[N. Jones]

You guys and gals (or maybe it should read guys and/or gals?) need to fill me in on how you pick such good teams year in and year out.
I run the joint but my teams always stink! :laugh:

[Nikki Katz]

It looks like the leaders all have fairly meh drivers but a good chassis and any engine other than Cosworth. I guess I only really picked Schumacher because I was going to base the team around Force India (mistake!), and he was the most expensive driver I could afford when doing that. Although I'm surprised he only has 2 points, I'm not really surprised that he's not challenging for the title etc. Though I still feel bad about the lost pole, not that he would have finished that race anyway. Should've gone for Grosjean though, he looks more likely to get a result if he can just get around that first corner!

[N. Jones]

Oh Hammy.... I hope this pace continues because Grosjean and Vergne looked pretty slow!

A pretty good race for me. Red Bull didn't quite deliver in the end, but on the other hand Mercedes was the top engine and Grosjean second among drivers. Also managed to increase my advantage over chasers in the overall standings in P2, which, by the way, is the best, where I can finish this year anyway.

P-6 Grosjean saved my a$$ :erm:

[Shifter]

Monaco was a nice variation. Now back to regularly scheduled non-points finishes for Hulkenberg and Vergne. I really thought Hulk would find a way to bag points in the FI every couple of races!

[N. Jones]

P-6 Grosjean saved my a$$ :erm:

Oh you and me both. While McLaren would have given me 50 points Grosjean really put us in the top 15. If that combo can keep it up we could maybe finish in the top ten.

[Tazio]

Monaco was a nice variation. Now back to regularly scheduled non-points finishes for Hulkenberg and Vergne. I really thought Hulk would find a way to bag points in the FI every couple of races!@ N jones as well, I feel your pain. My other driver Vergne, was the one I thought might score a few points for me when I picked my team. If Ferrari would have pitted Alonso, the lap after Hamilton I'm pretty sure I would be looking at second place points, for the Ferrari lump. This is not the kind of fantasy I'm really digging these days. :D

[airshifter]

Perez finally came through with some good points for me! :D

Overall a great race for me. Fun to watch, my FGP team did well, and essentially all my favorite drivers finished in the top 10.

I tied for 5th today, which is a great day for my team after some not so great finishes.


Interesting results though. Three people tied for second, three people tied for 5th, and two people for 8th.

[Tazio]

Oh you and me both. While McLaren would have given me 50 points Grosjean really put us in the top 15. If that combo can keep it up we could maybe finish in the top ten.I'm pretty sure curently being in P-6 overall, I have a shot at the top shelf. If Vergne could get his dumb as$ into grid position 12 I'd run away wth the whole shooting match. Are you sure you added my total correctly. :grenade: ;)

[N. Jones]

Well, for me that is if McLaren keep winning or a least getting a podium. Who knows what Grosjean will do.

[Tazio]

Truth^^^ Grosjean (the artist's formerly known as Renault) will always be good on hot dry tracks, but FGP is very tight at the top, and Toro Rosso in Vergne hands would double down for me with the lump. But I think it's going to take a crazy rain race for those fools to score :laugh:

[N. Jones]

I know. STR is in deep with the guys they have. We just have to hope that McLaren and Roman finish in the top five.

[Tazio]

I know. STR is in deep with the guys they have. We just have to hope that McLaren and Roman finish in the top five.

Speak for your self ;) My team is more like this:

Slash Racing

Pilot 3 Sutil 1
Pilot 2 Vergne 6
Pilot 1 Grosjean 10
Lump Ferrari 9
Chassis Red Bull 22
Total 48m
Bonus Maylasia

So we have slightly different agendas. I'm relatively confident that I will be observing from the pound seats(top 10)for the rest of the season. :champion: :grenade:

[N. Jones]

Ah, same pilots, different jalopy.

I thought you were one of the other two who have the Grosjean/McLaren/Mercedes combo.

[airshifter]

I think I am the only person that picked Perez as my driver. With all the top drivers fighting for top of the podium finishes and changing race to race, I might be in good shape if Sergio can stay in the consistent points and sneak a few podiums in. :D

[Tazio]

Ah, same pilots, different jalopy.

I thought you were one of the other two who have the Grosjean/McLaren/Mercedes combo. Than you have me covered unless Red Bull, and Ferrari score as much as the McLaren Chassis, and Mercedes Lump. I'd say you have the upper hand, but I ain't heard no freakin' fat lady singing yet. :cool:

[N. Jones]

I can only hope. Help us, Young-y Lewis, you are our only hope.

