"F1 Fans in HERE!"

I was looknig around the ITV F1 web site, when I saw a fantasy F1 competiton. On closer inspection, I saw that you can do your own mini-leagues.

So I wanted to set one up for us on here.

The only thing is, it's a real MINI league. There can just be me and 5 others.

I don't know many details, because you need to give them your email adress and they email all the info to everyone.

So if anyone is interested, plop your email here.

If there's more than 5 people (which I doubt from the look of this site), I'll just go with the first 5.

Ok, who's interested?

My team is

Mikeall-noitisop eloP

Ok, current teams:


Me - YH's Phulish Team
Venom - Venoms V12 Vengeance Squad
Grandprix - Team Grandpri
SSXPRO - MGS2: Sons on Schumacher
Bonus - Scotland
pb - Team Porpoise
aidsthomas - Monkeys
ch0jdh - Wipeout
ma0pnt - Chaos Fiery


Not sure who the last three are. Perhaps SSXPRO can shed some light?

Anyway, I want lots of people in our league, so have words with all your mates who like F1 etc.

Found it now... sort of. As YH says, it won`t display the results until the first race is done, but the table is set. There is also a way of listing the teams, but its expecting big things as it lists each letter individually (I`m the only M, YH is the only Y etc...).

I found it by going to:

Log in >> Manage My Teams >> Standings

(Standings is located to the right on my list of leagues [though there is only one league {the F1 league} for me]).

It's annoying, there isn't a page that lists us all yet. You'll have to wait until after the first race.

At the moment we have:

SSXPRO - MGS2: Sons of Schumacher
Bonus - Scotland
Venombyte - VenomByte's V12 Vengence squad
Me - YH's Phulish Team
Grandprix - Team Grandprix


And that's it.

Email the link to all your mates who may be interested, let's try and get a big league going.

I can't find it either :D

I`ve signed up:

MGS2: Sons of Schumacher

Now I just have to find the page that lists us all...

Bonus is in Scotland!!!!

I just checked, yeah you are in Venom.

Come one everyone else! Less than 2 weeks to go.

I'm in. (I think)

VenomByte's V12 Vengence Squad

Oh yeah, I'm gonna rule.

Ok, it's all sorted.

Go to www.dreamracers.com and register, which will literally take 2 seconds. All they want is a username, password, your name and email address - that's it.


Once you've registered, you can join the league I've set up, just go to this link:

http://www.dreamracers.com /fantasy/fantasy_plenter.php? passcode=SR-League [SPACES}

You can also enter a team into their own league, which you can win prizes in. No prizes will be available in our little league, by the way.

They do it like this:

You get £75million, pick test driver, and 2 full time drivers, tyres, engine and chassis.

Scoring details:
Qualifying
Pole position driver +5 points
Driver failing to qualify -5 points
Drivers will only be penalised for failing to qualify if they put in a time outside 107% of the time made by the driver in pole position (i.e. failing to qualify as in FIA rules). Should a driver allowed to participate in a race, even though he is outside the 107% time, he will NOT be deducted 5 points.


Race
Drivers
ALL DRIVERS SCORE OR LOSE POINTS, TEST DRIVER INCLUDED

Finishing position:
1st 10 points
2nd 6 points
3rd 4 points
4th 3 points
5th 2 points
6th 1 point

Drivers will be awarded 1 point for two positions they make up on their original grid position, but will NOT be deducted points for losing places.

i.e.
Driver 'a' starts the race in 10th position and finishes in 7th, and is awarded 1 point
Driver 'b' starts in 6th and finishes in 2rd, and is awarded 8 points (6 for 2nd and 2 for made positions)

Any driver failing to finish the first lap will be deducted 5 points, and should no-one retire on lap 0, then the first retirement will be penalised, and any driver retiring on that same lap.

Should a driver, for whatever reason, during the course of the season not attend a race weekend (i.e. - injury, sacked, or has no team), no substitutions will be allowed. However, he will not score or lose points either.

Driver setting the fastest lap scores 1 bonus point

Chassis
Chassis will only score for its highest placed car, and then will be awarded points in the same manner as the finishing positions (1st to 6th place awarded 10 to 1 points as set out for the drivers).

NO RETIREMENT PENALTY FOR CHASSIS.

Engine
Engines score points for their finishing positions (1st to 6th place awarded 10 to 1 points as above) but with a retirement penalty as set out for the drivers. Both engines can score points and can also lose points; every engine retirement loses 1 point.

Tyres
Tyres score 5 points for each win.

NO RETIREMENT PENALTY FOR TYRES.

Tie-Breaker
For your tie-break question you must guess at the total time for pole position for the entire 2002 season.

To get it a bit more interesting, get your mates to join our league as well. The more people there are, the better it'll be.

And that's it! See you in there.
