Did not appear to be a particularly successful weekend for team Reynholm Industries Basement racing team at first with no riders finishing any higher than 5th place but the team still managed to move up the championship standings 7 places so am content with that. with a relatively inexperienced team i am expecting my riders to improve as the season progresses.

Yeah the top 4 are already pulling away. There is another close battle for 'best of the rest'.Quote:

Lead rider Nori Haga continued to struggle in qualifying and fell early in race one, despite a promising start leaving the team scratching their heads and PN Corse's manager drafting a regrettable sacking letter ready to issue. 'Second' rider Max Neukirchner took pole and led the entire race before becoming an unfortunate victim of Carlos Checa's error and to make matters worse, wound up with a broken collarbine. The team are distraught and hope he can be fit soon, although the 30+ points he was set to score will be sorely missed.
Young British Supersport star Graeme Gowland had another strong but unlucky ride, crashing from sixth place mid-way through. Again, a bunch of points were lost. David Checa put in two reasonable rides but gained just a single point all weekend in a tough field. Nori Haga finished the day with a morale-boosting win which may retain his place in PN Corse, but once again the possibility of much more was lost as the unlucky Neukirchner sat out race two.
i'm still bottom, but better performance than jerez, btw is tommy hill still injured ?
Yep, he was in British Eurosport's studio.Quote:

So, unfortunately the few of you with him will probs be subbing him out before he's even appeared. Such a shame after he'd finally made the change from Yamaha in BSB to the world stage which could get him noticed when he's fit.

Press Release - PN Corse, Monza WSB 2008
Best-Ever day for PN Corse as riders score perfect double 1-2
PN Corse scorched back into contention in the league standings after riders Nori Haga and Max Neukirchner stormed to a double 1-2 in two breathtaking races at Monza.
The weekend began badly with third WSB pilot David Checa missing through injury, and Supersport riders Graeme Gowland crashed on the first lap of his race, but Haga and Neukirchner were on tremendous form to deliver the result that has been promised all season. Neukirchner took an overdue first career WSB win in race one, which left team members celebrating in the street outside and Haga followed a close second to open the days events. Haga then just edged a truly epic race two ahead of the German star and Ryuichi Kiyonari, whose team manager was also in attendance. The race was characterised by quite a lot of enthusiastic shouting at TV screens from the two rival managers, with only a temporary loss of dignity :)
WSBK piloti are keeping me in it.. Gooo Brookesy n Nieto.. Rea's Honda let me down, coulda been a big(er) haul otherwise!! ;)
Team FattyR - Feeling a little like Team Roberts at the moment
your team at this moment of time your team more rizla suzuki team than team roberts, i feel more like the wcm team, btw in the words of jezza out of top gear 'were not bottom!'Quote:

Noriyuki Haga proved once again that he has the speed to be a championship contender, only for the first time this year he was able to capitalise on that speed by finishing both races with a 2nd and a 1st. More positivity came from the supersport race with rider Broc Parkes riding to a stirring 3rd place carrying significant injuries. Sadly Garry McCoy and Ivan Clementi didn't fare so well but have plenty of time to bounce back at the next round.
PRESS RELEASE: Team Hurricane 14/5/08
Hooray, we're winning.
End Press release.
Guys, after this weekend (Le Mans) it's transfer time. You have until practice starts at the next event in two weeks time to submit new teams on here.
Change for this year - you can only change THREE of your riders at each transfer point (there's a second transfer period later in the year). So four of them must stay the same, and of course your team must still be within budget.
And a couple of riders who weren't priced at the start of the year, both in World Supersport, now available for selection:
Ilario Dionisi, Triumph SC, $0.5m
Angel Rodriguez, Yamaha Spain, $0.75m
Kev Coghlan, Althea Honda, $0.5m

One change, and it pains me to do it.. Ant West = Out, Andrea Dovizioso = In..

Sorry Corny, rule change this year (mentioned above) - you can only make three changes per transfer period. So at least four of your riders have to remain the same. That's new for this year in a bid to stop a lot of teams being similar after the transfer period.Quote:

Yep, both jonny and Corny's teams are within the new rules - both looking pretty handy as well!
I am going to stick by the riders that I picked from the start. I don't like throwing out a rider because he has had a bad start to the year. Every rider deserves a chance IMO.

Ninja Stars Racing Team - First Sector Report Card.
The Ninja Stars Racing Team have endured an unusual start to the season with many delirious highs accompanied by the depths of too many lows. John Hopkins just can't take a trick so far this year. After riding with injury early in the year, he has come to hit some form but that hasn't translated into the results we'd hoped for due to circumstances outside his control. Hiroshi Aoyama has been pleasantly consistent and we're expecting even stronger results ahead. Sergio Gadea has shown he has the speed to be at the pointy end but the smarts haven't been there often enough and he has disappointed so far.
Nori Haga is much like Sergio in his performance so far this year but his recent form has been strong so Nori and the team are confident that his bad luck is now behind him. Broc Parkes has had a solid start to the season overcoming some nasty injuries lately to keep him in championship contention. Both Garry McCoy and Ivan Clementi have shown some impressive speed but both have been plagued by bad luck.
Rider Grades:
John Hopkins - C+
Hiroshi Aoyama - B+
Sergio Gadea - D+
Noriyuki Haga - B
Broc Parkes - B+
Garry McCoy - C
Ivan Clementi - C+
Ninja Stars Racing Team would like to thank riders, Gadea, Clementi and McCoy, for their efforts but unfortunately their grades just aren't up to scratch and they are to be dropped from the team.
Their replacement riders are Yuki Takahashi, Nico Terol and Joan Lascorz. This gives Ninja Stars Racing the following rider lineup:
John Hopkins - $1mil
Hiroshi Aoyama - $1.5mil
Yuki Takahashi - $1mil
Nico Terol - $600,000
Noriyuki Haga - $3.5mil
Broc Parkes - $1.5mil
Joan Lascorz - $750,000
Total Salary - $9.85mil.
The Ninja Stars Racing Team are now confident that the first third of the season has laid a solid platform to work from for the remainder of the year and that the new additions are just what we need to see a surge forward in the championship standings. :up:
NoBlouse Racing announces its "Close the stable door after the horse(s) has bolted" team revision.
Out - Sofuoglu (maybe next year Kenan), McCoy (maybe next year Triumph) and Corsi (actually you were doing ok, but our chief toecutter was on a roll).
In - Neukirchner (Schnell! Schnell!), Lascorz (Privateer with pedigree) and Di Meglio (Frenchman riding for Finnish team on an Italian bike which is another Italian bike...)
We would also like to take a moment to express our confidence in our continuing riders, who are doing a sterling job under often trying conditions. Especially Mr Holland, who deserves a far better bike than our budget will currently allow - a year of learning the tracks will do wonders for his 2009 performance should he remain a viable WSB candidate.

Team Hurricane is clearly very happy with it's performance in the opening rounds of the 2008 racing season however it is not going to rest on it's past performances. Looking to increase it's lead in the points standings sees us having to say a sad farewell to Lukas Pesek who is still learning the ropes in the 250cc class. Taking his place on the team is 125cc front-runner Nico Terol. We wish Lukas well for the remainder of the season and look forward to working with Nico.
