Career
To be filled
Life Grand Prix
Generic decided to find a driving job elsewhere, and he found Some Racing Team Inc. Co. Pte Ltd. trying to find a Canadian driver to compete in a new series called Life Grand Prix series, consisted of Life L190 chassis. Generic struck the deal and drove car no.1, despite the series' first season. He scored his first podium in the first race at Jerez, finished 3rd. He then got caught by the unreliabilityness of the Life chassis and failed to finish in the next 3 races. He managed to finished 8th at Osterreichring, albeit scoring no points. After another 2 retirements, he scored another 3rd place podium at Anderstop. Disaster strikes when he would retired 5 races consecutively. At Brands Hatch he managed to got classified as 6th finisher and gain a single point. After another retirement, he finished 7th at Watkins Glen, albeit no points. Another retirement struck at Caesars Palace race. On the final race of the season, Generic classified 6th, and finished 18th on the championship with 10 points.
For 1992, Some Racing Team Inc. Co. Pte Ltd. decided to withdrew from LGPS, leaving Generic with no drive. Then a team called Caraxl called him to drive for them. Deal was made and Generic made a return at round 6 at Ostrreichring, where he stalled the car off the grid. Brno would just a little better where his gearbox stuck in 2nd gear while running in 6th place. The next race at Kemora proved to be a brainfade, as Generic accidentaly tested some Finnish vodka prior to the race, where he somehow tried to drive through a wall after swerving Archibald March's car. Generic would finish a strong 4th at AVUS. SuperPrix de la Suisse proved to be one of his best chance of win faded in the most dramatic finish racing world ever had, after Jan van der Maeyede's suspension failed in last lap, Generic would inherited the lead, 2 and a half minutes behind prior to VDM's retirement. But Generic's gearbox stucked in 3rd entering Tertre Rouge and he was beaten by Archibald March by 6 seconds at the line. --To be continued--
