With Tilke (beloved/hated designer of new emasculated Hocky) we have met. I think this round will be advantageous for those who use Scalextric. Now seriously, the new minihock didn't seem so bad as we thought when we heard the words "Hockenheim to be cutted" and "Tilke" in the same phrase.

It is too late to go on with more foolish commentaries, so...


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.

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

Shays is again on some mission (looking a replacement for Wilson in Jaguar, just in case he turn over the car in any curve?). His/her guess is, by PM: MS-KR-RB. Aaah, good sense is always welcomed here!;)

Ladies, gentlemen & robots, start your guesses! (Men who are not gentlemen can apply as well)

race adicted: it is not clear at all what is your bet! Is it a sort of "podium"? :confused:

I'm assuming your guess is JPM - KR - JT :drunk: and I'm entering it in this way in the game.

Doing creative things to guesses is funny, but if it can lead to arguments about what is it or what is not, then it is not so funny ;)

Anyway, JPM-MS-RS.

Thanx Schummy! :wave:

race a: I will be looking for your nice podium next time! :love: (But, please, also say me what's the right guess in order I don't look as a fool! :cat: :drunk: )

My bet (Schummy):

JPM-RS-RB

I'll go, reluctantly, with Bernie, these cars are so reliable and Kimi and Michael are a bit down the order. I don't know how to choose between Ralf and JuanP, so let it be as in the grid. I suppose Rubens will have to let MS pass if Schuey gets just behind him, but, can MS go there?

MAX: MS-KR-JPM
BERNIE: JPM-RS-RB

LOL, it looks as if I did my bet just by 2 minutes! :eek:

I thought the race was at 15:00 not at 14:00!
