent' and fully expects the young driver to hit the ground running immediately. On other drivers for the team, Sammy would only say that one other slot is currently available, and that he is willing to run a third car in the series should the number of entrants prove to be low.

Team name: Jones Racing
Drivers:
#7 Terry Hawkin

MA-Racing: Looking to the future.

Mr.Alexander has been very vocal recently about the need for another feeder series, having narrowly missed out on entering a team in the F2RWRS, so with the brand new F3RWRS being formed, MA-Racing are straight in with their entry. Whilst drivers have yet to be decided, the team will use a renamed Dallara chassis. "This is a fantastic opportunity to give our reserve and youth drivers a chance to prove themselves, which will hopefully give them the necessary skill and confidence to move into the main series in the future. Once we have finalized our F1RWRS line-up, we will announce our F3RWRS line-up a few days later."

Team Name: MA-Junior Racing
Drivers: #14: TBA
#15: TBA
#16 (optional): TBA
Chassis: Dallara (To be re-named MA-JR 001)
Nationality: English. Based in Sevenoaks, Kent.

How about Phil Cassidy, after he lost his arm?

To make things uncessessairy complicated, Software-company Lotus Developement will enter the series with a chassis produced by car manufacturer Mosler, powered by a Lincoln engine! 100% American you see!

This seems to be a different company than Lotus software however, although that isn't entirely clear to me
and seems to be located in Indianapolis of all places... gives me room for more Lotus rivalries!


Guess i'll give Wouter Lamberigts a little sister, Dorien, who is trying to combine her studies with racing
#22 Dorien Lamberigts (Belgian)
#23 Simon Garfünkel (Liechtenstein) (really, someone someday had to enter one of the lamest name-jokes in history of mankind, it is inevitible!)

[Pointrox]

Team Name: Ecurie Albertini
Drivers:
#42 - Jean-Vincent Albertini [MON]
Chassis: Suzuki
Team Nationality: Monegasque

Sponsors: Albertini Construzioni Navali, AS Monaco

Jean-Vincent was born in 1990 and comes from the family of gentlemen racing drivers: he's the son of Francois Albertini and the grandson of Leon Albertini - both enterpreneurs, heirs of multi-million fortune. Their shipyard - Albertini Construzioni Navali - is still one of the leading companies of this sector in Italy, where Albertini familia comes from. Jean-Vincent's father sponsors his racing career.
"JV", as he is called by his friends, has some racing experience, mostly by racing in French National Karting Championship and French touring car championship (GT Tour), where he drove the family Chevrolet Corvette used by his father. He never had any major successes, though, and he hopes to change that by participating in F3RWRS. He names Mirko Bosevic and Chris Dagnall as one of his influences.

YET ANOTHER SPANISH EFFORT TO ENTER F3RWRS

Spanish press has announced by surprise that a second Spanish effort will join F3RWRS in its first season. It will an all-Spain team led by professional tuning expert Jon-Ander García -watch this to know who I´m talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqCbpb5bOcM&feature=related. They will use a home-made chassis. Rumours say that they´re founded by mystery energy drink "Locura" by Rives.



Drivers are to be announced soon, although El Jonan has made clear that they will be Spanish.

More on my drivers, they are 16 and 19 years old, Dorien hasn't done anything other than having a brother in F2RWRS and Simon has some backing from Kinder Überraschung (yes, only the germanic import)

[Aerond]

By the way, the joke with Alberto Donegro name is, that in Spanish, you can also read, Al ver todo negro; which means As I See All Black

[Warren Hughes]

The Pemberton Group would like to enter F3RWRS with a race drive for Gary Cameron's younger brother Michael. There is also a second seat available for anyone who wants it. Oh, and a Dallara chassis please.

Well known F3 team ZimSport have signalled their entry into the inaugural F3RWRS season, running two Dallaras that they originally planned to enter in the British F3 season. Their drivers will be Ryan Zimmer in the #31, who is the son of team owner John Zimmer, and Carter Simpson in the #32, who is the cousin of F1 Champion Rhys Davies.

Warren Hughes: I need the numbers!

redbulljack14: I think Christopherson may have missed the age cutoff by quite some margin. I won't count the team yet.

We have enough drivers to either do:
a) Have two classes
b) Have pre-qualifying.

I prefer a), because pre-quali was a mess before.

How about have each team have 2 cars which are entered full time and the third entry for 3 car teams can only be entered on a part-time basis?

[SuperAguri]

If everyone is the same then Prequalifing is a bit pointless. If you are going to have two leagues then maybe run them so at half way point the best teams from one league join the best teams from the other and the worse ones join the B league.

