2008 Fantasy F1

Post

Ok 2008 Fantasy F1 game!

I think the 2007 feel over after about the 3 or 4 race (for me that was good cus my car was the honda DOH!)

So What are we going to do for 2008?

Should we all (well those who want to) join a public game and set up a group? (eg the mclaren one some of your guys entered last year

Or we could try again at running an F1 technical one again?

So come on guys? what we going to do?
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

Hi guys, how are you?

I ran the F1FGame (I don't remember exactly the name) until 4th race or so last year.
I created an Excel that would calculate the results as fast as you would enter the race results...
Of course it had its faults. I even created a graphic that made it more interesting.

Until problems came...

The reason I got mad and didn't logged in this site until a few months ago was that I worked a lot in the pre-season to make the Exel work, worked in the rules to make it more fair and nobody (or very few people to be fair) read the proposed rules. Then when this people didn't get the results they expected the attacked me.

Besides that, everybody had already signed for McLaren's official game. So I just gave up.

I always thought it must have been a lot of work, an awful lot of time invested. It's good to see you on the Forum again. Once F1T decides on a league or if someone bravely volunteers to run one, although I imagine running one must take a lot of the pleasure away from race weekends, sort of like a day at work, I hope you'll join up, put together a team and race, you probably gained a lot of insight,crunching numbers from last year and will place very well :D
