by indoct discant at 7:50 am, Jun 25 ah well 50% of my picks didnt make it.
the other 50%.. well maybe they will outperform?

by sperry at 11:06 am, Jun 16 Hamilton's reasons to love Montreal keep piling up. The place where he got his first pole and win is now also the place where he matched Senna's record for poles, on his way to a 6th victory in Canada.

In the fantasy results, Lisa nabs the top spot, moving her up 3 positions into 2nd overall. subasurf ties Lisa's 64 points, and moves up 4 spots to 3rd overall. Jody Schecker rounds out the podium with 63 points. Nick retains his overall championship lead with a 4th place finish in Canada.

The F1 championships keep heating up between Ferrari and Mercedes, Vettel and Hamilton... they take their rivalry to Azerbaijan next!

by subasurf at 12:41 pm, Jun 11 Perez....what a bloody flog.

by indoct discant at 11:08 am, Jun 11 I wonder what my record is of having 2 of my picks taking each other out.
Rai : Ver
Per : Kyv
Sai : Mas

by sperry at 11:16 pm, May 18 The Hamilton/Vettel rivalry heats up with a battle in Spain. Hamilton takes the round, closing the championship gap to leader Vettel.

Taking the top fantasy spot this round is Daniel, just one point in front of Monty. F1 Deede rounds out the podium. Both Daniel and F1 Deede move up 5 positions for their effort. Monty remains in 2nd overall behind leader Nick and ahead of Lisa who slots into 3rd place with the 58 points earned in Spain.

The spectacle that is Monaco is next! Button returns for just this single race, as Alonso will compete in the Indy 500 this year.

by Jody Scheckter at 9:23 pm, May 14 Could you not have a preliminary result automated after 6 hours, and have it re-run after 24?

edited by sperry at 7:35 pm, May 13 @Jody, 24 hours was simply the easiest to code.

I can probably shorten it up. The only issue is if there are changes I'd have to be aware of them... manually updating the results is easy, noticing something is off is not always obvious.

by subasurf at 4:04 am, May 13 Alternatively, I'm on the opposite side of the planet than most of you guys and my time zone means I never ever miss a race. Happy to compile top 10 results-points for you after races when you're busy sperry

by Jody Scheckter at 11:07 pm, May 12 @sperry - any chance you can adjust the automatic results posting so it happens sooner? Like 6 hours after the start of the race instead of, what, 24 hours? It just seems that if there are any issues and you have to change the results you could do so manually. And how likely is that anyway? Waiting a whole day just seems like forever!

by sperry at 9:49 am, May 12 BUT is now on the driver's roster for those of you thinking about picking him in Monaco!

by sperry at 10:27 am, May 8 Botas wins his first GP in front of many Finish fans in Russia, but Ferrari rounds out the podium in 2nd and 3rd as Hamilton slips to 4th this round.

With a drop now being applied to the results, the standings may appear a bit rearranged. Nabbing top points in the fantasy round, Nick scores 82, just ahead of Monty's 80 points in 2nd. With a points tie at the top of the championship, Monty takes the overall lead on pick quality. Lisa takes 3rd this round, and 4th overall.

We head back to a traditional venue next, racing in Catalunya, Spain! Can Ferrari switch back to the top step, or will Hamilton figure out his Russia issues and get back to his winning ways first?

by sperry at 1:09 pm, Apr 18 Vettel responds to Hamilton's win in China by winning in Bahrain. Ferrari now leads the drivers' championship, while Mercedes leads the constructors'.

Daniel takes 84 points in Bahrain, leading the round. F1 Deede and Monty tie for 2nd with identical picks worth 80 points. In 4th, Nick scores enough to move into the overall lead. curley rounds out the top 5, moving up to 5th overall.

Off to Russia in a few weeks at the Sochi track in the Olympic village!

by subasurf at 7:33 am, Apr 12 So Alonso missing the Monaco GP...will have to keep an eye out for who replaces him. Button is under contract as their reserve.

by sperry at 1:01 am, Apr 12 Round 2 shows us that Hamilton is still capable of his old "run away from the pack" game plan, winning in China handily.

With a second win, paramoric extends the fantasy championship lead pulling down 78 points, just ahead of Nick and Lisa. Lisa and indocti discant both leap up the standings by 7 places with their Round 2 results.

