"SR F1 Championship 2002"

I'm not sure whether anyone will be interested but I'll give it a whirl. Just to liven the forum up a bit.

I'm going to start a World Championship on Grand Prix 4 and you have to pick a driver from the list below. I will give you the race results when I have them. Remember that all the cars and drivers will be equal so the race results will be completely random.

Michael Schumacher
Rubens Barrichello
Juan Pablo Montoya
Ralf Schumacher
David Coulthard
Kimi Raikkonen
Jarno Trulli
Jenson Button
Nick Heidfeld
Felipe Massa
Takumo Sato
Giancarlo Fisichella
Jacques Villeneuve
Olivier Panis
Heinz Harald Frentzen
Enrique Bernoldi
Eddie Irvine
Pedro De La Rosa
Mika Salo
Allan McNish
Mark Webber
Alex Yoong

First come, first serve basis.

Grandprix just told me I was 1st on the grid with 9 minutes to go.

How unlucky was I to go into last position?

:D

Last minute drama in topsy-turvy qualifying session

Brazil saw the first wet qualifying and Coulthard took pole position with an extremely late time. Everyone was very close, as has been the case this season, but everything changed. The session started wet with light drizzle but with 15 minutes left, a dry line emerged. The lottery began and it seemed like everyone had pole at one point and it was the last car on the track was going to get the pole. Coulthard crossed the line with 10 seconds of the session remaining and was allowed to finish the lap and claimed pole position.

Full qualifying times:

1st Coulthard (Quinty) 1m18.987s
2nd Montoya (Foreman) 1m19.279s
3rd Frentzen (KR) 1m19.337s
4th Yoong (No.2) 1m19.434s
5th McNish (Dr. Pepper - oni) 1m19.448s
6th Panis (Your Honour) 1m19.572s
7th R Schumacher (Badgerman) 1m19.843s
8th Salo (PS2 Proud) 1m20.446s
9th Fisichella (Major Chip Hazard) 1m20.542s
10th Raikkonen (Figo) 1m20.952s
11th Trulli (Triple H) 1m21.054s
12th Massa (Ortega) 1m21.055s
13th Barrichello (Reddy 2002) 1m21.175s
14th M Schumacher (Ronaldo) 1m21.781s
15th Villeneuve (James Pond) 1m21.791s
16th Button (Jetster) 1m21.983s
17th Heidfeld (Daxter) 1m22.069s
18th Webber (Ant) 1m22.202s
19th De La Rosa (Grandprix) 1m22.357s
20th Sato (Bizarre Cabbage) 1m22.481s
21st Irvine (Dead Wonder) 1m22.792s
22nd Bernoldi (Afrojoe) 1m23.001s

Coulthard benefited by being the last out on the track but is he the fastest racer in Brazil?

KR and me are the 2 Arrows cars, and we're top of the constructers championship.

I'm also 3rd in the drivers championship, and KR is equal 1st.

Quite the opposite of how Arrows is doing in real life.

He's doing it using a game called Grand Prix 4 for the PC, which has the same racers, tracks and teams as F1 2002.

I think Grandprix sits and watches the race, making notes of what's going on or something like that. :-)

Yeah i agree, this is good.

This is really good Grandprix, keep this up.

Well, I didn't finish again but if I hadn't have got banned I would be montoya, dang.

Anyways, great stuff Grandprix, keep it up. Oh, and by the way, how are you doig this, through F1 2002 or sumthing?

Dammit! I started first and ended up 14th. Bloody rain.

Again, top stuff Grandprix. Can't wait till next one, when will that be?

Spins and roundabouts

Frentzen won the Malaysia Grand Prix in a spinfest. Rain decided this race as the biggest challenge was not winning the race, but staying on the track! The weather started drizzly but turned monsoon after just 16 laps.

Raikkonen spun out of the lead on lap 2 and spins 4 other times during the race. De La Rosa spins 3 times in 2 laps early on and spins late on as well. McNish has a spin and a coming together with Barrichello. Montoya, Villeneuve, Bernoldi, Fisichella, Trulli, Massa, Coulthard, Sato, Irvine and Michael Schumacher all spin at one point in the race.

Irvine ran wide on lap 11 and while recovering, Michael Schumacher rams Irvine and causes damage to both cars. Both require pit stops to correct the problem.

Disaster for Minardi as both retire with technical difficulties. Yoong went out on lap 20 with a water leak and Webber went out after 33 laps with an engine failure.

Salo and Trulli were the only other retirements. Salo had a brake problem after 30 laps and Trulli and Michael Schumacher had a coming together resulting in Trulli being hit by Villeneuve and being damaged beyond repair. Villeneuve required a pit stop to repair a front wing.

Frentzen drove a flawless race and while everyone was dropping off the track, he kept his head and won. Panis couldn't catch Frentzen because of his inferior grid position and had to settle for a comfortable second. Heidfeld had a few scares but managed third. Ralf Schumacher, Bernoldi and Massa rounded out the top six.

Full results:

1st Frentzen (KR) 1h48m59.657s
2nd Panis (Your Honour) +15.666s
3rd Heidfeld (Daxter) +32.624s
4th R Schumacher (Badgerman) +41.693s
5th Bernoldi (Afrojoe) +49.430s
6th Massa (Ortega) +59.114s
7th Fisichella (Major Chip Hazard) +1m01.914s
8th Montoya (Foreman) +1m04.578s
9th McNish (Dr Pepper - oni) +1m12.245s
10th Coulthard (Quinty) +1m18.691s
11th Button (Jetster) +1m33.016s
12th Irvine (Dead Wonder) +1m36.714s
13th Barrichello (Reddy 2002) +1m37.155s
14th Raikkonen (Figo) +1m44.204s
15th M Schumacher (Ronaldo) +1m49.091s
16th De La Rosa (Grandprix) +1m51.684s

GOD. I totally forgot about this topic and I come back and it rules. It's a great change to the 'real life' standings. I love ferrari but it sucks the way they always win.

Even though I'm Salo and I retired from the last race and qualified 19th for Malaysia, it still rules.
