With the 2009 F1 season only 30-days away, I decided to up the stakes and create the Official Team Speed F1 Fantasy Racing league! Here is how to join.

We will be using a site called Fantasy Racers. 100% free to play.

1. Go to Fantasy Racers : F1 Competition.

2. Register with the site and submit an entry in the main competition.

3. The name you registered will now appear in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar.

3. Click on your name and scroll down and hit the "Join Private League" link.

4. The Team Speed league information is:

League Name: Team Speed
League Number: 106
League Password: teamspeed

It's that simple! Send me a PM if you have any questions or have trouble joining the league.

It is possible to donate money to the site and gain more than one team. As a rule, let's limit it to one team per person.

The league rules are simple and can be found on the Fantasy Racers site. In a nutshell, you are given a ficticious budget of 40 million [enter whatever currency you like here but I am going to use dollars] to spend each race. You must spend this money on drivers to fill your roster. The better and more popular drivers cost more than the less successful drivers. A driver's dollar value can - and most certainly will - change from race to race depending on his performance. Once you have set your roster, points are scored based on the following:

1. Pole position.
2. Laps completed.
3. Fastest lap.
4. Final race positions.
5. Any unspent dollars.

The team with the most points at the end of the race wins! There are weekly winners and an overall season winner. A complete list of the rules can be found on the Fantasy Racers site. It couldn't be easier.

I will personally buy the overall season winner an official F1 hat featuring the team of your choice and a trophy that you can proudly display.

And if I win - which I fully intend to do - you know what team I am picking!

Let's get as many teams as possible. The more teams we get the more fun it will be.

Once again, feel free to contact me with any questions.

Don't be left behind when the lights go out!

 

I have just joined and I can't wait and in addition to Dana's generous offer I'll also buy the overall season winner a TS hat

 

Eat food < Register for fantasy F1!

Edit: You forgot to add no.2. (Addyour own team).

 

Get ready for Total Domination!!!!

 

Just curious... did anyone donate to get an extra spot on their roster?

 

I did not and I will not.

 

I may donate at the end of the season if they perform as promised, but I have not done so yet.

As a rule, let's keep it to one team per player for now.

Thanks for signing up guys!! This is going to be a lot of fun.

 

Nice, I'm definitely in.

 

Yes now I have this and the NASCAR one. This will be a great year of racing...

 

2 hats?! Oh man, I really need to win!