Bahrain is this weekend! Try to make your picks ASAP, just in case the server goes down again!

edited by sperry at 1:01 am, Apr 12 We're back! Had to restore the site from a backup, which is why everyone probably got a second email about Round 2 being complete.

Hope no one was too worried... I sure was.

by Jody Scheckter at 12:12 am, Apr 8 Here's a fun thread with a lot of great videos to literally rev you up for the race: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments...

by Jody Scheckter at 12:59 pm, Mar 30 @delongedoug - well that simply means there's only one way to go from here: up!

by delongedoug at 9:27 am, Mar 30 Ugh top 5 qualifiers finished top 5 in the race. So much for using the "variable" first race of the season for a drop...

by sperry at 11:09 am, Mar 28 I posted a bug report to the guy that runs the feed. He's already changed VES->VER. We should be all set for the remainder of the season!

by Jody Scheckter at 11:58 pm, Mar 27 @sperry - you could always code in an exception that converts VES to VER. ;^)

by subasurf at 9:48 pm, Mar 27 Let me know if you want a hand putting together results. I watch all races live, so happy to help.

by sperry at 9:43 pm, Mar 27 And we're off! Round 1, 2017 is in the books, with a surprise win by Vettel and Ferrari over the expected dominance of Mercedes! The new cars look amazing, and there just may be a little parity at the front this season.

Grabbing the round win is paramoric with 82 points (just shy of the new 88 point perfect round), followed by 4 folks all scoring 80 points. There's a long way to go, with 19 more rounds and 2 drops yet to factor in. China is up next in 2 weeks!

by sperry at 9:18 pm, Mar 27 Super-duper.

I checked our logs... the feed our site pulls results from still reports Verstappen as "VES", which is why we didn't automatically get the results... we refuse to update if a driver acronym is wrong, just to prevent my own manual entry typos.

Looks like it's manual updates until they fix their reporting!

by sperry at 9:54 am, Mar 27 @Jody, they're supposed to be! Should have run at 11:00 last night, 24 hours after the race. I'll have to look into it.

by Jody Scheckter at 10:40 pm, Mar 26 Are results still automated?

by indoct discant at 11:39 pm, Mar 25 goddamn Haas...

by indoct discant at 8:34 pm, Mar 25 herp derp I mispelled my username.

by sperry at 9:31 pm, Mar 24 Gimme a second, I'll go update the driver list!

edited by subasurf at 7:43 pm, Mar 24 Sperry, just heard a rumour that Pascal W wont be racing this weekend. I think giovinazzi will take his spot. Might need to quickly change the driver list before qually.

edit: rumour confirmed hah

by subasurf at 5:04 pm, Mar 23 back on the wagon

by sperry at 7:54 pm, Mar 22 No problem Joe! Glad you signed up for the season!

by setofwarninters at 8:27 am, Mar 21 Thanks for getting this set up this year!!!! Should be another great season. This year I'm going to actually read the rules. LOL

by Jody Scheckter at 12:59 pm, Mar 19 Ha! Probably for the best anyway.

by sperry at 3:36 am, Mar 19 Well, after figuring out this whole certs thing in apache/ubuntu, now it ONLY works in HTTPS. Take that HTTP redirect!

by Jody Scheckter at 5:23 pm, Mar 17 BTW, the site doesn't appear to work on HTTPS.

by Jody Scheckter at 11:40 pm, Mar 16 Nice to see things set for a new season. I'm looking forward to making one or two more steps up the standings.

by sperry at 11:11 pm, Mar 16 Sorry for the long delay setting up the 2017 season... I had a little "oops" upgrading the server OS. Seems like some of the older software we run doesn't like new versions of PHP out of the box!

But all that's fixed and the season should be all set, aside from some stale images. Please let me know if anyone sees anything wrong, like event dates/times or drivers.

edited by sperry at 3:12 am, Mar 16 Welcome back everyone! This year, we're mixing it up a little bit with the rules, just like the pros are with the new car regulations:

We'll be bumping up the per-season cap of 7 picks per-driver to 9.

However, we're also going to expand the number of picks per-round to 6!

So, that's one more opportunity each race to make points by picking 6 drivers for each race, and a few more total available picks on tap by allowing each driver to be picked up to 9 times this year. Two drops remain for this season, so keep that in mind when it comes to driver saving strategy.

For more info on the rules, see the FAQ.

Let's hope the new rules and the faster cars this season will be great fun. Good luck!
