Rallygate: Ælund Racing Assets Embargoed by AFIP in Laundering ProbeThe assets of once state-backed motorsport powerhouse Ælund Racing have been frozen by the Abovian Financial Inquiries Police (AFIP), following a tip from the Hodori Ministry of Law Enforcement Department of Financial Crimes Investigation citing a fraudulent connection between the outfit and the Togonistani-registered enterprise, Echocoin International plc. Though Tropicorp Racing Ælund team principal Edvin Pekkanen sustains that the WGPC wing of the team was not implicated in dealings with the company, the AFIP freeze extends to the entirety of the company, including the local half of the renowned WGPC outfit. Despite the rejected appeal, the AFIP has made an exemption to allow the team to set up a temporary base outside of their headquarters, under a different name and without the use of branding associated to Tropicorp Racing Ælund, to continue their WGPC operations. In spite of the situation, the newly-founded team, christened Tropicorp-Colorworks Grand Prix, is expected to confirm Turorian world champion iBen Toralmintii as their first driver, and the continuation of their tyre and engine deal with Tropicorp, for WGPC20.

I am Angela Stella Tan Fang Ling from Valentine Z, who participated in the fifth season of WGP2 (Formula 2 Racing) a few years ago. I am aware that it has been a while and for the most parts, my resume on the racing was a little lacking, but combining the experience I have had driving in a racecar before (and in many of the domestic races happening around Valentine Z), as well as the physical fitness that I have went through for the decades worth of space programs, I hope that I will be able to bring in the determination and performance that your team is looking for. I am more than happy and am willing to offer myself up for the trial runs, if needed be.
Thank you, and best regards, Angela Stella Tan Fang Ling.”
To First Captain Angela Stella Trista Josephine Natalie Rv. E. Tps. “The Eternal Explorer” Bethany Alyssa Valeska Payton Mikayla Gosling Josie Rowan Serenity Chelsea Lynette Hannah Tan Fang Ling,
I deeply appreciate your time spent in considering the position of driving for the Cygnus Motorsport Team.
The upcoming season of the World Grand Prix Championship is approaching rapidly, and I would like to get my team’s affairs in order very soon. I understand that you have solid experience in both motorsport and adjacent conditions- I think there is some skill to translate from FTL travel. I would be pleased to have you join the team if you so wish, and provide an anchor for our other driver, Brendan, to attach himself to as he enters the world of real racing for the first time.
Again, in response to your interest, I formally offer you the second seat at Cygnus Motorsport Team. Whenever you are able, you are free to come to our headquarters in Midwood, Esmerel. We are finalizing our engine and tire deal with Tropicorp, and will have cars ready for you to test at our test track within a few days.
However you choose to go ahead, I wish you well.
Signed,
Dr. William Emerson

Subject: Regarding Danielle Bugatti Johnsilvaturr
To whoever it may concern,
It is my pleasure, as the Prime Defense Minister, to be able to speak to all of you.
As you might have known, Jonjastan’s very own most prolific driver, Danielle Bugatti Johnsilvaturr is interested in landing a place in a World Grand Pee Championship Season 20 team. Her portfolio is incredibly vibrant and we think that it makes her a promising candidate for your team. Here are her achievements as follows:
- 45 Jonjastani Mario Kart Championships from the age 10 to 16
- The youngest person to earn their driving license in Jonjastan
- A viral number one hit in Jonjastan
If your team is interested in Johnsilvaturr, we at the Ministry of Defense will proudly sponsor all her endeavours, as well as give your team more exposure in Jonjastan. You will also have early access to Johnsilvaturr’s upcoming single “Super Gucci Goku Flops” as an additional bonus.
Any response is appreciated, and any travelling expense for potential testing sessions will be covered by us.
We hope to have Johnsilvaturr represent your team and Jonjastan.
Yours faithfully,

