Fantasy F1 Changes

It's incredibly close at the top in our Fantasy F1 competition run by our friends over at BAR-Talk.com. However it's not all over for you yet if you're off the leaders...

If your team isn't performing too well, now is the time you can change it. You can now make any changes you like in your team within budget to close that gap to the leaders. Of course, if your team is performing to your satisfaction, you do not need to change anything.

There may be six races left to watch your changes make the difference, but you only have two weeks to make those changes. All changes must be made before qualifying for the Turkish GP on the 20th August. Deadline times are on the Fantasy F1 site.

The premise is simple, even if the workings are a little more complicated. You can choose to sell any part of your team, and you'll sell them at the price you paid earlier in the season. You can then buy a replacement part, at the current price.

So, to use the BAR-Talk.com team as an example, you could sell Button and Sato, getting $28m in the process. If you're then feeling confident, you could replace them with any two drivers up to the value of $28m, such as Raikkonen ($20m) and Monteiro ($8m).

The same can be done with chassis, engine and tyres. The full prices are listed above the entry form, and there's a handy calculator built in to the page, too.

If you have forgotten your team details, there is a contact email address on the site for you to send your team name to the admins, and they will get back to you with the details you need.

If you need any other help, there's a message board thread ready for use over at BAR-Talk.com

 

To modify your team or find the email address you need, visit our Fantasy F1 site, and click Modify or for some it may still appear as Enter on the main menu.
