Remember that time Matt Kenseth won the title with only one win and Nascar changed the rules. :negative:

Somehow, the four teams not to change drivers in 1994 were Tyrrell, Minardi, Footwork, and Pacific.

There were a lot of terrible crashes, dumb punitive suspensions. Which, considering Pacific only qualified twice that year, that rules them out. And the line ups for the other three aren't actually so bad considering they didn't do one of the previous.

Williams - Driver died (obviously)
Bennetton - Driver burned alive, dumb suspensions.
McLaren - Punitive suspension
Lotus - Zanardi was injured going into the year, and then the team went broke.
Jordan - Punitive suspension, (lol Irvine lol)
Ferrari - Driver injured in crash
Simtek - Driver died, another got in a horrible crash afaik with his legs hanging out the front of the car.
Sauber - Driver in horrible crash, in a Coma.

Larousse, Ligier and Lotus also just traded drivers that year :wtc: which was pretty funny.

1994 in general was a pretty depressing season. I have the Autocourse for that year and still read it from time to time. My favorite story is when Senna died they thought Hill was poo poo at testing cars (Not that Senna was brilliant at it, as it was traditionally Prost's domain at McLaren but they still valued his opinion highly) and Damon would test the car and say "it sucks, it understeers" (due to them removing the active suspension the car was unbalanced) and they were like "lol shut up Damon". So then they got Mansell in and first thing he says is "car sucks, it understeers" and Damon went :smugbert: and then took the fight to Schumi in the next race.

Also, Cleveland was the first CART race after Mansell was in Formula One and that perked HIM up and he had an unexpectedly good race.

Tl;dr both Mansell and Hill were headcases.

actually tl;dr 94 sucked really bad due to all the deaths and bad injuries.

triple edit! Also the other thing to do in '94 is watch Schumi on the starts. It's amazing how good his clutch control is, he's the only one who :airquote: doesn't seem :airquote: to get wheelspin off the starts.

I actually watched some, and then was so intregued I downloaded some NHRA and IHRA games and they were worse than hitler teribad. I was hoping it would be like Sprint Cars / Dirt Track Racing in general where it is a niche audience but with really great games. (RIP Ratbag :smith:)

How was 2003 to watch as a year? I seem to recall the 1.5 mile tracks really raced well with that package.
