@thecrawford yeah, there was a mod that replaced a few of the starting drivers with real female drivers for the first one, which speed up that process a bit.
For this one, I was pleased to see we finally started with a real female driver in the game: If you look closely in the scouting you can find Sophia Forsch having her first F3 season.
So my plan is:
YR 1: Start McLaren getting better
YR2: Sign Forsch as reserve and push her training
YR3/4: Make her Car 2
YR5: Title push (hopefully)
