LEGENDS of GPL - 20th Anniversary Edition
Drivers
As usual, the mod includes 19 AI drivers. The goal was to have the Drivers Champion as the
primary driver for each team, then add a secondary driver that either drove for the same team or,
if not possible, drove the same car for a competing team.
Here are the primary drivers who won the Drivers Championship (except for Hill):
1.
1955 F1 Mod: Juan Manuel Fangio
2.
1965 F1 Mod: Jim Clark
3.
1966 F1 Mod: Jack Brabham

champion. No one else drove a BT19 or BT20 in 1966. Anderson drove a BT11/Coventry
Climax 2.8L in 1966 as a privateer. He is also a 1967 Brabham BT24 driver in the 1998
GPL.

champion. Ligier drove a 1966 BT20 with its lower horsepower type 620 engine in 1967 as
a privateer and was the best remaining driver for the BT24. He is also a 1967 Brabham
BT24 driver in the 1998 GPL.

1967 F2 Mod: Johnny Servoz-Gavin. Rindt had more points than Ickx, but was an "A" rated
driver, didn't qualify for the F2 championship, and drove a Brabham instead of a Matra.
Beltoise and Servoz-Gavin drove Matra MS5/7s in 1967 for Team Matra, but Beltoise is
better as the secondary driver in 1969.

the Manufacturers Championship and Amon was their secondary driver.

McLaren, but he was already taken for the 1966 CanAm mod. There were several privateer
drivers that drove older McLaren M8 series cars in 1971 and Adamowicz was the best of the
lot.
