Round 4 of Guess the Winning Time

1. The deadline for all the predictions is 1 hour before the start of the Grand Prix, 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.

Deadline has passed.

How can the deadline have passed when you state "The deadline for all the predictions is 1 hour before the start of the Grand Prix"? I was planning on watching weather situation to see if I wanted to change my entry... I would have guessed a higher time allowing for rain but after re-reading your rules you state we have until 1 hour before the beginning of the race aka Grand Prix.

Please explain and thanks.

AA cack, those are the old rules, I copied and pasted these rules from the first thread but when it came to the first grand prix I decided to make the deadline before FP1.

Sorry about that.

Sorry about that.

So, no changes?

[gillymuse]

So, no changes?

Well with all the confusion I've caused I think I'll keep it at 1 hour before the races, so you can change.

[Tenmantaylor]

Kind of my fault for suggesting it before the start of the first round.

Ill be keeping my eye on the weather then before I go to sleep tonight Wonder if the ash will make an appearance?

Thanks for the clarification gillymuse. The loose ends in this game will now be closed for Barcelona.

I want to change my guess to

1:38:50.000

Thanks again!

[Makarias]

If the round is still open for changes I'll change my entry to 1:39:49.287

[gillymuse]

I'll accept both you changes
