No worries. Most of the posts are people entering their teams. We should have a website soon that will make viewing teams and eventually results a little easier.
Nope you are fine because your the first one to choose Turkey as your bonus GP. :)Quote:

Nope, you got him. I don't put any stock in testing times so I put the Brawn GP guys low on the list (well, Button was already down there due to my rating system).

Ah, stevie! welcome back! Nice to see some of the "FGP veterans" returning.
Just try not to beat up Villa again, okay? :) :)

Driver #3: R. Grosjean (1)

Didn't reach the £48 limit, but I'm not worried. I'm fully satisfied with my very competitive line-up and I firmly believe this team is capable of proving that it's possible to succeed without wasting as much money as others. :D
Sir Bagly Ecclestone has asked me to put in a team for him again , Mr. Jones .
I hope you don't mind .
He still has enough money left from last year to party on until the season has finished , so he asked me to pick winners this time .
Team name - FGP champion 2009
Driver#1 - Rubens - $3mill
Driver#2 - Jarno -$12mill
Reserve - Christian -$1mill
Chassis - BMW -$17mill
Engine - Renault -$14mill
Bonus GP -Brazil
Team name - Double Trouble

Let's try this again
Team Name - Trouble and Strife

Nope. Everyone is still able to add a team/make changes for another ten hours.
(http://www.timeanddate.com - go to the converter. Choose your city and my city - Chicago, IL, USA. The difference will tell you how much time is left before registration is closed!).
Your team looks very much like mine, so I noticed that you are paying Raikkonen his original price. He was adjusted down to 25m, so you have 2m more to spend on either chassis, engine, or 2nd driver ;)Quote:

That is it. Registration of new FGP teams is closed (making changes is also no longer allowed). 55 teams, one more than last year. Nice!
wow! despite the recession some motorsport formulas just keep growing.....
Anyone notice that since there are bonus points for drivers but not teams places extra value on drivers? I would have exploited that when I noticed it but didn't feel like doing all that math again.
so glad I chose Button and Barrichello as my drivers!
LOL! I bet most people are.
Me, I'm happy I have BMW because one of two things are going to happen:
1) the FIA deems these diffusers illegal, thereby leveling the playing field.
2) They are deemed legal and everyone else starts using them. Teams catch up quickly in F1 and I cannot see Toyota, Brawn/Virgin, and Williams staying on top all season.
Sorry for the late post, my taping of the race was foiled and I only just finished watching it.

I am still working on a website for our little FGP. When I have something setup I will will announce it. (pino - if you could kindly sticky this and all subsequent ones I would greatly appreciate it!!!)
Now you all know what POS means. :) Three spots from last. *shakes head* I just hope this Brawn GP phenomenon doesn't last or it will be a long year for me!
I was really hoping that Vettel would fall off in the last part... but that Kubica would keep going, since I have the BMW chassis. As it is, it feels a bit disappointing for my double-race.
Well, I have a BMW/Ferrari car and the Brawn drivers.
Mixed fortunes for me, but it could be worse.
I'm sorry, but I don't think these points are tallied correctly. I had an engine finish 5th (4 points) and a driver finish 8th (1 point). I didn't earn any bonus points, and my chassis were out of the points. Since this was my bonus GP, I should have 10 points. Instead, I have 14. I don't usually complain about getting extra points for nothing. I kept my mouth shut about it last year. But I can't help but wonder how many other teams are getting more points than they should.
And I'd like to keep my 4 extra points as an honesty bonus.
It just so happens that i am sitting here with N. Jones discussing points. He will look into it this evening and update if needed.Quote:
