Fantasy F1 2012

Just to let you know that FF1.co.uk has gone live. Hurry, all the best teams are going (I've got 4 of them )

Easiest way to get the best teams are just to try all the 'joker' tracks.

Pick the ideal selections, if it's gone, then just pick a different 'joker' track and try again. Rinse and repeat.

I sussed that this year, but was early enough to get what I wanted. Well within a £60m budget...

Your team line-up is:
Driver 'A': Vettel
Driver 'B': Rosberg
Chassis: Mercedes
Engine: Renault
Joker Race: Australian Grand Prix


Driver 'A': Vettel
Driver 'B': Rosberg
Chassis: Mercedes
Engine: Mercedes
Joker Race: US Grand Prix

Ok, I got 2 teams in, is Jimo setting up the FCCUK league again this year?

Hopefully, if MrsO lets him out to play......

He isn't doing a league this year.

Someone elses turn...........

Well volunteered Mr Bezzer!

Cheeky

If there's no work involved, but loads of credit to take, I'm your man

Bezzer's Boys -

Driver 'A': Vettel
Driver 'B': Hulkenberg
Chassis: Red Bull
Engine: Mercedes
Joker Race: US Grand Prix

Ah. Have I volunteered? That'll teach me to be a smartarse.

Afraid so

Bezzer you're the second member of FCCUK 2012. I wouldn't have accepted you if I'd known you'd overtake my points score of 1..

So that's it then, I've set up the FCCUK League (FCCUK 2012). Anybody wanting to join, just drop me a PM with your team name.

For the moment we'll stick with JimO's rule of one team per Forum member.

Good man RK

Score of 1? You'll still beat stan's score

RK - I heard a rumour you had picked up these reigns, or shall we call them my sloppy seconds

Thanks for that

Can you add me please, the team name took some thought, but in the end I went with.....

JimO

I wonder if anyone is daft enough to go for Ferrari..........

What sort of fool what do that.....

Jim, it's done Sir, and for the moment you are romping ahead...

Thanks RK

1 JimO
2 Bezzers boys
3 BRoadkings
4 Truffling

Just for future reference ^^ I am winning

I seem to have inadvertantly deleted you Jim

Is David Reid one of us? I have had an entry request, but the team name hasn't come through for some reasson?

Take a screen shot because it won't last

Roadking, I've sent a request for my team, Cinquecento F1. Ferrari all the way (to back of the field probably).

James

James, you're in!

I now know why Jim did this last year. I've never been so popular...ever

Cheers!

Spunker Racing, request sent

Also Team Shadica is my boys team.

No request received yet, but you're in anyway

So is your boy!

We're in, many thanks, this is something of a grudge match in our house. I won in 2010 and the boy finished last. In 2011 the positions were somewhat reversed so this is the decider

If he looks like winning, just ask and I'll kick him out of the league

All's fair in the father/son battle for ultimate supremecy. Or was that just me and the 2 baby RKs?

No worries, he's picked Grosjean so I think I'm pretty safe for the win

Steve Cowan, team owner of StevenC1603 GP

Steve Airth, team owner of Silver Surfer

Are either of these Forum members?

Hmm, i have 2 teams and can't decide on which one to go for in the league!!!

Vettel
Petrov
Red Bull
Renault

or

Raikonnen
Webber
Red Bull
Renault

(You may have guessed I'm backing red bull again!)

Request sent!

ive gone old school with my choices!!

You're in Marco!

T_V have you decided what team to enter yet?

thank you.. this will be the life changing moment i whip all you guys..

This.. is my year...

I heard you practised on Mario......

yep.

he now cleans the floor while sparying a rocker cover..and he does it while making a cuppa!!

who said slave labour was wrong

Derek, have entered my team for entry...

Name is - Mini anyone? (Naturally)

Dan, done!

ive sent a request to join under gsracing

You're in!

Entry requested for Team Mansilla. I spent hours thinking of that.

My team is Redcoupe7

You're both in!

Cheers RK.

You're in the lead, PP! Which will upset JimO

Just heard Truffle's changing his team name to Aardvark Racing

Aaaaaaaaaaaa bugger it.

Trumped

Further change of name. A.

Woop Woop.. 6th!

only down side is having mrs stan on top of me...

but.. a mans got to do...what a mans got to do...

wheres the flour?

*If* she was really on top of you you'd be thinner than a chipati!

one can only dream!

At the moment FCCUK 2012 is equal 13th in the mini-league league on 117 points (average per member). Now if I was to cull some of the weaker teams....

