Fantasy Formula 1
March 4, 2010 4:15 pmFor those of you who are interested in Formula 1 – come and join me at Reality F1, a fantasy F1 league game. It does look pretty fun: you “buy” a bunch of cars and “hire” a bunch of drivers and get points depending on how well they did on the races during this 2010 season. I have opened a mini league just for readers of this blog – it’s unsurprisingly called “lostfocus league” and the password to join is wroomwroom.
I also started a league for my co-workers – if you’re one of them, ping me for the URL and password.
