HLWITTLD 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the 2011 How Long Will It Take To Lap D'Ambrosio 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
2010 Senna - Brawn BGP 001

The rules:

Guess how many laps Jerome D'Ambrosio 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 D'Ambrosio 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 Virgin car starts that car shall be used. If Virgin don't make the grid for whatever reason, then Narain Kartikeyan is our fallback 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.....D'Ambrosio will complete 12 laps in Australia before being lapped.

Please note, I will be away for all of April, so no results will be posted until May. I will create threads for the two races in April before the end of March.

Cheers
Mark

I thought I'd take a bit of a gamble on either an early incident or the 107% rule getting in his way...
