UPDATES AND NEWS November 27, 2011 - And that brings the season to a close. Congratulations once again to Sebastian Vettel on his F1 championship win. Some would say that Vettel's 'gearbox troubles' were simply a way for Mark Webber to get to third place in the championship, and team orders are allowed again in F1. Either way, it's been a great year for Red Bull. This also brings us to the end of the 2011 Fantasy League. Congratulations to RASJAS Racing who dominated this season. They were in the top 8 all year, had 1st place after race 5, then dropped back. Along comes race 13 and RASJAS Racing stayed in first place all the way to the finish. It's been great fun watching the Formula 1 championship this year, and a real pleasure bringing Mitch & Brooke's Fantasy Racing League to you once again. We really appreciate your participation and support. We'll be back again for the 2012 season. Check your e-mail next spring when we announce the League is open again for sign-ups. Have a great off season! Mitch & Brooke November 13, 2011 - Lewis Hamilton seems to be gaining some traction. Congratulations to him on his win this week. No one had a perfect score of 618 this week, but the top finishers were Coaster with 603, Flying Goats with 602 and Mojo 420 at 593. The biggest jump was Flying Goats, up 22 spots. With only one race left in the season it's getting down to the wire for players in the league. Take a look at the top of the standings page. Spin2Win and Uncle Al's are tied for second place overall. They've have had different teams for the whole year and have both used one trade. The last race will really be the decider for this battle. Will one of them take a chance and make another trade, knowing that it costs 20 points? Just about the exact same thing is happening in 6th place between LIMFEVERF1 and Sweetpeeps Racing. There's a similar situation in 16th place. Now, in 46th place there is a 3-way tie. Two of the players have had the same team all along, but along comes Malcolm Elston and joins them just this week. Don't miss the conclusion of the F1 season and the final scores in Mitch & Brooke's Fantasy Racing League! October 30, 2011 - Vettel ran out in front and made himself a cushion that he held on to for the entire race. There was a 3-way tie for first place this week. Poor Motorsport Team (PMT), Lotta Bull and Roman Racing all scored 651 out of a possible 666 points. The biggest jump was Nuters Nobbles, up 20 spots. October 16, 2011 - The second F1 race in Korea had lots of groups throughout the field fighting for spots. It was fun to watch the trains go by. The top scorer this week was TMRacing with 609 out of a possible 649 points. Next up was Players99 with 578 and Sparks with 573. The biggest jump up the leaderboard this week was MiniBoo, up 21 spots to 34th overall. October 11, 2011 - The scores are correct, but they were misreported in the previous update. In fact, 2 teams did have perfect scores of 633 points this week. They were Eastbourne Boys and MikeYESfan Racing. Sorry for the error! October 10, 2011 - Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel who made a remarkable charge to victory in the 2011 F1 Championship! This week, five teams tied for best score of 613 out of a possible 633 points. They were Poor Motorsport Team (PMT), MikeYESfan Racing, Duracell Bunny, Lotta Bull and Eastbourne Boys. MikeYESfan Racing used the points to win the biggest jump honours this week, up 19 spots to 41st overall. September 26, 2011 - The championship is still not decided. And now we go to Japan... There were 667 points available this week, but once again no one had the perfect team. The top scorer was Arthur with 626. Congrats, Arthur! Next was Venom Racing with 616 followed by TMRacing and V8 Interceptors with 605 points. Venom Racing used the points to get the biggest jump, up 27 spots to 43rd. September 11, 2011 - It was great to see battles with five F1 champions all up front this week. Not often do we get to see these drivers in one place at one time. No player got the full 649 points this week. The closest we
had was TMRacing with 603. Right behind was MRT with 593, then August 28, 2011 - Welcome back after the long mid-summer break! It's great to see everyone back on the track again and it was a fabulous race to watch! No one got a perfect score this week. The top players were N.E.R.D. Racing with 563 out of a possible 578 points. Just behind was Arthur with 543 and then came Mojo and West Coaster with 538. The biggest jump this week goes to GoF1Racing, up 23 spots to 38th overall. We're playing around with some statistics and have made some charts available. They are not yet properly formatted, but go and have a look: Charts July 31, 2011 - Another race with changeable surfaces and lots of pit stops. Plus how often do you get to see an F1 car blow up like Heidfeld's? Once again this week no one got a perfect score. Venom
