HLWITTLS 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the 2010 How Long Will It Take To Lap Senna competition!

Who will join the illustrious champions honour roll:

2002 Yoong - Flying Panda
2003 Verstappen - pungzilla
2004 Zsolt - weasle
2005 Karthikayan - Garth B
2006 Sato - sek
2007 Speed/Vettel – LB
2008 Fisichella - shays
2009 Sutil - scheivlak

The rules:

Guess how many laps Bruno Senna will complete (as in he has to pass the start/finish line) before he is overtaken for the first time by the leader of the race. If, for example, he doesn't qualify or he blows up on the grid, that counts as 0 laps. If he is passed during lap 15, that means he has completed 14 laps.

The winner for a race will be the person who's score, or the difference between their guess and the actual number of laps, is closest to 0.

The race scores will be compiled after every event towards the championship tally. The top finishers for a race will be posted along with the full championship standings following each race.

If you miss a race (forget to add a guess), your total for that week will be the total number of laps in the race.

If Senna misses a race due to injury or due to being fired, his replacement will be used in the competition. If he is fired during a race weekend and only one Hispania car starts that car shall be used. If Hispania don't make the grid for whatever reason, then Lucas di Grassi is our fullback driver.

Your guess must be posted before the start of Friday first practice. No exceptions.
Please state your guess as a decimal number (eg. "10"), don't write it out or be otherwise confusing.

This is a competition for lazy bastards who don't want to think too much, so any complaints you have about any results, etc, will likely be completely ignored. Or rather corrected by me, because I'm nice like that.

Everybody is allowed one "scratch result". In other words, your worst guess or one missed race will not count towards your final score. So if you miss one race during the whole season, that race won't count. If you don't miss any races, your worst guess will not count towards your final score.

Please remember to get your guesses in on time. Nothing hurts you more than a missed guess in this game. If you're going on vacation, you can PM me in advance.

I'll start the ball rolling.....Senna will complete 8 laps in Bahrain before being lapped.

Cheers
Mark

What if Senna somehow manages not to be lapped? If I forgot to place my guess, would I win?

No you wouldn't win, your score for the round would be the number of laps in the race (eg. 60). Everyone who entered whould have a score of the total number of laps minus what their entry was (eg. 60-15=45) .
