What if the virtual 1990 series had continued past Phoenix? Although I only care about how Lotus would have done.

Well, I only care about how Williams would've done, and given how he utterly dominated that weekend, I'm pretty sure that year would've largely been BOUTSENWINSLOL

Ligier would have defenitely continued to be rejectful, but my F3000 squad for DAMS looked like they could have taken a second title in a row.

What if the drivers in the Adelaide Rejectrucks race weren't total nitwits? And the stewards, for that matter?

Not before Geoff Donnelly finally took his first victory... though he may well pick one up in CART the rate he's going.

What if Foxdale had decided not to go down the reliability route in the winter of 2013/14 and continued in their quest for power (that their chassis couldn't handle) and poles over finishing results?

More DNFs? :lol:

Their record set for most DNFs in a season probably would have fallen even more, causing the team to lose money, etc. Douglas Mann probably would have given up in disgust. Martin McFry, as much as I call him unlucky, probably wouldn't have been seen as a talent at all. Oh, and ArrowTech would have a more respectable result in the WCC, giving Bosevic more credit perhaps.

A few more what-ifs:
What if the 2014 MRT hadn't been horrifically unreliable?
What if ArrowTech sacked Martins after 2013?
What if ArrowTech picked Vantini over Al Failsal in 2015? (My worst mistake... :oops: )

They would have been FUBAR after 2014, possibly failing to prequalify often.

Philippe Nicolas could have beaten Mark Dagnall to that year's title, seeing the MRT was faster than the DGN most of the time.

Maybe Team Phoenix could have signed Martins for 2014 instead of The Stig (aka Daniel Moreno) :P

Rosco Vantini would have been less of a douche, and he would have only scored about 15-20 points, including a podium or two.

What if Spencer, Melrose and Shizuka hadn't come together at the 2011 Surfers Superprix, taking the two title contenders out of the race? Could Melrose have held on to the win from Spencer and turned the tide in the championship battle?

EDIT: Here's another one for you to digest - What if Melrose had never participated in the MRT Talladega test the week before the 2012 United States Grand Prix? It's been theorised that the Mad Uncle has never been the same since the multiple concussions he suffered in the space of that week, having foolhardily decided to drive at Laguna Seca after his monster Dega shunts, only to have another massive accident at the start of that race.

What if Jack Christopherson had been picked up by another team after his poor half-season? Could he have picked up better results elsewhere?

ArrowTech - The Mad Uncle probably would have scored pole position at Monaco instead of Bosevic, and probably would have held on to a podium. Minor points elsewhere added to Bosevic's total would probably see ArrowTech overhaul Foxdale in the championship. With Lon walking out at the tail end of 2013, it would probably lead to Sammy Jones putting Jack Christopherson in the second car for 2014. The 1997 champ is sadly past it, as he fails to match Jones before being sacked at the end of the year. With Spencer falling out with MRT however, chances are Dave Simpson would have seen out the final few races of the year for MRT, before the Mad Uncle jumped back into the second seat for 2015.

Jones - Staying on for 2015, Melrose abandons plans to open up a consultancy firm, and is duly rewarded with the best car he's driven since 2011. With a point to prove, Melrose scored a multitude of podiums, but can't break through for the elusive victory until a chaotic race in Macau. Through his sheer consistency and speed, Melrose manages to finish 3rd in the championship behind Dagnall and Davies. For 2016, Melrose and Davies would make a straight swap, leading to a Melrose/Dagnall lineup at MRT, and many older F1 fans salivating at the prospect of a former F1 legend and current F1RWRS legend teaming up.

HRT - Melrose somehow has the patience to stick with the crapbox HRT for the entirety of 2015, scoring a fluke 5th place in Macau for his troubles. By season's end however, Melrose and the Zimmers are about two seconds away from beating the ever-loving crap out of each other, thus leading to Melrose getting the sack from the team. With Lon already in the second MRT seat, Melrose considers offers from several midfield teams before taking up the second Kingfisher seat for 2016.

Then Douglas Mann may well have had to look elsewhere for a job, because I sure wasn't going to let Pippa Mann go anywhere else that quickly after her 2012 success...
