We all know, after losing his beloved Dino Miles, Ricardo has been going through a rough time. Even after switching teams, and being forced to use a tyre that isn't Conti, he found himself between a rock and a hard place this season. Currently in P33, Ricardo is in the dreaded RED ZONE, meaning relegation to Rookie...

Now, it's time for the thriller of the season:
GPRO Presents: S82R17 - Lottery At The Nürburgring

What will be the fate of Ric?
Will he be getting free cash from GPROFIA? Will Dino Miles be there to cheer him on? Will his car parts hold?


Tune in Friday night at 20:00 to find out.

An anonymous member of Ricardo's team messaged me to say:

It's ridiculous, I've never seen him in the office, he spends all days playing 'forum games' and hasn't once helped the team. I'm leaving first chance I get, are you hiring? Ricardo should definitely be voted biggest n00b in the Oscars.

PS Dino Miles wasn't even that good.

Kind Regards
Name redacted for safety reasons as Ricardo doesn't take kindly to people in his team dissing Dinoob Miles the legend (legendarily slow driver).

I've actually accrued enough Dino Miles to earn a free dinner at Ric's house :P

So 'NO', that's the most appropriate reward for him. :P

Dino Miles knew what he was doing when he left Ric alone.
He understood his mistake.

Hey Ric, can you send me that infallible weather forecast of yours for the next race again? I think I deleted the mail. No need to send the all the 10 years worth data and analysis. Just the results.

Ah, and after... next season, we meet in A-28 and not A-16. Life is tough here. I need a 10th.

BTW, I'm not in his team in case you're wondering.

I thought from the title you were asking about Daniel Richiardo Will Mclaren retain or not but honestly i though why we need to talk about it now .
After reading the post i found it is about our Ricardo Antunes .

he already did. Before you even posted that. :)

Are you telling me that you don't have a separate window with the A28 qualifying standings open at all times?!?

He should worry about his own qualifying actually, otherwise he will end up meeting Ric in Amateur after the next race.

I think he might keep his space in Amateur. If he doesn't and we're in the same group, then I'll probably be learning from the master of forum games himself.

As a member of his team (or family of teams) I am confident that while the other managers in A-28 foolishly listen to the weather forecast and plan their lives around what some computer says will happen, that Ric will stay true to himself, bolt on the rain tyres and his fat lil driver will lap the field as their carefully crafted fueling and tyre plans go up in smoke.

Dino Miles will be smiling from the grandstand fully enjoying the eternal rainstorm he is prepared for.