I really thought McLaren would be the top car this year, instead they are half a car since Jensen has reverted to his bad-old days from Honda...

[Tazio]

It will come down to the wire I think. Good tight FGP battle :up:

[N. Jones]

I agree. This has been a great season.


Also... where is everyone in FGP?? Don't be shy! Come on in and say you peace. It's peaceful in here!

[jens]

While you guys are wondering about finishing in top6 or top10 by the end of the season, I myself think I should have a decent chance of finishing in top3 if the season carries on in current way. The main obstacle I can see to that is if Ferrari/McLaren manage to get a clear advantage over Red Bull. My team is particularly allergic to the success of Ferrari. There is nothing in my team about Ferrari (neither chassis nor engine nor a driver), so when they win it can only influence me badly. Malaysian GP was the low-point of my season, I was tied for only P39 there. :p : The resurgence in Ferrari's competitiveness since the beginning of the European season is a slight concern.

And it was my bonus race ;) :s mokin:

[N. Jones]

That's why my bonus is later in the season. By then my team will either be going forward or backward.

I'll either fly like an eagle or drop like a rock.

I don't like rocks....

[Tazio]

Right now 1st through 12th have used their Bonus races. However there are many that are close that have not. I think that the key to this puzzle is how will McLaren Finnish this season? I have not studied the teams but I'm guessing that a lot of entrants have either the McLaren Chasis, and or Mercedes Lump. Mercedes the team was over-hyped and I think they will disappoint but FI will be helpful. McLaren and Mercedes are not particularly kind to their tires especially in hot conditions. Ferrari is in the same boat although I think that the form in Canada may change because they may not have anticipated the new exhaust affecting the tires, either by cooking them with gas or just the added down force they gained, in the rear tires are causing more wear. What they do have going for them is IMO a platform that may very well evolve until the last race of the season. Jens you do look very solid and as you have said It will take a tremendous return to the top by Ferrari for you to have a bad result, but I wouldn’t start counting my chickens yet ;)
Grosjean is starting to look like the deal of the century :eek:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKtCVblxDRc&feature=related: :p imp:

[N. Jones]

Every year people choose Mercedes/Ferrari by far. This year there are a few more Red Bull/Renault entrants.
I am really hoping to see Cosworth end up in a competitive car and some new engines as well. More choices for us.

[steveaki13]

I have only just looked after being away for a while.

I won in Canada with 110 points. Bonus weekend, but a good score.

I tried to choose my Bonus race, cleverly.
Lewis is normally good around Montreal and so it proved. Also its a race where lower teams often finish up the field. As Sauber did. And Ferrari did OK. So nearly everything came together and got me a haul of points and taken me to third. Sweet


Back into the championship battle. ;)

Just need Vergne to start hauling in points and I'll be flying. :(

110 is really good even for a bonus GP! :)

Perez finally landed me some good points, but this week Kobayashi killed him in qually. I hope my secret weapon gets back into form and into the consistent points.

[N. Jones]

FGP Results are going to be delayed today because of my son's birthday party. They will not be posted until later tonight/in the middle of the night/early tomorrow morning, depending on where you live.

[N. Jones]

I heard that this was the first exciting Valencia GP. I have it on the DVR and will watch it tonight.

[pino]

Grosjean let me down again :(

[jens]

Well, this was a terrible race for my team. Alonso-Ferrari won (I have mentioned it before that this scenario would be disastrous for me), not a good day for RBR nor Mercedes engine, even worse for Grosjean. Now with Alonso rocketing ahead in the championship, it is really making my situation critical. If Alonso pulls away and wins the WDC, I won't be a front-runner any more.

[N. Jones]

Grosjean AND Vergne let me down. Hamilton getting punted just ruined my top 15 spot (I think).
I won't be back until later in the day.

[steveaki13]

This was not good for me after winning last week.

Hamilton crashed.
Vergne was an idiot
Sauber faded

The only high spot was my Ferrari Engine

[aryan]

Finally I get points from one of my drivers! Yay!

[airshifter]

Finally I get points from one of my drivers! Yay!

Great to see Kimi up top again. I don't have him on my team due to funding, but that is part of the "win, win" situation for me. Even if I have a crappy FGP some of my favorite drivers often do well!



N. Jones - Did you see the penalty for Pastor? Knowing you had a delay I figured I would mention this, as it will obviously change the points.

[N. Jones]

Yep. I will get to this in a few minutes.

