Nah. Autosport ("Autosport or it didn't happen," remember?) said the number 1 driver was a world champion. Ergo, being a French team, it had to be a driver with a French-sounding name. Which leaves... Jacques Villeneuve! (a.k.a. Driver Numberone!)

Lol, I think you completely missed the reference, Cassell would be a French former champion.

FWIW Dupont is now the number 3 sponsor of Gordon, behind Feed the Old People and Pepsi (I actually would argue its behind Just for Men as well, going by Jeff's look this year, but nevertheless) and because of this, the 24 like almost all cars, is no longer painted but wrapped (part of the contract with Dupont said the car had to be painted with Dupont paints).

Cassell was Alain Prost's pseudonym in the 90's video game F1GP, the entire grid being made up of fictional (just like the book and this whole rumored team thing) characters due to licensing issues. Since this 'new team' is French and Driver #1 being a former world champion this leaves Cassell as the obvious choice. Robert Davis (Mansell) and Helmut Becker (Schumacher) being the other ones in with a shot, geddit?

I think the problem is you're assuming a lot of people played that game to to point that they can recall the names of the drivers and which real-life drivers they correspond to 15-20 years after it came out.

I can remember some of them!

I know that Johnny Herbert was the extremely unimaginative 'Jim Johnson'.

Andrea De Cesaris was the quite magnificent 'Mathieu D'Orleans'.

I can't remember my alter-ego though. It doesn't really matter as I never qualified anyway. At least they called AGS 'Gonfaron'!!!!

Why didn't Frau Wurz include Herr Wurz in her fictional grid?
"You scratch my back I scratch yours..."

I am wondering if the Wurz marriage might be in trouble, could we see it collapsing before our very eyes?

There are 7 Warning Signs Your Marriage is in Trouble:
1. You no longer have anything in common.
Since all Frau Wurz does is write her novels, and considering the fact that Herr Wurz is an illiterate, they have nothing in common anymore.

2. You can do no right.
Herr Wurz continuously fails to destroy the planet.
And Frau Wurz writes failed novels that goes for 77p.

3. You are the last to know.
Herr Wurz never lets Frau Wurz in on his evil schemes, and Frau Wurz never revealed to her husband that he was excluded from her fictional grid.

4. A change in appearance.
Herr Wurz is frequently forced to change his appearance when traveling incognito to and from Socotra.

5. Looking for distractions from the problems.
Again, the novels / destroying the planet.

6. Arguing over the same subject repeatedly.
Frau Wurz insists on continuing to refer to their children by assigned numbers, while Herr Wurz argues that calling them code names taken from astrological star charts is a better idea.

7. Intimacy is a thing of the past.
How can they be intimate when Herr Wurz spends most of his time alone in his bunker on Socotra?

Right... This explains a lot. You see, I didn't get my first computer (PC/laptop) until I was 21, half-way through my first Bachelor degree (2003) and didn't get my first games console until about 2006 (a PSP). Got my first PlayStation in about 2009/10. So many computer game references are indeed lost on me. And none of those names appear on the first page of a Google search...

I always had that down as Bertrand Gachot, despite driving car number 33 - 32 was the very Italian Nico Napoli. The helmets were the right way round (the European flag on helmet 32 gives the game away), the names clearly weren't. I'm sure there was another team with its nationalities reversed as well...

...looking through it, there isn't, but the two Finns (Mika Häkkinen and JJ Lehto) were given Swedish names, and Eric van de Poele has (for some reason) an Italian name.

They did? It's Gestner KPW on my version. And Big-Haired Barb is known in car 18 as Enzo d'Angelo. There is a Stefane Gonfaron, who's the equivalent of Eric Bernard.

Well after reading half the book, it's just, how should I say it, boring in a way?

And what is it with the fictional grid composed of real teams mixed with two fictional teams? Just stick with fictional or real.

So I am not the only one who decided to waste 77p on it then?! To be honest, from what I've read so far, it's probably worth 49p max. Possibly even only 10p. Unless there's a major plot twist or something at the end...

That game brings back great memories!

Jose Fernandez (very spanish)= Pedro Chaves.

I just remember the 'Duckhams' podium, with the winning driver popping the champagne (you dont get that in F1 2012!!) and also you can get hit from the rear and bends your rear wing but your engine is good (you just cant steer properly!), if you hit someone though your nose bends and if hit hard enough your engine shuts down!

