Fantasy F1... Thanks to KevinD

ok, i made a group:

group ID: 2273
password: evoftw

to create your own team go to here

once signed in, go to create/join group: and enter the name and password above.


the way it works is, you pick 3 drivers for your "team", then you pick the real team you want as your "team".

points are scored based off of qualifying, and how they do in the race. you can only pick 1 "A" driver, and 2 "B" drivers, and you don't want to keep the same driver the entire year as your drivers can only start 4 races in a season (any more then that and they don't get any points for your team), so you will need to cycle through some of the different drivers through the year. the rules are here

Melbourne, First race discussion below
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=328363

Was sad to watch Kimi, and Bouderias drop out... But the race did bring what looks to be an entertaining race season preview.

A quote from Martin Whitmarsh regarding Heikki
"He pulled off some interesting moves against Kimi Raikkonen and did a fantastic job to get past Fernando Alonso with a couple of laps to go, although there was then a slight blemish when he activated the pit lane speed limiter while removing a tear-off visor on the pit straight, so he lost the position again"

What a weekend! I am so happy the race season has begun, I hope Lewis can get his first championship. Cant wait till Malaysia

r.m.s.

Yeah I should prolly make a note of that on the calendar. They were talking about the maybe next year Melbourne would be and I think Malaysia just due to the attendance being down because of high temps.

I am excited to see Singapore too.

I'm pumped for Singapore. Can't wait!!!

Although I am a big Raikonen backer, I think he properly defended his crown as On-Track Madman.

He could have easily waited in 3rd behind Kovelienen to pit, and safely made his way back up to the podium contenders as the others pitted on their 2-stop strategies. NOOooo... not Kimi! He drives ***** out from start to finish.

The first turn of the race, he launched very well, made a gutsy move and picked up 6 spots. Then later towards the middle, with absolutely NO left front tire left, he tries to pull some insane cut and late brake on Heikki! Entertaining to watch, the small gathering I was watching with was up and yelling at the screen. After all this, dropping into last place, the Ferrari decided to have engine problems again. Thanks to Ruben Barichello's infraction in the pit lane, Kimi ended up with a point anyway, despite not finishing. It's better than no points at all.

Had this plan worked, who knows? Could Kimi could have slowly reeled in Lewis?

What a wild and wacky race, I can't believe more than half of the field didn't even finish! Bring on Malaysia!!!

^ Very well said and I agree he was doing great and although as of the results I was disapointed,... as a fan I was very happy with his performance. I also thought Heikki made more than one move to keep KR back a couple of times but... it just makes me not like him more!

When Kimi passed, We were all standing clapping smiling and then "aghhhhh whaaatttt" is the corus that was heard.

Did anyone else see Alonso pass under that first yellow ( i believe it was a full course yellow and not a local too)?

And here is a cool grid pic of Kubica