DRIVING DUO TO SEEK SEATS IN UPCOMING SEASON
EMMERICH - Fans, punters, and casuals alike can hardly contain their excitement as a new World Grand Prix Championship season draws closer. With the embers of driver rumours growing to sparks, many are worried by the rumours - or lack thereof - surrounding the two Hülkenberger hotshots vying for seats in the illustrious championship. The HMG-linked duo of Dario Nülkeschläger and Nepö Kinder have been unusually tight-lipped about their plans for the year ahead, leaving Hülkenberg's resident motorsports enthusiasts to speculate on their respective futures. Said speculation has been helped onwards by comments from higher-ups at HMG, especially those from former HMG Head of Development Jöhan Turbringer, who suggested that "[Dario] hasn't given much away", and that "you never really know with [Nepö]", citing uncertainty about her future. Journalists and experts have had their say as well, as has the Herald's Magic 8-Ball, which when asked about the duo's future, responded with a swift and stern "OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD". Thankfully, the Herald managed to catch up with both drivers at HMG's 50th Anniversary Celebration at their headquarters in Emmerich, and their answers should put any surrounding uncertainty to bed.
When asked about a potential WGPC seat for next season, Nepö was hesitant to answer, hinting at ongoing discussions behind the scenes. She did, however, confirm a lack of confirmation: "Well, I can't give too much away just yet, especially when I haven't put pen to paper on anything. But there's been conversations, yes. A couple of texts and calls here and there, the odd email, that sort of thing. But I'm still open to offers." Similarly reluctant, Dario provided his take in his own, colourful terms: "Well, I don't [redacted] know, do I? I mean, I've been at this stage of a season a few times before, it's always the same. Unless you're of a particular nationality or a particular skill level, you just kind of have to roll with it. I've been lucky enough to have two wonderful seasons with WGPC Motorworks and Pryfors Bilar-Viska, I've had other offers besides them, and - god willing - I'll have offers again. My usual catchphrase around this time is 'call me', and I suspect I'll be using it a lot more in the coming weeks."
Whether or not either of the drivers will be successful in their quests to get on the grid is yet to be seen, but what is evident is that they're hopeful about it - and with the championship's expansion from twelve to fourteen teams, thus opening up an extra four spots, there's no reason why they shouldn't be. In Dario's case, with new teams on the horizon, his experience could be a driving factor in getting himself a drive in the upcoming season. For Nepö, despite her relative inexperience, her exceptional drives in HMG Challenge GT had already turned a lot of heads domestically, but some of her compatriots are confident that teams will be casting an eye on the young woman.
"I've heard great things about Nepö, she [beat me handily] in GTs.", mentioned Dario. "Someone's bound to take a chance on her. I know I would."
With the rumour mill constantly churning out new stories daily, The Hülkenberger Herald promises to be your port of call for all the latest racing news. Subscribe now for only… show more contentJöhan: "I'll be totally honest with you, there's not much I can really say about Dario. I worked with the lad for a good couple of months when it came to the rallying side of things, but from the tidbits of info he's given me since... ach, it's not for me to say. He hasn't given much away, I'll tell you that much. I'd rather you asked him these sorts of questions, I'm sure he'd happily tell you. When it comes to Nepö, you never really know with her. Sometimes she's a constant stream of consciousness, rattling on about the car, her career path, her life plan, and all that jazz, and sometimes it's just blank looks, shrugs, and radio silence. Lately, I'm sorry to say, it's been more of the latter. I'm certain though, once she has a gig set up, you'll know all about it before I do."
Nepö: "Well, I can't give too much away just yet, especially when I haven't put pen to paper on anything. But there's been conversations, yes. A couple of texts and calls here and there, the odd email, that sort of thing. But I'm still open to offers. I've got a lot to prove, and I think teams quite like to take chances on that sort of thing - I mean, the wonderful folks at HMG gave me a shot, and look how it ended up!"
Dario: "Who am I driving for next season? Well, I don't fuckin' know, do I? I mean, I've been at this stage of a season a few times before, it's always the same. Unless you're of a particular nationality or a particular skill level, you just kind of have to roll with it. I've been lucky enough to have two wonderful seasons with WGPC Motorworks and Pryfors Bilar-Viska, I've had other offers besides them, and - god willing - I'll have offers again. My usual catchphrase around this time is 'call me', and I suspect I'll be using it a lot more in the coming weeks. A man's gotta get his name out there, y'know? Oh, and of course, in this modern era of motorsport, a woman's gotta get her name out there too. I've heard great things about Nepö, she handed my ass to me in GTs, but it ain't always easy for the young folk. Again, god willing, someone's bound to take a chance on her. I know I would."

