Ohh My Fucking Car Gags

 

[jez101]

My spreadsheet just crashed because it doesn't know who I am playing in the next cup game.

cider_and_toast ?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Tomorrow morning, all will be revealed.

 

[cider_and_toast]

(Because my fixture list is on my desk at work )

 

[cider_and_toast]

Right, here are the next fixtures:

Round 2:

Group A:

RasputinLives v sushifiesta

WBF1 v Sakari

Group B:

soccerman17 v teabagyokel

Dash Racing v jez101

So it's a weekend off for FB and Jos the Boss

Good luck to everyone.

If I beat Jos the Boss in a weather forecast prediction can I have a bye in the next round?

 

[RasputinLives]

I'm up against the statman! I predict another crushing defeat.

 

[jez101]

If I beat Jos the Boss in a weather forecast prediction can I have a bye in the next round?

Just predict a dry race and you are pretty much guaranteed to do ok!

 

[jez101]

So Dash Racing , I would like to wish you good luck in your endeavours, but suggest that you follow a respectful distance behind in the Schumacher / Barrichello formation. Remember old chap, the constructors is what matters and we don't want to be taking each other out at the first corner now, do we...

 

[Dash Racing]

Understood, jez101, but I think if I take the lead in the first turn, we should just race, so the fans don't feel that there's team orders going on. We don't want that kind of controversy.

Meanwhile, inside the motorhome:Now where's jez101's engineer? I think he could do with some beer to relax the night before the race...

And the results for round two are as follows:

Group A:

RasputinLives 751 v sushifiesta 656

WBF1 742 v Sakari 742

Group B:

soccerman17 671 v teabagyokel 656

Dash Racing 716 v jez101 730

Some seriously close results right up to a tie between WBF1 and Sakari. Will that be significant towards the end of the season??

Due to the number of players, from Silverstone onwards there will be 1 match per group instead of 2. The next set of fixtures will be out soon. The table will be updated when I return to work tomorrow.

 

[Mephistopheles]

So how am I doing then?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Played none, won none, lost none. So better than a couple of 'em.

 

[RasputinLives]

The underdog wins! Woop!

 

[sushifiesta]

I've completely dropped the ball the last couple of weeks. Too focused on chasing team value rather than points...

 

[RasputinLives]

As the lowest ranked player in the mini-cup I'm surprised to find I have the highest score this week.

Even watching the stats on the F1 mini cup is more exciting than the Grand Prix at the moment!

 

[cider_and_toast]

I bet FB is glad he had the week off

Group A	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Sakari	2	1	1	0	+111
Jos the Boss	1	1	0	0	+74
WBF1	1	0	1	0	+0
Rasputinlives	2	1	0	1	-16
Sushifiesta	2	0	0	1	-170

Group B	Played	Won	Draw	Lost	Points Diff
Jez101	2	2	0	0	+45
Teabagyokel	2	1	0	1	+26
Soccerman17	2	1	0	1	-17
Dash Racing	1	0	0	1	-14
FB	1	0	0	1	-41

Well we've had some movement in the tables now that I've worked them out. Group A has seen Rasputinlives move off the bottom to be replaced by Sushifiesta who's points difference isn't looking too healthy at the moment. Meanwhile in the other group Jez101 has overtaken Teabagyokel but it remains tight on points between the next 4 players.

Here are the fixtures for the British GP weekend:

RasputinLives v Jos the Boss

soccerman17 v FB

Good luck everyone.

 

[RasputinLives]

I predict I'm playing Jos the Boss next.
