I was born and raised on LI - maybe that is my issue!

Seriously, the other league that I am in uses the Castrol GP website and you only have to pick the top ten order, pole, fastest lap, and who has the most passes.

I don't get this fantasy team stuff. I'm going to have to block out a few days of intense study to figure this out.

probably is, what made you defect to Soviet Socialist Republic of Connecticut lol

dont ready to much into it, its for fun but take a look at the rules. I run the thing but Ray must be paying Bernie since he wins most years.

Alright... I think my teams are set... Not sure I totally understand the scoring. Not because it's complicated, but because it requires reading and understanding...

If I understand this right, after 3 races, there is a big reset of value and we get 7 additional changes at no penalty?

After every race, we can make 3 changes with no penalty?

Looks like fun... but I could not find Takuma Sato in any of the driver lists.

The budget is the budget and that's what makes it a challenge. The real key (my opinion) is picking the mix of variables (engine, chassis, drover, etc) within that limited budget that will maximize your points. In other words you can select Lewis Hamilton as your driver, but then the tradeoff is that pretty much every other aspect of you team will suck, because he just broke your budget.

Correct, You can make unlimited changes before the first race. After the first race you are allowed to change three variable/components for you team with no penalty. Change more than three components (after the first race) and you will be penalized.

Let me know if you have questions, I'm happy to give you some tips.

My first piece of advice is create a second team. The second team will allow you to try multiple strategies.

my wife is into creating our 3rd team........the winning team

Ok, I'm in. I've created my two teams, (Pete and RePete) but was looking for a third to be named ThreePete)... sorry for the corny joke, I'm hopped up on Nyquil right now and RL is keeping me entertained.

I'll try to adjust as the races go on, last time I let it go from the initial picking of teams, chassis, drivers, engines etc. and came in mid pack. Hoping to beat Ray who is the King of the F1 fantasy league.

How 'bout Peter out! lol

Don't be discouraged if you have a bad first race. Something usually whacky happens, and if you have all your eggs in one basket (like having Hammy as your driver and he gets a DNF), you won't get many points.

Just hang in there. You can make it up over the next few races.

Oh yeah, can we have someone remove the sticky for the 2013 Season and add this one?

This just in. Sauber resolves driver dispute and announces it will field just one car with three drivers and three steering wheels. Despite the odd look they also feel that it is a sound cost cutting move that should allow them to the get thru the entire season.

I second the motion!!

Can an admin put this as a sticky at the top of the forum page? It's easier to find that way. thanks!

Hope everyone is enjoying the fun!

George S

Yes please!!

Lol... It's making the F1 season tolerable to be able to do this.

Looking at the RL points, it's a mirror image of F1 points with StoogeMoe with a clear lead, with P2 and down really tight after 3 rounds.
