There should be a league requirement that Kobayashi be in every team (sorry Captain).

Taku 2: Electric Boogaloo ready to go. The sheer might of Lopez, di Grassi, de la Rosa, Petrov, Senna, and leading the charge to victory Kobayashi will take on all comers.

You just have to start your own team here -> http://www.fantasyracers.com/

However I don't think we have a league yet, so what you can do at the moment is just start a team and then wait for the league to be started.

Does any of the more experienced lads or lasses know how to produce that league business?

I thought we were leaving it to our glorious leaders Jenoch.

However, I've set one up now. League number 40300.

Thanks. I was waiting for the leaders too :P
I hope we get a lot of ppl there. Until the first race, the Top Leagues orders the leagues by number of teams.

It would be cool if you would update the first post with a big red sign showing our group number, people will notice it better than a middle of the topic post. :)

I've joined the league with the wonderful number, with a team under the name of Team Lynx, provisionally(!) composed of the "Back to the 2000s" pair of Michael Schumacher and, you guessed it, Rubens BARRICHELLO.
I might change drivers before the freeze (I chose option 2) though, depending on whether or not certain drivers get seats by that time...

Edited to add: Some of you people have weird names...

You know, I'm getting used to the idea that, aside fom bank accounts and credit cards numers the rest is irrelevant. Which is the thing is THEY know if I like F1, smartphones, S&M, adventure tourism, wikipedia, WWII, Spanish and Latin American literacy, RTS strategy games... I'm not of interest to them after all. I'm one among millions.

Meh. My real name is tied to my Twitter (for career purposes) and I use the same username, so it's out there as it is.

Yeah, I don't give a toss. I use my real name here and everywhere; I have my name in my blog, and both the Uni and the Institute that pays for my PhD scholarship have online profiles of me.

The trick, I reckon, is not to fret with Facebook, Buzz or Twitter privacy settings; it's to keep the private bits of your life off the Internet.

Hm. Since the "certain drivers" I was talking about don't seem to get in F1 this year anymore, I guess I will keep my lineup of Schumi and Barri...

So, what happens now? I've signed up, chosen my drivers, and the scores only start coming in after Bahrain. Do we reveal our choices here, publicly?

Ah, fair enough.

Which strategies did you guys choose? I went for strategy 2 (no driver changes, 5.0m more).

Because if I run under a Portuguese flag I'll run out of money before the season starts - remember Alvaro Parente, not Virgin's reserve driver? :?

Actually, I hadn't noticed. :oops:

I've gone for Strategy 1. Hoping that I can earn a bit of money by going for a few drivers who I expect to do well in the early races. Also it gives me the option to change it up as, like Shinji, I don't trust my own decision making before the season starts.
