Sometimes you need a bit of luck in order for an aggressive strategy to pay off. Sounds like that is what the SA guy did :)

make sure your agression isnt topped out, that makes the driver take risks that can cause crashes....... :?

also, make sure that your setup is suited to the track.....the "engineers note" could help you there

Sorry, hit submit button by accident...

I was gonna say, all we need for a Fantasy F1 team are a list of drivers constructors, tyres, and engines. Then a method of scoring pionts. I have a team on ProFantasy F1. They have quite good scoring systems.

We then apply some sort of team budget & value for entities & drivers.

We then add these into a Sticky post and we're ready to go...

...almost, somebody needs to run it, apply scoring etc. I'd be happy to do it if we had enough interest!

I'd update the scoring every tuesday at the lastest (thats a day earlier than on ProFantasy F1 :lol: )

Hows that sound to people?

I'd be happy to sort it out for everyone...just a little way for me to contribute and say thanx 2 Tomba & Principessa for all their hard work.

So what you think guys?

Ya I just entered the game, and I am the team leader of Renault, I got the fastest practice time so far but I did not realize you can change the setting for driving style, if I change the driving style will that effect my times?

Is there different games going on?
MY Id number is 137 if that lists the room number?
Anybody looking for a teammate, because I will join your team and such.?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

There must be several on at once.

My advice for success is to be nice to your teammate at some point they will be faster than you and you will want their setup. :D
