Just a suggestion, you could always enter under a pretend name, i used a fake name and nationality for a while, personally it wasn't quite the same, but still possible, and i'm sure plenty of teams would be willing to take you on if you asked, there are slots free right now if you want one :)

Good idea! I'd keep the rest of my details the same, and use my personal logo on my helmet* (and maybe on the car, if possible**) :)

Actually that would be good for next season to try it out, as I have more free time from the end of June^.

*I need to redo my helmet
**As it's in a vector format I can recolour my logo to suit the team colours
^However I will be busy until then with exams etc, so don't expect any significant activity.

These comments aren't negative; it's just that you continued to ask for people to use your livery when you were told that teams tend to stick to their own style and sponsorship.

I'm sorry if you find our comments 'negative', but constantly going on about your livery did get quite annoying. I recall we broke the news in the kindest way possible, but you kept plugging it until we had to be firm.

I still maintain that you should be active as a driver/tester in the series to have a team on the list, because the other two guys other than yourself that aren't in the series and have teams on the list have, well, just buggered off.

+1. Can I just say that I don't appreciate being quoted and then being accused of being negative towards somebody. I also don't appreciate you threatening to report people that you think are being negative, which I assume, by the mere fact you quoted me, you mean me. The truth of the matter is that you haven't been active since you didn't get your own way and now don't like it that people have been calling for your team to be removed from the list.

@ AlexF1man, are you by any chance Alex Clarke?

Thanks, maybe I should spend some boost trying to get some points (no team will ever give me a seat if I'm last in championship).

If you are worried about using your own surname, then use a pseudonym. I know they have been used by others in the past, in fact, still are :)

On another note. Congratulations to my two drivers in the Brazilian GP. A fantastic 1-2 result for us, taking pole and fastest lap bonus points too. Awesome show! And little old moi taking the win in Friday practice as well ;)

EDIT: I almost forgot to say a big thank you to all the drivers who applied for the test seat at AMR :) As you all know Daniel Thomas was the successful applicant :)

Looks like Alex "Whateverhisnameis" has attitude before he even sits in a test drive for any team. Looks like he would be a handful for any team owner....;-)
Seriously though, we all remember you bombarding the GPGSL with pics of your livery, and then endless offers for teams to use your livery. That was waaaaaaay back in the past. And this would be about the first time you have shown any interest in the thread all season.
And like i said a few pages ago, just like Incident 2k9, i think anyone on the reserve team list should have to be either in a test seat or race seat. If that driver happens to lose their drive, well....perhaps they would then be required to secure a seat somewhere for the next season, to keep themselves on this list

I agree with Glen, Stu and Jake. However, since it's not on the regulations currently, no one can judge Alex's inactivity because nobody told him that he should get involved to keep his team on the list. My view is that this should be added as an extension to the "Activity" section of the regulations from Season 8 onwards. Another topic to discuss in the other thread.

In other news, can someone add a link for the trackpack? The current one is dead. Thanks a lot in advance :-)

Thank you Carlitox - if it's not in the rules I can't be judged for it. However all I can say is that I have many exams in the next few weeks so I might not post again for a while.

Whilst I agree that the rules do not state prospective owners should be active I would have thought a certain amount of common sense and courtesy could, and probably should be applied as well. Namely, if you want to be in the series, you have to show interest.

With the greatest respects to the GPGSL Governing Body could I please suggest that this is something that is put at the top of their agend next time they meet. The simple reason for this is that there is an active and interested prospective team owner below Alexf1man on the list and if it were me I would feel very aggreived at somebody who isn't active being offered a slot in the series before I was.

Regarding the above discussion, I think that the activity rules can only be brought into play when actually participating in the league. The gentleman concerned is welcome to remain on the GPGSL team's waiting list, and when he takes possession of a team, the activity rules would then commence.
However, as stated, some common courtesy could be shown, by taking an interest in the series, and that is something that the GPGSL has no desire at this point in time to enforce.
The next round of GPGSL talks will be scheduled at the close of S7, and as I'm sure you all know, we have much to discuss and I suspect that we will be making some changes to be implemented for S8. Your submissions to the existing GPGSL rule thread have been duly noted and we will discuss the options available to us in due course.
The GPGSL is I believe, looking for a new member to take over the publication of the league championship tables, your league needs you. Step up if you would like to be a part of the GPGSL and help out with some of the work that must be done to bring all of you what you have come to expect from the GPGSL.
Thanks.

Meanwhile, back at the track...... and on topic.
Southern Cross Racing is looking to update it's livery, as the paint is probably too heavy and is causing the team to remain firmly embedded mid-field. So, the team is looking for a go-fast livery, using it's existing sponsorship. Any takers for this rather tiresome job? :-)

This mildly skilled painter would entertain having a crack at the SCR livery. Feel free to PM me.... however, I know that there are some very talented painters out there, who may be able to produce something far better!

MAC Racing Announcment

The team at MAC Racing are proud to announce that as of
today we have finalized our driver line up for Seaoson 8.

With the announcement that ScalaGP are calling it a day,
we have jumped on a young prospect that we believe has
a really bright future in the MAC Racing organization. 

As team boss I had to get on the front foot and approach
him before he was snapped up by one of the bigger
teams and I am so glad we were able to obtain his signature.

So without further ado I am pleased and proud to
announce the signing of Gianluigi Silvestre to our young and
developing team.

With this signing MAC Racing have now completed our driver
line up and it looks like...

Race Driver 1 - Chris Hinz
Race Driver 2 - Adam Davies
Test Driver 1 - Gianluigi Silvestre
Test Driver 2 - Nathan McGregor

Good race in Brazil and more points, only if we could qualify better.
Atm I am without a cockpit for the next season. I'd be happy to stay as a tester with the team that follows Scala, if the next team owner is interested.

Alpha Motorsports Statement

Alpha Motorsports will not be taking its option to fill the Season 8 vacancy. Team boss Ed Greenhalgh said that, "Unfortunately I don't have to time to run or set up a team at the moment, so I will continue driving." The team will instead return to the end of the queue to allow for a potential future re-entry to the series.

I'd make you a livery if you're desperate, Mal. I can only start on that late June, though, as I've got my A-Levels...

If you're not happy with my activity can you please send me private messages instead of a public one in future? Thanks

I can have a go in mid June, if you can let me know which sponsors (and send copies of the logos across) as well as a colour scheme.
