Congrats to the winners :-worship :-worship :-worship

Like last year I've ended up with one of the strongest teams as I'm supporting you all.......still an enjoyable season and a thrilling climax.......only wish I'd figured out how to use KERS before the last GP......

And a special thanks to Sonnetpete from me and SWMBO for letting us have a lend of his big telly for the Valencia Race - It was a soggy day in Lower Normandy otherwise. Well, it was a soggy day there regardless.

Congratulations to all winners I was on the back foot from race one this year and only managed 6th and 9th but surprisingly managed a podium in another league

AH yes the advantages of running multiple teams to try different strategies. My team #5 excelled this season - Id have won our league with it!!

No you would not....... my team TT1 would have beaten you by 15 points :-beer

 

[Analoguesat]

Hmm think a 16 point drop would need to have been imposed for an infringement!

.......would you believe it's yet another soggy day today?........and if you're finished with it, can I have the telly back?....still don't know how you got it in the overhead locker on the plane.....

Currently watching one of NHK's superb documentaries - Jenson Button in the disaster area supporting the young aspiring drivers in the go-kart scene.

Its part of the "Beyond 3-11" series of programmes, which Ive been watching since the tsunami.

 

[Topper]

Well I never

I never cease to be amazed by Ferrari's dogged interpretations of the rules, how would they have got hold of that footage from inside Vettel's car....

This years Race of Champions is NOW on Motors TV!!!

Germany (Vets and Cobbler) won the Nations Cup on Saturday..

Reports suggest Hapless Hispania / HRT have been liquidated.

 

[Lazarus]

Financially, presumably?

 

[Analoguesat]

Yup - no buyer by the end of November when the 2013 entry fees had to be paid, which is why they were left off the entry list for next year.

Two questions :

(1) Does anyone fancy a whipround so we can own a non fantasy team?

(2) Do they take credit cards?

Install a remote control system and we can all have a drive a couple of times a season
