Guess the Le Mans 2008!
This is the first part of the game. Here, you will guess the pole time. The "guess the race" topic is going to be opened this weekend (sunday night). Your final score will be the sum of these two. The player with the highest score will be 2008 GtLM champion!
Scoring Rules:
Scoring rules for GtLM Pole is directly taken from Makarias' famous GtPole game. As we are not much familiar with guessing about Le Mans, I decided to use the "new layout" offset format. So, our rules are as follows:
- Participants who guess the right pole car will earn extra 5 points.
- The best eight guessers (closest to the actual pole position time) will score points F1 style: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
- Precision points are given to every participant whose guess was sufficiently close the actual pole position time according to the list below:
Time offsets Pts [s] 10 - 0.150 8 - 0.300 6 - 0.600 5 - 1.200 4 - 1.800 3 - 2.400 2 - 3.600 1 - 6.000

You may have a look at the times from practice 1 and practice 2 to have an idea about this year's pole time. This year's best practice time was scored by No.8 Peugeot's Lamy/Sarrazin/Wurz trio with a time of 202.222. I don't know if there had been any construction on the track since last year though...
Here's the entry list with car numbers on the left column.
Good luck to all!
