Read this first, please!
As some of you may know, Matsuo Tadayoshi will drive in the AutoReject GTI in 2017. I created him in 2009, when I was 8
Well, today I've found an old document from 2010: The whole career of Tadayoshi! I've made that before I even started learning english at school
Sorry, half of the text is about one race weekend with lots of big accidents... I tried making race reviews, but stopped because I didn't have time for that, and the only completed one is in the text.
The pre-2014 career is entriely made by me with no games or such things, but I'll use rFactor for the F1 races. The bad thing about that is that I can't do 2015 before the mod is released
Anyway, here's the text (sorry about the grammar):
Matsuo Tadayoshi
DOB: 8/12/1993
Country: Japan
Racing Record
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matsuo began karting at a very young age. He got a free karting practise as his seventh birthday present. He cried at the car whilst getting into the circuit, and was scared of the karts' noise. When they arrived, he saw the word "racing" in some advertisement, and demanded his whole family to drive with him. He had a big family; five children and two adults. It cost near 500 euros to buy them all some racing time. Matsuo was immidately better than any other junior and set the hall's lap record just three weeks afterwards. The hall staff also noticed the talent of the young boy and let him race in a semi-professional junior karting event. He lapped the whole field at lap 16 and made the remaining 59 laps a snoozefest, eventually winning by eight laps. The race's officials were impressed and sent Matsuo into a racing school. He raced karts 7 years and won 3 Japanese championships before he was given a Formula Ford test. Despite Matsuo's slow lap times and many mistakes, he got himself an entry in the Asian championship, despite being the youngest driver of the whole field. Matsuo finished 11th out of the 23 full season drivers, winning the season's final race. The next year, he won the championship easily and had some Formula Renault tests. As a 16 year old, he wasn't the youngest this time. He spent an year testing different cars, but he wanted to drive in the series he tested first; the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup. The year 2010 was a nightmare to him, he was beaten 38-5 in points by his own rookie teamie! He still got a drive with the same team for the next year. He finished 3rd in the points in the team's only car. For 2012 he got a drive in the GP3 series with the Jenzer team. His first points came at the Istanbul sprint race where he scored 5th after an incredible comeback drive; he broke his rear wing early in the race and had to fix it, costing him 3 minutes. Matsuo won his first GP3 race at Valencia, where he actually won both races. After 4 more wins later in the season, Matsuo already was the champion coming into the season's final round at Monza. In practise, there was lots of discussion about the safety of the cars. The rear wings would break very easily, the tires weren't suitable for Monza and the first corner was pretty unsafe, whilst 30 drivers try to overtake eachother and even go four-wide. The first practise was stopped after 4 minutes, because of a big crash. Nick Yelloly was approaching Variante Ascari at full speed, and suddendly his rear wing just flew away! Yelloly's car hit the barrier, flipped over and came into rest upside down. Luckily, Nick was okay. The whole session was abandoned, because there were lots of punctures and a similar wing failure on James Calado's car. In the second practise, only 9 drivers got a time better than 1.50, because they were afraid of similar failures. Matsuo decided to go flat out, and was the fastest driver of the session, 2 seconds faster than the second-quickest time of Aaro Vainio. The qualifying was cancelled because of safety concerns, and the grid was decided by reversing the point standings. Therefore, Matsuo would start dead last and next to his rival Vainio. The start was especially messy, with Mitch Evans stalling and Yelloly hitting the back of his car. Debris was flying everywhere, and Yelloly hurt his hand. At the restart, everyone got away well, but Simon Trummer was flipped at the first chicane! He was unhurt and stated that the accident was his fault. The race 1 was finally underway after the second restart, but it was shortened from 16 laps to 10. The only retirement was Marlon Stockinger, who suffered from a flat tyre and crashed. At the start of the second race, there was a huge pile-up involving 11 cars, 10 of which retired. Matsuo was involved and hurt his finger. His only 2013 race was the Indianapolis 500, althought he did not qualify; he was 0.004 seconds slower than the last qualifier. In January 2014, he got an unexcepted phone call from the Sauber F1 Team; Esteban Gutierrez' sponsors were not paying enough, and the team wanted Matsuo to drive for them! Matsuo was also allowed to choose a permament racing number. He chose 21, which would also have been Gutierrez' number, had he kept his seat. At the Bahrain tests, Matsuo was about 2 seconds off the Mercedes' pace and 0.3 seconds slower than Adrian Sutil, his team-mate. Could this be the new Yuji Ide?