Well if Red Bull is as quick the rest of the way as they were in Valencia, and Alonso stays consistent, I think I'll be ok.

[steveaki13]

With the rain. Can we declare Perez winner and Lewis Second, because they are two of my picks. I would settle for a 1-2.

:D Well, as long as Alonso/Ferrari remain fast, you have a decent chance of catching me. :)

[airshifter]

My race went completely to crap with Mclaren doing poorly and Perez being punted off track.

Though not on my team, I'm glad Kimi and Romain both had good finishes.

[Tazio]

:D Well, as long as Alonso/Ferrari remain fast, you have a decent chance of catching me. :) In all honesty there are several teams that are in just as strong a position I feel like I'm in, not the least of which being DeezLugNutz, and KOZ :uhoh: :)

Just noticed that Koz hasn't had bonus GP yet, but despite that his team is up in joint 6th in the standings. :eek: A major contender for the championship win, I have to say.

Who would have thought Lotus can remain that good for so long into the season and are constant front-runners. Those three FGP teams, who have chosen the Lotus chassis, have taken an excellent gamble and are doing very well indeed.

[Tazio]

Who would have thought Lotus can remain that good for so long into the season and are constant front-runners. Those three FGP teams, who have chosen the Lotus chassis, have taken an excellent gamble and are doing very well indeed.Not I but I doubt that they will stop development any time soon. If they can maintain their pace relative to the rest of the frontrunners, those that picked them will benefit from having been able to afford more competitive drivers on midfield teams. :angryfire
@ Airshifter you're in the fight, however I'm thinking you meant to put a smiley, winking emoticon after PDR, no? :confused: :p :

[Tazio]

@ Airshifter you're in the fight, however I'm thinking you meant to put a smiley, winking emoticon after PDR, no? :confused: :p : Sorry Air' I meant Firstgear, and I know he's joking because he doesn't even have PDR ;)

[pino]

If both Grosjean, Massa and both McLarens had not let me down...I would be leading by now :(

:p :

[Firstgear]

Sorry Air' I meant Firstgear, and I know you're he's joking because he doesn't even have PDR ;)
Oops, maybe I should've typed PdR. :confused: I meant Paul di Resta, not Pedro de la Rosa.

And I do need points from him - bragging rights and a free lunch are at stake. :D

[Tazio]

Although technically Pedro should be PdlR, or PMdlR. :D
Pedro de la Rosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_de_la_Rosa)

[N. Jones]

Something like that. Either way it doesn't look like either pdr will be scoring points this year...

[Tazio]

With all due respect I think di Resta has an excellent chance of scoring in FGP.

[aryan]

So, 17th in this GP, and 17th overall.

Man... I was hoping for a podium finish this year. But in retrospect, I really chose a bad combination. General wisdom in previous years was that spending on drivers isn't the best strategy, but this year, because the teams are so close and no manufacturer ahead of everyone else, even midfield/affordable drivers are getting good points, so unless you picked absolutely the worst driver combination possible (like me), then spending on midfield drivers was a wise strategy this year.

If I was to choose my team now, it would be a Renault engine, a Lotus chassis and at least one respectable driver.

[N. Jones]

We'll see.

[Tazio]

Either way it doesn't look like either pdr will be scoring points this year...


We'll see.
Bookmarked ;)

[N. Jones]

Be my guest. FI has been the craps all season and I Don't see it getting any better. Even if McLaren falter to 11-14th there are Williams and Sauber to fill in the two top ten places where Jense and Hamm should be.

[N. Jones]

Results will be up tomorrow.

RG sucked in Germany, and my team took a real hit with Vettel getting the penalty, on top of Kimi's great result. However I will gladly take the bullet to see Vettel exposed as somewhat of a pampered punk.
And what is with his apology to the team for not winning the race on the cool down lap. :confused:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYIKw91sAWE

[pino]

I am among those who have Grosjean as first driver :s

[N. Jones]

I heard that. I don't know why he said it. He drove well but Alonso drove better.

[jens]

Well, my hopes of finishing at the top of the leaderboard are gradually coming to an end, because Alonso is absolutely dominating the WDC standings. I won't blame Grosjean - he has nonetheless collected quite a lot of points by now (who expected him to collect 60+ points before the season, while choosing him as their driver?) and more than other midfield drivers. But the success of Alonso/Ferrari over Red Bull and McLaren/Mercedes is absolutely fateful...

[N. Jones]

Fateful and hurtful. :(

[steveaki13]

I didnt do to bad 23rd considering Lewis & Jean Eric both failed badly.

Ferrari Engine won and Sauber Chassis got loads of points. Well done Fernando, Sergio & Kamui.

[Shifter]

That's what's so great about this form of fantasy GP racing. Instead of constantly jumping ship, your fate is the fate of the actual team chassis, the overall implementation of the engine program, and the ups and downs of your drivers! Having a tough year? Imagine what it's like for the people actually involved in a particular program or for the driver down on his luck; a small part of you is right there with them!

[N. Jones]

I think we Jean Eric owners can expect him to stay in the 14-16th range for the rest of the season.

[aryan]

I think we Jean Eric owners can expect him to stay in the 14-16th range for the rest of the season.

[N. Jones]

Hey, I'm only stating opinion that I pose as facts here. You can't expect to take a guy who'd perpetually mid-pack serious!

[steveaki13]

I am sad I have Jean Eric in my team. He is my weak link.

I would be in the top 5 overall if I had chosen someone else.

[jens]

Well, weakling in my team is Glock. At least Vergne has some hope of scoring some points at times. :p :

[steveaki13]

Well, weakling in my team is Glock. At least Vergne has some hope of scoring some points at times. :p :

Did anyone pick Narain. If so you might as well have saved some Fantasy GP money and not run a second car in the team. ;)

Or give yourself the drive. :s mokin:

[Koz]

I think I had a pretty good race. Hopefully I'll make it into the top 5 this time.

OK but not great again for me. No Vergne or Saubers this week, but Hamilton and Ferrari engine done me OK.

This is just not my year!

[N. Jones]

I jumped back up to 17th from 24th. A 3rd in the race certainly helped!

[jens]

Well, now when Ferrari/Alonso didn't shine, my race was instantly much better. :p :

Teams, who have chosen Räikkönen as their driver, have a clear 1-2 in the standings. Kimi has turned out to be a brilliant choice at a relatively cheap price, which still enabled to save enough money for decent chassis and engine.

We having been discussing a lot about the efficiency of Grosjean in this thread. I think in retrospect he has turned out to be the second best choice on the price/points-scoring scale. Who would have thought Lotus can be that good all season?

Also Lotus itself is probably the best chassis on the price/points scale. I think anyone, who has anything about Lotus in his/her team (driver or chassis), has done well by getting a decent points accumulator at a good bargaining price, while still saving money to get some additional strong point-collectors.

Now think about this:
Räikkönen (15M) + Grosjean (9M) + Lotus (13M) + Ferrari (9M) = 46M. I think had anyone opted for this, it would have been a dream team. Imagine having absolutely everything - chassis, engine and both drivers scoring well. What would be the amount of points of such combo by now?

Koz is in the Freakin' pound seats. Those of us that have been paying attention know that before you could say ___________ everything could change, and in the words of "The Bard" Koz could be "as poor as the King" ;)

[N. Jones]

It's all about consistency, Taz, and so far the Kimi and LotusF1 or Ferrari people are doing very well. if McLaren turned it around it would be a different story.

Consistency, consistency.... it's just as hard to predict here as it is in the pickems.

[N. Jones]

Raikkonen + Grosjean + LotusF1 + Ferrari (and some 3rd driver) = 47 million.

Koz is in the Freakin' pound seats. Those of us that have been paying attention know that before you could say ___________ everything could change, and in the words of "The Bard" Koz could be "as poor as the King" ;)

I am not worried - Kimi will win at Spa. :)

After that I wait till Stasio i Jasio comes and wins on the final race.

[Tazio]

:champion:
I am not worried - Kimi will win at Spa. :)

I could be coerced ito a wager in this matter :champion:

[Tazio]

Well Koz I'm waiting!!!

[Tazio]

I am not worried - Kimi will win at Spa. :)

Even with the upgrades I don't think the E20 will be the fastest car their in cool conditions, let's bet!

[Koz]

:champion: I could be coerced ito a wager in this matter :champion:

A wager you say?

Sounds tempting. How much? :)

[Tazio]

A wager you say?

Come on Koz we only do signature bets, you do know what those are, correct?

[N. Jones]

This is very interesting. C'mon, boys, let's hear that wager! :)

[Koz]

Come on Koz we only do signature bets, you do know what those are, correct?

:( I was hoping to make some easy money.

Alright, a signature bet it is. I'll try to think of something...

[Tazio]

Alright, a signature bet it is. I'll try to think of something... Lets start with the conditions/terms of the wager.

