Forum topic: Season 43 Recap

This is a new forum post i'm hoping to make once a season for now. It's going to be very simple this time, but i'm just trying to add a community life to the game.

Division 1:Two teams, Renttu Racing and Fenninger Racing, dominated the standings and results. Although 5 other teams scored at least one podium too. Congratulations to Renttu, who took the championship, not the first division 1 title, but their first since season 38. Super Mirafiora scored their first ever division 1 podium.

Comgratulations to our new division 1 teams; ElMayoGPTeam, Sutton Racing, R3 Team and JP Suave Racing, who won their respective division 2s. All 4 of these are in their first ever season in division 1. ElMayo, Sutton and R3 were all in division 3 as recently as season 37 or 38, and JP Suave having sat of their division 2, but never quite winning for a while now.

Division 2.1 saw domination from ElMayoGPTeam with 5 1-2s and 9 wins total, an extremely tight midfield with 3rd-5th finishing the season only 6 points apart and all teams scoring points. 7 Different teams scored a podium, the highest of any division. Joining the remaining teams will be; Scuderia Tiffosi, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Corvid Racing, Dinger Zoomie Racing and MacSalaatikko. 6 Teams with an active manager should leave everyone safe from relegation, with promotion and prestige to fight for.

2.2 saw an extremely tight fight up and down the grid. Sutton only taking the constructors title at the finale, there was 5 different race winners from 5 different teams in the first 5 races, and 10 unique drivers on the podium. 3rd-5th were separated by only 3 points at the end and 4 teams, 6th-9th being separated by only 6 points to fight to avoid relegation. Joining them will be: Silver Cosmos, Spirits, Shelby and Climate Masters B.V. And they look to have another close fought season with 10 active managers. Likely with a very tight midfield battle again.

R3 took the title in 2.3 at the final race too, and only by 3 points. An early contender for the title dropped out after only a few races and there were a few races it was unsure who would be able to turn up. The fight for relegation was taken with only 1 race to go by Wonda Winds. Joining them are My Sparrowhark Racing, Baby X, Pagani, Fucho F1 and Twitch Quapka Racing so 2.3 also seems like a fairly safe division, 6 active managers also should mean the players are safe and fighting for prestige and prize money.

2.4 saw a comfortable season for JP Suave, a largely 1-car team, securing the constructors anyway. The drivers titles team mate only managing a single podium and then nothing above 7th, finishing 11th overall. 2 Other teams got a win, including Jaguar Racings maiden win in division 2 and 6 different teams got a podium in the season. Joining them is: Goodspeed Formula Racing, Moneytron ACS, Rossignol Racing and Climate Masters N.V. This gives 11 active teams to begin the season, and will be the hardest fought division 2 for avoiding relegation, with quite a few of them new managers.

Like i said, a short summary this season, and a little late too.

very nice read and a very good idea.

Thanks for mentioning my first win

Excellent review Gareth! I hope to feature a little more heavily in the next one

I like these reviews. (I wouldn't mind a little bit more detail per division)

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! Congrats on the win Matthius. I wanted to highlight a few of the "smaller" stories, the stuff that's huge to us the players, but easy to miss next to seeing who won division 1.

I kept it a little short this season for a few reasons;
-I left it too late and so kinda rushed it out
-I wasn't sure if Frank would consider it too similar to the actual press releases and especially as i'm not a supporter at the moment didn't want to undermine or "steal" that feature or whatever. Personally i think it's different enough and adds to the greater community of the game, which should only help him, but i would delete this if he wasn't happy with it (It's his game, so only fair)
-Honestly i was just a little nervous it was silly and people wouldn't be interested.

That being said, because of the replies here, i've already taken some small notes for this seasons race and will continue to do so so i can expand the season 44 recap!
