Fantasy Racers Reminder - Abu Dhabi

Published

By Christine Blachford

We were pretty much aware that Button had a good chance at being World Champion this year almost from the first few races. Likewise, in our Sidepodcast Fantasy Racers league, Kathi has had the title sewn up since the beginning.

It's been a really fun competition though, plenty of mid-field battles, and who hasn't enjoyed watching Mr C fall through the ranks each weekend? There is just one more opportunity for him to make amends and that is at the last race in Abu Dhabi.

I ditched my crazy strategy of last time, purchasing the cheapest drivers so I could have a lot of them. Now I have gone to the other extreme and am selecting the elite drivers. Well, the expensive ones anyway.

Driver Price
Jenson Button 11.3
Kimi Raikkonen 10.0
Lewis Hamilton 13.7
Mark Webber 10.9

The prices are correct at the time of writing. I ended up with 2.6 million in the bank, bringing my team value to 48.5, which may be the lowest since I started. I can't be sure, though.

It is probably too late to get too involved in the competition, but if you haven't signed up yet, it might be worth checking out Fantasy Racers to see how it works and how you can get involved next year. If you have a team, don't forget the deadline is 5pm UK Time to make your driver selections. Good luck, and let us know who you pick and how you get on.

    team longwhatsitsname have been concentrating on next year's chassis since melbourne '09 and are confident of a strong fightback in 2010.

    I'm sticking with the usual team, although Fisi has replaced Glock. If you want help or need a form guide, then please check out my blog post from Brazil on 'Making Up The Numbers' :D

    I wasn't going to change my team because I couldn't be bothered. But the emergence of Kovi on top changed my mind.

    oh. Heikki was already in that team. And I don't want to drop Rubens for Kobayashi, so I have dropped Webber and picked up Button so at least I have the top four.

    Sadly, looks like I am going to have to change my team's name for 2010. Stating that you were champions two years ago just does not seem to being in the sponours....

    So what date do I have surrender my current title to Kathi by... I need to figure out if UPS, Fedex or DHL is the cheapest option to go here...

    And when is her due date for her speach. You guys made me do one. Kathi is not going to get off lightly...

    And would Kathi at teh end of her speach, make "a few remarks in her own language?" liek they do at the end of F1 drivers press conferences? Just wondering....