Racing got 671 out of a possible 718 points, while MiniBoo scored 650 The teams are off for a few weeks, so we'll get to enjoy some time of as well. July 24, 2011 - No one got a perfect score this week. In fact, the scores were a bit all over the place. Bubba Racing had the best score with 656 points out of a possible 661. Next was Squiggers with 641 and third was JAG with 635. Bubba Racing also used those points to get the biggest jump this week, up 15 spots. July 11, 2011 - So many things going on in the race. Pit stop wins and fails. Rain on only half the course, leading to tire strategies. Other racing strategies. Team orders. Incredibly close finishes around the last corner. What a race. Plus, being in the business, I have to say I love that cable camera that follows the cars around several corners. It was interesting in the Fantasy League, as well. I believe this is the first time that an entire group of drivers has tied scores. That means that whomever you picked in Group 1 was the best choice. With the maximum 622 points, tem players tied. They were Top Notch Racing, Spirit of Jaguar, Wosdt, Arachnid Racing, D.Armstrong, WACK, Just Guy 2, JDM, Sidemarkers, Team DNF & Thehammer. Spirit of Jaguar was the biggest mover this week, up 21 spots to 28th overall. June 26, 2011 - I can't remember ever having all the cars finish a race. We had no retirements this week. Skidmarks was the clostest to perfect this week with 623 out of a possible 633 points. All of these teams tied for second: Uncle Al's, Team LanxGp, Eastbourne Girls, MiniBoo, Team Frogspawn, Action Index & LFC. The biggest jump this week was Team Frogspawn, up 13 spots. June 16, 2011 - Apologies for the late updates this week. Scheduling conflicts meant that I haven't seen the race or had time to work out the scoring until now. There was a 4-way tie for best score this week. LIMFEVERF1, Poor Motorsport Team (PMT), The Banker and Team Magoo all scored 697 out of a possible 738 points. The biggest gain was Gof1racing, up 42 spots to 18th! May 29, 2011 - We sure saw a lot of passing in the hairpin today... It looked like a nail-biter towards the end of the race, but the red flag stretched the leaders out a bit. The top possible score this week was 819 points, but no one even came close. The best players were Suzukablues2000 with 784, N.E.R.D. Racing with 781 and ZERO Racing scoring 766 points. Suzukablues2000 used the points to get the biggest jump this week, up 47 spots to 29th spot overall. May 22, 2011 - A very close finish in Spain today. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel on his fourth win of the season, just edging out Lewis Hamilton. This was a high-scoring week in the Fantasy League. There were 737 available points and two players had the perfect teams: Spirit of Jaguar and AbafusGP. 11 players were next with 732 points. Two teams tied for biggest jump: Two Wheelers and WACK both jumped up 18 spots on the leaderboard. May 8, 2011 - We're seeing a lot more passing this year than in so many previous. All those attempts by F1 in the past to make this happen never really seemed to have the desired effect. This year, however, it is making a big difference. I don't know what the teams and drivers think about it, but it sure is more exciting for the fans. Eleven players had the perfect team this week, garnering them the full 642 available points. They were: Wosdt, Taff's team, Top Notch Racing, N8 Force, D.Armstrong, WACK, Team Turtle, Just Guy 2, Team Juniors, Thehammer, and I Pwn N00bs. Three players shared the biggest jump this week, up 20 spots. They were Team Juniors, Team Turtle and Just Guy 2. April 17, 2011 - Things are heating up on the track, and tire strategy is still playing in to the race results. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on his win this week in China. In the Fantasy League, there were 14 people with the perfect team, each scoring 651 points. They were RASJAS Racing, Spin2Win, Islandstream Racing, Sweetpeeps Racing, SnaptooRC , Kid Dynamite, yermn, McGills Raiders, Brooke Jacobs, Schezzer Garage, The Banker, White Rabbit Racing, Rear View Mirror Racing and Nuters Nobbles. The biggest jump this week goes to Brooke Jacobs, up 37 spots to 44th overall. April 10, 2011 - The result of tires that degrade so quickly is that a lot more attention needs to be paid to pit stop strategy. Also, I don't think the cars are supposed to be that far off the ground. Two players had the perfect mix of drivers this week and they were Team Rallyman and A2 with a maximum 701 points. The next best teams were DCB Automotive and Saaboteur, each scoring 681 points. The biggest jump this week was Mojo 420 with a whopping 76 position jump, up to 22nd. March 27, 2011 - And, they're off! It's great to be back in F1 season again. The downtime just creates so much anticipation, with the new rules, rookies and so many other unknowns. