This is the first part of the game. Here, you will guess the pole time. The "Guess the race" topic is also opened here. And don't forget, your final score will be the sum of these two. The player with the highest score will be the 2011 GtLM champion. BTW, there is a weird tradition among the guessers of this game, which is forgetting to post guesses in the race threads, which is not very useful if you think you can get more points from there. So don't forget to post in the race thread, too.
And yes, you can still win the not-so-prestigious-but-still-original 'Grand Prix d'Atlas 24' too
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 ex-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:
