The Parma Corse name is dead, because I've just had a brilliant idea. New team name and livery coming soon...

MRT will like to report absolutely nothing of interest. Except I've just come up with the brilliant idea of having our own F1 Rejects LFS server (on the demo version of course

)

The demo version doesn't have the FO8, just the FBMW.

Mastercard Lancia begins RoLFS venture

Mastercard has become a major partner of Il Barone Rampante for the 2015 Rejects of LFS season, partnering with car manufacturer Lancia to form the Italian marque's works effort in the series. After IBR ran a privateer Lancia effort last season under the Parma Corse banner, this year the car maker has stepped up its involvement, and a new title sponsor has been brought in to match. Pirelli will be the supplier of tyres to the team, in line with all other Il Barone Rampante teams in racing. Former F2RWRS driver Marco Bizzarri has been brought in to spearhead the campaign, with promising rookie Marcel Agyemang-Badu alongside him.

Truth be told, that livery isn't made by me nor Kostas, he just added the Lancia and Pirelli logos and changed the car numbers on an existing MasterCard Lola skin made by someone else.

Now if we're going to talk about our favorite liveries, the Hydook one is indeed impressive. I also like the Martini livery made by Kostas, and from my own works I think the ZimSport is the best.

Hey kostas, if you're going to design a ZimSport livery, actually make it a ZimSport livery, not HRT. :roll:

Hell, half the sponsors on there aren't even on the HRT F1RWRS livery!

Speaking of ZimSport, is Renato Bulku confirmed as their second driver? And if so, does his (minor) sponsorship from Durres Special and Albtelecom show up on the car (I've already got PNGs of the logos, so it'll be quick to add them on the car).

Bulku is confirmed at ZimSport, and his sponsors will be added to the car, on the top of the nose.
Actually, do you think your could Valvoline logos as well while we're at it? Maybe on top of the sidepods. And ignore what kostas says, the livery was brilliant before and brilliant now

Interview with Renato Bulku, Radio Televezioni Shqiptar wrote:Interviewer: I'm joined here now by Renato Bulku who has signed up to drive for ZimSport in Rejects of LFS this season. Renato, welcome.

Renato Bulku: Thank you Erjon, it's a pleasure to be here.

Interviewer: Renato, you're going to be driving in Rejects of LFS this season, but you had originally tried to get a seat in F3RWS. Are you disappointed not to be driving in F3WRS?

Renato Bulku: Not at all. My aim was to secure a seat in order to get on the ladder to F1RWS. I have done that, and can begin climbing the motorsport ladder.

Interviewer: And how do you feel to have signed with ZimSport?

Renato Bulku: Very positive. ZimSport is one of the best teams outside F1RWS, and I know the team can be champions this year. The boss, John Zimmer, is going to be a great mentor for me, and I am sure he will pass much wisdom on to me.

Interviewer: What are your hopes for this season?

Renato Bulku: Like every driver, I am hoping to become champion of Rejects of LFS, but I know it will be tough and that I will have to work hard. As long as I contribute to the team effort and drive as well as I know I can, I am sure that I can win races this season and build experience. But every race the challenge will be qualifying.

Interviewer: Do you have any final words?

Renato Bulku: I would like to say hello to my father, Isli Bulku, who is currently recovering in hospital from an industrial accident. I would also like to thank my sponsors Albtelecom and Durres Special Filter, whose support has been crucial to getting me here today. And I would like to thank my fan for all his encouragement.

Interviewer: Renato Bulku, thank you for speaking to us.

Renato Bulku: Thank you for having me Erjon.

Just a reminder post that this isn't dead, I'm just waiting for the 2014 F1RWRS season to finish before I start running the pre-season tests.

Also reminding BlindCaveSalamander that if he wants a team in the RWRS universe, there's an opening in this series, and Phoenix that he hasn't yet chosen his tyres. At the moment you can still choose from Pirelli, Goodyear and Dunlop.

Il Barone Rampante is looking to form a second team in co-ownership with another organsiation, with Diego Mauricio Batistuta in one car, and the other vacant for choosing by the team partner. Would such a move be permitted by the RoLFS Commission?

I would support this if Red Bull World Race Team were allowed to do the same.

Well, the rule goes like this:

Nuppiz wrote:However, each user can only control one team at a time, unless given a special permission by the RoLFS Commission (i.e. me).

In this case, I could allow both of you to be "part owners" of another team, meaning that both of you must find another member who is the "majority owner" and has the ultimate decision power (i.e. you cannot overrule his/her decisions, only make suggestions). Of course, this means that there would be 26 entries, while the grid size stays at 20. And I'd have to increase the amount of teams each engine supplier may supply. But as long as this doesn't lead to every current team having "second teams" (44 cars battling for 20 grid positions would be quite ridiculous), I'll allow you to have second entries as long as they conform to the conditions above.

With the above model, any new teams would still technically be owned by another member, with current team owners only being in a non-majority co-operation with them. The new team owners would still have the power to hire and fire any drivers they want, decide on upgrades, engines and tyres etc. If the other owner disagreed, he would have little power to stop these decisions, other than pull out his support completely.

The vote is now 2 for, 2 against, and I'll go with the majority.

In that case Red Bull World Race Team will drop their plans to run a second team.

On the basis of those rules, I withdraw my request, it makes the whole concept pointless.

Although let it be known that if any new team that enters from here on in requires a driver, Diego Mauricio Batistuta is available for hire.

I guess that's a decision then. To clarify, from now on the one-team rule means that I'll only allow a member to take control of another, existing team temporarily if someone is unable to use the Internet for some time, and they both agree on it.

BlindCaveSalamander can still found a new team, but he must do it by himself.

by **Phoenix** » 10 May 2012, 23:29

The tyres? I'll choose Goodyear.

@eurobrun: Your cars were sabotaged a bit in the latter half of the season, but for the most part their reduced success was caused by other teams catching up (and in the case of Ultimate, getting past you).

kostas22 wrote:Is there any way to implement driver skill into LFS? It was a bit boring having the teams lining up one behind the other and there being no variation from drivers in the same team. The AI was too similar and engine power was the only thing differentiating performance.

Unfortunately there isn't; all AI drivers use the same skill setting, which is whatever I happen to choose at the startup (usually the highest "Pro" setting, as the others tend to make the AI look like Sunday drivers). If everyone is given similar cars, the lap times will also become very similar, with a random variaton of only 0.5 seconds (depending on the legth of the track), at most. This is why I originally introduced the upgrade system, but with it becoming so flawed now I have to look for alternative ways to run the series. I can't use other games for this, because LFS is currently the only proper racing game on my computer that A) I currently own and B) works properly.

Speaking of using 'other games', I remember Pointrox (the orgainzer of the old LFS cup) attempted to move the series to rFactor due to 'livery' problems (and proably AI issues too). That turned out to be a disaster when Pointrox mistakenly deleted his whole rFactor folder, collapsing the series. :cry:

I would have suggested you to use xkoranate but that would be A) boring without race graphics and B) it would defeat the name.

Scoring points in races. Or hiring drivers with previous RWRS experience as your racing drivers before the season starts.

Does anyone want to hire Tristan Jung as a test driver? I'm pretty sure he can manage his time traveling trips to fit in some test sessions...
