The latter.

I wanted to call it "Bishop William Van Mildert Racing Team", but apparently that was too many characters...

First race is over and accounted for. Congratulations to Kimster Racing, which won the race, followed by Schlesser of Two Evils Racing, and Mega-Aguri and TWNSNBM GP tied at third place.
By the way, the owner of Kimster Racing is damn lucky. His three drivers just happen to be the same three ppl that went to the podium

Reject of the race was Taku 2: Electric Boogaloo

See ya next race.

I had Alonso in my team until Friday, when I decided his sideburns were not cool, and changed him for Webber. Hence the result - oh dear.

I notice our league hasn't even made the top 50 personal league yet. Whatever, we can still be the rejects of Fantasy Racers.

Don't worry about it. According to my calculations, our league is 100 points away from the 50th. They'll only show the full ranking after the season is over. Last year, there were 224 leagues.
And it's only the first race. Panda Racing (Sidepodcast) always wins on the leagues, but they're 12th after the first race, so...

I'm Fantasy Reject of the Race with a glorious 129 points - hurrah for unreliable rookies

Noooo! Damn you de la Rosa and your relative competence!

Henrique · Post by **Henrique** » 28 Mar 2010, 12:41

Australia is over. First place goes to rozlansuhaila, which took the lead.
Second place is shared by Triple 888 and Blastcorp F1, a late starter.
Third place belongs to Coloni's Crusaders.

Fantasy Reject of the race was LCM Barato.

Ducktanian · Post by **Ducktanian** » 28 Mar 2010, 14:50

Wow, I was not expecting Second place.
Er... Go me I guess. =D

[I wonder if I can get a "Fastest of the late-starters" award =P]

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 04 Apr 2010, 18:52

For reasons I fail to comprehend, I have scored highest this round, and shot to second place in the leaderboard. I hang my head in shame!

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 04 Apr 2010, 21:18

for reasons i can comprehend, i'm yet again average

Popi_Larrauri · Post by **Popi_Larrauri** » 05 Apr 2010, 23:03

Jumped from 29th to 18th. Avoided a DNPQ by a small margin.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 06 Apr 2010, 00:39

Darn you Webber and Sutil! We would have been the "best" team this race if it wasn't for you two having good races! Petrov DNF'd and I had Alonso, and that speaks for itself.

Popi_Larrauri · Post by **Popi_Larrauri** » 20 Apr 2010, 22:42

In some unexplainable fashion, I'm getting competitive in this game. Jumped from 18th to 10th (and from 29th at Australia since the page eated a driver entry (for free at least)).

How are you faring? I can't associate your teams to forum avatars in some cases.

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 20 Apr 2010, 22:54

Despite not changing my driver line-up, I am doing rather well: second in the F1Rejects league! :lol:

Would be in front if it weren't for my last-minute decision to ditch Alonso for Webber and keep the change.

So far only Hulkenberg is rather letting the side down.

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 20 Apr 2010, 22:57

my scores are getting slightly better too since i'm starting not to change my driver line-up too often.

Post by **Nuppiz** » 20 Apr 2010, 23:30

32nd.

Damn Ferraris being all shite lately.

Alianora La Canta · Post by **Alianora La Canta** » 21 Apr 2010, 21:27

If LCM Barato's going to be so rubbish, I might as well be Reject of the Race. Unfortunately one of the teams below me has the Mercedes drivers and only the Mercedes drivers...

I almost went for Hulkenberg in the pre-season. Instead I went for the other Williams of Barrichello.
The only changes in the first 4 races I did was replacing Kobayashi for Buemi post Australia and replacing Barrichello for Sutil post China.

Henrique · Post by **Henrique** » 16 May 2010, 14:03

I have Alonso on my team. Oh snap

thalion · Post by **thalion** » 27 Jun 2010, 18:21

I dropped Kobayashi for the first time this season--would have done it a long time ago had I known that was all it took for him to get a good result!

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 27 Jun 2010, 21:54

Vettel's result, plus Webber's, Rosberg's and Hulkenberg's shocking weekends dropped me back to second. Shame.

Bad luck, a lot of points dropped there.

My season is hitting stride now after a poor start, I'm up to 6th

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 28 Jun 2010, 22:12

i'm having a very toyota-esque season

Locked in strategy 2 (lazy, you see?), so I kind of need Vettel to miss some GPs and the Nicos to come back on song.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 30 Jun 2010, 06:12

I'm just lurching from race to race with no inherant pattern whatsoever :lol:

That might be partially because I've made so many changes as you are about to see:
Pre-Bahrain:
4. N. Rosberg
9. R. Barrichello
11. R. Kubica
23. K. Kobayashi

Team as of right now:
2. J. Button
11. R. Kubica
14. A. Sutil
17. J. Alguersuari

Post by **tommykl** » 30 Jun 2010, 08:18

And statistically, reject of the race is...........TEAM LYNX (a.k.a. Waris)

Post by **tommykl** » 14 Jul 2010, 18:40

For the British Grand Prix, F1 Rejects Fantasy F1 Racing League Reject of the Race is...Waris (again), with 224 points, choosing the drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello!

ROTY will go (if data is available) to the team which will have the lowest points average (points divided by races entered) over the whole season.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 16 Jul 2010, 04:04

Doing quite well for being on Strategy 1 and not changing anything for at least 3 months. Now switched Petrov for Sutil, wished I'd done that earlier. My new team is
1. Hamilton
2. Webber
3. Sutil
4. Kobayashi

If anyone wants to know, the F1 Rejects league is a very average 231st in the standings (after about 10 minutes of browsing).

CarlosFerreira · Post by **CarlosFerreira** » 16 Jul 2010, 10:01

Still locked in strategy 2, with Webber, Rosberg, Hamilton and Hulkenberg. After this round I'm in front of razta again... by 5 points! It's incredibly close! :mrgreen:

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 02 Aug 2010, 08:54

I think it's safe to say ROTR for Hungary will be a joint award between Me and Nuppiz for scoring 173 and 172 points respectively
