We now know what the cars will look like, but who knows how the cars will perform on track?

There’s unlimited driver changes here right up until the start of qualifying, so there’s no harm in getting your entry in early. Then there’s less chance that you’ll forget.

Now is the time to be creating those private league too - give your friends and family plenty of time to join up ahead of the opening race.

Fantasy Racers may not be the biggest FantasyF1 site around, but it’s been around for over 20 years. Some of the players from the very early days are still playing so I must be doing something right, eh?

There is an increased budget for 2025, giving you even more choice of driver selections for the upcoming season.

I have also changed the approach to driver valuations. All new drivers will be added to the competition at a price of 8.00, and driver prices will be carried forward each season. So the starting price for all drivers that competed last year will be their value after Abu Dhabi 2024. Yes, this does mean that some drivers may appear to be too cheap (great, right?!) and some drivers too expensive - but that's the nature of the game. Pick the drivers that offer the best value for their current valuation.

If you're wondering how this will work out, I've gone back and "FantasyRacer'd" all races since 1983 (I know!) and you can see the results in the 'Driver Stats > Career Scores' section. It's also interesting to see who has scored the most Fantasy Points in the last 40 years. (if you're a bit of a stats geek like me).

Anyway - the competition is open for those early birds wanting to start drafting their teams. I'll post more in the new year once I'm ready to launch properly.

The scores and league tables have been updated with the results of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Top team this weekend was Daisy-lou F with a standout score of 1134. Daisy-Lou climbed 16 positions to end the year in 5th position.

So - it's time to offer our congratulations to Ross F, the FantasyRacers champion on 2024. Despite having a relatively poor round Ross held on to win by just 26 points! The habitual podium finisher Joshua Ashton jumped 1 spot to claim another runners up spot, and the long time leader Rodrigo C claims the last spot on the podium, just 77 points off the overall lead pace. A very close and exciting finish for the year.

So that's it for another year. FantasyRacers will be back next year for another installment - I hope to see you back again.
