WIRE: Kawasie to drive Toro Rosso for Season 6

Just minutes ago Red Bull Racing held a press conference confirming that Season 3 champion Yuuji Kawasie has signed with their 2nd team Scuderia Toro Rosso for GTP F1 Season 6.

Kawasie had been appealing to Renault for a high-profile drive in Season 6 becuase of their lag in signing World Champion Bruno Domingues up for a 2nd season.

"Well, any sane team would've had him resigned by the time he was eleventybillion points up on Davidson with about 5 races to go," he reasoned.

However, Renault flatly turned him down and signed Domingues for Season 6 hours after the end of season party. They also released a press statement stating that "they didn't want no lousy flash-in-the-pan driver who scored only one podium and 1/10 of the leader's point total last season."

Luckily, Kawasie was able to score some Renault-brand crying towels.

After being turned down Kawasie quickly struck a deal with Toro Rosso, since both sides were in desperate need of a drive. A seat at Super Aguri was also open and rather appealing, but Kawasie argued that "In order to get more attention to this sport I think having a 11-team grid would be a good idea. And besides, last time I went to a supposedly-bad team that did good the last year [Midland] I totally botched the season. So that's why I've signed with Toro Rosso."

Critics may be quick to point out that it is entirely possible that Kawasie may be the lone driver at Toro Rosso this season but he is not worried about that situation, arguing that it will place more of the team's focus on him instead. He has had vast experience with single-car teams in his adventures in other F1 leagues where the other driver promptly keeled over after the first practice session and became a useless dummy.

BREAKING NEWS: After being informed that his old seat in Midland was in fact, still open, and that there was a teammate available, Kawasie replied, "Well I wish I had considered that before I cut all this red tape. I've signed the deal so I don't much want to go back now. I wish Reynolds better luck at Midland than what I had."

(Has no-one told him both Toro Rosso seats are taken?)
 
MASON HAPPY AT BMW

After a terrible season with Toyota F1, Former driver Luke Mason had nothing but praise when interviewed today in his nice white and blue BMW race suit. It was Mason's first ever team change in the series and he now wondered why he didnt do it sooner

"Well a new team brings along new challanges, but here at BMW these challanges include how to make our car win races, which is why we are all here. Last year i felt the focus was 'how do we secretly make Mason look like an idiot', and well they succeeded. I mean god take away those other red and white kamikazee pilots (cheep shot) and i was the joke of the season, and im not going to let that happen again."

Kawasie resigns with Midland after PR fiasco

Kawasie, who in a press conference states that he "has no idea what the heck he's doing anymore," has resigned with Season 5 team Midland after Toro Rosso notified him that, in fact, they don't have open seats.

Luckily Kawasie's collection of team-brand crying towels continues to increase in proportion to the number of stupid advances he makes on teams.

We will see how this blatant insanity settles out and if Kawasie's performance will be affected by the team at the first race in Bahrain.

(how about those 30-second pitstops?)
 
Domingues, Haswell, Carl Audet and Dubois I think account for 4
 
Okay, unless anyone objects I think I’m going to open up the Super Aguri seat in the BATracer forum. Thoughts?
 
I'm happy enough running in the Super Aguri by myself - we can keep it just to GTP and associated friends / family.
 
wow 21 drivers, we might get a full field. Shame all you people are gonna see is a scarlet red shape racing away into the distance.
 
I have advertised the final place in the Batracer forum. Hopefully not long now.
