Have I ever won a grand prix with a second driver?

Well it's the main problem of this signing system, almost no one ever won a race with his second driver ^^
But I prefer that 4 different teams won a race with only one driver than 2 teams with both their drivers

Yeah I agree, it's just that my second drivers have been pretty decent (Amon and Reutteman) but they haven't won even in the fastest car. I just checked it out, Musso and Ascari both won in 1960, and were really close in the standings.

Am i really the exception to the rule?
I think i even won a title with both my drivers over their contract length

Yep

Ugh. And it's not even close with #8.

1973 World Grand Prix Season (9-12)

The 1973 season is over ! Congratulations to the winners !

Off season instructions will follow...

Meff28s · Apr 11, 2020

This is the "contract reset" ! First, you will all sign your #1 Driver ! Drivers Market is open for 48h !

PS : Let's have a thought for @pierre815 who just lost both titles by only 1 tiny point, to 2 different teams ! A dramatic record that should hold for at least 50 years

That was actually incredible

I agree. Imagine if we could have enjoyed that last races on television.

Never would have thought to actually win another title finally. How close was that?

And has anybody managed to win a title but 'only' be the third best team?

Five close teams this season

2 teams with P3, one even with P4 (mighty Fangio)

Millsy24 · Apr 11, 2020

had the best 2 drivers

-> finishes 6th

nice

That was a crazy season indeed!

Another drama: dropping from 2nd to 5th in the prestige rankings right at the contract reset. T_T .... The worst possible spot as no good drivers for both rounds for me.

Drivers' Signings : 1st Round

Drivers' Signings : 2nd Round

You now have to sign your #2 Driver.

Both Setup Window and Drivers Market are open for 48h !
Which means that I need a wish-list & a number (for those who haven't already sent it)