Myself and JimO are in the top 25 in the main league (18th and 22nd respectively). The only way is down for BRoadkings..

Yeah but you played a lucky Joker in OZ and JimO has peaked too early

Currently equal 17th on the league table!

The recovery starts here

you can say that again

Betty Humpter F1 has risen well in 1 race, mainly thanks to the joker.

I picked my team based on what I didn't want to happen this year. I remain hopeful I chose wrong!

Also our league is 19th from 183 entries, not bad considering we have 17 people in FCCUK 2012.

If you count points, equal 17th!

Nice to see Stan and Mrs Stan coming together

FCCUK now 16th in the League!

Nice to see the Mini sitting comfortably in the podium places.

Let's see if the leaders crack under the pressure

It was a very boring race. Good effort from Brundle & Croft at latp 70 to try to inject enthusiasm as the lead 6 followed each other around for the last 8 laps.

I feel for Marco who decided on Schumacher, who's "gained an impressive -59 points so far!

tell me about it mate.

Schumacher is a legend in my eyes but he is killing me this year.

but fingers crossed me makes a podium this year.
be nice to see him up there.

He looked really pleased with his 'pole' on saturday. It's good to see the 'old' boy still has what it takes to come out on top.

Sweating yet Derek?

Nope. I didn't factor cretinous driving by Maldanado into my team selection, but I'm confident we'll bounce back and re-establish a commanding lead. Either that or I'll close the mini-league

Blimey - how did that happen

I'm behind you RK

PS - can anyone see Bezzer in there I got bored reading from the top down, so I guess he must be down the bottom somewhere

Maldanado, the prick

Try to keep up JimO, you may be able to slipstream, but you won't be close enough to deploy DRS

Aye, there are small planets rumoured to have been swallowed up in that area due to the gravity the sheer mass produces! We're thinking of putting up warning signs, but they'll have to be large enough to avoid being dragged in themselves!

Sadly the BRoadkings' dominance has hit a mid season hitch.

FCCUK currently 18th overall.

Here's looking down on you all

I'm hoping my team are hitting the straps at the right time, like Ferrari!

Savour it Dan, it won't last long

Sadly while checking your team and noting you haven't played your joker, I inadvertantly expelled it from the league

OMG Mrs Stan is on top of me......no wonder I couldn't breathe!

Relegation beckons.......

I'm saving my jo-ker for a kers-esque boost for India

And Truffle is on top of Mrs Stan. A Stan and Truffle sandwich.

My coffee tastes a bit off as I mentioned that

I feel sick. Please excuse me a moment.....

WTF?

"Due to the site being hacked and all data being destroyed, including all Database backups, I am afraid the Racing League are closed down. I have neither the time or the intrest to fix this after one mindless moron destroys all the effort that has been put into this site. This is done for fun and off my own back.

I am sorry if this upsets anyone, but no one is more upset than I am at the moment.

If I find away of fixing this quickly then the site will be back. Thank you for your support over the years and if anyone does know who did this, please pass their info on"

Poor bloke. It beggars belief

Just when I was about to win too, having played my joker yesterday and my drivers on the podium! Arrrgghh!


Nah, only kidding!

You're right though, it does stink; can I suggest that if you used a name linked to other accounts and the same password you maybe think about changing passwords......

Consolidating my no.1 spot

It won't last. My consolidated no. 1 spot didn't

It won't let me re-join

I'm tempted to sign back out again! In the interests of the league of leagues, obviously.

I'm back

Sent my response to enter the forum
Team!

request sent....Spunker Racing

Guys, I'll add you tomorrow, my team password is at work! Unless of course your teams are doing better than mine

In a horrible twist, my 'B' team is scoring better than my 'A' team.

Dan, I did warn you

Haha, i gained 4 points in that race

Red Bulls were obviously heavily used in my team selections

Wow I lost 18 points this weekend, thanks to Vettels sudden retirement. Still great result for Lewis.

RK - Dont hate

not my fault my drivers are doing crap

im only 62 points behind truffle..

No hate mate

How on earth did I score enough points to regain 1st place?

Only if I'm back in first place :sulk:

I asked in case you are, so you wouldn't think I was sulking and refusing to put them up

RK I've finally managed to re-register with the Fantasy F1 website!

I've sent a request to join FCCUK 2012.

Once Bezzers boys are added, just see how far we drop in the league of leagues

If Grosjean stops taking out my drivers (Webber last out) I'll have a chance!!

