Due to popular demand Fantasy Manager returns for 2005.

As there is only a little over a week to go until the season starts I will leave entries open until start of practise for Malaysia on 18 March.

Welcome back to the 5th annual RC Forum Fantasy Manager competition.

The competion will be run this year in a similar way to last year. Note that this is an amateur competition to give your some experience of the fun in managing your own team.

Rules and price lists are here

Visit the webpage to find out what is involved then come back here to post your team. Lets see who can take the Champion Manager crown off last year's champion - senna1.

Just a reminder that MrAerodynamicist was the 2001 champion, madmac the 2002 champion and jimmino the 2003 champion.

By the way, a small change from last year; you can only enter 1 (one) team this year.

Extra note: Team names are limited to 30 (thirty) characters including spaces!

Edit: Disclaimer: I hope past performance is NOT indicative of future results as I've well and truly sucked at this game for the last three years. 8 teams and some 50 GP's later I've only been able to reach the podium once. To any Raikkonen and Fisichella fans hoping for a good season, forget it. They will probably have piss poor reliability or overdrive or be found out by their team-mates. Same for anybody having hopes for Klien/Red Bull and the whole Toyota team. This most likely will not be their year either. I am sorry but this really seems to be the best predictor for the new season. It's worked for three years running. God I hope I'm wrong.