From: Mr. Alejandro Rusegara
Subject: WGPC 20 Opportunities
Dear all,
Good morning. My name is Alejandro M. Rusegara, and I would like to express my interest in competing to earn a driver's seat for the upcoming season of the twentieth World Grand Prix Championship. In my young career with Team Naxos, I have been the Quebecois Commonwealth Champion, a feat best remembered for being the first individual ever to win the title at his rookie season, and before that I have maintained steady, consistent rise to the motorsports world in open wheel and rally racing. I am a driver who believes in the power of faith, vitesse and energy, who knows how to thrive upon the most challenging of circumstances. My greatest assets lie in my mental fortitude, where my ability to come up ahead, even at great risk, and also to rebound after a difficult race, allow me to serve any team in not just short-term, but long-term capacity as well.
Furthermore, I would like to present to you possible sponsorship opportunities that I could bring as the first Quebecois racer of open-wheel racing, and one of only half-dozen privileged to earn the right across all formats. Some of the finest companies in Quebec and Shingoryeo, which include but are not limited to Quebecom, Salamantel and Centennial Bank, have agreed to sponsor me with possible opportunities. In addition, more have promised to support my endeavours, provided I receive a seat, and this alone presents a promising opportunity for those interested.
Many thanks in advance. I hope to hear from you soon. Let's get this rolling.
Warm regards,
Alejandro Manawin Rusegara

Hello,
I'm Helena Kaczakzy from Orange Cow Racing and I'll be coordinating your travel, hotel and transportation needs. A few quick introductory items:
The test and meetings before & after will take place at the OCRC, our new team headquarters. It is advisable to book flights in and out of the Commonwealth through the closest airport to us, Osheana International Field in Oceana. It is the second busiest airport in Baker Park, and serves dozens of carriers from across the multiverse.
Directly driving from OIF to our facility is approximately a 75 minute trip depending on the traffic, but it is all expressway travel.
Please let me know if you would like overnight accommodation either before, after or both during your visit; if you prefer a top tier hotel, I can arrange for rooms in Oceana itself, or if you would be fine with a clean, comfortable room closer to the facility there are options in Georgetown, approximately 20-25 minutes drive with metro area population of around 185,000.
All vehicles supplied by the team shall be able to accommodate 5-6 persons comfortably.
Please do not hesitate to contact me through this mail account, or by phone at the numbers listed in the header.
Yours,
Helena
Haukanna is a scratch. No need to send info.

@Skiia
Can't wait to hit the test track to prove I'm ready for full time @WGPC action. I think Colourworks are looking for more experience to get the Constructors Title but surely there is a team out there willing to take a chance on a two-time WGP2 Race Winner! I'm ok being a second driver while I learn the ropes.

"Yeah, I was, I thought you were too. I'm packing to Neomaris right now, to dispatch equipment."

Anneliese
"Nay. I thought I'd be on my own this season, I even received termination notice... So, let it stay just between us. Does Darius decided to replace me with another driver?"

Maybe Lukas Horsch?

Anneliese
Or Lianna Rasianoara?

"I'm not aware. Darius isn't even handling nothing. They haven't made offseason tests, and the preseason will be quite short this year. Fireline is taking the helm this year. The structure is being moved to Ethane, some personal was dismissed."

To: Fireline + Heroes Eminent WGPC Team
Dear friends,
It's been a long winter, but the WGPC is on its way again.
Nevertheless, I hope you're considering myself to fill one of the seats, as it was in the last season. Despite being contacted by Scuderia Orange Cow, I'm still very impressed and so grateful for the awesome work we made together last season. Despite not being a contracted Bitten Heroes driver anymore, I would still be happy to, at least, be taken in consideration for the team. I'm pretty sure I can back my seat even without the backing of the company itself, but even more assured that most of the crew will be very happy to work with me again.
Best Regards,
7. Anneliese Devereux
OOC: I preferably would like her moving up in the table, however, I'm aware that Anneliese isn't the first option in any allowing scenario.
Regarding the recent mention by GPA Pryfors Bilar, which are something like: Player knows, character doesn't), I may confirm Anneliese's interest in negotiations.