[N. Jones]

A signature bet? How about who ever loses has to make up next year's FGP team from Marussia and HRT only??

hahahahahaha :D

[Tazio]

How about who ever loses has to make up next year's FGP team from Marussia and HRT only??
I'd rather spend a year in a Turkish Prison! :uhoh: :angel:

[Koz]

Lets start with the conditions/terms of the wager.

Lets keep it simple, Kimi will win at Spa.
Barring mechanical failure while leading or someone taking him out through not fault of his own while leading, in which case we case we annul the wager.

Anything you would like to add?

[N. Jones]

Anything you would like to add?Koz I don't like those terms at all, plus I think you are cheating yourself. I suggest you chose one pilot to win (I assume your choice is Kimi), and I chose one pilot to win. If neither wins than we have no bet. If one gets taken out tough titties. I would like to recommend a side bet that maybe someone like N. Jones, Jens, or anyone else for that matter may want to place: If Igornado takes out both of our pilots that punter gets to give us both sigs to use. Plus the sigs should not be crude or caustic, just good natured ribbing.

[Koz]

^^ Sounds good.
Who's your pick for the win? The Boss?

[Tazio]

^^ Sounds good.
Who's your pick for the win? The Boss?What makes you think that?

[N. Jones]

Who's 'the boss'???

[Tazio]

Hamilton of course!!

[Koz]

What makes you think that?

Who else would it be? :)

[Tazio]

I'll take Ro Gro. :eek: Not because I think he will win, but because I think the artist’s formerly known as Renault will lose. Plus there is the added obstacle of RG having to pull over for Kimi, although if he does it will be for a position other than first. Snap!

What an interesting 2012 season. It would be great to go to the USA GP for free.... take a look at this Formula Santander - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/formulasantander)

[Tazio]

Also I humbly suggest that sigs have to be diplayed through the Singapore race weekend.

[N. Jones]

So the bet for the moment is:

Koz takes Kimi for the win at Spa.
Doc takes Roman for the win at Spa (?)

Loser has to turn the sig over to the other. Message to be posted until the Singapore GP is over.

Correctus?

I am sorry but that, good sir, is a terrible bet.

[Tazio]

I am sorry but that, good sir, is a terrible bet.What if "The Artists formerly known as Renault" are the fastest cars @ Spa as many have suggested, and I never completely discounted. That puts me in the fastest car in the race. Kimi has a great record at Spa, RG not very much even in lower formulae, which only tells me that he is overdue (on several levels).
:s ailor: The game is afoot

There's just something about betting when you know you can't really lose that takes the fun away.

[Koz]

Could say the same about Alonso too. He's long overdue for a win at Spa too!

[Tazio]

There's just something about betting when you know you can't really lose that takes the fun away.Hold the phone there chief, what do you mean I'm betting so I can't lose? You are the one that said Kimi will win. I'm the one not only saying he won't, I'm betting his teammate will not only put a beat-down on Kimi, but fulfill his increasing progeny displayed by his good form that has only been sidetracked by one sloppy race @ Hung', and other issues mostly out of his control.

You want a straight bet, Kimi against Ro Gro? Let's get it on!!! "Steel Cage Match baby"! :kiss: ;)

[Tazio]

How about a straight bet Lewis and Kimi? :) No thanks. Let's stick with the bet we agreed on. :)

[N. Jones]

SO what's going on here?? Have you two finally hammered out your bet before the race starts?

[Tazio]

Post 371 is the deal

[N. Jones]

Okay.

[steveaki13]

That was one of the worst races ever for me.

Hamilton - Out first corner.
Sauber - Out first Corner
Ferrari - Lost one car first corner.

So only a Massa and Vergne points for me.

Love the Mclaren win but Grosjean.... you anger me. At least you helped give Vergne a chance to make itto the top ten, since you single handedly wiped out Alonso, Hamilton, both Saubers, and yourself.

Way to go! :arrowed:

[steveaki13]

You feel as though we are quite a way through the season, but when you actually look at the calender there are still plenty of points to be won.

Anyone can still finish well.

[N. Jones]

I know! Eight races left! More McLaren wins and some points from the Moron and the Rookie and I might see top ten again.

[N. Jones]

Due to moving the results for the Italian Grand Prix will not be online until Friday the 14th.

[steveaki13]

Well I was 53rd out of 55 last week, but had a pretty good weekend I think this weekend.

Hamilton & Vergne = A win although JEV had a DNF (nothing new there)

Sauber = A second place and 9th? or something

Ferrari= 3rd and 4th.

Shouldn't be too bad that.

