QuickSim: Alternate F1 - The Manufacturer Era - 2002 Season

Post by Klon »

The Simulator

Simtek wrote:Grand Prix 2, same as what I use for Anglo-Irish F4, same as what Normal uses for F3 Eurasia, what novitopoli and CaptainGetz12 use for their F4 series, what Ataxia uses for IndyCar, what Pasta uses for... look, you get the idea, it's popular, it works, moving on.

The Cars

There will be little deviation from the cars that were run in real F1 in this time period, mostly slight performance adjustments based on the previous performance of a team the season before.

The Drivers

Before the start of each season, you are free to offer contracts for two driver slots.

Your choice will be limited in that you must fulfill two out of three objectives when signing drivers. Those objectives will be given and explained to you in private.

If multiple teams are looking for a certain driver, RNG will decide their fate.

The Teams

11 teams for 2002, 2 cars per team. Those 11 teams have been determined by the needs of the canon and previous developments:

Williams (novitopoli)
Ferrari (biscione)
McLaren (petoli)
Sauber (wizzie)
BAR (This Could Be You)
Jordan (Reject_Dom)
Prost (ataxia)
Jaguar (pinkd56)
Renault (kevinbotz)
Minardi (Normal32)
Toyota (TBA)

If any team owners fail to report back, their replacements will be decided by me in a hopefully fair selection process.

The Race Weekend

305 km except Monaco, you all know how a Formula One race works. Furthermore, there will be two one-hour sessions to determine the grid.

The Points System

10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 for the time being.

The Race Calendar

See the wiki for updates

I hereby ask all team owners to report back to the series. Furthermore, for the sake of both quick progress and allowing driver selection, I ask ALL users who own a DEC of a driver that is to compete in the remaining time period of this game (2002-2009) to report in and state their goals, their preferences team-wise and for how long their driver is available. If you wish I can also tell you whether your expectations are realistic. I also request all users interested in Toyota to write a paragraph on whether why you should be given the team.

Sacre-bleu, we survived! Prost will continue into 2002.

However, I won't be at the helm - it's open to someone else.

I am interested in taking on the role as Toyota team manager and I believe I should get the job because firstly, I have been working behind the scenes for most of 2001 in the team's testing program and thus I know what challenges the team will face in their first season of competition. Secondly, I have a good idea of who I can sign in terms of drivers for the year. Thirdly, I'm not expecting the team to start winning from the start; rather, I'll be pleased if the team can scrape the odd point or two. Obviously the long term goal would be to win a grand prix, but I am aware it could take several seasons before we are close to achieving that goal. Fourthly, I can manage a team very well if given the right resources and the opportunity. Fifthly, I don't play political games in the F1 world and I generally stick to rules and I do what I am asked to do. So, these are the reasons on why I should become Toyota team manager.

On a side note, Gertrand Bachot is looking for a drive, so if anyone is interested, please let me know.

If nobody else wants a team doomed to a fatal death, I'll do it. I don't think Alt-F1 Current Era had a really rejectful team of HRT's caliber, so I'll aim to recreate that.

*RACE WINNER* Sammy Jones is looking forward to an even better 2002, and after comprehensively beating 1997 champion Jacques Villeneuve last year, will consider offers from other teams alongside continuing with BAR.

Come on then, who wants him? ;)

Also, Daniel Melrose will be looking for a drive in the next few years. The current Australian F3 champion is moving up to British F3 this year, with the ultimate aim of winning the Formula One championship

Jack Christopherson is happy at McLaren, but still harbours ambitions of one day racing for Williams, one of his favourite teams. After that, who knows. Maybe CART beckons, much like fellow (almost) Brummie Nigel Mansell?

Giovanni Roda is currently plying his trade in Italian F3, hoping one day he might make his big break with Minardi, as many Italians before him have done....

Ferrari also has a keen eye on his young Daniel Melrose fellow, and will see how he does through the junior ranks...

Williams will be back, of course.
And we'd like to retain Davies (if driver goals play in our cards, ofc).

After careful consideration, I have decided to award Toyota to Pilot and Prost to Salamander. I want to stress that I truly appreciate anyone who has thrown their hat into the ring. I will now proceed to individually message the team owners with the new driver selection process.

DEC owners entering their plans for mid-00s F1 drivers are still appreciated.

2002 Season Preview - 'Till I Collapse

Post by Klon »

BMW WilliamsF1 Team

#1: Ralf Schumacher (Germany): 2001 Formula 1 World Champion, 6 Career Wins
#2: Rhys Davies (Australia): 2x Australian Formula 3 Champion, 2 Career Wins


Retaining their lineup that managed to win both championships last season, BMW-Williams will be eager to strike again. Some argue that this is the strongest lineup in the sport today with Rhys Davies being predicted to quickly join his teammate in the world champions' club.

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro

#3: Michael Schumacher (Germany): Won at least 3 races each year since 1998, 9 Poles in 2001
#4: Giancarlo Fisichella (Italy): Won 2001 Italian Grand Prix, 9 Career Podiums


Michael Schumacher has had nothing but genuine congratulations to his brother for winning last year's title. However, his family loyalty will not carry over into 2002. MSC wants his third championship with Ferrari and with a great rear gunner in Fisichella, he may achieve that goal.

