GP2championship falls appart After Jonathan Edgar gave the control of the league to the self appointed directors, the league literally has fallen appart withing a month. This comes as no surprice to this writer as even before that time there were major allegations of cheating throughout the league, and I got banned again for expressing my oppinion. When control was seized and checks on ald files were run, it was found that the allegations of cheating were true, or more exactly that Jonathan never bothered to check the files properly before posting them. The buracratic barrier created by this destroyed the league. Maybe it's good that cheating was, after all that time, discovered in the league, but defenetly it was much better when Jonathan ran the league, with his firm hands on the steering wheel of gp2champ, well you deside. The only other competitive league that remains is LFRS, which already exists for more then 3 years and doesn't have any administrative barriers, maybe gp2champ could've learned something from all this? A-1 my comment[qual] Well, nothing can describe the discust of knowing that you must have qualified 3rd into realisation of qualifying fifth, purely because some new team has desided to enter the league and spoil the F3000 party. I mean, I have nothing against new teams entering, but for god's sake, not half way through the season! The purely dissapointing factor in that is that you think you're competing against just two drivers(in this case Rizwan and Steph), and then suddently realise that it's another team out there who desided to enter the division. It's like you're at the party enjoying yourself and suddenly you see someone breaking in and drinking all the bear, the only two questions and a statement that come to mind are -"Who the f... are you and what the f... are you doing here?, and get the f... out of here!". This kind of shit is just pissing me off. Coming back to earth, I think I did a pretty good session, but the reality is that I probably won't make the race, cause I have exams running from 24th Oct to 2nd Nov, so I'm only trying to pick up the numbers. In any case I think that my time of 1.07.521 was pretty much what the car was capeble of with only a few tenth here and there, there' no way I could've gotten the pole, no matter how much I wanted to. Oh well. Live goes on. Press conference - what's with drivers?     As you may know, I've been trying to do the press conference for top 3 drivers in qualifying and the race in F3000, well it seems that I've hit a brick wall, as apperantly the normally top 3 placed drivers in qualifying and the race - being Steph, Botond and Rizwan - don't want to be interviewed!  I have no problems with Rizwan; Steph takes some time, but when I contacted Botond I fell into the bigggest circle of idiots there is. After I finally got a reply from Jonathan - after asking him for the correct e-mail to contact Botond - I sent him(Botond) the question for the press conference, explaining the reason I'm contacting him, and the list of questions.        The following day I get a reply, and it's from Ramiro Piana (FVee) [A 13 year old guy who has absolutly no idea of what the hell is going on].!!! Never mind that. What's more interesting, is that in the reply he crossed out the whole section where I said explained that the questions are for F3000 drivers and in particular that it's only for Botond, and he starts to talk about his own FVee qualifying. "O.K." I thought, "never mind". I send him a reply explaining everything to him in biggest detail possible. I get a reply from him stating that I'm a rassist cause I only want to interview top 3 drivers. Just a question, did I just misunderstand something or the guy is the biggest f...head on this planet??? I mean accusing someone of being racist just like that. of cource, you know me, you can guess what I said in the next e-mail.       In the meantime of sending of all this e-mails, I've managed to contact David Winder through Rizwan Nannoh and I managed to talk to him(David) on ICQ. Well, David was very formal and he reassured me that he will resolve the issue with Botond and that I get a reply from him in the very near future. Well, it's been 4 days already, and I know Botond was online cause Rizwan told me that they were comparing times for Austria.       Conclussion I've learned from all of this? Never try to do anything that would do something good to the league, simply because there are people out there that simply won't let you. An excellent example is Botond. My GB race [Race] (after the official results)  Well, here at Silverstone I've managed to finish 4th from 17th. I can honestly say that I didn't really expect to finish anywhere else. I hoped to be on the podium, but knowing that you're a second off in qualifying and starting 17th I really coudn't have ve hoped for anything else. I think it's a pretty poor results, but I mean, I did the best the car was capeble of, and I achieved the best result I was good for. I was happy for Gabriel Garvaldis(F1) for scoring his first podiuum for Graminger, the guy tries hard, and he can't get the results, so it was a good race for him. I'm also happy to see Vantoil and Diego(F3) finish in 9th and 10th place in the race, I think it was the best result for him. I'm still a bit disatointed with 2 non submitions from F1, and F3000, I think the team should really work on that.  My GB race [race](Prior to results release)  Well, honestly, I think that I could've done a cleaner race, if not for a better one. Backmarkers really made me loose about 5-6 sec., and mainly cause they were trying to overtake each other into fast corners, you all know what happens then... I'm happpy with my race and I'm quetly confident of getting a good result here. I mean it can't get worst then 17th right? I can honestly say that I did my best and I can only gain maybe another 1sec maximum. I did do one stopper for the race and I had a wing settings of 13-1  Marico News archive issue 1: 23/04/99 - 04/06/99 Marico News archive issue 2: 04/06/99 - 27/07/99 Marico News archive issue 3: 27/07/99 - 09/10/99 Marico News archive issue 4: 09/10/99 - 29/02/00 Marico News archive issue 5: 29/02/00 - 28/06/00 Marico News archive issue 6: 28/06/00 - 05/10/00
