    The Next Lewis Hamilton (F1 CE)

    Seeing as no one did a dynasty mode thread for F1CE for PS3, I figured I would do one. I'm currently in season 2, racing for Midland F1, and here's a recap so far:

    Name: Chris Hudgison
    Nationality: American
    Helmet: #1
    I chose the first african-american as my character.

    Race Options:
    Medium difficulty
    20% race distance
    Fuel, Damage, Failures on

    Season 1
    Team: Super Aguri
    Role: Second Driver to start. I was promoted after finishing 13th at San Marino.
    Best Finish: 13th
    Races Finished: 12 out of 18. The 6 races I DNFed in, I wrecked the car in the first corner of Lap 1 trying to be aggressive. The only requirements were to finish the race and beat my teammate, Yuji Ide.

    After Season 1, I got deals to resign for Super Best Friends, a trial with Red Bull Racing, and a trial with McLaren Mercedes. I decided to try the trials. The trial at RBR required a 1:24 lap time in the rain at Silverstone. Let's just say that getting quick lap times in the rain is quite difficult. After failing, I got a trial with McLaren at Silverstone. Same lap time, but in perfect weather. I passed the McLaren test and signed as a test driver.

    Season 2 (in progress)
    Current Team: Midland F1 (second driver)
    Old Team: McLaren (test driver)
    Best Finish so far: 20th
    Test Successes: 3

    Testing is very difficult in the game. You go to all of the tracks in the game to test aerodynamics, tires, fuel, etc. Along with that you have team ability tests. All you have to do to pass is to beat your second driver's lap time. If I did well enough, I could take Montoya's ride. The only tests I passed were the team ability tests. The other tests I failed by half a second in some cases. I left McLaren to race for Midland, starting in Turkey. I have 5 or 6 races left to prove myself. Stay tuned...

    I'll check in on this there seems to be some interesting dynamics as far as being a tester and a teams second driver.

      Just finished season 2 today before March Madness started.

      Season 2
      Current Team: Midland F1 (second driver)
      Old Team: McLaren (test driver)
      Best Finish: 8th
      Points Standing: 14th
      Test Successes: 3

      China -Got my first points finish at the Chinese GP. Battle of attrition. I qualified 15th and chose a pit late strategy, guessing that cars would retire due to engine failure. I was right. Going into the last lap, I was running ninth, tracking down Nick Heidfeld when the leader's (M. Schumacher) engine blew. Coasted to 8th and 1 point.

      Italy - Qualified 20th. Moved up to 10th when I spun at the Parabolica turn in lap 3, knocking off the back wing. Game over. Finished last.

      Japan - Qualified 18th. I selected a late pit strategy like in China. Backfired in the wrong way. On lap 6, I'm running 10th on the far left side of the track, when Nico Rosberg, exiting from pit lane (on the right side) runs into me. Wing knocked off as well as two of my tires. Collided at about 150mph. Finished last.

      Brazil - Qualified 19th. Selected a late pit strategy. Moved up to 10th during the first few laps. Spun out on lap 5, but I didn't hit anything. Had a fast pit stop, and finished 15th.

      Felipe Massa won the Driver's Championship by 1 point over Alonso. Renault won the constructors. No offers came in the offseason, so I'm staying with Midland F1 for season 3. Stay tuned...
