2011 Fantasy F1 League
« on: March 21, 2011, 09:16:16 PM »
Ladies and Gentlemen!  Auto Puzzles is proud to announce the formation of the new 2011 F1 Fantasy League. This year we are letting the good folks at Speed host our game, as they permit us to actually start with some productive team components, whereas F1 Manager requires you to start with HRT, Virgin and Lotus and HOPE for some miraculous turn of events to move up in the rankings.

Here's the link:  gpedition.speedfantasyracing.com

The AP mini-league is called The Auto Puzzle Enigmas and the password is autopuzzle. Sign up this week and get ready for the fast and furious action in Melbourne this Sunday, when we will finally see the results of racing on tires that self destruct after 3 laps, KERS and movable rear wings.

Will there more passing or just chaos in the pit lane, as the cars stop 17 times for fresh rubber.  ???

Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for your team to be added to the mini-league, so be patient. I'll be peddling as fast as I can.

Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES!!!    ;D

Onward!

My reading of the scoring guide leads me to believe you want drivers who qualify well but then receive grid penalties, so they can work their way back through the pack and earn more bonus points. I'm not naming names but.....:D

You read the RULES!?!?!?!?  Isn't that cheating of some kind?    :lmao:

Awright, lads, we now have 2 teams in the league. We need about a dozen more. Two dozen would be even better.   :)

Conrero Squadra Corse will be on the grid for the 2011 season through both Speed Fantasy racing and F1RaceManager.

I assume everyone who has signed up has received this e-mail from Speed, but if not, please take notice:

Good News! You now have more time to pick your ultimate F1 team!

Consider it a test drive & practice round to learn the game! You now have one more week to get ready for the 2011 season & pick your ultimate F1 team.
Points for the Australian GP will NOT count towards your final points total. You will be able to see how your team has done after the race and change your selections, but all points will be ZERO before the Malaysian GP.
The 2011 SPEED Fantasy Racing GP Edition game will now start scoring points from the Malaysian GP through the Brazilian GP.
So take a test drive of the game this weekend, tweak your teams, learn the points system, challenge your friends & make sure your team is ready for Malaysia!


NOTE: If you have picked the Australian GP as your bonus track, change that selection. No bonus points will be awarded for the Aussie round. The brainiacs at Speed seem to have just realized that Bahrain was canceled!   :o
