Accumulating a total of twenty five points on the evening..
Disconnects will be treated as a mechanical DNF and scored accordingly.

CiaY Season 5 PointsThe following is made up BS, fabricated purely for the purposes of the role playing part of Career in a Year. If you are not interested just hang out long enough and all the details will be made into a simple easy to read format somewhere down the road.So the rumors are flying around about Adrian Newey becoming disenchanted with the new rules package in F1. And that he might be looking to new challenges. Now supposedly Red Bull does not want to lose his talents and is offering to help him as he enters into a new phase of his career. The story goes he will stay on in an advisory role to assist Christain Horner as they groom their Head of Aerodynamics, Peter Prodromou, to take over Newey's position.
All of this seems pretty straightforward but here is where the speculation is coming in as Mr. Newey is not giving out too much info at this time. What is he interested in doing now? Well that is according to who you ask, some say he is considering a return to Indy Car where he enjoyed success with Bobby Rahal as his driver back in the late 80's. Well Rahal does own a team now with his son being one of his drivers so their is some potential here. IndyCar has plans for allowing more leeway in aero packages in the future and they would be thrilled to get Newey away from F1 no matter which team he would work with. All of this seems plausible doesn't it?
Is Mr. Newey going to follow in the footsteps of Gordon Murray make the leap from F1 Tech Director to designing ground breaking road cars, like the McLaren F1 street car. While this may seem like a long shot the financial doors that would be opened just by his association with Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz not to mention the technical connections he has made over three plus decades in the sport make this scenario seem less far fetched than you might first think. Will Infiniti finally get a superar to compete with the likes of the Lexus LFA or Mercedes SLS?
Another insider said that the next challenge will be sports car racing. With projects like the Delta Wing recently coming into vogue maybe Newey's creative interest has been stirred, he did after all create some cyber design studies with Polyphony Digital in recent years. And he has won at the prototype level in the IMSA series when he worked with March. Is this his way of having his career come full circle? Who knows?
How is this gonna play out? Will you get a chance to play a part? Just imagine how your career could be effected getting to work with the likes of an Adrian Newey even if just as a test driver.
Upon hearing the rumors you text your agent and tell him now is the time for him to earn his money, find out what is going on and try to get your foot in the door you don't care what level it is at or how he gets it done. Just do it.