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel in his well-played bid to defend his world championship. It sure was interesting to see how everything played out on the track in a real race situation. We're happy to have so many veteran players in the Fantasy League, as well as some newcomers. Uncle Al's was the only player with a perfect team, scoring 695 points. Next up were Skidmarks with 656 and Team Frogspawn scoring 643. The season is young and there's a lot more work to be done. Don't forget that you can make changes to your driver roster throughout the season, but it will cost you 20 points. If you have a friend that might be interested in joining but has missed the first race you can let them know that it's not too late. We show average weekly scores as well as overall scores, so even if they may not be able to be competitive in the total points, they can still attempt to show you up in averages. And along those lines, remember that you can make your own personal standings page where you can see only the people you choose to compare yourself to listed. Go to the My League page and add their team name. March 12, 2011 - Welcome once again to Mitch & Brooke's Fantasy Racing League. The season is once again underway and the pages are now open for you to sign up and make your driver selections. Please remember that we purge our database after each season so if you played last year you will still need to sign up again as a new player this year. You are free to use the same team name. Good luck! Mitch & Brooke November 14, 2010 - Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel on becoming the youngest ever Formula One champion, six months younger that Lewis Hamilton. What an unbelievable finish in the Fantasy League! For the last two races, True-Course Racing was leading the league by 14 points, but also had the same drivers as seven other teams. Before this week's race, True-Course Racing traded Sutil for Kobayashi. The trade cost 20 points to process, and Kobayashi received 5 points less that Sutil in the race, making a total loss of 25 points. That put True-Course Racing down by 11 points on the leaderboard at the end of the season. It also means that we have, for the first time in our 13 seasons, a tie for first place. Not just any tie — a 7-way tie! The winners are: 420 Racing All of whom scored 9582 points and never made a trade all season. True-Course Racing had a better average score per race, but the cost of the trades was just enough to drop the overall score. We sincerely hope you enjoyed Mitch & Brooke's Fantasy Racing League this year. We'll be back again next season, with new drivers and groups. Please drop us a line and let us know what we can do to improve or just to say hi! We'll e-mail you when the next season approaches so you can play again or you can e-mail us and put your name on the notification list. Have a great off season, Mitch & Brooke November 9, 2010 - Congratulations to Red Bull Racing on their first Constructors Championship! After only six seasons, they have come out on top. Now, the Drivers Championship comes down to one final race in Abu Dhabi next weekend. In the Fantasy League, Team Mano was the only one to score a perfect 657 points. Right behind was Team Magoo with 652, and there was a 9-way tie for third! Coaster, T&S Motorsports, Team Sweetpeeps, Schezzer Garage, Hunter Racing, LIMFEVERF1, dmh, Jordan F1 RIP, and RACING ROMANS all scored 647. The average score this week was very high, at 574, which I will assume means that the drivers who were expected to perform well, did. Three teams tied for the biggest jump up the leaderboard this week. White Rabbit Racing, LIMFEVERF1 and woodpecker all jumped up 12 spots overall. Interestingly, they are all together in the pack, with only nine points separating them. October 24, 2010 - Well, by all accounts it was quite a race. Of course, also, my PVR didn't account for enough extra time at the end to catch all of the race. I usually give it 30 minutes extra, but that serves me right for being stingy with hard drive space. Rubber's Raiders had the best team this week, scoring 565 out of a possible 575 points. Just behind was Kate's Sexy Cousin with 555 and SnaptooRC scored 525 points. The biggest mover this week were Motorhead and Wroomer, up 20 spots overall. October 10, 2010 - There were extremely low scores overall this week. Demacher was on top this week with 466 out of a possible 527 points. HomeAgainBoo was next with 461 and Kid Dynamite scored 436. Most teams were well below 400 points. The biggest jump this week was Woodpecker, up 20 spots to 29th overall. With only 3 races left in the season, it'll be interesting to see the action