Join our F1 Fantasy League 2009

[Salty25]

I just hope the Beeb bring "The Chain" back as the intro music. Its not been the same with that Jamiroquai crap ITV foisted on us.

"The Chain" is coming back, that has been confirmed. The new BBC F1 site is now up and running - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/default.stm.

All details can be found on the editor's blog - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sportedit...ob_in_the.html.

For the record, I'll be using the laptop for the onboard feed with the World Feed on the TV

Whose missing from 2008:

kleefarr – Honda-Williams
pazinho – Outcast Racing
RedDevil_UK – Speedy Devils
the_happy_traveller – Caravan Racing
wod – Team Wod

C'mon lads - join in the fun!

More the merrier, as always If anyone is reading this that has never played before, and is worried about whether this is time consuming or difficult, don't hesistate to join - it only takes about 10mins in the week before the race to make your changes (if any), and there have been some of us it for years who are still hopeless... me included! Needless to say, a little knowledge is a dangerous weapon, but luck is a growth area

Yahoo - the iconic theme music is back.

With the planned launch of the Yank team next year Id like to see them them run the gorgeous Danica Patrick as one of their driver

[Analoguesat]

Just been looking at the BBC commentator line up. Looks pretty good, although Im a bit disappointed to see Louise Goodman hasnt transferred over. She was pretty good on ITV's coverage.

Oh Danica:



Needless to say, she drives the guys crazy for more than her driving! (It's the way I them 'em!)

To be fair, she is a very good driver, although she need to win more in Indy before making the switch. I would think that the USGP* will put Danica on their hot list of potential drivers.

* The team is called USGP now because only Bernie is allowed to use the 'F1' name, and you have to acquire a licence to do so!

[Analoguesat]

Mm I'll support any team shes driving in. (Except Ferrari)

[pazinho]

I'm in with Zorbas skidmarks. Don't know if I will do well,couldn't buy much with only 80 mil.

Yes, the budget is very tight to begin with. The reason for this is that it tests your knowledge (or luck) of the lesser teams, and the better you do the more money you make. Also, after every race everyone is given 2mil more to spend.

[Zorba]

I didn't know that,cool. I better read the rules now.

[Salty25]

Loving the team name, Zorba Just hope they don't come into close contact with the Tossers... results could be messy!

[RedDevil_UK]

OK im in
same as before SPEEDY DEVILS

[Analoguesat]

Excellent - we currently have 18 competitors signed up.

Welcome to all the latest additions to the game

[Salty25]

Good times. And if I recall correctly, if two more join up than this season's champion will earn themselves a PFF1 Champions League place!

[misterminibus]

That will be me then Salty

[Topper]

Keep trying to get in to tweak my team before I forget but when I try and login I just get error, I though it was my bookmarks needing refreshing but having done that I still cannot get in

Try going on to the site now. I think it's been experiencing difficulties in recent week, sometimes I got nothing as well. Rest assured that it does work the majority of the time

[Salty25]

I don't know how many of you have seen this, but this video from Red Bull pretty much explains all the technical changes for 2009:

Salty in view of the current controversy what is the ruling or advice for Team Leaders when three teams will be racing under appeal as is suggested will be happening?

As you wish

Pure Fantasy F1 takes it results from how the raced finished on the track, ignoring any post-race penalties. So, if for example Jenson Button finished 6th in the race, but was docked 2 place by the race stewards after the race, Pure Fantasy F1 would still regard Button has having finished in 6th (and not 8th, as considered by the FIA).

Therefore, the advice I'd give to managers is to make your selections based on your judgement of how things will go on-track, and to ignore off-track events.

hey guyz,
I have chosen Jenson this year & he may actually win!!!
Roll on Ross Brawn
