chris Andrews and rfm

[dragfan85]

By now you hav all probably read on ed about chris driving risto's old car .. obviously I dont no whats goes on but does seem quite odd when chris has a state of the art car and potentially championship winning car of his own and yet still chooses to drive for rfm .. I no there will be a valid reason and I no there was talk on ed of his rear wing needing to go to the states ... that said a possible deal for the rest of the season .. I dont no but surely the parts needed tou run his own car would be back I time ??? Just feel like thats a tfd less on the start line ... all said im really glad to see chris back with his lighting reactions ... think he will be tough to beat and my tip for the win at Finland

My guess is just that the parts won't be in the UK in time and he wants to get out racing rather than waiting for them. But that's just a guess.

I don't no, I've know idea....

Just a thought. If the body panel are all interchangeable, Whats to stop drivers from taking their bodies to every meeting and swapping them onto Runes renter rides? Apart from the rules.

[dragfan85]

Or even just borrow/ rent the rear wing that I belive is the problem and collect more data in his ride ??

Oh come on Phil. Expecting people to carry out independent research on events that are available in the public domain. What are you thinking?

For the benefit of those for whom googling "Rune Fjeld Motorsports" presents too great a challenge, I have the inside track on the REAL reason for Chris' sitting yesterday out...


At tech inspection, Chris' beard was found to be outside the published SFI specifications. The regs state it has to be longer that 4mm long, otherwise it is classified as "bumfluff". Chris needed to put another 0.6mm on his chin overnight. Fortunately (being Norwegian) Rune has copious supplies of tinned rotting herring dating back to the Prudhomme finals event in 1980. A poultice was applied at lunchtime yesterday, and this has hopefully worked its magic overnight.
This delay has fortuitously had the added benefit of giving the team time to put last year's DSR car together as well.....

Didn't fancy doing extra "independent research" at turned midnight. Thought I'd just ask the forum after briefly checking reports from Finland. Sorry if it upsets the perfect people out there. Another dose of sarcasm, wonderful !!

Actually, you asked a direct question ot 00:03, to which I gave an accurate and comprehensive response at 00:10. Phil (for whom I have the greatest respect), then gave another response (not aimed at any one individual) directing the populace to sources of further information. Phil has been involved in the corporate communications area of our sport at the very highest level, and gave a really good pointer for anyone seeking further information. I don't recall (nope, just checked again) anything he said being directed to any one individual.
On all public fora, and (it has to be said) especially this one, there is a tendency for people who don't know secrets to want to know them. Conversely, there are also people who are "in the know". Actually, I am so far out of the loop these days, I know very little of anyone's plans. I am certainly not a member of our sporting illuminati. However, I have reasonable skills in research and I am interested enough to want to find stuff out for myself. Perhaps I expect too much from other people. It's a failing.

If you find my comments sarcastic, then I am sorry you feel that way. I will suggest a reasonable compromise: I promise to stop responding to idiots with sarcasm just as soon as people stop being idiots.

[robc3303]

Yes grateful for Phil pointing to the source of further information, no problem.

My question was straightforward and not idiotic. Maybe, on this occassion, I could have searched around on the internet, however, just prefered to ask on here. Phil answered, thanks.

[snakehips]

I have no idea what that's ^ all about. So hay ho.

So in fact you were incorrect Jon, he would have been running later on the day of posting; although you were also correct as he was also due to run on the day after posting providing he qualified on the day of posting!