Is it possible to have car #1 when this is a new series, surely car #0?

[AdrianSutil]

Surely having just the main qualifying, with the last few DNQ? As far as I'm aware, all the cars and engines are the same so it should be pretty random. Unless you have fixed car-sets in which case one or two teams are going to continually suck

17 and 18 please, unless they're already taken. In which case, 37 and 38.

To make fun of the Lotus vs. Lotus in real life? Sure after a time that will get too old and i will get some other teamnames, don't worry.

[AndreaModa]

Is anyone actually interested in entering drivers but not teams for this? If not I'll cancel the third car for Jones Racing and put another of my drivers in there.

[tommykl]

Well, I'll let you have Eric Swerts (22 years old), but I'll have the option to take him away to F2RWRS as soon as he's eligible. His experience amounts to a start in the 2011 REECCS Bathurst Enduro alongside Laurent Seron and competitive but inconsistent seasons in FRenault 2.0.

Due to a lack of drivers, I won't enter a team for this series.

[FullMetalJack]

Why isn't my team on the entry list.

Eric Swerts is signed alongside Terry Hawkin then for the #8 car! Does he bring with him any personal sponsors?

Kay Lon To Extend Young Drivers Project

Current F1RWRS star driver Kay Lon, already supporting two drivers in the F2RWRS will extent his supporting reach to the F3RWRS. Lon announced his intention to get cockpits for two different rookies:

Tomo Kazama (16) from Mogami, Japan: This young woman has not yet made much of an impact in professional motorsport. After carting until 15, Lon arranged a drive in the Austrian Formula 3 Cup with Jenichen Motorsport. She only finished seventh in the championship despite scoring three wins, two of which came in Spa, since she tends to drive extremely aggressive and lose points in unneeded spins or incidents. Lon told the media that she has all the talents needed to impress him. He believes Kazama can do good things in the new series.

Renaldo Jiménez (16) from La Maravilla, Tropico: It is widely known that Jiménez's family is not quite as popular with El Presidente as Alberto Cara's is. Rumours say that Jiménez was forced to enter racing in order to avoid his family, known as leaders of the capitalistic fraction of the island, being arrested. Neither Jiménez nor Lon were willing to say anything about these rumours. Lon just said that Renaldo, despite only having driven - although successfully - at different noticeable charity carting events and the soon-to-be Tropico Grand Prix F1RWRS car twice, is a capable driver and may even become a F1RWRS race winner in a few years.

Jones Signs Swerts For F3RWRS Team

Autosport has recently learnt that Sammy Jones has finalised a second driver for his F3RWRS team for the upcoming 2014 season. Belgian Eric Swerts will partner the already-signed Terry Hawkin at the Jones Racing team. Swerts will drive the #8 car and brings with him personal sponsorship from Quick and Jouets Broze. Team owner Sammy Jones had this to say about his most recent aquisition,

"Absolutely delighted that we could give young Eric a seat at the team, I have it on good knowledge that he'll be a very strong contender for this year, and I hope he'll gel with the team quickly, he already seems a very likeable character. Alongside Terry I think Jones Racing have two very exciting future prospects that people should keep an eye on. I think both will be in the F1RWRS before too long."

Jones also announced that his potential third slot, the #78 car, would in fact be cancelled, and that the team would focus on a two car effort for 2014 with a view to moving to three cars in 2015.

"We want to make sure we do things properly in our first year before making such a big commitment to the series" said Jones.

JLD signs Jiménez for F3RWRS tilt

JLD Motorsport, as part of a collaboration with MRT, has today signed Tropican Renaldo Jiménez to drive in the new F3RWRS. The 16 year old will partner fellow teenager Antonio Reyna-Sanchez, the younger brother of former F1RWRS and current IndyCar driver Vidal Reyna-Sanchez. Both of them have added incentive to perform in 2014 as whoever does the better job may be in line to replace Mitchell Macklin in the F2RWRS should he move up to MRT's F1RWRS team in 2014.

[Warren Hughes]

PPR offer drive to Kazama

The Pemberton Prospec Racing F3RWRS team have offered a race drive to Japanese driver Tomo Kazama. Although he was keen to stress that no deal had yet been signed, a spokesman for PPR said that Kazama was "a real talent with plenty of raw speed and an aggressive style which should complement our number 1 driver Michael Cameron very well." The spokesman went on to say that the team were looking forward to working with Kazama's mentor Kay Lon, who he described as 'a towering figure in the world of F1RWRS', and that they hoped the 16-year-old from Mogami would prove to be 'more banzai than bonsai'.

In other news, the team has also confirmed its use of the numbers 37 and 38 for the upcoming season.
