Gary Cameron Memorial Championship

Post by Aislabie »

In 2010, in a universe slightly different to our own, a man called Gary Cameron became a champion, the first king of the reject pile. He did so without winning a race, in a series with the perfect points system: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for the top 10 cars, no exceptions.

In the interest of applying this to Formula 1, we are going to have to lay down some ground rules:
  1. Shared drives share the points. It's more fun, and it's what the site I'm using to make my life easier does.
  2. All entries count for points. That goes for drivers and constructors: none of that dropped scores nonsense, and if you enter five cars and score the top five positions, congratulations.
  3. The Indy 500 counts until it doesn't. This is because I'm not spreadsheeting it myself, and thus including the Indy 500 is no extra work.
  4. The International Cup for F1 Manufacturers begins in 1950, because why not.
  5. All races score full points, including the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.
  6. Sprint Races will either count for nothing, or they will count the same as full Grands Prix. I have not decided yet which it will be.
I think that's everything. Let's get cracking with some very low-effort content.

1950

Post by Aislabie »

The 1950 season saw the first of many F1 title battles, this one contested between team-mates. Going into the final round at Monza, the three Alfa Romeos of Luigi Fagioli (36 points), Giuseppe Farina (31 points) and Juan Manuel Fangio (30 points) were all still in the hunt. Fagioli was the favourite: although the slowest and oldest of these three elderly gentlemen, Fagioli had one thing in his favour: reliability. Having finished all races except Monaco, where he was taken out by the lap one wave, he had made a virtue of coming in second place.

Now, in this final round, all he needed to secure his title was to place in the top five. In the early laps, Fagioli slipped down as far as seventh place but he was driving a sensible race. By staying safely ahead of Raymond Sommer without pushing the car at all, he was able to let attrition take its course: first Sanesi, then Ascari retired from the race. Fagioli was now up into Championship position, and all he had to do was see it home. He did just that, even with cars retiring around him, finishing the race in an excellent third place behind Farina and Ascari, who had taken over from Serafini in a shared drive.
