Alonso 5th for AEPRE, Raikkonen wins again
Fernando Alonso, our talented driver, have finished 5th in Malaysia. This is where my team is really suffering in my whole iGP career. While Sandman GP2 Team's renamed legend Kimi Raikkonen wins a race, with his rival Jacob White, of Aerelon Racing, can only finish 2nd behind him.

Having started from pole position for the first time in the team's history ever in my career, Alonso have dropped down to 5th just after a lap. But however, he can still pull his car into Top 5 using "Take it easy" for the whole race and on 1 stop. And they got the 2nd consecutive Top XP gainer.

Good luck today in china

Alonso misses out another podium finish on final lap in China
OMG...that should not happen at all.

AEPRE still not giving up on their 1st podium after 4-5-4-5 form and the podium finishers that will never change
Jacob White (Aerelon Racing), Kimi Raikkonen (Sandman GP2 Team) and Vincenzo Rossi (Duck GP) are the only 3 podium finishers so far this season. Fernando Alonso of AEPRE also wanted to join the podium finishers' club.

Having dropped away for several races, the technical director Michael Johnson still said that "We can finally do that, but Duck GP has a very good pace at the end of the race, so we must be careful".

AEPRE Racing Team currently have 8.6M in their budget, which they still need 21.4M more to rebuild their research facility, and try to obtain KERS in order to make the team more competitive. As currently without KERS, AEPRE is still a step-away from their first podium of the season. Fernando Alonso will be racing in his home in front of his home fans. Can he impress his fans and collect their first podium finish of this season?

But Alonso seems to be too much about his setup, as he never felt good about his setup. So his team is really struggling to find the right setups and strategy. As if AEPRE ran on 2 stops in Bahrain last race, they would havebeen on the podium. The person to be blamed must be the manager himself, as he miscalculates his fuel strategy.

Alonso seals a podium finish in Spain
This season's Pro class of TheAfroLeague got the 4th podium finisher, which is Fernando Alonso of AEPRE.

Having a very poor start down into 5th with our driver setting a very bad sector times. Before they start to recover with the first stop comes out into 4th place after taking the lead for 2 laps. They should have been on 1 stop, but due to another poor fuel calculation forces Alonso to gave away 2nd, but still, they could managed to push it hard from Simon Meyer, and it was a job well done.

And what a way to get that first podium at your drivers home race

Back from Korea trip...the team's responsibility have gone to Colby Dahl while the actual manager is away for a 4-days trip in Korea. We have learned a few design techiniques from there too. With a default setup, Fernando Alonso finishes 10th and 4th in Monaco and Turkey respectively. But I'm about to go to Japan in the next four days time...

AEPRE to leave TheAfroLeague?
Following a recent time change in TheAfroLeague which is not attendable even on a mobile timing, the team are looking for a new destination for their team. They are actually looking for a very active league of 2 cars and 50% distance, and the time between 18:00-20:00 ICT.

And the league is...iGP SUPER SERIES!!!

Liam Taylor will be signing to the team with a good amount of talents ready to hunt other cars down with the odd driver Fernando Alonso. Check out the news right from iGP Super Series here on this thread.
