:Seriously though, you are not second on the waiting list. Salamander's ahead of you on the list as well and with the last of the great team 'purges' complete, I suspect the entry list will be far more stable for years to come.

== Aston Martin to buy out ArrowTech in 2016 ==
 
 
 
Let's cut to the chase. Compared to 2013, 2014 was a relative disappointment for the team and, despite merging with the cash-strapped but promising Acuri Autosport squad for 2015, they're not as financially sound as many other teams on the grid. They were forced to let Mignolet go to DGNgineering and in his place, they were forced to sign a pay driver in Al-Faisel. Meanwhile, Aston Martin, fresh off their 2014 F2RWRS success and having signed Hydook and Jones Racing as customers for 2015, are looking at entering the F1RWRS in the near future and the Fox has been seen in the Aston Martin garage many times during pre-season testing, allegedly to keep track of Tomo Kazama's performance as Bosevic's potential successor at ArrowTech. Put two and two together and, both from a financial and a competitive standpoint, such a move would make sense for both parties. [[User:Wizzie|Wizzie]] 11:10, 12 August 2012 (EST)
 
 
 
:Although they were forced to sign Al Faisal, he is one of the best pay drivers around, although he's no match for Mignolet. Maybe Aston Martin's entry into the F1RWRS will start a landslide of manufacturer involvement? [[User:Pasta maldonado|Pasta maldonado]] 16:40, 16 August 2012 (EST)
 
 
 
::That reminds me, I have a plan for Autodynamics in 2016 that could be relevant to this. Wait and see. (EuroBrun)
 
 
 
:::The only reason why ArrowTech didn't get a contract with Mignolet was because Dagnall made an offer first and quickly signed with them. Although they did have to resort to signing Al-Faisal to a contract, it makes absolute sense as he brings a boatload of money to the team. Who would refuse an offer from someone walking into your factory and offering free money on the basis that he gets the second seat? And unless the F2RWRS goes into a managerial mess and/or Aston takes everyone to the cleaners, I doubt they will enter the F1RWRS. (Isn't the waiting list a mile long anyways?) [[User:Jeremy|Jeremy]] 22:36, 16 August 2012 (EST)
 
 
 
:I'll call this '''jossed''' since ArrowTech is the 4th richest team on the grid, behind MRT, DGN and Sunshine. I think I'm done here. [[User:Jeremy|Jeremy]] 09:28, 20 August 2012 (EST)
 
 
 
:::Except of course that being rich prior to the market opening means bugger all. Now that there are about 5 or 6 top-line engines all of which can be competitive enough to win races, it will instead become the best developed team on the grid who will win, and that means having a lot of credits left during the season to spend on upgrades. This is why I believe Gillet will be the team to beat. ArrowTech have a lot of re-building to do, and that's going to be hard with just 1000 credits.

== F1CC - what was it actually? ==
+
== Masta Valsattis Will Get the McLaren Drive in 1998 ==
I'm currently doing the pages for the F1CC, and a discussion at the first WMG came to the conclusion that the F1CC was actually a championship between [[F1RWRS]] drivers and guest drivers, with the others being normal people who stumbled on the server. I've got a suggestion relative to that third group of people who only appeared in this series. Instead of just stumbling on the series, how about the idea that the [[F1RWRS]] actually had a contest, where if you managed to connect to the server (a difficult task), you had the right to compete with the big boys, with the first few accepting the deal competing in the championship against the big boys?
 
  
Additionally, the video-game theory explains the fact that Roda was pure crap in only this championship: he has absolutely zero skill at computer games. [[User:Tommykl|Tommykl]] 22:28, 3 September 2012 (EST)

[[Rory McAllister]] is already sick of [[James Davies (F1RGP2C driver)|James Davies]] and Don Rennis. If he has a few more catastrophes, it is likely that Rory will leave the team. I think that McLaren will sign [[Masta Valsattis]], who has performed better than most drivers in a Ligier/Prost! This has to do the with the [[F1RGP2C]], by the way.

On the surface, it appears that Dagnall tends to avoid non-championship races in order to make full use of the extra 'down time' he gets over his rivals. However, he did run in one non-title race - The 2013 Bud 500. And what happened there, you may ask? The champion lasted all of two corners before being involved in a major first-lap crash that nearly sent him into the catchfence with 30-odd cars trying to dodge the mayhem behind. Rumour has it that after the accident, Mark developed a fear of oval racing and privately swore never to attend non-championship events ever again, as he felt they weren't worth the risk. Hence, why he has never done a non-championship race since. [[User:Wizzie|Wizzie]] 23:55, 15 January 2013 (EDST)

Wild mass guessing can be about silly season (changes regarding teams and/or drivers), race results (what will happen at a particular race), something unexplained (in the background, for instance, where someone goes after leaving a team) etc. It works like the one in TV Tropes.

Rory McAllister is already sick of James Davies and Don Rennis. If he has a few more catastrophes, it is likely that Rory will leave the team.

Mark Dagnall will never return to Indianapolis after his 2013 crash

On the surface, it appears that Dagnall tends to avoid non-championship races in order to make full use of the extra 'down time' he gets over his rivals. However, he did run in one non-title race - The 2013 Bud 500. And what happened there, you may ask? The champion lasted all of two corners before being involved in a major first-lap crash that nearly sent him into the catchfence with 30-odd cars trying to dodge the mayhem behind. Rumour has it that after the accident, Mark developed a fear of oval racing and privately swore never to attend non-championship events ever again, as he felt they weren't worth the risk. Hence, why he has never done a non-championship race since. Wizzie 23:55, 15 January 2013 (EDST)
