A pal of mine at work has set one of these up and it looks really cool, so I'm proposing to run one on here.
Please indicate your interest in this thread.
To get it up and running, I would setup the league and invite forum members to join in. I would set up a specific PayPal account just for this so that you can pay in to join the fun. I'd suggest an entry fee of £10 or £20 per man say, and all the money would be distributed as prizes at the end of the season. The last race is in November, so this would be a handy cash bunce just before Christmas for the winner, runner up etc. Once I have a good idea of numbers and money in the pot, I can figure out how many places of prizes can sensibly be made, but in theory, I'd go with 50% of the prize fund to the winner, then various reducing amounts down to just the stake back as the bottom prize - i.e. you'd get your entry fee back as say 3rd, 4th, 5th place.

When you join the league, you will be prompted by email a week or so before each race to enter your predictions for the top 10 places in the race, fastest lap, pole position etc. Then you get points depending on how accurate your predictions were. If you miss a race by being on holiday or something, then the system will just automatically re-use your last prediction for the next race, so it's pretty self contained.
Please let me know if you're interested, and how much you think the entry fee should be. Obviously, the higher the fee, the higher the prize fund is likely to be, but also bare in mind that £10 or £20 say paid now will be long forgotten about by Christmas.
Here is a summary of the instructions copied from the website:
[h=1]HOW TO PLAY[/h][h=3][U]Registration[/U][/h][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial]You must provide a unique teamname for your account. Any names deemed inappropriate or offensive will not be allowed and one or more of your accounts may be withdrawn or disqualified from the game as a result.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial]You can also predict which driver you think will get pole position, which driver will set the fastest lap and which driver will gain the most positions during the race.
