520racer's Alternate F1 Universe 1995 Season Round 1 recap

Well, I am back after a somewhat long break away from this alternate universe. As promised here�s what happened during the first round of the 1995 F1 season. Be prepared for some surprises to the race calendar as we move forward with this season. But before we do that, I want to make one announcement. In the previous post I mentioned the Pre-Q lists would change every other race for 1995 onwards. That was a typo, in reality, the pre-q lists will instead change every four races like it was in 1994. However, there will still be four cars moving on to Qualifying at every round due to limitations in the Grand Prix 3 game itself.

Round 1 Adelaide

The Formula 1 teams begin their season long journey to the title in Australia. For the final time that F1 will visit the Adelaide street circuit it will switch to being the season opener instead of the season finale like it was in 1994. As for the circuit itself, it�s fairly fast in regards of street circuits.

Pre-Q Results

Forecast: Heavy rain, with some easing off towards the second half but not enough to warrant intermediate tires

Moving on to Qualifying

Jean Alesi, Johnny Herbert, Roberto Moreno, and Luca Badoer
