The general idea of this game is that before the start of each race you will predict the time for the winner to complete the Grand Prix (not the driver, just his winning time). After the race I will work out based on the official winning time the difference between your predicted winning time and the actual winning time. Over the season the person who gets the lowest overall difference between their prediction and the real time will be the winner.

Previous winners
2010: Makarias
2011: Grayson

Rules

  • The deadline for your prediction is the scheduled starting time of the race. I will post it before the Grand Prix in the for the race dedicated thread. Any predictions made after the deadline will not be counted and 4. will apply
  • Until the deadline you can edit your guess as often as you want.
  • All times should be submitted in the form h:mm:ss.xxx
  • If you miss a deadline I will take the time predicted by the player with the worst result and increase the difference by 1 minute
  • Red flagged races wont count into the championship

Championship standings
 
You can join the game at any time throughout the season. To maximise your chance of winning the championship you should join from the first race on.

The game also includes a bot player CHARLIE, who guesses for every race the Winning time of last years race (in case of the German GP the 2014 edition). He wants to watch the 24 hours of Le Mans, so he will boycott the European GP. His guess for the Chinese GP is therefore 1:39:42.008.
 
The deadline for the 2016 Chinese GP is the start of the race on April 17, 6:00 GMT (7:00 BST)

Two remarks:

1. The best guess for Bahrain was 0:00:00.530 off, by some humble guy who doesn't want to brag ;).

2. Both initial guesses seem to be lap time guesses, not race time guesses.

:cool:

As Barty pointed out it needs to be a race time guess and not a lap time guess ;)

Edit: based on your previous Guesses I assume that you probably wanted to guess 1:34:00.711, so it is ok ;)

Wonder who this humble guy is? :p  ;)
