Hi Ghiaman,
"Everyone involved" is really just me but thanks very much for the kind words.
Interesting suggestion about adding all the other Championship winning cars, and it did (very briefly) cross my mind. However, that's a tremendous amount of extra cars (almost as many more as I've done here) and many very similar looking ones at that. The pic below only goes up to 2017 but add a few more Mercs and a RB to the end of the list and you'll get the idea
I think I'm well and truly done with this for now but the idea is there if anyone wants to do all those others I suppose.
I had three criteria in mind when creating the pack.
- One car per driver
- No Number 1's on cars
- Have as much variety in manufacturers and colour as possible (it would have been considerably easier if everyone who won a championship in a Ferrari just got one of those... hehe. That Schumacher Benetton took some doing).
Consequently, drivers typically got their first championship winning car, especially if they won several in a row (the WC has typically worn #1 since 1973). I may be wrong but I think the only exception is Jackie Stewart, who got the Tyrrell 006 instead of the Matra. The Matra is cool, and I was a bit torn but wanted to drive the Tyrrell so that was that.
I wanted to do Brabham in his own car but Denny Hulme won only one championship (in a Brabham) so "Brabham in a Brabham" would have made 2 of those (nearly identical) and no Cooper. So that decision was made for me based on the criteria above.
It'd be amazing if someone put a proper championship together for this.
Thanks again for the feedback. I'm glad you like the pack.
Cheers,
Spud.
