Formula Lego: Season 01
The First Season of Formula Lego officially began with the first regulated practice sesion on the 38th of Zabez, 244. All 6 races were Held at the John Fel Osborne Circuit, on Cagne Island.
Background
In the year 243, Michael Osborne and Kai Octan began a friendly challenge over who could design a better engine, started after they began comparing the stats on either of their souped-up retro cars. Within a week, the idea had formed in both brains of an EotLP Racing League. They discussed it with each other, and decided that the only reasonable league for them to make would be the one with the highest speed cars-Formula 1.
They began the preparations for such a league instantly. Emperor Sergio Ren and his main advisor, James Krennic (who were both racing fans) contacted Octan and Osborne as soon as they heard of the concept and requested that the EotLP Government be allowed to field racers too. Rules were drafted soon, and each Team chose 10 racers. Osborne and Octan both had finished the Chassis and Power Units of their cars at this point, but the EotLP Team (already referred to as the “National” team by the Media) had not developed their engine and chassis yet, since they were busy designing and building the John Fel Osborne Circuit. As soon as Kai Octan heard of this, he donated 10 Powertrains and Cars to them, which they slightly modified before the races started, in the last weekend of Zabez, 244

Season Progression
All took different policies on their drives, Osborne deciding to judge each racer at the end of the season on their potential, Octan vowing to keep all their drivers for at least 2 seasons, and National choosing to fire their slowest 5 racers every year, and continue re-rolling to try and get the fastest people. In the first season, Octan blew the competition out of the water, gathering 32 Constructor points, compared to National’s 21, and Osborne’s 1. Octan also gathered 1st, 3rd and 4th in the Driver’s Championship, with Salem Hoods, Mikael Cagne, and Thomas Collet, respectively. National’s Vance Lewison, Sira Bowler, and Daniel Drugovitch came 2nd, and tied for 5th, respectively. Osborne fared very poorly, their top three drivers being Josep Vikalkin, coming 7th; Nocah Tsunoda, 8th; and Avayah Osborne, coming 13th.
Michael Osborne disclosed that he was not surprised that his racers had fared poorly, since none of them were trained for high-speed racing, and had only first met their cars a week before the races began. He was recorded saying that he believed they would get better with time, and extra training. Kai Octan- who is a close friend of Osborne’s-said that this was just a bad excuse for bad performance, since his drivers mostly had no High-Speed racing experience either.
