[Christian Smirnoff]

Teams will be locked on Sunday, August 18th 15:30 GMT! Until then, you may create your team and perform driver transfers/swaps in time for the European GP.

Useful Information:

• Driver suggestion: After suffering two consecutive rounds without points in Monaco and Canada, Jack Keithley scored 2 podium finishes in the last 3 races. During those races, he scored 48 points, just 2 less than championship leader Bono Huis, the top scorer during that period. The Englishman finished only once this season below the top 4. Can he take a maiden victory in the streets of Valencia?
  
  
• Interesting facts: Over the first 5 rounds of the 2013 FSR Fantasy League, Bono Huis and Morgan Morand took 2 fastest laps each, while all Pole Positions were split between them, 3 of them by the Dutch driver. Ivar Kalamees and Blair Disley are the only drivers to have finished all 5 races, while Dian Kostadinov remains the only one to get a Fair Play record in all of them. Bono Huis is the only driver to have beaten his team-mate in all 5 Qualifying sessions, although he and Ivar Kalamees are the only ones with perfect assistance to Q2 sessions.
  
  
• Update your teams: Giuseppe Marconi, Zuhaitz Cabo and Marek Godek have announced they will not take part in the European GP. Remember to make the necessary transfers and swaps to ensure you have 4 drivers racing for your team!
  
  
• Penalties, penalties everywhere: Marcel van der Linden has received a Back of the Grid penalty for a Qualifying infraction in the Hungarian GP. Should he take part in the race, he will not be in contention for Poleman, Top Ten or Team Leader points. However, should he finish in the points, he may score many Overtaker points. Meanwhile, Eros Masciulli, Jorrick Boshove and Patrick De Wit have received Race Ban penalties and will be not be able to take part in the European GP to comply with the penalty.

Teams will be locked on Sunday, September 15th 15:30 GMT! Until then, you may create your team and perform driver transfers/swaps in time for the Japanese GP.

Useful Information:

• Driver suggestion: After a couple of retirements, Dian Kostadinov took his second podium finish of the season at Monza, returning to the top form he showed in the season's opening Melbourne race. Can the Bulgarian maintain his performance in a very different, twisty circuit like Suzuka and score another podium?
  
  
• Interesting facts: Only 2 drivers have finished all seven 2013 FSR Fantasy League races: Ivar Kalamees and Blair Disley. Only three drivers have set fastest race laps or pole positions throughout the seven rounds: Bono Huis (4 poles, 3 fastest laps), Morgan Morand (2 poles, 3 fastest laps) and Samuel Libeert (1 pole, 1 fastest lap). Marcel van der Linden is now the driver who climbed more positions from his grid spot on his way to a point-scoring finish (29), followed by Yannick Lapchin (25) and Philipp Puschke (23).

• Driver suggestion: Taking the GhostSpeed seat after Morand decided not to continue racing this season, Jernej Simoncic finished 4th at Suzuka and will be hoping to go one better at Yeongam. The Slovenian driver already has a podium finish this season at Montreal, can he repeat the result in Korean soil?

• Driver suggestion: This suggestion was so obvious it was left behind until the penultimate round. Bono Huis made history by becoming FSR’s first four-times World Champion at Singapore. The Dutchman won the last 7 races and has an incredible record of 10 wins in 12 participations this season. He is the most expensive driver in the FSR Fantasy League, but If the extra budget allows you to get him on your team, it is probably a good idea to do so.
  
  
• Penalties, penalties everywhere: Robert Rudholm has received a Back of the Grid penalty for a Qualifying infraction in the Singapore GP. Should he take part in the race, he will not be in contention for Poleman, Top Ten or Team Leader points. However, should he finish in the points, he may score many Overtaker points.
