I feel like this thread, and looking for anything of substance from Rich Energy is like some F1 version of "Waiting for Godot".

If that is what happens, I wonder how it will be moderated? It would take real work and a staff to do so. Without moderation, I can just see it being one of two things. First, a complete cesspool of memes, politics, conspiracy theories, copypasta, etc. Second, a home for people who will just pound on Rich Energy (beside most every reply to any tweet put out by the company). Maybe it might be both things? Or it might be highly successful. I am hopeful. This very well be my last post on 10/10ths before I move over to this new premium fan zone experience! Richard |

How many more cryptic clues are they going to give us? I think after a year people start to stop believing

No clue what the most recent tweet means. I will say he seems to be stepping it up. No longer hinting that it is F1, but calling it out. I don't know. It's been nothing but unfulfilled promises the entire time. I am sure whatever it is, he will spin it as success.
Regarding a prior tweet about an "F1 Fanzone" being announced first of next month. I really don't know anything about this, but googling that name brings up articles from circa 2012 +/- in which someone named Carlo Boutagy was running an officially sanctioned "F1 Fanzone" at select F1 events. I am not sure, but it sounds like he moved his operations over to Formula E a few years back. So I assume (someone else can confirm) that this "F1 Fanzone" is no longer happening today at F1 events. I wonder if there is a trademark on that phrase/name that is owned by either F1 or Boutagy? Semi related. RE has updated their website and now you buy direct from them vs. being pointed to someone like Amazon UK (which still shows the product as not available) and there is not even an item listed on the main Amazon site, so it remains difficult to buy here. I don't know if the direct distribution model he now seems to be using includes shipping to the US or not. Richard |

It’s just empty promise after empty promise. Is anyone really taking them that seriously? They will probably continue with these promises for another 10 years with nothing happening at this rate. He needs to start walking the walk, instead of just talking the talk
I’d wait to hear from another source before we believe this fanzone thing. It’s something only he seems to know about. I doubt those promoters in F1 are happy about this no substance promise. It’s just another load of hot air. I would really be surprised if it was happening. As I said, we need confirmation from someone other than RE Really it seems the whole company is a mess and has no idea how to make a business successful. They can’t even get their website links right. They are all colour no substance |

Thanks for the updates. There really isn't much of anything to say. It's just a stream of teases with nothing of substance. Maybe the recent VAG buying McLaren rumor was all wrong. Maybe Rich Energy is going to buy McLaren.

They are just thinking that if they something, people will believe them. Problem is, you need to make sure you’ve done enough before people start hanging on your word

The old all publicity is good publicity. Just like with Ratners…

It's becoming clear now.
The recent McLaren rumours were a smokescreen, and Rich Energy are going to buy the Racing Team. Storey has already started to throw shade at McLaren - ready to swoop in and buy the team. 'It is unfathomable that a company supported by the government to build the MTC in 97, who had Senna & Prost, who built the iconic F1 road car & who dominated Formula One under Ron Dennis have evolved into a loss making brand with collapsing residuals & huge debt #McLaren #F1 Flag of United Kingdom' https://twitter.com/richenergyceo/st...08028495294465 |

Yes it’s really bad that after years in the doldrums McLaren are now competitive again, even winning a race. I mean, it’s nothing compared to Rich Energy’s great achievements is it?

So people are calling out that the December 1st launch for the Rich Energy "Fanzone" has passed without anything actually happening.

So his response was to just basically say that his new subscription plan for the drink is the "F1 Fanzone". I assume it was a face saving effort.

It all becomes clear now.
Storey is the broker behind the deal to get F1 back on FTA TV in the UK, and we have the final round on Channel 4. #F1FanzoneChannel4 S Griffin - The bearded one has brought you the chance to watch F1 live - ** This post might not be 100% entirely accurate - but then when has anything promoting RichEnergy been so? ** |
