Here we go again.

Nurburgring is waiting the F1 circus. I mean Mini-nurburgring, of course ;) , don't let your heart go too fast. The new Nurbur-thing looked a good track when it was greated, a bit like people thought about Paul Ricard when designed: a bit "heart-less" but with a good mixed layout. Anyway, as years went by, people somehow tended to think neue-Nurburgring is somehow dull, bland. In fact I think it is a lot as Montmelo as a layout. But as every other F1 track, it looks fine when any other form of motorsport race on it! Why we don't redisegn F1 cars instead?

Well, who cares about all that? all we want is racing action and lots of overtaking action, as is customary in F1 :cat: We *need* that wheel to wheel banging that Schuey gives us, and we like too much :cat: :cat: And we are looking for the smart strategy those people who we don't see are able to do :cat: :cat: :cat: :cry:

Anywayyy... the usual rules:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It consists in guessing the three firsts in F1 races. You do an ordered guess (i.e. MS-JPM-RS) and a score is given according to real podium results. The scoring system is as explained here:

Suppose you do the guess MS-JPM-RS.

If MS is 1st, 3 points
if MS is 2nd, 2 points
if MS is 3rd, 1 point

If JPM is 1st, 2 points
if JPM is 2nd, 2 points
if JPM is 3rd, 1 point

If RS is 1st, 2nd or 3rd, 1 point

It another driver makes a podium position, it doesn't give any points.

The key for this system is not "gambling" on the exact position but to do a realistic shot at the relative merit of each driver in that GP. For instance, you are not penalized for JPM being first and not 2nd, as the penalty comes by not scoring with MS's first position.

In order to have a reference I will enter two "dummy" players: Bernie and Max (the names were chosen randomly ). Bernie always guesses the firsts three qualifyers, and Max always guesses the firsts three classified in WDC current points table. Can you outscore B&M?

Any guess can be done before one hour before the official first start of the race. We will use the "official" Atlas Forum clock to resolve close entries.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lukywill has sent me by PM his/her/its ;) guess: jpm - ms - kr

As always, thanks for losing your time here and let's see who is going to shine in this round (appart from me, of course :rolleyes: )

Ok, shays! Please, look if I forget to include you for France, and I'll redo the classification with you (I'm severely absent-minded!)

Thanks, DeathMasteR , but I'm the organizer and thus I'm the only person in this game who cannot be put in an exception :blush: :up:

I'll take it with good humor :) My main wish is the game results funny, more than to win it (but it would be cool if I end in the first positions! :love: )

Anyway, it looks as I've had luck, as this round seems to be difficult to guess. Maybe, I have more points for a miss than for my (theoretical) guess :drunk: Well, it is just as in F1: sometimes you profit for starting from pit lane ;)
