The JDan Racing Team is happy to announce signing up MapoUK for the rest of season 2013. "This is an important step for the whole team, because we do not only get a fast driver, but a very kind person, who will help us growing. And before someone ask's: Yes, it is possible to be a kind person and simultaniously a fast racer. I am sure MapoUK will show, how fair and clean racing can be."
New rumours
JDANKERT isn't confirming anything: "I can understand, that the heat goes on and that there are many rumors about new drivers and possible team changes, but as I am not "owner of the process", I will not say anything."
JDankert the owner of the JDan Racing Team has been putting out feelers to sign up Knight of Redemption to the team. A sometimes controversial driver, Knight is no stranger to the Leon, and has driven it to victory in races covering three series.
Blighted by "mechanical" difficulties over the last couple of seasons Knight has been in semi retirement from the Forza race scene, but inside sources have suggested he has been tempted by this offer to make a return.
During a rare interview Knight said this..." Jdankert is one of the most respected drivers out there. I was surprised and honored to get asked to join the team and I will give this offer the serious consideration it deserves."
Knight is a win or lose racer, either at the front or the back of the pack, is this a wise decision by JDan Racing? Only time will tell, but your reporter will be on the scene and will bring any developments to you as and when they occur.
Jdan if I am correct your announcement should not really pose a threat to Team PistonHeads, but I'm glad to see the lesser skilled drivers sticking together. ; )
Script from the press conference held in Sottrum, Germany at 6:00 pm CET:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you very much for your immediate reaction and coming to our press conference. My name is Martin Mayer and I am the new PR manager from JDRT. From now own please send all request for interviews and meetings with members of our team to me. My mail is MMayer-JDRT@gmx.net.
One note from me: all news agencies and other reporter, who were not able to come, will get the script from this after talking to you. Now to the big news. Please welcome JDANKERT.”
……. no applause ……..
“Hello,
sometimes it seems that nearly everything becomes faster and faster. Today this isn’t just a “it seems” it is a fact!
In the last days - and sometimes nights - so many great things are happening in and around my team. May be you hear my voice trembling, because of the announcement I have to make. I am really nervous. The JDan Racing Team will become faster on track! Much faster!
As I had announced some days ago I wanted to built up my team with a new PR Manager. There he sit’s. Thank you, Martin, for being part in this. The next step was to talk to MapoUK, who signed a contract as driver in our team. He is on his way back home after talks and we’ll meet him Saturday in Spain, where he joins the Seat Leon Supercup. I am glad, MapoUK, that you are in my team. See you!
Up to that there was only one thing to do: I had to find a tuner for our team and, Ladies and Gentlemen, I found him. One of the best and for us much more important: He isn’t only a tuner, but one of the fastest racers from 2O4F. A guy, who I had much fun in the lasts months on and nearby the track.
Ladies and Gentlemen, ChurchPro and I made a handshake contract! He will be our number 1 driver for 2013!
…….. bubble of voices …….
Ladies and gentlemen, please, calm down, I won’t ask questions today, but I want to speak to the ROFL team and I have to transmit a personal statement from ChurchPro.
First ChurchPro’s words:
“I think team ROFL is now, a well established and dedicated racing team with respected members and leader. I know my departure from team ROFL maybe a shock to some people, but I'm doing it for myself and the new team.
This is an exciting time for me, been able to work with a new outfit, who are just starting out. I hope this causes no issues for Team ROFL, but I'm looking forward to working with my new team and team mates.”
…….. bubble of voices …….
Ladies and gentlemen, and dear members of ROFL, I can assure you, that my new number one driver, ChurchPro, took this decision in a hard way. He switched between “responsibility for ROFL” and “responsibility for himself”. He had invested much time and effort in building up the series, the team and many other projects. To come to JDRT now is his freely choosen way to make his personal situation more comfortable, which means he has a chance to avoid a burn out.
As you all know “burn out” is a real challenge. We lost some members in the last months.
Here, in my team, wow I am excited and proud, here ChurchPro is tuner and racer. Here he has no management function and for him no team decisions are to make. Here he is pure ChurchPro.
It is very important for me, that you all understand that this development, is not a business deal. No money goes to ChurchPro, as JDRT hasn’t much money. We are a small team with a small budget, but great visions. I did not force this step or pushed ChurchPro in any way, but as most of you are able to understand: As I saw a chance to say “yes” to this big, big chance to have such an experienced and fast racer in my team, I did it. I said yes.
And now he is in my team. Let me say some words to him:
“ChurchPro, I will do whatever I can to support you on your journey to more race victories and championships. Hey man, we are on a very good way and we will have much fun.”
I and the team are already planning a first “come together” with all family members from JDRT and his drivers, as we know, that our families are giving us the free space and time to follow our goal: “We are racing to achieve better results and become faster with each race, each season and each championship.”
Okay, that’s all for now.
Thank you for understanding, that wether ChurchPro or MapoUK or Martin or I will answer questions in the next hours. We are preparing for the races on Sunday! And believe me, there is much work to do.
Thanks!
…………………
One moment, I forgot something: Just a note to Knight. You all heard about my invitation I had sent to him:
“Knight, this team is strong and one of his strengths is, we are all real racers. Racing fair, racing clean and giving space, but if there is a chance, we will try. As team owner I am not fearful for loosing some cars. My sorrows will always be, that my drivers are leaving the car as healthy as possible. My drivers don’t have to worry about financial damage to the team. You only would have to race and, that is my demand, to win! And you’ll have to party. There always will be enough Absolut Vodka in the refrigerator.”
When asked about the latest, Oldschool muttered " First he hops in a Smartcar and drives across the country and then he hops ship, I dunno....maybe he's been dropped on his head one too many times..." and then security intervened as he got into his limo and left.
Team Vodafone, team ROFL, team DDBQ and now team JDan are all scrambling trying to catch up to the top team while team PistonHeads sits back and laughs at their futile attempts to become relevant.
News alert !!!!!
Sitting in an greek restaurant withTzatziki and Ouzo JDANKERT just received a mail and can confirm the next driver. Knight will be joining JDRT and the Seat Leon Supercup.
@Pistonheads: There will be enough action on track. I am very sure.JDRT will get good results and you will see, that not our marketing is the best we have to offer. It is our racing and our will to have as much fun as possible.

Soaking up the Greek sunshine and looking relaxed Knight had this to say..."After a long chat with the JDan Racing management we have come to an agreement and I will be joining them on a test basis. Given my "mechanical" issues if over the course of the next five races I finish in the points at least ten times over the twenty five legs I will be happy to negotiate a longer term contract. Testing has gone well in the stock car supplied by Seat as part of my long term relationship with the factory and I look forward to testing the team car when it is delivered"
What did he have to say about a certain other Irish driver? "Fitzy's fast" he said, "No one hits a wall faster" With that he headed back to the bar to celebrate with his new team mates.
I will be around on Sunday so would like to request a race space racing for Team DBBQ. I'm slower than grd (by a fair bit!) So probably room b?? Even if no spaces, I'll come along as a spectator
And that's why we race. If it's not fun don't run.
Oh, walls, you said walls, of course!
And my work here is done!
Nice shade of pink BTW...

Now I will drink a well deserved beer!”

@Oldschool I hope you have a severe penalty in his contract for being a turncoat.
Edited as I did not mean to cause offence.
Team Vodafone, team ROFL, team DDBQ and now team JDan are all scrambling trying to catch up to the top team while team PistonHeads sits back and laughs at their futile attempts to become relevant.
If we get as much action on the track as in the forums should be fun.
We shall see parcells!
Meh
News just in.
Soaking up the Greek sunshine and looking relaxed Knight had this to say..."After a long chat with the JDan Racing management we have come to an agreement and I will be joining them on a test basis. Given my "mechanical" issues if over the course of the next five races I finish in the points at least ten times over the twenty five legs I will be happy to negotiate a longer term contract.

What did he have to say about a certain other Irish driver? "Fitzy's fast" he said, "No one hits a wall faster" With that he headed back to the bar to celebrate with his new team mates.
Congrats Jdan you definitely have put a decent team together, you should celebrate now as you will have little to celebrate after the race on Sunday.
Don't worry jDan.
The words of a nervous man.
Jdan
Church Pro
Mapo
Knight
=
A Team
Meh
Meh
A team now, next week who knows what team Church will be on.
I will be around on Sunday so would like to request a race space racing for Team DBBQ. I'm slower than grd (by a fair bit!) So probably room b?? Even if no spaces, I'll come along as a spectator
As the sign up sheet is full the list of drivers on it are priority.
If a driver (Who is on the list) does not turn up it will be first some first serve.
I do belive room B are holding Race 3 from weekend 1 15 min before the scheduled races.
Dont for get GRD you are in room A after the 3rd race.
KentB56 you are to now race in room B.
Other than that just make sure you have a few people on your friends list for the room you are racing in so you can get in.
Also is it possible all team leaders post a roster of the current drivers below so I can sort the sign up sheet please.
Cheers
That is true
