: The best driver in GP2 (concerning his pathetic car) is katayama.
: Katayama is always in the top ten, sometimes in the top 5. I think
: he drove a Tyrrell in 94 - his constantly good performance might
: be a joke from the programmers?
This really is no joke. Katayama's performance was one of the few
highlights of the '94 season. His average grid was 11.25, seven times in
the top 10, with two 5th's and a 6th (Germany, Hungary, and Portugal),
while only qualifying out of the top 20 once (Belgium, 23rd). His average
finish was 5.75, with 12 retirements.
Probably most surprised was Mark Blundell, who found himself hard-pushed
to keep pace. Blundell's average grid was 12.65, only twice in the top
10, with a 10th and 7th (Monaco and Germany), also only qualifying out of
the top 20 once, (Italy, 21st). His average finish was 7.85 with 9
retirements. Blundell scored more points (8 vs 5) although Katayama often
was in the position to score more than he did.
