Silverstone, the place most beloved by Mosley in the Earth (possibly after Maranello).

Can anyone guess something worthy in this horrible, bumpy, muddy, corrupt, and british circuit (sorry, those are the adjectives in the official FIA program for the event) :lol:

One thing I don't fully understand: why we have to bear Montecarlo slot cars race just by its historic roots in F1, and in Silverstone's case it doesn't apply... Was not it the very first F1 race as a WDC, just one week before Montecarlo? Oh, sorry, I was applying logic against a lawyer!;) :) (sorry for the lawyers here, but I had to go on the joke! I swear I didn't say it seriously... just in case...)

(Disclaimer: I'm not British or British related, nobody in my family is British or British related. I beg pardon to FIA and I hope I can go on using my road car. In my favour, it is a FIAT ;) )

Well, all that sillyness is just to introduce the round for GP Britain (what's the official name?, I don't want to go to look it now) :rolleyes: Bear my "introductions" and you can play this game :blush:

Rules, as always, are:

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

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.

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

Apparently our Shays is in the jungle (searching for a Pizzonia's replacemente?) and s/he sent me by PM the guess: JPM-KR-MS (he wrote "Schummy" but I assume s/he was not meaning Ralf or me)

Thanks to everybody to share this game, and especially thanks to everybody to cheat in order to let me in the lead of the game :kiss: . Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm not that easy to delude! :cool:

I hadn't played this before but I'll give it a shot. After reading the scoring, it looks more interesting than I had originally thought. So....

Welcome, skylark68! :wave:

I hope you get here some funny moments (and some hopeless ones!). Failures are not good for the scoring but for sure they are funny to share ;)

...And with so many *absurd* classifications I sometimes do, possibly in some of them you can do well :cat:

I have never understood the scoring myself. Schummy's mastermind is too complex for me. :cool:

I believe in Ferrari this week, and Fisi/Jordan of course!

Why? Where? When? Have you reserved information (Bernie's remote control or something like that)?

DeathMasteR: you are right in time, just by 38 minutes! :up: But, sadly, Schu's brothers have failed.
