Fantasy Formula 1 time again

Roll up, roll up! Last year we had some fun with this...this year, I'd like to do it all over again, but we seem to have loads more folks to sign up...so...go to

http://www.ff1.beeb.com/

and enter your name and email addresses and when it's time to pick your team, they'll email you.
When that happens, pick your team according to the rules of the year and post the details here.
I'll attempt to keep track of the scores and make up our own league from the teams entered on this forum.

Last years winners won't be present, unless Ikhnaton/Arseman decides to pop in quickly, so all is to play for this year!

 

OK, I signed up, but I know nothing about Formula 1

 

Don't worry..neither did Ikh and he damn near won and beat me, the supposed Formula 1 officianado, hands down last year!

 

That's encouraging

 

I was crap last year...

 

VROOOM VROOOM.....SCREEEEECH, im in.

 

Awww puir wee scone - you'll no doubt kick my arse in this one

 

I signed in. It's the first 'Fantasy Sport' that I'm playing. What is that all about? What are the rules you speak of?

 

Well...rules like...you must pick two drivers, two cars and a set of tyres and all for £3.25p sort of thing...pretty darn good fun..you sign up, pick your team when they let you, post the details here (team name, drivers, cars etc) and I'll keep track throughout the year and post the continuing results here! Good larf last year

 

OK. I'll just pretend that I understand and hope that my results won't be very miserable.

 

See above, GGB...Ikhnaton didn't have a blery clue and still managed to whoop all our asses..except that Aussie git, epic!

 

ok, I'm up for this.

 

Hey cool! That means we've got, so far:

Go-Get Beer
Alphawolf
Gav Daragon
MomentofTriumph
Sith Minx
Me

So...that's a pretty good start...

 

that sounds cool ill put me name down!

 

OK, I'm in too. But I know nothing about F1. However, some mates of mine are big fans, so I might be able to pick up some tips.

The only sports that I know anything about are football and hockey.

 

poodu, yu gonna post the results from last season?

 

Okeedoke, added Bash and Jumping Jedi Flash to the list of entrees...don't forget to post your team info here when you've picked and sorted...

The list of results of last year's UK JCers league is at the Sith and Saber Pub:

Ok, me too. But, Poods, if this turns out to be some lame Brit attempt at copying American redneck sports, I'm taking it out of your butt!

 

copying American Sports??? Formula One Motor Racing has one of the grandest traditions in all sport...no other sport has so captivated the planet as a whole, produced the most colourful, charismatic and conspiring champions or the seat of your pants action!

Being American, I guess it'd be hard to actually watch a Formula One race...however, to help you out they now run a race at Indianapolis..not a great one, but not too bad! Watch out for it close to September!

 

yes but how many times a year do your drivers die in fiery crashes?

 

That's be beauty of Formula 1...they very rarely do...they're too good!

 

I doubt that.

 

You just watch and see, wormie...*narrowly avoided comment which could have seemed cold-hearted and frankly ba***rdish considering the recent news of Dale Earnhardts death in the Daytona 500*

 

This is what I mean! Too many cars in too small an area going too fast...of course all of which are the purpose of racing, nonetheless accidents are bound to happen and when they do people get hurt because I don't care how many seat belts, pads and roll bars you've got on those cars, you hit a cement wall going 180 mph you're gonna go splat like a bug on a windshield.

Gee, I hope that makes sense....
