Mitie Aviation undecided: Drivers may make difference.
Mr.Alexander has recieved two good offers from Holden and Audi to supply them with engines for their inaugural season in F2RWRS, but is unsure which deal to take. "Both engines seem good and powerful. But we don't know what to do."
Mitie Aviation have already promoted Englishman Ashley Lilly to the F2 team, but the second seat is available for any driver. "We want to help younger drivers grow into professional racers. So if we were to take on an Australian or a German driver, that may swing the decision with the engines."

Dagnall pulls out of F2RWRS

Chris Dagnall has announced today that his team will not compete in the 2015 season of F2RWRS. "Last year was quite experimental and we frankly prefer to concentrate on our F1RWRS effort. We´ll try to land Shioya a drive somewhere to complete his testing duties at DGNgineering". It was quite a poor year for KitKat warriors, with only one win into account for their Japanese driver.

Autosport wrote:Commission promotes Dofasco to F2RWRS

The F1RWRS Commission has announced that Dofasco Racing will have a team in the F2RWRS next year after the shock withdrawal of the KitKat Warriors team by Chris Dagnall. Dofasco was the first of the reserve teams that missed an entry during the first round of selections but will now have a slot for 2015. Rumour has it this'll mean the engine tender will be opened up to a fourth manufacturer which solves the F2RWRS Commissioner Don Rennis' growing problem of keeping all the current interested manufacturers happy while this also means that only one of the existing teams will enter pre-qualifying next year instead of two as planned. Neither Commissioner Rennis or Dofasco team owner Grzegosz Sobczyk were available for comment.

by **Phoenix** » 25 Feb 2012, 09:33

OK, let's put things into perspective then. If my offer doesn't help Mitie, then how does Holden's offer (or Lancia's to other teams, for that matter) help them? I can give them the same units Aeroracing will use, as well as personalised technical attention, and an Audi R8 for the team principal. What else do you guys want?

Website · by **Wizzie** » 25 Feb 2012, 10:21

Well, if Mite reject Audi and go with Holden instead, then Dofasco pretty much have to pick Audi anyway which means everyone's happy* :lol:

2014 F2RWRS Molson Light Canadian Grand Prix - Qualifying

Even though the race was effectively a dead-rubber as far as the championship was concerned, over 70 000 Canadians showed up for qualifying to cheer on their man Tommy Nash in the first ever race for any RWRS category in Canada. The Winnipeg local didn't disappoint as he ended up a competitive 5th on the grid of the race. The usual suspects of Alberto Cara and Mitchell Macklin took out the front row but Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen in 3rd proved that their really is no driving like contract driving as rumour has it that the Dutchman was the first to find out that the KitKat team was pulling out at the end of the year. On the other side of the coin, Nash's teammate Jason Hamilton fell victim of the closeness of the field in 18th as did Alessandro Marchesi in 21st which was probably the worst thing he could possibly do as the speculation of a move to champions MRT next year picks up pace.

1. A. Cara (Beirao): 1:23.808 (1 point)
2. M. Macklin (MRT): +0.163
3. B. van Nieuwenhuijzen (KitKat): +0.172

2014 F2RWRS Molson Light Canadian Grand Prix - Race

POSITIVES:

Rising Ashes: Finally, the Rising Ashes team boss Phoenix McAllister had something to smile about when he overruled the team's strategist and put both his guys on one stop strategies. His drivers responded by actually being useful for once and was rewarded with 2nd (Tanner Jason) and 4th (Niko Bellic) which could have been third after holding on for so long from the chasing pack with worn tyres. The points pretty much guaranteed that the team won't fall into the midst of pre-qualifying next year.

Marco Bizzarri: Like the Rising Ashes pair, Bizzarri decided to stop being anonymous and let his driving do the talking for once and as a result was rewarded with a small handful of points while, like the Rising Ashes crew, would help the team in their attempts to get out of pre-qualifying for 2015.