TO: All Interested Constructors, WGPC 20
FROM: Maximiliano Asphari & Natasha Vollerei
SIBJECT: WGPC Opportunities
Written by Vollerei, on the behalf of myself and Asphari,
Greetings. As you may know, my name is Natasha Vollerei. I would like to state my interest in competing for a potential driver's seat for the upcoming World Grand Prix Championship season that is soon to dawn upon us. As based on already known information, I barely had a junior career as I have only raced in three races for Artecha Racing Power in the Halozia Junior Formula Championship. However, I do wish to emplore you on more details. My simulation runs, along with the three races I have participated in showed that I have the capability to compete against the upper half of the Athearan Grid Racing Championship, which has a rich history and is dependant on driver capability when it comes to the success of the drivers themselves and the teams they drive for. Not only that, I am driver who has the desire to prove their worth, as many still look down upon my capabilities as a driver. I also am rather young, and I have a lot of room to grow into.
As for my fellow countryman in Maximiliano Asphari, he is older and has 8 years more in terms of experience. His nineteen podiums and one win with Azura Excellor are well known, along with a rather aggressive temper on the track. But he too is a driver who has the drive to win. Video clips can be found of him pointing out his and his teams mistakes which has costed them possible extra points in previous seasons of the AGRC. This anger from racing is directed at improving oneself, which is a factor you may want to consider as he is only 26. But alas, he also would like to enjoy the non-requirement of points expected from him. He will bring you results as long as you do not mount too much pressure on him. This may seem like a liability, but this is actually developed from the nature of the AGRC. Not just that, but you can guarantee he will do his best to bring out everything the car can give out, as told by his record of finishing every race in the points in every race he participated in despite being in one of the worse teams on the grid along with teammates changing every season.
We are two drivers of reliability and good technique. However, Asphari is definitely the more aggressive driver while I am more balanced. There's also the potential viewership and support from Athearans. We are known to be a nationalist nation that supports one another, teams and individuals honing their craft abroad included. Athearan support for one team can increase as we love seeing our own countrymen perform. Even if we end up leaving, there's a likely chance that a good portion of the newfound supporters from having an Athearan on your team staying in your fanbase to continue supporting you. But alas, this is only our view of reasoning. There is no pressure given to you to accept us or not to. We know you have other targets as well, along with different priorities. I am only giving reasons on to why to consider us.
Thank you in advance for reading and listening to our reasoning. Asphari and I hope to hear your responses soon, whether we are accepted or not. We hope to impress.
P.S. The reason I am writing on behalf of Asphari as well is because he cannot write in such formal matter.
Bright and hopeful regards,
Natasha Vollerei, on her and Maximiliano Asphari's behalf.

Pekkanen: "Any Team Worth Their Money Would Choose Tropicorp"Amid an intense, high-energy preparation period for the landmark 20th season of the World Grand Prix Championship, Tropicorp-Colourworks team principal Edvin Pekkanen congratulated Cygnus and Scuderia Orange Cow on selecting partnerships with Tropicorp, declaring the firm's engines and tyres to be "the undisputed top choice" for the championship's customer teams. "You go back three seasons and it's always Tropicorp at the top," Pekkanen sustained. "Our engines won all three of the last drivers' championships; our tyres all the constructors' titles — even Preston couldn't find it in them to forgo our tyres!" As part of the conference, the team principal also confirmed Skiia Vialiv as the tenth entrant for the Colourworks trials, and extended invitations to Julita Lérida and WSRC winner Dario Nülkeschlager. "We want to give promising drivers a chance at proving their worth, not only for us but for rival teams as well," he said. Diarcesian Sara Luna, second driver for Tropicorp Racing Ælund in season 19, was not invited to the test, suggesting that the 40-year-old will be out of a drive at the Abovian outfit.
