Make your predictions for the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix.

For full details, the rules can be found here



Winning Time from previous Years

2009 - 1:31:48.182
2008 - 1:31:06.970
2007 - 1:33.27.515

Things to consider:

• Of course the full fuel load at the start which can - reportedly - add on 5 seconds a lap, this could change the winning time a lot from previous years.
• The new layout for this years Bahrain Grand Prix.

Rules
1. The deadline for all the predictions will be on Midnight of the Friday of the Grand Prix, (Thursday for Monaco), I'll post the time in the appropriate thread of the deadline and I'll also post when the deadline has past. Any predictions made after the deadline will not be counted and 5 will apply below.
2. Predictions should be posted into the appropriate thread except for the last round where predictions can be sent via PM.
3. All times should be posted in the form h:mm:ss.000 just to make things easy when reading the times.
4. Once the race has finished and I have the winning time from the Grand Prix, I will post the results from the Grand Prix showing who got the closest results, and then the overall championship.
5. If you miss a deadline, I will take the time predicted by another player which created the greatest difference from the actual racing time, and then increase the difference by 30 seconds and make that your time for that Grand Prix.

For example
If there were four taking part and one missed the deadline
After the Grand Prix, the winning time was 1:36:23.764.
The following times were predicted:

1:34:23.955
1:37:28.322
1:30:23.623

The time 1:30:23.623 creates the biggest difference out of the other 3 with a difference of 6:00.141. The player who missed the deadline would be given a time of 1:29:53.623, a 30 second increase in difference to 6:30.141.

6. If a race doesn't go the full distance (ie all the laps aren't completed and the race doesn't go over the 2 hour mark) I will discard the results.

1:37:05.303

1:40:25.396

1:39:50.748

1:40:31.970

1:42.57.999

1:38.52.462

Is that 1:42:56.999 or 1:42:57.999

1:40:04.381

.57, stupid keyboard.

It's alright

Oh and the deadline for all predictions will be Friday 12h March 00:00 UTC

1:43:23.467

I was gonna guess now but will prob wait till sunday morning now
Love the comp idea but will allowing guesses between Qual and race start mean whoever spends most time on calculator and spreadsheet will always win? Hence the reason guess the pole deadline is midnight before FP1.

Thanks
I think you may have just prompted a rule change now, midnight before FP1 it is
