Daily Kat News
Press Release Pre-Season
By Harry Katze
By the rumours on the British camping near the headquarters of Lotus there is a chance that the new Lotus manager named Rick Hammercat is offering Piercarlo Ghinzani a one year contract as Lotus their official reserve driver for the 1991 season, Hammercat told the tabloids that he "is looking for an experienced driver who can standby when one of the main drivers (Red. Gugelmin and Comas) is unable to finish the race weekend and the rumours are pointing towards Ghinzani since he is also an Italian favourited driver".
The rumours received at the postbox of Daily Kat News are talking about 200.000 a 500.000 pond offered by the personal sponsor of Ghinzani who is creating creative mural arts around the globe, we will see how that ends in the world of today.
If all of above is true, that will mean that the Lotus team would be complete for this season with 3 drivers with enough experience to survive the 1991 season.
To be continue soon!

Brabham will buy the Ferrari engine upgrade, but take no chassis upgrade right now.
Re: Formula Draft 91 - A new Era of F1 | R&D Phase 1
One question: if you get multiple upgrades (medium or small), do they have to be all on the same area of the car? Or can you mix & match?

You can mix and match the area, but not the sizes.
So a small Grip-Drag-Weight combo f.e. is possible.

Autsport wrote:Safety concerns in Formula One
The recent injuries to Jean Alesi and Thierry Boutsen, do raise concerns throughout the paddock. This leads to a decision by the FISA, to introduce stricter crash tests ahead of the 1992 season. Team insiders claim that this will go hand in hand with a change in car weight, some saying that the chassis will be 15 kg heavier on average.
This is however not the only change in regulation. As an immediate answer, the FISA is mandating every team to contract a stand-by reserve driver before the next race at Hockenheim. In case of further injuries this season, those will fill the vacant seats. "Should a team fail to provide evidence of a contracted reserve driver, they will get one assigned by us", said a FISA spokesperson.

Emmanuel Collard will replace Boutsen until Alesi is fit again, when Alesi is fit again Alliot will take Boutsen's seat.

First up Ligier

Small driveability:
0-50: 46
Small Reliability:
0-50: 31

Jordan: small grip:
0-50: 46
Drawback drag: 42
Drawback driveability: 15
Okay I'd say
Lotus with two medium grip updates:
Medium Grip:
0-100: 21
Drawback Drag: 7
Drawback Driveability: 11
Medium Grip:
0-100: 11
Drawback Drag: 6

Reliability:
0-100: 100
Drawback weight: 0,5kg

0-100: 91

That's an incredible session for Minardi
Reserve Driver Signings
Claudio Langes -> Leyton House
Mika Salo -> Arrows
Emmanuel Collard -> Ligier
Cheapest driver available -> Minardi
The cheapest driver available is a Rookie, and an Italian Rookie would make sense. So Andrea Montermini it is.

Re: Formula Draft 91 - A new Era of F1 | R&D Phase 1
One thing I must ask, since we're close to 1992: what the hell will happen to Leyton House (the company, not the F1 team)? Will they be yeeted, will they stay or is it up to me?

It would probably make sense to rename to March, just like it RL. But as it's a very different timeline, we might as well say the Leyton House controversy is never happening, so I think it's up to you in the end.
Gameplay wise, it doesn't change anything for you.

Gitanes Team Lotus will promote their reserve driver Piercarlo Ghinzani atthe indoor trophy race.
His italian roots and his driverskill will be handy for the indoor race.

Re: Formula Draft 91 - A new Era of F1 | R&D Phase 1
Super happy for Mansell finally getting his first championship after the promise of 1990 for both him and the team. Benetton have a strong team line-up going into 1992, and are very impressed especially with Irvine's end-of-year performance at Suzuka. To finish ahead of Senna in the standings only proves he is a possible future GOAT.
As Benetton is an Italian company, we'd love to take part in the Indoor Trophy. However, we run a British flag, though maybe after winning the championship they'll let that slide. Also, why not give our reserve driver Mark Blundell a shot while we're at it?
Therefore we're going to test the water. Mark Blundell will head to the Indoor Trophy to represent Benetton, and if there's a huge amount of demand, we'll send in #1 Nigel Mansell at the last minute as our second driver.

Just to confirm what I said to Hermann yesterday, Mansell will take time out of his well earned holiday and compete in the Indoor Trophy too.
If there's even more demand for entrants, Flavio can pull some strings and bring Eddie Irvine along too.