West McLaren Mercedes

#5: James James Davies (United Kingdom): 1992 Life Grand Prix Series Champion, 5 Wins w/ McLaren
#6: Nick Heidfeld (Germany): 1999 Formula 3000 Champion, 34 Career Starts


With Mika Häkkinen enjoying time off from the sport and Jack Christopherson moving on as well, the classic British squad has decided to go with a fresher lineup: James James Davies rejoins McLaren after two years at Jordan and is joined by uprising Mercedes-backed Nick Heidfeld.

Red Bull Sauber Petronas

#7: David Coulthard (United Kingdom): 1991 Macau Grand Prix Winner, 2 Podiums in 2001
#8: Felipe Massa (Brazil): 2001 Euro Formula 3000 Champion, Born in São Paulo


The surprising world-beaters from 2001, Sauber look to continue their upwards swing by retaining David Coulthard. He is paired with Felipe Massa, whom some feel is simply too young to be given a Formula One seat; he is eager to prove those suggestion wrong.

Lucky Strike BAR Honda

#9: Sammy Jones (United Kingdom): 2001 German Grand Prix winner, 52 career starts
#10: Justin Wilson (United Kingdom): 2001 International Formula 3000 Champion, 193 cm tall


Coming off their surprising debut win at the German Grand Prix, BAR is looking to take their game to the next level. David Richards has come in and made a major move in sacking 1997 champion Jacques Villeneuve, replacing him with Justin Wilson. Is that a good move?

DHL Jordan Honda

#11: Kimi Räikkönen (Finland): 2001 Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup Champion, Nicknamed "The Iceman"
#12: Takuma Sato (Japan): 2001 British Formula 3 Champion, First Japanese F1 driver since 1998


Jordan had a down year in 2001, losing their status as contender for race wins. With a near-rookie lineup, the Irish team is looking to turn fortunes around. Now that their engines are actual work Honda engines, it remains to see whether the lineup can live up to the hype.

Prost Grand Prix

#14: Franck Montagny (France): 2001 Open Telefónica by Nissan Champion, Test Driver for Prost since 1999
#15: Tomáš Enge (Czech Republic): First Czech F1 driver, Recreational marijuana user


Despite severe financial issues, Prost GP is still in F1 because of a good WCC payout. However, their issues leave their future very much in doubt. Relying on sponsorship brought in by Enge, who is backed by Coca-Cola, we will have to find out whether the team is even around by the end of the year.

Jaguar Racing F1 Team

#16: Pedro de la Rosa (Spain): 2 Career Wins, Tested for Stewart Grand Prix in 1998
#17: Mark Webber (Australia): 1998 Suzuka 1000km Winner, Fan of Sunderland A.F.C.


Eddie Irvine insanely walked away from a multi-million dollar deal to take some time off after being disappointed with consecutive 8th place finishes by Jaguar. He is not the only one, Ford surely expected more from their squad. With two talented drivers, this year, they may achieve more.

Mild Seven Renault F1 Team

#18: Fernando Alonso (Spain): 2001 Race of Champions Nations Cup winner, Son of a explosives factory worker
#19: Jenson Button (United Kingdom): Finished on podium in Formula 1 debut, Frome Community College alumni


After a miserable final season, the Benetton Arrows team and name is no more. Instead, Renault has arrived, taking their spot and Mild Seven sponsorship. Renault look to improve the team massively and use an exciting young driver pair to sell many Renault Scénic II.

European Minardi Asiatech

#20: Rubens Barrichello (Spain): Tested for McLaren in 2000, Son Eduardo was born in 2001
#21: Luca Badoer (Italy): 1992 Formula 3000 Champion, Drove for Minardi in 2001


Minardi has an experienced lineup and a functional engine. So why should you not expect a great run in 2002? Well, their lack of funding is gonna severly hurt their chances of improving their car, which will most likely not be the most powerful out of the gate either.

Panasonic Toyota Racing

#22: John Zimmer (Australia): 11 Career Starts, Owns Australian Formula Ford Series team ZimSport
#23: Allan McNish (United Kingdom): 1998 Le Mans 24 Hours winner, Long-time F1 test driver


Toyota has all the tools to succeed. A high budget, a great and long testing run and two competent drivers. John Zimmer has spend 2001 building up Toyota's F1 effort after being sacked by Minardi in their quest for sponsorship money, he is joined by well-versed Allan McNish.

It might be late, but it's be appreciated if someone can put Victor Roche and/or Arthur Roche (both are French, twin brothers, 22 yo) in their test driver seat. For storyline purposes. Take one of them or both, that's fine :D

And maybe put me on the waiting list in case someone decided to step off from their managerial responsibility.

Thank you.

Here are the final championship standings, minus the Brazilian GP results which are missing (that would be understandable if this was 2003, but it's a bit of a problem here... :P ) EDIT: it's fixed now:

WDC
1. M. Schumacher 136
2. R. Davies 69
3. Fisichella 66
4. R. Schumacher 45
5. J. Davies 39
6. Heidfeld 22

9. Button 9 (Best Result: 1x3rd, 3x5th)
10. Raikkonen 7
11. Wilson 6
12. Zimmer 4
13. Jones 3 (Best Result: 1x4th)
14. Sato 3 (Best Result: 1x5th)
15. Bourdais 3 (Best Result: 3x6th)
