When asked for a comment on the sale, Airshifter replied "We found some start up team desperate for a wind tunnel but they had money in hand and purchased our unit site unseen. Taking several of our female hospitality experts and grid girls much have aided in closing the deal, as we commanded a price of several million dollars for a desk top fan, some baked beans, and some brussel sprouts." :)

Not being one to overlook proper use of resources, Airshifter now has a number of the hospitality staff working extra hours on gathering information from other teams.

It was rumoured today that Steveaki13 team boss of the Aki's Hedgehog Racing Team has been trying to off load the teams new financial black hole or Wind Tunnel to other teams towards the back of the grid, after buying the said wreck while at a post season party last season.

The tunnel was purchased from Team Loco Americano at a party last year, but recent offers made by Steveaki13 seem to suggest a desperate attempt to off load the disaster of a purchase onto fellow FGP2014 teams.

Quoted by an unofficial source while drunk at a pre season party Steveaki13 said: "That airshifter is a crook. His teams a dissssssgrace. He sold me that wind tunnel as a state of the art machine.... or was it a state of the fart machine? I forget, anyway we will do all we can to catch his team up this season. :angryfire ;)

I went down the McLaren route last year and it got me nowhere. Was about to do it again when I noticed someone had picked the exact same team as me. Maybe if I went for a mixed bag it would make me a midfielder instead of a backmarker...

KATZ Racing
Driver 1 - Nico Rosberg
Driver 2 - Daniel Kvyat
Reserve - Antonio Felix da Costa
Chassis - McLaren
Engine - Williams Mercedes
Bonus - Italy

The spare million will be for my lobbying activities.

So what can we do with the dwindling number of entries?

Seems every year we have less participants than before.

I'm all for "sister teams". Can everyone please ask their father, mother, daughter, son, wife, lover, mistress, whatever to enter a team as well? Dammit I want there to be 50 at least for this to be fun!

anfield5 has changed his 3rd driver from ALONSO to KOVALAINEN.

I hear ya. When I first started running FGP we had 80 entries. How we have fallen to less than 50 is a question that I don't have an answer to.

Maybe ArrowsFA1 knows?
