Tony Clark Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Worst result of the season for Essex Racing... things can only get better! Zero predictions coming in and potential points lost before the race had really started... at this rate some team members are looking for seat at next years Indy 500 Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Posted by iqon on 12/06/2017 20:10:22: Manager sacked again , also only getting 1 prediction. How am I hanging on to 2nd Because predicting got much harder, so most score low as the norm, last year i had a few 50 scores this year it's 20 mostly. Racing's better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I was in Malta for the week and had no chance to see any FP or qualy. Had to make totally blind predictions....and it showed. Did better than expected though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So, picking up iqon's prompt... Don't forget your predictions! Looks like Red Bull could be the team to beat this weekend in Azerbaijan, judging by P1 and P2. Qualifying and the race both start at 2pm UK-time, and I believe there's terrestrial coverage on Ch.4 for the non-Sky folks. I'm off to do my predictions now.

John Privett Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Results time! And it looks like a fairly low-scoring round for our league members today - and indeed for fantasygp as a whole with a result that I think few would have predicted! Fantasgp overall high-score today was only 169. Here is how we scored in Azerbaijan; Results from Azerbaijan Pos Team Manager Pts 1 AnyoneSeenBernie johnpflyrc 112 2 VBT Racing Yorik 108 3 Bernies Big Brown Envelope serepton PRO 107 4 Team Webby Racing Simon Webb 102 5 Mannschaft Carl Brotherton 102 6 Team Charles Picd Charles Pic 99 7 iqon racing iqon racing 92 8 Revers Racing Pete B 89 9 Slopeflyers F1 jimbo32010 81 10 FalconFormulaOne Tony Hamer 77 11 Norfolk Flyers Kevin Fairgrieve 77 12 Pitts Specials john stones 72 13 teewrex John Tee 72 14 Flying Eagles Gary Goodfellow 60 15 Essex Racing Tony Clark 55 Up next, how has this affected the overall places?

Kev remains in 6th but Simon moves up a place to 7th and I move up 2 places to 8th with Tony H moving down 2 places to 9th. But there's only one point between 7th and 8th, and also between 8th and 9th! Down one place to 10th is Carl with Charles moving up 3 places to 11th. Jimbo's slopeflyers stay 12th but Tony C slips two places to 13th. GAry slips a place to 14th and John T remains 15th. Well nobody can deny today's race was somewhat 'eventful' - I wonder how many predicted the right number of safety cars! It was a shame to see Hamilton lose the race for a silly reason, and rather concerning to see Vettel's appalling reaction to his own mistake. I thought he'd matured somewhat in the last couple of seasons, but apparently not. Austria next in 2 weeks, with Silverstone just around the corner...

John Privett Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Right folks, it's now two weeks later, and time for the Austrian GP. So as usual, I will say this only once... Don't forget your predictions! And may I remind you of what the pole position prediction actuially means; From fantasygp ***Note: Pole Position is the driver who is officially classified as being on 1st place in the starting grid going by official FIA classification. If a driver has the fastest time on Saturday but has a penalty, they won’t be on Pole Position so Pole Position prediction points will be awarded to the driver who does eventually have Pole Position when the lights go out on Sunday. You might want to consider the implications of the above and the news of Hamilton's unauthorised gearbox change when deciding on your predictions!

My second place today takes me up to 7th with Tony following me up to 8th and Simon slipping down to 9th. Carl remains in 10th but Tony's Essex Racing move up from 13th to 11th, pushing Charles down a place to 12th and Jimbo's slopeflyers down to 13th. There's no change to 14th or 15th places.

John Tee Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 On the results page it says I got 73 points. Under all my predictions there are the scores for each prediction, race and qualifying, but they only total 63. Where did I gain the extra 10. Now going to keep a low profile to match my scores.

John Privett Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm sure we don't need reminding this week as we get ready for the British GP. But, just in case... Don't forget your predictions! It looks like Mercedes are the team to beat at Silverstone, and this weekend it's Bottas' turn to suffer a 5-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. So make your predictions bearing that in mind! Remember, the pole place prediction is for the driver who starts on pole on Sunday - not necessarily the one who recorded the fastest time in Q3...

Kev remains in 6th but Pete is pushed down two places to 7th. Eighth place sees no change but I drop two places to 9th. 10th and 11th are unchanged and Gary's Flying Eagles soar up from 14th to 12th. Charles and Jimbo slip a place each, to 13th and 14th respectively and John Tee remains in 15th. Next up is Hungary in two weeks time. I shall be in Vancouver during the week leading up to the race so I might not get a chance to remind you to do your predictions. That's no excuse though, I want all predictions done in plenty of time... Why not go and do them now? As for the race, I'll be on a ship heading to Alaska so goodness-knows how or when I'll get a chance to post the results! I'm sure I'll find a way though, even if I don't get to see the race which starts at 1pm UK-time (but 5am Vancouver time and 4am Alaska time!)
