Turkish Grand Prix, Istanbul, Turkey (Week 10: 1964) Weather: Sunny After an insane race that saw just 3 cars finish, FOAC released very tight safety guidelines for next year. No new parts will be allowed for next year, and there will be mandatory pre-race inspections. "The fans are here to watch cars race, not tow trucks" said the chairman. Lap 2: Daan barely manages a lap for the final race of the season. The Vienna driver completed just 2 of 10, but won both. Lap 4: M. Hancock stalls out and must retire. Lap 6: Garcia is still getting used to driving at such speeds and his engine blowing sure doesn't help. Lap 12: Stokely undercuts a turn and the curb wrecks his underbelly. The 3rd-place driver won't win back-to-back titles. Lap 13: Neither will B. Hancock! Lap 16: Incident in Istanbul! A crash takes out D. Halley in his last Grand Prix. The crowd shows its gratitude to the GM pioneer and 2-time race winner in his final race. Keikel must also retire, and it seems either Morell or Fehrvar will win the Driver's championship! Lap 18: Poor Bruno Da Silva. He falls just short of managing to get classified. Lap 19: Disaster! Morell overheats again! He'll be classified but won't score. If Fehrvar gets a point the tie will be broken!

*Did not finish but completed 90% of the race. Fehrvar clinches the title! Who would have thought that when he started as a privateer, only finishing 3/6 races, that we'd get to where we are now? Good for him! After an impressive showing from Savic in this race, Isuzu sign him full-time to partner Kujiro, and vow to work on reliability for a big constructor push next year. Communist Hungary-backed MNV win an unlikely Constructor's championship, and Fehrvar becomes the first ever double champ! Driver's Championship:

Sorry for the lack of updates. School is kicking my ass and obviously that's my #1 priority. I will update as much as I can without risking my future. Thanks for the support, and any suggestions are more than welcomed. I'll leave you with a sneak peek at a new track next season... time to leave Europe!

A fairly stable off-season. Savic replaces Makoto, who Isuzu puts as a backup that just needs more seasoning. Gustafson finally gets a contract, and it's a good one. He replaces the retiring Dan Halley, who's now boss at GM. GM mean buisness!All parts are frozen this year from last, and teams have spent all off-season making the cars as reliable as possible.

Portuguese Grand Prix, Faro, Portugal (Week 1: 1965) Weather: Sunny Welcome back to a new, safer, season of Formula 1! Last year's Hungarian domination leads to a lot of hungry teams, and we start as we have the last 2 years, in beautiful Faro, Portugal. Peter Keikel and Seki Kujiro each will try to win this race for the second time. The fans are turning up in droves as Formula 1 is more popular than ever. Rumor has it a film will be made covering the sport this year. Let's race! Lap 1: B. Hancock has the dubious honor of failing to set a qualifying lap and is not permitted to enter the race. Motorsport Vienna crew is furious. Lap 2: M. Hancock joins his brother back in the pit lane. Tough start for Hancocks. Lap 6: Kasektir swerves into the path of defending champ Fehrvar and both are out of the race. Lap 7: Savic, unused to the Isuzu, oversteers and wrecks. Lap 14: Keikel catches fire and retires. Lap 16: Newcomer Hammer blows something in his engine and retires after a brave race. Lap 19: Donst understeers and clips Garcia, ending their chances of crossing the line.

Spanish Grand Prix, Madrid, Spain (Week 2: 1965) Weather: Rain It's pouring in Madrid, let's race! Lap 2: O. Kasektir suffers engine issues, and is out. Lap 5: Last race's winner Morell spins on the wet road and cannot continue. Lap 9: Stokely slides wide and clips Kujiro, both are done. Lap 10: Fehrvar and B. Hancock hit debris from last lap and are forced out. Things were going so well too...

*Did not finish but completed 90% of the race. Daan snags a win in round 2, and two privateers score points. 12 cars finishing is a new record, and on a wet track to boot! These safety and reliability upgrades are really making a difference. Driver's Championship:
