Alternate F1 - The Revolutionary Era - 1995 Season

[Gertrand Bachot]

The world's most murderous racing series moves onto its next set of corpses. Time to decide who they shall be.

The Cars

The chassis will be mostly the same as they were in the real life season, with slight performance adjustments based on the previous performance of a team the season before, and to fit the narrative of the period.

The Drivers

Before the start of each season, you are free to offer contracts for two driver slots. Unlike in previous seasons, you won't have any objectives to meet, although some drivers are locked into certain teams and there may be certain driver requirements imposed on certain teams (again for storyline purposes).

If multiple teams are bidding for a certain driver, RNG shall decide their fate, as usual.

The Teams

14 teams for 1995, 2 cars per team. These 14 teams have been determined by the needs of the canon and previous developments:

Mild Seven Benetton Arrows (kevinbotz)
Tyrrell Racing Organisation (Wazzle)
Marlboro McLaren Mercedes (TCBY)
Footwork Team Oreca (Aislabie)
MTV Simtek (Dexter249)
Total Jordan Peugeot (Dom)
Pacific Team Lotus (Frogfoot9013)
Larrousse Gitanes Blondes (Pasta)
Forti Ford (Butterfox)
Minardi Scuderia Italia (pinkd56)
Rothmans Williams Renault (Klon)
Scuderia Ferrari (GB)
Red Bull Sauber Ford (shawn040217)
Junior DAMS F1 (Kinnikuniverse)

The Race Weekend

305 km except Monaco, you all know how a Formula One race works.

The Points System

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

The Race Calendar

On the wiki.

I'm much more active on the Discord so you can hit me up over there if you want me to do anything for you (within reason of course).

At the minute, I need existing team owners to confirm their teams. You have until the end of this week (24th) to do this.

[Klon]

The Williams domination of the 90's shall continue under my watch

[Aislabie]

I would like to confirm that Oreca will be continuing into 1995.

After a very successful 1994 season, we would love to continue our partnership with Mugen

Death to Larrousse.

[pasta_maldonado]

Larrousse confirm their entry for the 1995 Formula 1 World Championship. In addition, we confirm the return of the hugely popular "bag a baguette" offer from the boulangerie on Fridays - now with the addition of a haggis option in celebration of David Coulthard's efforts for the team last season.

[Dom_Wings]

Jordan confirms its entry for the 1995 alongside a new exciting era for the team with Peugeot as the engine supplier.

[Kinnikuniverse]

DAMS makes its debut in F1 after years of excellence in the lower categories. We also request that, due to us being french, that we gain access to the 1994 Renault Engines please.

[Pinkd56]

Minardi/Scuderia Italia sticks around for another crack at the big tim

[Frogfoot9013]

Pacific Grand Prix will be continuing on for 1995, asset-stripping merging with Lotus to form Pacific Team Lotus.

[Nessafox]

Forti thinks it's rady to stp up to F1. Mor latr but xpt brazilian subs ffs on lttr on my kyboard ain't working, will dit this latr whn i got nw battris so it's lss gibbrish

Here's the same text with a functional keyboard:

Forti thinks it's ready to step up to F1. More later but expect brazilian scrubs. fff one letter of my keyboard ain't working, will edit this later when i got new batteries, so it's less gibberish

[kevinbotz]

Benetton Arrows will strive to defend their crown for 1995.

[TomWazzleshaw]

Tyrrell will come back for another year of doing Tyrrell things

[Shawn040217]

Sauber F1 will continue their reign of absolute mediocrity for 1995.

[This Could Be You]

I will continue ensuring the continual participation of Mclaren through 1995, with the aim of reversing the downward trend of performance by utilising a strategic partnership with Mercedes-Benz

[Gertrand Bachot]

And with that, it is time to move to the next phase.

You can bid for drivers freely, however note that a few teams have a driver locked in.

As a result of drawing closer towards the end of 1990s Alt-F1, engine suppliers have for the most part been pre-decided for this year. This is done for narrative reasons and to ensure things properly lock up with the state of Alt-F1 at around the year 2000. Therefore you won't be able to bid on engines from this year onwards.

Entries (as well as drivers locked in) can be found on the wiki.

Footwork Team Oreca
We would like to appeal the decision to award Mugens to Larrousse straight after they had a very successful season with Oreca.

Car #9

1. Mika Hakkinen (full season)
2. Jeremy-Etienne Voeckler (full season)
3. Chris Dagnall (full season - confirmed by Aerond)

Car #10

1. Chris Dagnall (full season - confirmed by Aerond)
2. Nigel Mansell (British GP)
   Kazuki Fushida (PAC, JPN - only if we get Mugens otherwise Taki Inoue)
   Mike Boullier (FRA, BEL)
   Christian Fittipaldi (all remaining rounds)
3. Didier Artzet (all remaining rounds)
4. Damon Hill (all remaining rounds)

If we end up with empty seat(s) after that then it officially heralds the Death Throes

Apologies for the sheer number of edits there. I had a severe skill issue making the list formatting work.

As potential reserve drivers i'll keep my own DEC drivers like Dennis Mignolet, GIo Van Dycke or Dimitry Vitkin, no need to rng them, unless someone else wants them of course.

[Gertrand Bachot]

Well, it's certainly been a while, hasn't it?

All the races run so far are down below:

Brazilian Grand Prix Qualifying
Brazilian Grand Prix Race
Argentinian Grand Prix Qualifying

Pacific Grand Prix Qualifying
Pacific Grand Prix Race
San Marino Grand Prix Qualifying
San Marino Grand Prix Race

Stewarding notes:
Car #19 (David Coulthard) originally finished 3rd at the San Marino Grand Prix but was disqualified for dangerous driving and given a race ban for the Spanish Grand Prix as a result of said infraction
Car #12 (Taki Inoue) was also given a race ban for the Spanish Grand Prix for dangerous driving

It has been agreed elsewhere that Larrousse will run Tom Douglas in Coulthard's place.

[BurningBlaze05RaweCeek]

I, BurningBlaze05 (not born in 2005) will be taking over Simtek from the 1995 Spanish Grand Prix and onwards, we'll be running Jordi Gené in place of Taki Inoue. (Which was decided beforehand?) (I don't like Inoue much, just to put that here)

I look forward to being in charge of the team as well. (But as I was -12 in 1995, I think I might need a few races to learn the ropes of alt-F1)
