Fantasy Racers, a serious proposal

11th out of 18. Repsectfully average. Just like Restov Racing in pretty much every other series they enter :lol:

Also, would anyone be interested in a BTCC league?

Yes

Anyway, i've taken on a new challenge: i'll run both Marussia's and both Caterhams at every race! (and i'll probably rotate the fifth driver) Yes, i realise this will take down the average, but this is F1rejects, i can do these kind of things here!

Is there an F1Rejects IndyCar league?

takagi_for_the_win · Post by **takagi_for_the_win** » 24 Mar 2013, 14:26

Dropped to 15th :evil:

Aaaaaargggghhhhhhh!!!

Also, there is now a BTCC league: League Number 89, password: 123456

Third from bottom, despite that being a slightly better round for me than Australia. A line-up of Button, Grosjean, Maldonado, Hulkenberg and Chilton isn't going to net me many points this year I fear! :lol:

3. WooPS Racing (grovey) - 1070 points

17. FullaNeutrals (CarlosFerreira) - 700 points
18. DNPQ Racing (pi314159) - 697 points

Fantasy Racers 2013: Chinese GP Update

The Good
Top scorer: Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - 713 points
IIDOTR: Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - After a very low score in the previous round, jumped right back into contention with a 700+ score thanks to impressive displays of Alonso, Raikkonen and Button.
Top 3 Overall:
1. Autodynamics Grand Prix (eurobrun) - 1771 points
2. Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - 1726 points
3. That's Life (Nuppiz) - 1674 points

The Bad

Lowest Scorer: The Holy Romain Empire (Divina_Galica) - 365 points
ROTR: The Holy Romain Empire (Divina_Galica) - This season, a 365 score would normally be midfield, but in this case, with the opposition hitting new highs, it failed to up thee pace resulting in dropping to dead last in the GC. The DNFs of Sutil and Rosberg contributed to it.
Bottom 3:
16. DNPQ Racing (pi314159) - 1197 points
17. Melrose Racing Team (Wizzie) - 1186 points
18. The Holy Romain Empire (Divina_Galica) - 1175 points

Personal League table: 422th out of 1278 leagues (2038 points). Jumped another 58 places!

Well, having chosen Perez and Bottas probably ruled me out of any contention of sorts.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 15 Apr 2013, 22:37

Picking Alonso as the 'guest driver' (i rotate the fifth driver, next to running both Marussias and Caterhams) was a good decision, now i have the budget to take on an extra guest driver! (which will mean 2 midfield drivers, rather than one top driver)
My goal is to be able to run as many as possible drivers by the end of the season. (7 would be realistic, but maybe 8 will be possible)

Well, in that case i'll have to keep rotating top-drivers to joing my backmarkers.

Yes, maximum number of drivers is six. Still, you don't have to spend all your budget do you....(pretend you are spending the money on developing your 2014 car)

Fantasy Racers 2013: Bahrain GP Update

The Good
Top scorer: Lost in Space (tristan1117) - 697 points
IIDOTR: Lost in Space (tristan1117) - It was another high score for Lost in Space with a second IIDOTR this year by winning the round and jumping 6 places overall to 6th! Vettel's win and Grosjean podium did the trick this time around.
Top 3 Overall:
1. Autodynamics Grand Prix (eurobrun) - 2439 points
2. Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - 2216 points
3. That's Life (Nuppiz) - 2194 points

The Bad

Lowest Scorer: FullaNeutrals (CarlosFerreira) - 376 points
ROTR: WooPS (grovey) - While not the lowest score, WooPS enjoyed a fine start to the year and was fourth coming to this round looking to sneak back into podium places. Alas it was not to be. An horrible scoring round saw them take the plunge and fall 4 places and into a fiery midfield battle. In the end both STRs enjoyed a torrid time hurting WooPS prospects. Still, they have every chance to bounce back into it.
Bottom 3:
16. FullaNeutrals (CarlosFerreira) - 1689 points
17. DNPQ Racing (pi314159) - 1602 points
18. Melrose Racing Team (Wizzie) - 1584 points

Personal League table: 396th out of 1364 leagues (2735 points). We gained 26 places this time around. Curiously, we are just ahead of a team called Kobayashi's chop shop...

What makes it even worse is our average score for all four rounds this year has been less than 400 points (Which is less than 100 points per driver) :oops:

takagi_for_the_win · Post by **takagi_for_the_win** » 22 Apr 2013, 18:28

12th, still making a good claim to be the Stoke City of the league. Also, Pastor out, Rosberg in! Watch now as I shoot up the league! By October, you'll all be hailing the new phenomenon of restovwinslol!!! :lol:

takagi_for_the_win · Post by **takagi_for_the_win** » 12 May 2013, 18:36

Jumped up to 8th!

Fantasy Racers 2013: Spanish GP Update

The Good
Top scorer: Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - 711 points
IIDOTR: Restov Racing (takagi_for_the_win) - Great display by Restov, climbing to 8th after a great scoring round for Alonso, Vettel a namely Rosberg, who managed to out race a powerless Hamilton.
Top 3 Overall:
1. Autodynamics Grand Prix (eurobrun) - 3060 points
2. Aeroracing Engineering (Phoenix) - 2927 points
3. That's Life (Nuppiz) - 2712 points

The Bad

Lowest Scorer: Lost in Space (tristan1117) - 361 points
ROTR: Lost in Space (tristan1117) - After a IIDOTR award with the highest point score, here comes a low point for Lost in Space. An abject score sees them dropping to 11th and receive a ROTR award. While Vettel still managed some points, the same cannot be said for Grrrjjjjnnnn, Maldonado and an anonymous race for Hulkenberg.
Bottom 3:
16. The Holy Romain Empire (Divina_Galica) - 2142 points
17. DNPQ Racing (pi314159) - 2078 points
18. Melrose Racing Team (Wizzie) - 2015 points

Personal League table: 395th out of 1364 leagues (3446 points). This time, we gained just one place. Have we hit the ceiling?

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 13 May 2013, 09:27

Over 1000 points behind the F1R leader after five races? I might as well write off this year as a lost cause
