Grand Prix Rejects

1981 SEASON February 6th, 1981 — Midrand — The grid has changed somewhat between this year and the last. Williams and Merzario are gone, in come Toleman and Theodore. Clay is gone, but Marc remains here, which will make him our longest-serving driver, with three seasons, and 49 starts, if nothing g...

1980 SEASON January 4th, 1980 — Leicester — I wish we could have signed Patrese. Unfortunately, we could not come to an agreement. Our second option was Reutemann, but he was too expensive for us. But who knows? Maybe Clay will be just what we need. An experienced hand to show us how it's done. Jan...

1979 SEASON January 6th, 1979 — Leicester — I don't know how to feel about the upcoming season. The M179 is better than the M178, but not by a lot.

1978 SEASON January 5th, 1978 — Leicester — I'm feeling pretty good about the coming year. '77 was bad, but we did learn a lot from it. The M177 is gone and buried. And I doubt any driver will ever infuriate me more than Loris. Plus, I'm pretty happy about managing to snag Eddie out of Theodore's h...

1977 SEASON January 1st, 1977 — Leicester — I'm feeling pretty optimistic for this season. The M177 should be faster than the M176. Not just that, but I'm feeling pretty confident about our drivers. Nestor and Alex did their best in uncompetitive machinery, but I don't think they could have gotten ...

(Note: All results came from messing around with the Python AltF1. I decided to write up the seasons in a short journal style. So meet the Montt F1 team, a Chilean-owned, Leicestershire-based team.) January 16th, 1976 — Leicester — I suppose I should begin by mentioning why I'm doing this. I suppos...