I am still waiting for the page, where she fells in love with one of the drivers :lol:

Then again, it's a book about a employee in a enterprise, who has a kind of asshole-employer. There is a certain degree of F1 stuff in it, but it could be any kind of employer in the end.

Someone else thinks, that this Dupont guy could be Briatore?

Really, it is all about the two fictional teams, with at most half-a-dozen references to Ferrari (mostly blaming them for blocking or in-race contact, mostly involving Massa...) and once (at most twice) to McLaren. None of the other teams need be there. And most of what we know of what happens on track is through press releases, or complaints about the car from the drivers. It is all off-track action. More about interpersonal relationships than motorsport. Could be absolutely any industry ultimately, as Zetec said...

Yes, you're right actually. I'm quite disappointed that I forgot 'Nico Napoli'. I'm even more disappointed that I forgot 'Andre Lux' - the fact that Grouillard sounds like a brand of cheap washing powder seems appropriate.

You're right, I was getting my Gonfaron's mixed up. It can't have been an accident that they used the name for one of the drivers though.

Enzo d'Angelo. Hmmm....It's not very me.

For those who arent aware, the F1GP game did have a driver name editor (not a seperate, actually in the game) so most would have edited the names if they could be bothered.

The helmets are realistic on the driver selections menu though!

Without going back to F1GP for a mo (and remembering what I'd seen the other day), that one was JJ Lehto.

Maybe he was hiding under an assumed nationality for when he landed himself in hot water (pun probably intended) some years later?

I was actually thinking of purchasing this game. It sounds like fun.
But now when UgncreativeUsergname mentions there is a risk that I could acquire an immunodeficiency syndrome if I do, I think I'll pass.

Back onto the original topic, and SuperEgo was rubbish. I finished reading it on Wednesday. A young Japanese driver was introduced as a background character once or twice. Announced as a replacement driver mid-season, breaks his wrist playing tennis, totally ignored and never mentioned again for the rest of the book (even though presumably his wrist got better). Only has 14 races all season (all of which feature on the 2013 calendar) but leaves in both Bahrain and Valencia! The World Champion is announced at the final round, but no idea of any winning margins in terms of points, or who his main competitors were (in terms of names, where they finished in the race, how many points they ended up behind, etc.). Very little on-track action is the biggest mistake, just covers each event by press release quotations and the odd minor detail. And the primary antagonist entirely gets away with everything unscathed. All very disappointing. I much prefered Racers by Sally Armstrong and Formula One by Bob Judd. They may have been full of sex and drugs storylines, but they also had more characters, each with a greater depth of character, more on-track action, you care more about what's going on, even if the plots are more contrived and implausible...

If I were to only have 14 races from the current calendar?

Code: Select all

1.  Australia        Melbourne           17 Mar
2.  Malaysia         Sepang              24 Mar
3.  China            Shanghai            14 Apr
4.  Monaco           Monte Carlo         26 May
5.  Canada           Montreal            9 Jun
6.  Great Britain    Silverstone         30 Jun
7.  Germany          Nurburgring         7 Jul
8.  Hungary          Hungaroring         28 Jul
9.  Belgium          Spa-Francorchamps   25 Aug
10. Italy            Monza               8 Sep

Code: Select all

11. Singapore        Singapore           22 Sep
12. Japan            Suzuka              13 Oct
13. USA              Americas            17 Nov
14. Brazil           Interlagos          24 Nov

...Leaving out Bahrain, Barcelona, India, Korea and Abu Dhabi. And if I were to have a 16-race calendar, as Bob Judd managed in his novel from 20-odd years ago? I would not reintroduce any of those, but maybe have New Jersey a week after Montreal and Imola at the start of the European season, where it used to be, and where there is a gap in the schedule above.

LellaLombardi · Post by **LellaLombardi** » 07 Apr 2013, 18:01

I've just finished the book actually and I quite enjoyed it. It's important to bear in mind that it is very much written as chick-lit from the point of view of the Press Officer, which is probably not to the taste of most of this forum so don't expect loads of technical detail or racing action. It's a fun, slightly trashy sunlounger book. I wonder how heavily based on Briatore the main character is, in spite of the usual "any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental" disclaimer. I suspect the main driver is largely Montoya, with a bit of Raikkonen mixed in and the number two driver does seem to be based on Alex Wurz. The rival team boss is probably based on Eddie Jordan.

It mentions that Dupont's corporate colour is aqua (and most certainly NOT turquoise). The Magna team is always refered to as the Martini Magna team, in the same way we always refer to Mastercard Lola. So I assume Magna is something like either of these:
