Season summary

The 1996 STW season was dominated by works Audi driver Emanuele Pirro, who won the majority of the races during the year. Briton Steve Soper was the only man to challenge him for the title, but a slow start to his championship hampered his title chase, and Pirro won the title at the penultimate racing weekend at the AVUS track. This was also Laurent Aïello and Peugeot's first season in the German championship, and while the Frenchman won several races he was too inconsistent to finish any higher than third.

gollark: You might need another machine for it, I'm unsure because the UI is kind of awful.
gollark: Also, interestingly enough, while it's not well-known because the UI is kind of awful and it's poorly documented, RFTools builders *can* selectively mine.
gollark: Although Utsuho is committing heresy and Environmental Tech is awful since it goes for "balance" by using increasingly giant amounts of resources and boring progression chains instead of requiring any independent thought whatsoever.
gollark: It takes me AT LEAST two hours of manual work before I have enough automation up for some sort of automatic ore generation.
gollark: I mostly just do 11 because something something lava.
