Curley comes from behind to win the fantasy championship!

edited by sperry at 11:21 am, Nov 27 Vettel takes his 3rd championship in a row in a dramatic wet race in Brazil.

With a 56 point 2nd place finish in Brazil, curley moves from 2nd place to first for the fantasy championship win! curley's season began quietly, with missed picks in Round 2, leaving him to languish for most of the season in 6th place. But by careful driver management, he was able to avoid the points roller coaster felt by most in this crazy season, and save some good pick for the end of the season. Starting in Round 17, curley clambered up to the lead, averaging an incredible 61.25 points over the last four rounds to come from 7th place to the lead. This is curley's 2nd championship, and 3rd time in the money. Congratulations to our winner!

In similar fashion, Van sprints over the late rounds to sneak into 2nd overall. Winning the final round with 59 points, Van jumps up 3 places and into 2nd place money. Van spent most of the season bouncing around in the 10th-7th positions, but after a no-pick round in Japan, he steadily climbed from 9th, to 8th, to 7th, to 5th, and finally into 2nd place. Nice work Van, congratulations!

Rounding out the paying positions is Tahoe RX7. Tahoe RX7 had a slow start to the season, and a bumpy ride, with +4 and -3 position changes over the course of the year. But at the end when it counted, he finished as high as he'd ever been in 3rd, good enough to get paid! Congrats Tahoe RX7!

In a heart-breaker, RapidfireAZ drops from the lead to 4th in the final round. Having jumped out to an early lead, and holding that lead through 19 of 20 races, the points just dried up in the late rounds as his picks were exhausted. In the end it was a case of needing just one more big round, and no way to manufacture one. Nice job on a well fought season that was just a hair short of a winning one.

Rounding out the top 5 in the championship is owace. owace had a well picked season, but for a couple of just plain unlucky rounds, his end run at the lead could only peak at 2nd, and drops to 5th in the last 2 races. Another nice job, that just came up short in a very competitive season.

And with that, the 2012 season is complete. It's been a crazy one, with lots of different winners both on track and online, and our closest finish ever... with the top 10 all inside 100 points of the winner.

Based on the payout split of 50%/30%/20%, curley takes home $140, Van wins $84, and Tahoe RX7 pockets $56. Congratulations once again to our podium!

Thank you to all our competitors for an entertaining season. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did over this exciting year. Next year will be here before you know it, please join us in 2013 for what looks to be another crazy season!

by MattR at 2:13 pm, Nov 27 Wow, crazy shake up right at the end.

by MattR at 1:37 pm, Nov 22 I fell 4 spots. This is going to be the closest ff1 finish ever

by MattR at 7:41 pm, Nov 18 Great race! Great atmosphere! Us GP was awesome

by Van at 5:15 pm, Nov 18 Cowboy hats!

by Tahoe RX7 at 12:42 pm, Nov 5 I loved the part in the race when the Lotus team was advising Kimi and got the response "Yes, yes,yes, don't bother me, I know what I'm doing" Hilarious!!

by owace at 12:15 pm, Nov 5 thanks for making the change. Kinda shot myself in the foot, but gotta stick with the picks I wanted to go with.

by sperry at 11:52 am, Nov 5 owace, the local Time Zone for the Abu Dhabi race was indeed incorrect, triggering the go-live ahead of schedule. I've made your requested change of HUL for ALO.

In the future, if you guys notice the deadlines are off, please let me know ASAP! I'd like to correct them before they trigger, and I'm never watching things live.

by owace at 6:17 am, Nov 4 well lets see there. I think all of my picks save Raikkonen are out.

hahaha
