Crazy to think Magnussen didn’t have a seat until the Russia stuff kicked off.

 

If you go back a further 12mths, he lost his seat because of Russians...

 

Hasn't been in a F1 car for a long time too, just simulators.

 

I went for Norris and Mclaren...

Leclerc and Sainz saved me a bit. Apparently it helps if you actually pick a turbo driver though.

 

Horse racing.

I just don't get why its so popular. It seems to be primarily a tool/product of the betting industry rather than being there for the sport to me.

I think its even more dull than golf and that's saying something.

 

Possibly the millinery industry a bit as well.

But yeah. Watching horse racing for the sport seems a bit like reading Playboy for the articles.

 

Any sport on earth can be exciting if you're invested in the teams and have a favourite to win.
If you don't care who wins most sports are dull.

 

horse racing is a live sport.

I don't particular like it either.

IMO its a rich mans plaything with a serious tote business and the industry is mostly for very very rich people to measure their dicks.

The advent of the bookies and now online means is now not a live sport at all but just a never ending cycle of means to scalp poor idiots of everything they have.

 

i dread to think how many points the RB debacle cost me .

 

Suspect I'd have been top if Max hadn't broken down

 

i was willing Perez to just last to the flag

 

Don’t think so. I’d have smashed it as I have Max and had him as turbo driver for x3 points.

 

Fair enough. If I've not said it already, well played with the turbo driver

 

Turbo Driver is is like FF captain, you select one of your drivers for every round and they score double points.

There is a Mega Driver option, this gives triples points for one driver at one round. Can only be used once.

There is also a wildcard. I assume this allows you to change as much as you want for one round.

@InBiscanWeTrust
did you mean turbo driver (x2) or Mega Driver (x3) on Max last weekend?

Edit; I can see you meant MD (x3)

 

couldn't be Turbo on Max as he is so expensive .

 

Yeah was the mega driver. I didn’t realise you only got 2 a season. Assumed it was like the turbo driver where just assigned it to one player every week

 

Is it two? Thought it was one

 

Think I read get one at each half? Might have been wrong

 

Team value gone up to 101.3m.

 

Didn't read the rules, just seen the numbers under the symbols
