Congrats to Motoring, our 2011 Fantasy Champion!

edited by sperry at 11:32 am, Nov 28 The season is complete! Congratulations to Motoring, our 2011 Fantasy F1 Champion!

Motoring's season began slowly without winning a race until Spain (Round 5), where she finally took the victory with a perfect set of picks. From there she had a roller-coaster ride for the next 5 rounds, going between wins and 9th or worse finishes. But by Germany (Round 10), Motoring began her march to the top with all podium finishes through Round 17, including 5 of her 7 event wins. She finally took the overall lead in Abu Dhabi, the second to last event, and held it through Brazil to win the overall championship. Motoring finishes the season as the only participant to break 1000 points, scoring a massive 1002 points.

Motoring has competed in the Fantasy F1 championship since the first season, and has finished in 2nd place overall in 2010 and 2007, and 7th in 2009 and 2008, and 5th in 2006. This is her 1st overall win, and is perhaps some vindication after coming close twice before. Congrats again to Motoring!

Placing 2nd overall this season is owace. owace started off with a bang, scoring more than 70 points in 10 of the 1st 11 rounds, including 2 perfect 80 point rounds. owace lead the championship for all but 4 rounds of the season; twice he temporarily lost the least to Rod R early in the season. But by Singapore (Round 14), owace's big spending early caught up to him and a lack of available driver picks allowed the competition to catch up. His early strategy, and careful use of mid-pack drivers late in the season, did in fact beat everyone but one, netting 985 points, and earning him 2nd place cash in his first ever Fantasy F1 season.

Placing 3rd this year is sperry. Like Motoring, sperry played the slow and steady strategy, but his picks just weren't quite as good as Motoring's. With only a single round win in Brazil, and the inability to use his drop strategically after an 8 point result in Canada (Round 7), sperry couldn't catch owace's huge early points, or Motoring's uncanny ability to avoid wasting big name drivers on DNFs. But sperry was able to gather 975 points and pick the most race winners (14 times) on his way to 3rd overall.

Other notable performances this season came from Matt and curley who both broke the 900 point barrier allowing them to finish 4th and 5th respectively. In the 6th through 8th overall positions are Rod R, Tahoe RX7, and Double Phister who were all round winners this year, but simply ran out of driver picks late in the season.

Based on the payout schedule of 50%/30%/20% and 14 participants, Motoring wins $140, owace wins $84, and sperry wins $56. The awards will be sent out shortly to the PayPal addresses used during registration.

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic fantasy season. The silly season begins now, and next year will be here before you know it! Please come back and play again in 2012!

by Motoring at 8:33 am, Dec 9 Thank you!

Thanks to sperry for keeping our site up and running.

by owace at 4:45 pm, Nov 27 congrats!! am i invited to dinner?

by Matt at 10:07 am, Nov 27 Wooohoo! Motoring is buying dinner tonight! Nice work

by owace at 9:48 am, Nov 18 Im still baffled behind motoring's pick strategy and how it's worked out so well for her. Given the pick situation I really don't have much of a chance of regaining 1st place.

by sperry at 12:22 pm, Nov 14 Wow, what a race... Vettel's puncture may have just opened the door for owace, because Motoring would have sealed the deal for 1st had Vettel won.

by owace at 4:54 pm, Nov 13 I do believe you have passed me for first place.

by Motoring at 12:52 pm, Nov 13 Nooooooooooo!!!!!

by sperry at 11:16 am, Oct 31 Yeah, it seems like Tilke isn't creating the same old boring circuits. Certainly the basic layout is very "standard", but the elevation adds a lot to it.

by Matt at 7:21 pm, Oct 28 The India circuit looks like a lot of fun, I didn't expect so much variety in elevation.

by Matt at 8:55 am, Oct 18 Yeah, I don't see any way Alonso and Hamilton could team up again, I was thinking Hamilton to Red Bull Opposite Vettel, but Webber just re-upped his contract too. Hamilton is clearly not happy at McLaren for whatever reason.