Dave Anderson: If one's ever wondered how much bad luck one man can have in a year, then Dave Anderson's 2014 season is probably right there with the best (or worst) of them as he's been caught up in other people's problems more often than not. However, he avoided it for once and ended up scoring a point for the faltering Simpson Motorsport team as the battle at the bottom half of the field heats up.

NEGATIVES:

Alberto Cara: Dear oh dear. The one man who probably had the pace to take it to Mitchell Macklin that day ended up being Canada's most wanted man as he collided with the local hero Tommy Nash at pit exit after the Tropican's first pitstop, eliminating both of them from certain podium positions and possibly even out of contention from victory, pissing off all 100 000 Canadians that had showed up for the race. The fact a wheel fell off his wagon soon afterwards was almost poetic justice in the eyes of the entire nation of Canada.

Falik Arrows: Neither of their drivers did much wrong in Canada. It's just that neither of them did much right either. Rosco Vantini was surprisingly quiet all race on a day where he lost 2nd place in the championship to Marie Simon with a pointless 10th place finish. Yuko Katayama's race was equally as quiet as her teammate's and therefore equally as pointless.

Michelin: Two punctures for Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen and Andrej Kremnicky, a suspension failure for Anton Bosevic which was later attributed to a left-front tyre ripping itself to shread and Cara's disappearing wheel trick put down to a bad vibration from the front of his car, presumably by the tires, meant that Reject of the Race for the French tire manufacturer was merely a formality.

Results:
1. M. Macklin (MRT): 1h 06m 19.644
2. T. Jason (Rising Ashes): +12.087

Reject of the Race: Michelin - Brings tires basically made of cheese, with predictable consequences

You may not have Illustrator though so use an online file conversion site like Zamzar to change the file into a .tga filetype which you can then open in Paint.NET which is an entirely free program available legally online, just Google the name. Hope that helps!

With the F1RWRS Commission expected to announce 4 new manufacturers for the F2RWRS in 2015 and Mitie Aviation Racing rumoured to be in the midst of negotiation with Holden for 2015, MRT boss Daniel Melrose has expressed his surprise that there hasn't been more interest for Holden by the new teams. "Now, I will be the first to admit that Mark Skaife and I aren't friends and probably never will be but I am simply astounded that nobody has given them a proper go. Out of all the manufacturers, they easily have the most experience when working with V8 engines with decades of experience both from the General Motors Group and their own products, I would have imagined that teams, both existing and new, would have been queuing around the block for their products. While we currently have a contract with BMW for the foreseeable future, I would tell the guys back at BMW HQ in Munich that their engines should be just as good as the ones Holden are planning to make if not even better because they will be right up there from the get go."

Scuderia Alitalia have surprised many onlookers by giving Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen the second Scuderia Alitalia seat for 2015. The Dutchman's promotion means Gianluigi Pazzini has been shuffled to the second RonDen Racing Engineering seat in a tie up between car manufacturers Lancia and Zastava.

While Pazzini was the stand-out rookie from Alitalia's Giovanile Squadra, scoring the most points for their new F3RWRS team, van Nieuwenhuijzen has mostly struggled in his half-season at Kit-Kat Warriors in F2RWRS. However, some good performances in the last two races for the Dutchman has ensured a full time drive with his employers in 2015.

Anyways:

2014 F2RWRS Federal Express Indianapolis 100 - Qualifying

Chris Dagnall can't seem to do anything right in the F2RWRS right now. Just as he pulls his merry men out of the series, van Nieuwenhuijzen pulls out the drives of his life (which should have been rewarded with a podium at Canada had Michelin not been so incompetent) and Hansuke Shioya confirms his brilliant pace on low-downforce circuits to score his second pole in 2 years aon quite possibly the biggest stage of them all - Indianapolis. Joining Shioya on the front row will be the returning Terry Hawkin for the last race at Civil War racing. Rosco Vantini got the upper hand on Marie Simon and Alberto Cara in the battle for 2nd in the championship as he was the only one of the trio to qualify in the top 10 while both Rising Ashes cars came crashing back down to earth with a thud with Tanner Jason beating teammate Niko Bellic in qualifying for once. Not that anyone cared as they were mired in rows 10 and 11.
