Fangio, Kidnapped!

 
Two gunmen broke into the Ahyu Hotel and kidnapped Fangio just an hour ago! We have special correspondent Bobbert Risk reporting directly from the hotel where this is unfolding.
 
“With an opening at the top, Malaysian officials have declared a national state of emergency to prevent the upcoming by-election. It seems declaring an emergency to shift governmental authority is a tactic being used across the globe. What are we to make of this? For the answers, we turn to Fangio’s captors, a quote from the ransom letter: ‘The only thing going on is this race. How can Malaysia protect its international participants when it can’t protect its citizens?’.


For now, police have shut down all intersections and dispatched guards to all competing drivers. We will continue to provide updates as the search for Fangio unfolds.

This is Bobbert Risk, of the NKB, signing off.”

Hello everyone, this is Joris Bonson reporting live at telltale news Hq were we have just received an updated statement from the Malysian police regarding Fangio’s kidnapping:

POLICE STATEMENT:


“We have just received our data results from the original investigation into Fangio’s hotel room where a strand of his hair was located on his pillow, this has been run through out DNA machine and we have found strong evidence to suggest that Fangio was taking strong hits of Cocaine on a daily basis, we took this to HILLBULLY Racing and are awaiting a response, the original theory however is that Fangio has failed to pay the money owed to the drug lords ( suspected origin of Colombia ) and has been taken in exchange for the money. This report will be updated as and when we have new evidence.”



That was all from our police press conference, we have taken this to the FIA who responded within a matter of minutes with this:

FIA STATEMENT:

“If the theory believed by the Malasyian police is true in any way, shape or form then the FIA will be taking immediate action against not only Fangio, but possibly HILLBULLY Racing themselves depending on there position in this tragic event, our thoughts are with all those close to Fangio”

Thank you for tuning in to Telltale news today, I’ve been Joris Bohnson, Good day!

NKB NEWS REPORT

Operacion Fangio!

After 23 hours of captivity, Juan Manuel Fangio has been deposited at the Argentine embassy in Malaysia; his captors remain at-large!



In his own words:

“Well, this is one more adventure. I was taken to three separate houses in all. At first, I was allowed to listen to the race via the radio. They began telling me of their revolutionary objectives, I told them I did not wish to speak about political interests, the entire concept is silly to me. I think this stirred a sympathy from them.

At the last house, they afforded me a bedroom and a TV to watch the end of the race. I considered escape many times but there was an armed guard outside the door constantly.

When they felt their message was heard, they brought me back to the embassy. I was not harmed the entire time. If what the rebels did was in good cause, then I, as an Argentine accept it. Furthermore, I will cooperate with the FIA and local authorities. Thank you.”

When confronted with allegations of cocaine use, HILLBULLY released a statement:

“Majestic athletic performances have been displayed by athletes under the influence of cocaine but although we represent Colombia, we do not condone the use of Performance Enhancing Substances. However, we feel a same-day DNA result deserves a same-day rehabilitation program. We waved our finger in his face, made him stand on one foot, even had him walk a straight line. All of these tests were passed, Fangio will be racing tomorrow.

At FIA request, the traditional six-day DNA processing period has been expedited to three days, corresponding with the end of the season. If Fangio is indeed smoking that White Girl, he’s gone for good! We want to make it very clear, HILLBULLY HQ is a drug-free zone."

Stay tuned to the NKB (or Telltale) as the story develops!

This has been Bobbert Risk.

NKB News Flash

Fangio, Retirement?


A press conference was held earlier to announce the retirement of legendary driver Juan Fangio. It was a heart-felt goodbye with laughs and tears. The DNA results were in from samples found at a crime scene; Fangio tested negative for cocaine but positively confirmed the legitimacy of several unrecognized children! Sons Oscar, Ruben and Juan Manuel II are now attributed to Fangio.

“After the kidnapping and the accident, my results are not what they used to be, so I decided to take time to be a father. Perhaps one of my sons will be a driver someday. I will try to do some contracting to stay busy, maybe design engines for Mercedes or something. I have won all over the world and I must say, it has been an honor racing with you all in IGP, this is the best racing and the best group of managers a guy could ask for. I will miss the action; I will miss you all.”

And with that, a legend has passed us by.

Good luck Fangio, and Godspeed.

Season review!!!

