Erfolg Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I could not work out what was being alleged in the newspapers. The Telegraph in particular seemed unusually obtuse. Where they saying that McIlroy received more votes and the BBC chose to ignore them? I was more concerned, perhaps more accurately unease, that there was a suggestion, I think in the Telegraph, that Lewis was worth twice as much to Mercedes in marketing terms than Nico, particularly in the North American market. Does it give substance to a complaint of having to conserve fuel and power setting, when my team mate never has the same problem? Then the problem of another UK born driver, who lost his seat, until he coughed up more money. I think we have all recognised that having lots of dosh was never a handicap in motor racing and in many ways compensated in many cases for not being the full package. This situation seems quite wide spread now, are the Schumachers, Buttons, Vettel and last but not least Lewis become ever more rare? With respect to the trophy, I guess the extra coverage can be turned into some money in the bank. yet i suspect it means very little, other than the BBC.

John Privett Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Right then you lot - pay attention! It's just over a month until the 2015 F1 season gets under way, so it's time to blow the dust off the Fantasy F1 game and get our entries sorted out. Head over to the Badger login page. You'll need to re-register on badger, but you can use the same username as you did last year if you want. Then get yourselves a team sorted out and join the Modelflying Forumites Friends league. You'll need to enter the code 428035 to join the league. Hopefully most of last year's entrants will enter again, all with one year's more experience and one year wiser (yeah, right... New entrants are of course more than welcome. For those who haven't played before, you have £75million to spend on three cars and three drivers, and you score points depending on how they perform in each race. For the regulars, there are a few small changes this year. Go to the Badger players guide page to read all about them, but they include points for qualifying positions and points for a driver out-qualifying his team-mate. You'll notice that Badger have introduced 'PRO' membership options this year at three different price levels. None of these are required to enter the Fantasy League - you can still play for free. I'll probably start a new thread in due course, but I've posted here as some of last year's folks probably have email alerts setup on this thread.

Erfolg Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can some one point me to how or where to find the friends league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 OK, so you've entered your team - I assume "Manschaft Erfolg" managed by Carl Brotherton is you? So now look at the menu on the left-hand side and Friends Leagues is the sixth item down. Alternatively click on this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It is done now. Strangeley, earlier the left hand side of the screen was covered by an advert. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iqon Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I`m only 34m short for having same team as last year......this is going to be harder than i thought to pick a winning team.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Don't forget, just like previous years, we have unlimited team changes for the first two races. Thereafter, 8 changes (without penalty) for the rest of the season. And each element changed counts as a change, even if you make the changes in one go. So, for instance, replacing one car and two drivers counts as 3 of your 8 changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
