Weezerboy Career

Ok i decided to do my own carrer, initially following Mansell's carrer then in 1993 change to Barrichello. I was goin to use the tracks from those seasons but due to some being poor and my lack of patience to do setups for them i'll stick to original ones.

So my career starts in 1981 in the Lotus Ford...

My debut:

Melbourne, Australia

Qualifying:

could only qualify 18th...o dear not looking good for the season.

Race:

managed to dive down the inside at the start and reach 4th by end of the first lap....things looking up. Lap 3 spin on 3rd chicane/corner fall to rear of the pack. work my way back up to 16th by lap 14 but then Engine failure puts end to my race.

Result:

1st Reutemann - Williams
2nd Piquet - Brabham

.. and that was all that was classified.

all other cars failed!?!?! so if i can last out i should get some points this season(mansell got 8 in real life)

so early leader board is:

1. Reutemann 9
2. Piquet 6

(none of rest got points even tho i thought u did even if not classified based on order of retirement...ah well)

hows abot not driving down the inside of everyone at the start, and actually make it challanging?

otherwise keep it up :D

This isnt going as planned.

Intelagos, Brazil

downloaded some setup files, which have worked nicely.

QUAL: 7th

RACE: Again started well, up to 4th, then suffered a spin in the in filed section and fell back to 7th before reliablity struck again and i was out on lap 12 in 8th position.

RESULT:
1st Laffite, 2nd Reutemann, 3rd Watson

CHAMP:
1. Reutemann 15, 2. Laffite 9, 3. Piquet 6, 4. Watson 4, 5. de Angelis 3, 6. Stohr 2

this is goin quicker than expected!!

Buenos Aires, Argentina

QUAL : 5th

RACE: up to 3rd at end of first lap, but sensing problems ahead. Bottom of car scrpping along floor along straights.
A few more laps in and its flashing red and I only just reach sixth gear. 2 spins later, no rear grip and i call it a day.

My fault, i forgot to load the race setup, car was too heavy for qual set up in race.

RESULT:
1st Jones, 2nd Pironi, 3rd De Angelis

CHAMP:
1. Reutemann 15, 2. Jones/Laffite 9, 4. de Angelis 7 5. Piquet/Pironi 6


I'm thinking that after this season, i shud drop race length to 20% as even if i manage a rather commited race a day, it will take a whole year to do the 23 seasons up to the present day.

Imola, San Marino

QUAL: 2nd in the wet.

RACE: get nudge from behind thanks to Prost and then spin into the oncoming Piquet (setting up possible future fueds). Get back to the pits and constantly keep spinning after getting a new nose as i desperately try to catch the field up. retire lap 11 in 17th with Oil Leak.

RESULT:
1. Prost, 2. Villeneuve, 3. de Angelis (whose lotus seems to be able to hold itself together, darn the 2nd driver position)

CHAMP:
1. Reuteman 15, 2. de Angelis 11, 3. Jones/Piquet/Laffite 9, 6. Piquet 6