This season was brilliant all the way from an epic title fight in Rookie, a ten point gap in pro for 1st and a first time champion in Elite!!!
ELITE:
The elite season started out in Bahrain where Phil Hill took an impressive victory for 3 Wide racing, 8 tenths clear of Towers Shadow driver G.Romano after Jake Thomas took the first pole position of the season for Wrake racing. Ben Wright took fastest lap in P8. Moving onto the Chinese IGP, an intense qualifying saw H.Janus of Team Gatecrasher pip A.Prost and T.Nilsen to pole by 0.003 seconds. Janus couldn't hold on to it though as Nilsen took victory by over 4 seconds with the fastest lap. Azerbaijan took us on a wild ride with Nico Hulkenburg of SuperAguri taking pole as 1 of 5 drivers opting for the ss tyres, a startegy that would prove not to work. The race saw a pack of 9 cars escape after the ss runners boxed at the start although only 4 could keep up the pace with L.Hamilton taking Wrake racing the victory, T.Nilsen giving towers shadow the second and Jack.Villenueve leading a 3,4 for Tonys GT. The fastest lap was snactched by 22nd placed A.Martinelli on the 2 stop. The French IGP saw a grand slam for I.Rossi at Team Gatecrasher. 0.5 seconds behind was G.Romano again, now leading the drivers title and B.Wright gave BOOMPARTY Racing a maiden podium leading his teammate in P4. Moving on to Belgium we saw I.Rossi taking a second win in a row with fastest lap after qualifying 1st of the soft runners, The chasing pack of T.Nilsen at Towers shadow, R.Smith at Taylor racing and G.White at BOOMPARTY Racing could only get as close as 3 seconds. Italy gave us a brilliant race won by... you guessed it, I.Rossi with G.White coming home in a new best position for BOOMPARTY Racing of P2 and H.Janus of Team Gatecrasher took a well earned P3 1.1 seconds in front of the next best car. Jack Villenueve from Tonys GT took fastest lap in 13th place. The Rossi reign was ended by the first 1,2 of the season obtained by John Wrake (who also took a sub minute fastest lap), 4 seconds in front of 3,4 team 3 Wide Racing although Towers shadow looked menacing with a 1,2 in qualifying. The second 1,2 of the season was taken by BOOMPARTY Racing in Mexico as B.Wright led from start to finish. Taylor Racings F.Leclercq rounded of the podium 7 seconds behind as 888 Racings O.Hill took fastest lap in 30th! The British IGPM was utter chaos as the rain stop started the entire way leadint to the simplest strategy of inter inter being enough to give Brian Burch there first win of the season, second went to O.Hill to give 88 Racing there best result with us and a dissapointed G.White coming home third with fastest lap after leading for much of the race. The US IGP saw 888 racing win a frontrow lockout by 4 tenths on the soft tyres but manage to finish in 9,10! In the end however BOOMPARTY Racing took another 1,2 as they took the championship lead with both cars from 3 wide racing and wrake racing battling from 3rd position, 5 seconds behind. N.Hill took fastest lap in 9th place. The Candian round saw a surprise 1,2 from 3 wide racing who had the pac all weekend, beating Wrake Racing to another 3rd position with J.Thomas, Nico Hulkenburg took as surprise fastest lap for SuperAguri with very old tyres and relatively low boost in 13th place. The Turkish IGP witnessed the return of Team Gatecrasher who were denied another 1,2 by G.White following a race long battle between 3 cars, all of which finished 6 seconds clear of any other team with fastest lap going to 1st place Janus! The Malasyian IGP was borderline between inters and wets the whole race but with it never quite turning to intermidiates, it was a 1 stop wets all day long. Once again, it was a battle between BOOMPARTY Racing and Team Gatecraher the whole way, this time with all four cars finishing 9 seconds clear of P5. It all came down to an intense fastest lap where B.Wright managed to win it for BOOMPARTY Racing and take the constructors championship to BOOMPARTY racing for the first time in there history with 2 races to go!!! The penultimate race of the season saw Taylor Racing take a first victory of the season in wet conditions at Brazil. It was a 3 horse race between BOOMPARTY Racing, Team Gatecrasher and Taylor racing with Team Gatcrasher being held up in traffic costing them dearly to give them a measly 5,6. Abu Dhabi was a fairly boring race with Team Gatecrasher dominating with a 1,2 and grand slam followed by a Taylor racing 3,4 and a BOOMPARTY Racing 5,6. The Elite season was intense, dramatic and had new winners at every corner with 9 different driver winners and 7 different team winners in 15 races! Well done to all who took part and I look forward to next season!!

Jack Crook made this state to the press earlier today "Lotus have backed us throughout the majority of our journey in Pro and we are very grateful for that as they brought the team the chance of making it to Elite. However that chapter of the Spirit Racing team has come to a close as we no longer would like to have that partnership and to seek new ventures. Jaguar another famous British car manufacturer have stepped in to buy out half the team."

Jack continued to say "We hope Jaguar brings us the same luck and in the future many wins, podiums and pole positions and we're looking forward to our new partnership!"
