anyone fancy a go at fantasy f1?

linky

I do it on another forum and it's quite good fun - no prizes, just kudos for the winners.

we could set up a LCB league and all that

Cheers

Mark

Yeah, why not... Locoleague F1 would be a giggle!

Chris

yeah sounds good to me!

Locoleague sounds good too

I'd be up for that....

Me too!

Likewise!

and me.

and me

Mee too!

ok

rules here

scoring here

register here

I suggest that everyone adds _LCB to their username so we know who we all are.

and only one entry per person in the LCB league

I haven't worked out how to start a league yet - I suspect I need to create a team first. I'll look into this and get back to you.

Any more suggestions for a name for the league?

Cheers

Mark

Wow, build an F1 team for £250 and race it!

£60 million seems a very tight budget!

Im in, just signing up now!

just signed up!

ive created a locostbuilders League, password = fozzie

Excellent, all in..... I've gone for

ace Driver 1: Mark Webber

Test Driver 1: Brendon Hartley
Test Driver 2: Gary Paffett

First Pit Stop: Pedro de la Rosa

I reckon drivers will be worth more than the machinery....

Chris

I did one of these once and went for the absolute cheapest drivers/chassis/engine I could. It meant that (virtually) at every race I had enough in the bank to buy an Olympic sized swimming pool full of beer and still have >£100k for hookers left over.

By a bizarre twist of fate and a washed out first race I ended up at the top of the table on the opening round

League: LocostBuilders

OK I'm in.... Team .... Foxxies Fellas

(Just for Steve )

Fozzie

I must be a thick one because I can't figure out how to do it or how it works. I read the overview... I'll live vicariously, as I've been doing for the past 3 years.

I'm in but need more cash for a decent IMHO team

Congrats to Mr Cerbera - well played

I'll do better as the season goes on, you can't win a season in the first race

Oh no,flyingfishracing,position 42 out of 44 ,I think I will have to make a couple of changes,sack a driver or two,well,at least I am not in last place

was rooting for vettel but had alonso as my driver... so when alonso passed vettel it was a love and hate moment

Oh yeah, 23rd and i dont have massa or alonso

Looks like I picked the wrong drivers/chassis/engine. I blame my drivers who came 18th, 19th and 22nd. The site won't let me change the team at the moment due to maitanence but I think I'll invest some of my remaining £22m in a new driver and use up one of my changes early on.

Target for next time 41st.

I think we should call it a day now.
Nothing to do with me being on top Just I know it wont last

The results are IN.....
http://www.fantasy-f1.net/game/viewLeague.do?leagueId=11

Well done cerbera....

I've jumped up 10 places......(Foxxies Fellas)...

Loads of races (and highs and lows) to go yet though ......

Fozzie

I sat down tonight to watch another bore fest but thoroughly enjoyed a good race Long may they continue.

Great action today, my original team is still at the bottom but at least my new team isn't (Though theres only two below and one of them is mine, but It has only raced once and not twice).

Great to see Button back where he belongs.

how many of us put Chandhok as first retirement only to see him complete the whole race xD!

jumped up 14 slots!

sorry, must of missed it, I'll remove one later.

Iv dropped one place

Im off to make changes

Results are in and league has been updated.....

Fozzie

Up to 15th. Im doing well

I've not logged in for a while, and have made no changes since first picks......

but i'm winning!!!!!

MWAHHHAHAHAHAHA

Im up to 7th

The fact that I'm not leading it by a country mile, clearly indicates to me that there is something wrong with the scoring mechanism.


I intend to email them about it.

Mr Wheezy looks like he's got it all sewn up

Well played Wheezy, looks like i left my charge to late, i suppose those early months were i never visited the site didn't help

Next year

Congratulations Dave

Cheers everyone. I can now put another trophy on my mantlepiece. After finishing 3rd in the Silverline Power Tool Drag racing this year and winning the fantasy F1 my year is now complete

Another very well done from me Wheezy ...

Fozzie

I've only just watched that episode of the gadget show and realised it was you dave.

I even got a speaking part.

We put our driver down the drag strip after the event and we would have won by 0.03 seconds. I already have plans to improve the design for next years event.

I will be available for autographs and public appearances.

Dave

Are we going again for fantasy F1 this year ?

[Edited on 1/2/11 by bob]

Yep me too.......I tried hard to get the 'wooden spoon' last season ..... alas it didn't work....

Fozzie

3rd well a major improvement on last year so i'm happy with that, it was pretty close this year though.

Well done to all who took part, and a big thankyou to the organisers.

I managed to hold on to 1st place but it was getting close at the end see if I can do the same next year

grrr - grumble mumble .....

(i didn't win, but quite enjoyed it)

Obviously we are going again this year ?
