Tropicorp-Colourworks Reveals Striking LiveryAbovian-registered bi-national WGPC outfit Tropicorp-Colourworks Grand Prix revealed their strikingly colourful WGPC20 livery from the Iskajärviin Mekkusenter on the eve of the landmark season's first race, with world champion iBen Toralmintii and new signing Ji So-Yeong among those present at the event.The latest challenger in the team's history of winning machines, AGP005, aims to propel the outfit back to its winning ways atop the WGPC constructors' championship standings, aided by a brand-new 2.4 liter twin-turbo powerplant from Tropicorp Engineering, aerodynamic refinements, and an all-new active suspension system destined to maximizing the car's underbody downforce across varied circuit surfaces and conditions. "We've used our active aero controllers to implement active suspension components in the rear of the car," revealed team principal Edvin Pekkanen. "This lets us achieve better downforce from the floor than what the active fins offered, while also cutting back on drag." Though based on an aging chassis, Pekkanen is "confident" that the team's fifth WGPC challenger will be "fighting at the sharp end" of the grid.

@Skiia
Was great to have the whole team out there with us at the Gernache Circuit. For us it was more about getting used to the race day rhythm, practicing the interactions between the two teams and how we will be communicating changes over radio and between sessions. Got to run a few laps in tow with @donnyfitz74 just so we can get comfortable with each others style out on the track - we certainly don't want to be taking each other out if we are running close. So excited for my first Grand Prix start! #WGPC20

Logo and description from United AdaikesLVA Esports
An Aurun esports team that is closely associated with Viska in racing simulators. Most Viska Juniors nowadays move to LVA to keep training their skills and still be able to compete before they are chosen by the Big Three in their choice of motorsport.
The Car
An evolution of the VK-02H, the VK-03H is Viska's fighter for the WGPC20 season. Pushing the already tested concept of the VK-02H to new heights. It features an improved aero packaged that suited the improved design of the car in which optimises Viska's prime focus of handling. It is also a test bed of many Viska technologies notably featuring the "Talon" suspension system and "Mäki" pseudo-AWD system. Most of the technologies are kept a secret.The Engine
The Re:Genesis VT-160F/H-III "Kiiruja", an evolution of the H-II version used in Viska's VK-02H in WGPC19 which helped the team take 4th in the championship. It is a 1.6L V6 turbocharged dual hybrid engine outputting ~988hp at 10500 rpm. The unique aspect of the engine is the dual hybrid system that is a conventional battery hybrid system combined with an electric flywheel system first pioneered by Schkeska in AEC but perfected by Viska, this system allows for the unit to combine the instant action of the flywheel system and the long-term storage of the batteries.Engine Specs

TECHNICAL REPORT - TRACK DETAILS
Gernache Circuit is one of the more aggresive-style friendly WGPC-grade tracks, with three DRS zones that require drivers to take a risk and carry enough speed through the corners. Once drivers have reached the end of Sortie Straight, they can brake late into the left turn and carry some of their speed through the technical section until the hairpin. The track surface is smooth with no bumps or kerbs in most parts, but there are some rough sections in The Quad that can cause slight understeer if taken too hot.
TRACK LAYOUT
Sector Notes
Sector 1 The start of the track is a gentle left turn with almost no elevation change. The exit leads directly into an ess and then the first DRS zone.
Sector 2 The long second sector is the main technical section of the track. Drivers need to carry speed from Sector 1, taking care of a bump near the hairpin apex, before going full-throttle in Base Leg
Sector 3 The final sector features two more quick corners with elevation change up until the final corner

’IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?’ - HÜLKENBERGERS LOCKED OUT
EMMERICH - With the announcement of Fleftic driver Adonis Fitzpatrick taking the final seat on the WGPC grid, the fears of many were confirmed; there would be no Hülkenberger. Not in any practical sessions, anyway. The news has shocked many of Hülkenberg’s motorsports enthusiasts, as Dario Nülkeschläger and Nepö Kinder have been consigned to testing roles for the foreseeable future. Whilst both drivers had spoken at length about potential opportunities, test and reserve roles had not been previously touted, and this unexpected development has been met with disappointment from the fans, now left lamenting the absence of their heroes on the grand stage. (Editor’s note - we use ‘heroes’ loosely here.) One fan in particular, the head administrator of SüssOderNüss.com.hb, voiced their concerns to us. “Y’know, it’s a tough one to take. Not seeing either of them on the grid is gonna have to be something to get used to - well, I mean, Nepö wasn’t there anyway, but still. Point stands. Who else on the grid can nail that glasses look aside from Dario? Darian Vilau? Someone else? The public need to know, this is a need to know matter, and I’ve already written to my local representative to voice my concerns.” The Herald swiftly made the choice never to contact them again.
Another point of view on the situation came from unknown-but-dashingly-handsome member of the public and Dario-superfan Nario Dülkeschläger. “It’s not all bad, I’m sure I- I mean, [Dario] would be pretty happy with the arrangement, considering the reserve role he’s got lined up. They do things differently at Pressley, and Dario’s a different guy. I’m not one to really comment, but if he was chocolate, he’d eat himself.” Referring to Nepö, he continued: “Similar arrangement there, right? Narrowly miss out; get put on speed dial in case someone takes ill; throw the car around on a test track, the usual. Difference is, a little birdie told me there was a teeny weeny caveat in that which might possibly perhaps involve the chance of a drive elsewhere. Don’t ask me how I know that, though. And don’t put that in the article.”
While Nülkeschläger and Kinder will both still play a part in the development of their respective teams' cars, it’s vital that Hülkenbergers adjust their expectations for the season ahead; instead of seeing their drivers battling it out against the world's best - well, some of them - they’ll have to settle for glimpses of them behind the scenes, fine-tuning the Pressley and UrGa machines that will take to the track at the Talbott Autodrome. It’s not all bad, though, as both drivers will have more time for their real favourite pastimes, whether it’s streaming grand prix reviews, looking at themselves in the mirror, or posting childish dance videos on ShujuQiequZhe.
Whatever the case, there will be a distinct lack of moustaches on this year’s grid. Here at the Herald, we’re mourning this with the solemn and deep respect it deserves… by offering every reader a FREE moustache trim at any branch of Arnie Zimmler’s Schnurrbart Trimmers! Whether bushy, curly, or downright messy, Arnie’s got you covered.

Subject: RE:- offer.jpg
To whom it may concern,
I have much to ponder when it comes to your offer.
- Firstly, may I say that I am extremely disappointed in your sudden, and quite frankly unjustified, method of sneaking me and several drivers to your team's facilities by dangling a second seat over our heads only to yank the carrot away at the last minute. I understand that promises must be kept, and I understand your reluctance to seat someone who's been racing domestically from a nation such as mine, but I do hope that this sort of thing does not become a recurrence at UrGa.
- However, the option of fine-tuning a car which I feel compliments my abilities is very hard to pass up. The machinery holds a lot of promise, and I hope my testing times will be able to, let's say, sway your decision later in the season. ;)
- Additionally, your offer of a further AOGP seat, whilst it is not something I was originally willing to accept, intrigues me. I will look into this championship further, for sure.
Taking all of this into account, I am ready and willing to accept your offer and become a test and reserve driver for Urotovsky-Gatutin. I am excited to test your machinery further, and even more excited to see what progress can be made as the season continues.
Yours,
Nepö Kinder