[N. Jones]

It will take me a few days but I will have the results posted as soon as I can.

I am doing well - 13th overall, but next year I am going to wait until the last practice session is over before I select my team. It seems those that did so are doing well.

[airshifter]

My secret weapon Perez came through in Italy to give me 7th place, but things were not so good in Singapore. I'm holding at 12th overall, but soon to drop as some of the front runners finally cash in on their bonus GP races.

Still not a bad season overall for me.

[N. Jones]

Ah!

I forgot that Perez scored a point because of Webber's penalty. This is NOT reflected on the site. I will fix this tonight.

I also took a big hit due to Rogro's ban, but I bounced back. Now my expectations have been lowered and am hoping for a top 10 finish :p :

Perez in 10th I get a whole point more. It could bring me up to 50th in Singapore.

[N. Jones]

Too late now.

It's over and done with. Roman needs to step it up, my bonus GP is coming!

[Shifter]

Suzuka is my BGP -- RedBull looks solid, but with a poor quali for Hamilton and Button getting the gearbox penalty, I'm worried for my Merc engine points. Then there's my drivers, Hulk and Vergne, not too good there either with both getting slapped with grid penalties!

Still top 20 overall... but that might get killed as well. Either way, it's still fun.

[N. Jones]

I'm 12th overall thanks to McLaren and Grosjean. If Vergne can keep finishing 8th - 10th I think a top 15 spot should be secure.

It would be my first top 20 finish since 2008.

I guess if I was doing better than 15th overall I might be looking at the points some.... :mad:

[N. Jones]

Somehow the I goofed the placing of the range for the rank function. When someone with 540 points is ranked higher than someone with 580 points there is definitely a problem! :)

[aryan]

So I was away for a few GPs, I come back and looks like I've had a few decent results. Two 6th place and a 5th place in the last 3 races. Who knew!

Still barely hanging in at top 20, but perhaps I now have a chance of at least finishing in the top 20.

Lewis Hamilton starting on pole is a great way for me to begin this race. If he wins it could really help me hold on to a top 15 finish.

Won a race in the early season and a few top 5 finishes, but now I have been sliding done the order and now and 30th.

Building ready for 2013.

Overall Standings (http://sites.google.com/site/2009fgp/results/-00-standings)

For 2012 the Champion had finished no higher than 6th in the first ten races. After the summer break things turned around in a big way. The 2012 Champion finished lower than 25th only twice in the second half to win the team's first championship.

Raise and hand, or a glass, or a fist, whichever is easiest, and salute:


SkyTom's TEAM137

As FGP's new World Champion! :champion:

Congrats!!

Our 2nd place podium finisher was 5th overall last season. Give it up for


Team Marlboro Koz Racing :bigcry:


Those are tears of joy, friends!


Last but certainly not least our third podium finisher:

Awesome Mustangs! :wave:

Congratulations to ALL of our podium finishers!

And now, a special mention to our top ten finishers:

4th goes to Stasio i Jasio GP, who couldn't pull off our first double champion. Great Try!
5th is Studiose Racing, who was an early leader in FGP but couldn't hang onto a top spot. Nevertheless Studiose fought hard to grab a top five finish.
6th is our other early leader - Sentinel Racing. They led most of the early GPs until a driver and a chassis let them down a bit.
7th is Red Passion Team, who I believe came on strong late in the season.
8th is Mussara F1 who, after a shaky start was consistent throughout the campaign to stay in the top ten.
9th, Rocky Road, was much like Mussara, yo-yo'ing early on until stabilizing in the top ten.
10th is PSF1, who also put up a good fight and never lost sight of a top ten finish.

Congrats to all of you!

THANK YOU to everyone who played! You are the reason I do this every year.

I think I am going to promote FGP a little more often in the other threads and see if we can drum up some interest. When I took over in 2009 FGP had 80 participants. Four years later we seemed to have settled in the 50-55 range. I would like to get up to a higher number again and I think learning how to build a website would be more of a help than a hindrance.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate you joining up and for commenting on this thread throughout the year.

7th overall ! :eek: :beer: That's an amazing result considering that I had Grosjean as my first driver who was banned from my Bonus GP Monaco, and was involved in so many incidents :(

Thank you for your amazing work N.Jones :up: Cant wait for next season !

[SkyTom]

Wow! Thank you so much N Jones for making this happen each year and for putting so much effort in.

I have not won anything on this forum since my second pickems title in '09 and was beginning to doubt myself :D
This is fantastic, I am so happy! Glad I put my faith in Kimi.
