In order to avoid clogging up the other FF1 thread I thought I'd start another.

http://badgergp.com/fantasygp/play/

This is an alternative Fantasy F1 league - with Badger you choose 3 teams and 3 drivers. You then make predictions for each race and can change your team and driver choices throughout the season - penalties apply for too many changes.

If you fancy a more interactive experience than the current FF1 thread ( here ) then you should sign up and get involved. I created a "Friends League" called PistonHeads which I sincerely hope doesn't require me to do anything to let you all join! But if it does I'm man enough to take the reins.

If you prefer the other FF1 league, more power to your elbow - I personally prefer not being tied to a choice made during pre-season testing!

This is my 3rd year of Badger F1 - they give out prizes each week and I've enjoyed it very much. The other FF1 league I stopped looking at after week one. Just personal preference, nothing more.

Rules are pretty simple - you score the same points as your team and your drivers.

You get bonus points for your predictions.
You get bonus points if your drivers make lots of overtakes.

I find that logging on and setting predictions early helps avoid missing out on points if you forget to later on. Logon to check scores from last race - put in banker predictions for next race, revisit and review if you get time.

I'll be honest and say it's easy to forget but I found it so much more rewarding than the FF1 league when doing well. It might help that I won a mug... smile

Sorry for the false info - I got no error when I typed pistonheads as the password so assumed I was in. Just used the passcode ^ and now I AM in.

Cheers