First lap nutcase

Bezzer, you're in, I don't the league updates until next race

My drivers are Raikkonen and Hamilton, so between Grosknob and Maldotit..

Cheers RK

Forgot to think!

Website hasn't been updated yet.

I'm hoping to have snared enough points to get no.1 position back

Woohoo - top spot is again mine. Shame my joker wasn't this round rather than next up in India!

I've not looked at this since the start really. So need to enter my team back into the mini league if that is ok. I'm afraid you will loose your top spot Hovedan as I am 1st overall I've just seen

Requested entry as Green machine

Even if you are indeed Green Machine, you're only 19 points clear. 3 to go, game on

Yup, still a lot to race for!

I take that back. We have the exact same team, we just played our jokers on different races, so we will get the same points for the last 3 races no matter what.

I thought we might, but when you were in the original league, our points differences varied with each race, so I'd discounted that possibility?

Didn't think the teams could be changed after the season started?

Ah, I know exactly why then. I set up 2 teams at the start of the season, and couldn't decide which one to enter into the FCCUK league. Clearly it was the other team I added to the league (both called Green Machine). So in reality you would be winning the FCCUK league if it wasn't for the whole crashing of the website as it wouldn't be this team in the league. Happy to swap to the other team for the FCCUK league. Keeping my fingers crossed though this team can win the overall title.

Makes sense now - hedging your bets then?!

I think our team will score consistently over the remaining three races. Maybe I could get second overall?

What are the prizes

Sadly no prizes at all. Wish there was. The shock I got when I logged on and saw I was first was fun this morning. Not logged on to it since maybe the 3rd weekend.

Last year I was in the lead of the main league (and of course the fccuk league) for a large chunk of the season. Only lost out with late jokers being played. I ended up in 27th place

Get a screenshot TV

Without doing the maths id say that the addition of TVs team will bump us up to 2nd overall, now if we could just cull Marco........!

Ha remove me if it helps!!

i will re add my self at the last min any way

2nd overall in League of leagues.

Haha all the teams in the top 20 of the overall league have identical teams! Only the timing of using the joker separates them.

On that note - stewards enquiry - this Green team is not the same Green team as was originally entered into this comp

This is 100% true. Officially the team in the league at the moment was my second choice team, and as such wasn't the one I entered orginally. Happy for it to be kicked out as there are no prizes to be won

Just checked, and my team is different to the team in second who had the same points as me.

Mine is same as yous:

Raikkonen
Webber
Red Bull
Renault

second place is

Raikkonen
Webber
Ferrari
Renault

Very unlucky not to have ANY prizes in the actual comp - as it looks like you'll finish no.1. Inspired choices in that team of yours

And I'm not that worried about this one - as long as I beat Derek*

*And Marco, and Truffle - but given their knowledge of motor racing that was a given

I hadn't checked thoroughly enough - all to play for then at the top!!

Ohyour REALLY FUNNY arnt you

Which may be difficult should I inadvertantly expell you from the league

Green Machines out, Green Machine in!

Back to by righful spot. Though hope I do win the overall league with my other team.

It didn't hurt the league standing you changing teams,m shame to change back again! We won't get an update until the next race now.

still second overall

I played my joker yesterday and for once I was hoping Herr finger wagger would pass Hamilton!

I think the only way I can beat Dan is if Weber and Raikkonnen have a disasterous coming together and Senna wins in front of his home crowd! But then Cinq F1 may come storming past, like a replay of the 2007 seasons final race.

Dan is 13th of 2146 players!

Except in reverse, since I have an all-Ferrari team. Oh, and playing my joker in Brazil as well. Forza Fernando! Forza Felipe!

I meant that Kimi won it in a Ferrari that year going into the final race in third in the championship.

Still good luck in the final race, here's to a storming race from Seb!

Oh yeah sorry. I was confused and thought you meant 2008 when Massa would have won, but for Hamilton making another place in the last corner.

DAM!!
I was no last!!!
Result!!!!
Lol

Well played!

Marco, it was a close fight for last place, with 8 points separating you from Mansilla!

Well played James, perfect timing.

Bragging rights over me now til next season you've won!

1st and 4th in the past 2 years for me, not bad!

Great joker MM, congratulations

Thanks guys. I thought I was well out of it for most of the season.

Bummer. Perhaps I should actually think about who I put in my team next year.

Second in the League of Leagues, though. Despite Marco, Truffle and I.
