Have entered two teams for this F1 season, Force Nee Idea and Force Nee Idea 2.

Are both my teams entered in one Sats league and will both appear on one starting grid?

Good luck to all.

Both teams are entered into our league Blatherskite :)

26 teams so far - thats the biggest grid we have had in years :D

You can make as many changes as you want to before the first race, so feel free to tweak your teams as you see fit for the next 3 weeks

Not F1 but motorsports related.
Horrific crash yesterday at the Nascar Daytona on their last lap dash.
NASCAR has confirmed that 28 fans were injured in total, with 14 treated on site and a further 14 transferred to local hospitals and ESPN reports that two fans are in a critical condition. All 12 drivers involved in the crash were uninjured.
In the multicar pile up, one car went airbourne, and hit the catch fencing, which was broken and parts of the car including a tyre, went into the crowd.

Never really liked US motorsports, never liked the going round and around the speedways. Indycar used to be just about watchable when they use actual race circuits, at least there was some variety.


F1 testing the last few days has been interesting.
Lewis in his merc fastest on day 3, with JB second.

Last test in a few days time, live on SSF1 in the afternoons....

Any more competitors?? The season is almost upon us :D

All you need is
an interest in F1
a bit of time to set an initial team up, then it takes as much or as little effort as you want to keep going every race
(and possibly the competitive spirit to hope you can putting one over on the regulars!)

:D

Ah I remember the good days of the 1980's when the F1 grids had pre qualifying as the cars were numbered up into the 30s :D

Tivù has exercised the feminine side of his brain (The mind changing bit) and is in with Ant Hill Mob and Slag Brothers again.

And if Maverick is reading, I appear to have been demoted to Amateur ............................ probably a fair reflection!

Good luck to all our league competitors, and theres just about still time to join in if there are any late entrants, although you will have to move quick to joinin and set your team up!.

Basically the only rule is you must have been a member of the forum on 31st Jan 2013
