F1 Manager 2004 Season

Just one thing why are you using the original BAR and not the 2003 version

I'm so angry with Button and Villeneuve, first rule in motorsports broken... They were stupid and failed to gain points because of that... What a shame...

Disaserous race for us but still pleased to be in 5th for the championship.

Yeah i only noticed that in the race. It's all sorted now with the 2003 shape and textures in :-D

strong drive for trulli and sorry for unlucky alonso. but the most important is again we got points.

BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX - FRIDAY PRACTICE & QUALIFYING

We headed straight to Brazil from Malaysia without any delay, although the rain we thought would turn up in Malaysia for the end of the race, has seemed to have followed us to Brazil. It was a wet practice but by the time we moved onto qualifying the clouds had parted and the track had dried up.

Again no points, what a useless team... :p can't help being very disappointed with both the drivers. We need some new blood in BAR.

What an outstanding drive from quick Nick. Absolute pleasure to watch

nice performances by marc and juan pablo in fp.ralf made me happy with the pole he got,unluckily he couldn't resist to Raikkonen;apparently he was from another planetmontoya is still in points,so we're on 3rd place in WCC.Really nice

My GPGSL Career

a terrible race after a promising qualifying session. We had to improve our race pace immediately.

Its been a bad start for the season for Jaguar, poor reliability. The team will have to consider its engine options for next season!

Slight break in racing as i leave my desktop back at home, should resume a week today :-D

Right, I'm back from my camping trip :D

Very pleased with Fisichella so far. Firman just needs a bit more luck and hopefully they can keep the points coming.
