I only recognized two in the first row.
Who are the others?

Unless it's not a joke
it's Senna, Prost, Mansell, Piquet

Was that Group B? I assume it was because there were only three options, in any case. That was wrong. Ta!

If you compare the driver prices to the current points ranking, there are some good bargains this week.

Yeah, that was group B.

Just made some changes. Hopefully, that will mean i can get closer to the top 10.

did ya?

Yep, i did. Worked out beautifully, didn't it. Too bad i'm kinda out of options for next race now - can't really improve on my first driver unless we'd get a bonus question worth 6m or something like that. Maybe i'll sell Button right away, he's not going to win Spa anyway.

Wonder of wonders, the bonus question is UP.

And perhaps the easiest one ever.

Question's up.
Cheers

I can't find any source of information for the italian gp to answer the question, it's driving me crazy !!







--------------------
.

It's all in wiki, as always.

Try Google for; Paolo Ghislimberti, Fire Marshal.

thanks guys, that was helpful!!

my google kung fu needs more practice



--------------------

....aaaaand we're back, new bonus question up, a few mins with Forix and a pen and paper should see you right (pm's welcomed if you don't get 7 haha)

I like the fact these questions require some research, really enthuses me to find out more about F1's past and do some thinking.

I have tried to answer without Google or any else help. I only mistake was at German GP, and that question was deemed to have been too difficult. Yet, at least Hungary was a guess.

You guys still playing? Bonus question is up.

gahd the bets are getting cheeky these days....'will Hamilton finish in the top 5?' wtf? what are they trying to say?

I got tired lately with waiting for results, so made myself an excel file for calculating those.
Than I though maybe someone else would also be interested in those, so I'm putting results here.

This week's bonus question is very tricky...

For me it looks like an error, as Chandhok never raced in World Series by Renault?

E: Well no, it actually doen't make sense, as wiki states it's "2005 Formula Renault 3.5 Series"
but I believe it is being referred to as World Series by Renault.

It was Nissan before Renault. Won't be the first time the organisers have messed up the wording of a question.

so we've got the top 3 in the Atlas subleague covered by 14 points with two races to go?!?! eek!!

McLaren gamble paid off, got me to fourth! Even more points for Team Maltese.
New top 10:
scuderia
hbrt
bscda
marillion
maverick
mumbo
jml
ecurie
lofton
maltese

Edit: Crappy typo, got too happy to early

Can't believe I FINALLY decided to go for Vettel, and he has his first DNF!!!!!!

I bet NOBODY had SV for the first DNF...

Well, you and me both. Switched out Button for him...

Same here. Unbelievable...

What's the point of completing the "Bets" if you can not use the funds after this last race?

so who was HBRT Bavaria? Henrik B? If so congratulations!! (in an effort to gather up 200+ points on HBRT and Scuderia August i had to gamble so i chucked it all on black (i.e. McLaren) and the ball fell on red....lol)

Great competition this season, and thanks to you all for playing....well done again HBRT i assume you win bugger all? lol

just a quick question, is there enough interest for a F1 race manager 2012 competition? See here for full details, game reset for 2012, should we restart with 'Atlas F1 2012' or something to allow the league list to be 'pruned' etc......

yes

I think I'm going to give it a miss this year.

I don't have the tolerance to put up with months of ambiguous bonus questions and other quirks the game throws up.

Ambiguous bonus questions? Huh? Didn't have any problems with them.

Come on...let's do it...
I ran P1 for a few weeks, then bet heavy on Renault and Heidfeld and Lewis.
Ended up 19th or so.
I won't make that mistake again.
Anyway... Zauber is in!

Oh come on, you only have to look back through this thread for examples! The person in charge of the site is (I believe) from the Netherlands and it appeared as though he worded some of the question through Google Translate.

No prblem. This thread gave clarification, if not the answer, when required.

I failed to see the point in that as well. Giving out the answers like that, usually as a result of struggling to understand the question. We might as well consulted one another on our line ups!

I just know that i got all of them right last year. I do remember we had some clarifications in the shoutbox though and i think at one race the admin just gave everyone the 3m when people complained about the question. Come on, it wasn't THAT bad.

If you failed to see the point, it should have been clear to you when a member of another subleague explained that they freely exchange answers.
The point is to win the subleague.
See, it IS a team sport...

Surely the aim of the game is to beat each other to the top of the sub league? If that's not the case and it is league vs. league then we may as well discuss who and what to buy as well with regards to line ups?

ok seeing as Ultra (our OP and founder) hasn't been online here since December, i'm gonna open the floor to interested parties for a new subleague for 2012 - if we have more than (lets say) 12 entries by Midnight on Wednesday then i'll start a new subleague for the competition....if we don't get to 12 then we'll knock it on the head with thanks - all interested parties please post.

Wrighty (aka UKSOM, previously BSCDA Racing)

I'm in, finished 2nd in 2010 but suffered a massive slump in 2011 so I'm eager to fight my way back to the top

I'm in as well. But why not continue in the old subleague?

Im in, hopefully I will remember to play all season this time. Ferrari doing so poorly put me a depressed mood, couldnt play silly games lol

I'm all in!

P.S. But I already pre-setup a team in f1racemanager.com and f1manager.info (btw, play in this one too!)

+1
It's already set-up and we have the password ('autosport') for any new members that wish to join. Or was it changed at some point?

+1
I agree. How else would we know if we are doing better than last year?

Hi ,
The only reasoned i'd suggested a new subleague was because there are several (probably a couple of dozen or more) in the current subleague list who aren't active on the board, so i felt it would give a more 'active' league but it's no biggy, our details are still in the OP for new members to join and, as you've already said here 'the more the merrier'
