Fantasy F1 2007

[GilesGuthrie]

It's a bit late this year, but it's still more than ten days before the start of the season, so you've plenty of time to get your team in.

Usual form and rules apply: Free to enter, choose three drivers, one chassis, one engine. No tyres this year, for obvious reasons. You're advised to read the scoring procedure before entering your team...

Enter here before 11.59GMT on Thursday 15th March.

 

[Lee]

Davidson Motorsports is in!!

 

[Danny]

Scuderia Yorkshire in.

Question- how does it work with regards to selecting drivers that won't be in the Formula One season?

 

[<_Spike_>]

Wow the budget is strict...

But...once I finally selected drivers and such without diving into negative $

McSpiker is in =D

 

[CardcaptorYoshi]

Agreed, tight budget this time around...but I'm in and ready to suck! Rock! Smash into something! (Sato as first driver? Fitting of KamiKawa Motorsports )

 

[fatman_5050]

The budget is tight, but no worse than other fantasy F1 leagues. This is $20m less than another one I am in, but the ratio of total money to the salaries seems about the same.
FatBull Racing is in.

 

[Omnis]

OMGF1 is online!

I don't know how it's possible to afford a winner, but I entered anyway. 60mil is too little.

 

[Philly]

Project BMW.Williams is underway.

Gee, it is really hard to afford a good team. I guess the low price range will allow for more strategy.

 

[nosturbo]

Mercedes Red-Bull is up and running!

I have an IRL & GP2 racer in seats 1 & 2 respectively, while an F1 driver as my third man.

 

[F1GTR]

Entered my team

 

[Danny]

Any way to view current teams?

 

[daan]

I missed last year, but I've just submitted my team for this year.

EDIt:

Any way to view current teams?

I don't think you can until the season starts.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Im in again

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Any way to view current teams?

No. It wouldn't really be fair on the early entrants if you could see their selections before making yours, would it? You'll be able to view the teams when the registration closes.

Wow the budget is strict...

But...once I finally selected drivers and such without diving into negative $

McSpiker is in =D

Aye, the budget is strict!

Actually though, the budget is the same as last year once you'd picked the obvious choice of Michelin tyres.

Scuderia Yorkshire in.

Question- how does it work with regards to selecting drivers that won't be in the Formula One season?

Drivers only score when they're racing in F1. So if you choose a driver who's not racing in F1, he's not going to score you any points.

 

[m7ammed]

Mclearn BMW is in , but would the chasis/engine get you any point?

I don't understand. The chassis & engines will get you points based on their performance. There are no non-running chassis or engines.

 

[Danny]

Oh why did I pick Mike Jordan and Marc Gene?

 

[Blake]

Oops.

 

[DQuaN]

My team is in.

However, when looking in the driver lists, there are two Nelson Piquet's. One is (GP2 Racer) and one is (F1 Tester). They are the same guy right? Why do they have a different price?

 

[Lee]

Oops.

My thoughts exactley.

 

[Sting]

bollocks! lol That means 1 driver of mine will score points. Oh well, i went tradition with my team..... Williams-Renault Racing. Shame I couldnt pick Damon Hill. lol

 

[Pupik]

I've entered my 6th season in FF1; Kathy's entered her second, and Bailey's in her first FF1 team (okay, she wanted a second team).

 

[Small_Fryz]

can we see the results from last year? i forgot where i came.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

can we see the results from last year? i forgot where i came.

Yep. Go to http://giles-guthrie.com/ff1/2006. The data is all still there in the database. (I think)

My team is in.

Yep, they're the same guy. The GP2 racer is gone. There were a couple of instances of that.

bollocks! lol That means 1 driver of mine will score points. Oh well, i went tradition with my team..... Williams-Renault Racing. Shame I couldnt pick Damon Hill. lol

Damon Hill is available for selection.

 

[Sting]

I dont see him scoring points anytime soon. lol

Giles, can you delete teams? Cause I'd like to re-do mine. lol

 

[Lee]

Can't you do some subsitutions Jef?

 

[Sting]

Can't you do some subsitutions Jef?

no. lol

[Lee]

That's... Rather impressive hahaha!

 

[livemusic]

[GilesGuthrie]

I'm in. Live Music Racing!

Edit: Gotta fix the email response, Giles:

I'll make a mental note to do that. It's just a matter of putting in a "$year" variable, and then I'll never have to think about it again.

EDIT: Done

I dont see him scoring points anytime soon. lol

Giles, can you delete teams? Cause I'd like to re-do mine. lol

Done.