at the top of the Fantasy leaderboard. Only 27 points separate the top four teams, with another 10 teams within 40 of that. Eight of those teams are tied and seven have the same roster of drivers. Remembering that it costs 20 points to make a trade, who will step out on a limb to try to take a last-minute victory? Who will take the chance versus settling for sharing the same team as so many others? Time will tell! September 30, 2010 - Apologies for the late update of the web site. A huge list of people had the perfect team for 610 points this week: True-Course Racing, 420 Racing, Tommy T Racing, RED Dog Racing, Canuck27, Anthony Hamiltons, elph Technologies, Team Lapsung, Richard Cranium, StrongTrucking, Crash & Burn, and MikeYESfan Racing. The biggest jump was Varila Champions, using this week's 604 points to jump up 16 spots to 21st overall. September 12, 2010 - The championship battle seems to be heading right to the end of the season. Thehammer scored the most points this week with 550 out of a possible 570. Right behind were Wroomer and Platon Racing with 545. Richard Cranium jumped up 17 spots overall to land in 22nd place. August 29, 2010 - It seemed like an awfully long break for us. We're glad to be watching F1 again! Many of the top contenders in the race failed to perform as expected. That resulted in some interesting scores in the Fantasy League this week. Team Webber and SPA_LEADER_2 both scored a perfect 535 points. Behind them were Players99 and Boltonian who both scored 509. The biggest jump this week was a tie between Team Webber and Reactorob. They both jumped up 18 spots overall. August 1, 2010 - The top scores in the League this week were underwhelming. I guess that means that some dark horse drivers did the best in their respective groups. Check the results page for the group breakdown. Losers was top this week with 570 out of a possible 673 points. Just behind were Two Wheelers with 569 and durko scoring 567. The biggest jump this week goes to FnF3, up 25 spots to 32nd overall. July 25, 2010 - Ferrari has been fined US$100,000 by the FIA for breaking the team orders regulations. Is this another black mark on the team? Durko had the only perfect team this week, scoring 622 points. Next was elph-GmbH with 612, and dmh and Jordan F1 RIP tied for third with 607 points. Jordan F1 RIP had the biggest jump this week, up 14 spots overall. July 12, 2010 - We're half way through the season and Lewis Hamilton has a nice, but not insurmountable lead. In the Fantasy League, the top scorers were Claire Jacobs with 493 out of a possible 509, and Canarylotus & Ton80Racing were tied for second with 484 points. The biggest jump this week goes to LIMFEVERF1, using 462 points to jump up 17 spots. June 27, 2010 - It seems that there were quite a few drivers who went a little too fast behind the safety car and had time added to their races. There was an 8-way tie this week for best score. Yinan-McLaren-Mercedes, Abafusgp, Team Frogspawn, WACK, Aldern Racing, Reactorob, Team MoneytalksF1 and BrigBhoy Racers all scored a perfect 590 points. Reactorob used that score to get the biggest jump, up 24 spots to 27th overall. June 21, 2010 - I've made a mistake and a kind player pointed me in the right direction. There was not a 7-way tie last week; SnaptooRC took the whole lot by scoring 628 points. The rest of the six were tied for second place. June 13, 2010 - Twice in a row: Hamilton/Button. Interesting. There was a 7-way tie for best score this week. Top Notch Racing, Team LanxGP, Mitch Lackie, Brooke Jacobs, SnaptooRC, Teamthomasracing and binarysunset.co.uk all scored 623 out of a possible 633 points. Team Mano had the biggest jump, up 22 spots to 16th place overall. May 30, 2010 - A McLaren-Mercedes one-two finish this week locked Red Bull out of the top 2 podium spots.

Mitch Lackie, The Banker and SPA_LEADER_2 all were right behind with 549. Team Webber had the biggest jump this week, up 32 spots to 11th overall. May 16, 2010 - More than normal overtaking on the streets of Monaco today, thanks to Fernando Alonso starting from the back. It was an interesting race, with some unusual suspects DNF'ing. Two teams had the perfect drivers picked this week: Yinan-McLaren-Mercedes and Team Spiegel both scored 705 points. Next best was a four-way tie between Abafusgp, Team Frogspawn, WACK and Aldern Racing with 670. Team Frogspawn used the points to get the biggest jump, up 39 spots to 6th overall. May 9, 2010 - Yinan-McLaren-Mercedes was the only team to score the perfect 629 points this week. Team Webber was next with 614 while five others scored 609: True-Course Racing, Lotus F1, Saaboteur, Varila Champions and THE DARK SIDE. T&S Motorsports and Team Turtle both got 603 points and had the biggest jump, moving up 31 spots on the leaderboard to 4th and 5th respectively.
