I got the pole bet, but now my hopes for Glock doing well in my team are slim... he has the gearbox penalty :doh:

Not good, not good at all.

At least I got the pole bet right, too.

Yeh, i got the pole sitter right..

But i've got Kimi for the win

I've only had a quick look at everyones team, but i can't see anyone with exactly the same line-up, which is a good thing, should make it very interesting.

It's gonna be odd watching the race hoping my favourite drivers/cars stuff it into the wall. Any Aussies out there fancy nipping down to the track and undoing one of Davidsons wheel nuts ? And i really wanted Glock to do well, but thanks to his stupid penalty has been pushed back on the grid (which is actually good for me, as i've got him down for not beating Trulli) And here's hoping Alonso doesn't get in the top 6...

My choices worked out well! Trulli, my main driver, did really well in qualy, Mobil-1 (mcl) fuel did superb, only thing is my Force India chassis+engine combo didn't do so well. Hopefully things will pick up for FI in the race in a few hours.

yay pole position went to hamilton woot i won the bet.

I am so screwed.

I am so screwed.

lol, all my hopes are now on Bourdais engine , every other parts of my team were knocked out on lap one

And his engines just gone...

That'll be me being tail-end charlie in this game then.

Phew! That was pure lottery. Who guessed most right?

Definitely not me. My bets were on Kimi winning AND taking pole. At least I had Nakajima in my team. But seriously, what an opener ... 7 cars finishing!

woot hamilton won hamilton won i betted on hamilton woot.

I got 2 questions right. Alonso in the top 6 and Fisico DNF

Damn I'm screwed! look at Gaxiola F1 team

WTF? - I'm winning (Team Top Gear)

Woot!

I just signed in on Formula 1 Race Manager 2008 and i also just entered the subleague
So i hope we are gonna have fun cuz that's why i'm in.

Here's some more info:

If I don't kill myself in the process, I might release this excel spreadsheet...

Well, that was a complete disaster

Got all my bets wrong (went for Kimi/Ferrari dominance, and wtf was Alonso doing in the top 6?? lol)

Fisi out on T1 of lap 1, Bourdais and his STR lose their engine 3 laps from home and Barichello is disqualified for jumping red lights in the pit lane....... :banghead:

C'mon, sing-a-long with me *Things, can only get better....*

Excellent first race of the season tho. Although it could be a one horse race for the title this year, it looks like the rest of the grid will provide much entertainment

Well done to those who done well

You're not the only one it was a complete disaster for HVS5b Of course this maybe my own fault for making silly bets in the first place..

You're correct though, it does look like it's set to be an interesting season!

For some reason i haven't done quite as badly as i had first thought, both drivers with their engines and chassis went out at T1, seems Bourdais saved the day, for me. (although i had forgotten i was using Mclaren fuel)

The hardest parts is knowing what to do next week, if Malaysia's going to be another lottery, then i guess it's all down to pure luck And just what am i going to do with a whopping 4mill extra to spend ?

Tell you what though, it certain adds a whole new dimension to watching the GP, i'm finding myself cheering on drivers and teams i wouldn't normally give a toss about, and hoping my favourites stuff it into the wall, or breakdown or something...very odd..

Also, does anyone know how to find out where our league stands in the general classification ?

Click on the ''Overall ranking can be found here" under our Subleague results.

I didn't do so well but others must have done really bad for me to end up 5th!

Agreed that the pay off is horrible. Don't think I'll spend anything till 2-3 races later...

Yeah, sorry, maybe i wasn't clear.

What i meant was, is there a way to find out where our "The Real BF1 league" stands in the subleague competition, i.e. in comparison to all the other subleagues.

We've got 18 guys in the top 200 overall, so i'm guessing we must be quite high up. And there are prizes for the best subleague, Yeh !...6 F1 caps

...And Norways as teh unofficial prize!

Anyhoo, it is probably something that will be released later on. I sent them some mail so let's see what they say.

Naturally those 6 caps go to 6 best teams of our sub league if we happen to win, just to be on the safe side .

Very nice, you can do that after every race.

I had a great result. NONE of my picks finished the race. :weeping:

Jeez - I am winning

And 12th in the world - with Sebastien Bordais!!!!

He's been subbed for the next race

I want a cap my old one just ripped. they should give us a cap for every one.

BTW can i have the granite quarys in norway?

Why didn't I win this bet?

"Will Glock beat Trulli?"

I said Yes, and it says I got it wrong? Glock clearly did more laps than Trulli and had a higher finishing spot, but neither finished the race. Did Glock have to finish the race?

Or is that a question for qualifying?

Both got nothing for the race, so they're equally rubbish
