TWO IMPORTANT THINGS:
*The Ralf Schumacher situation: Even if Ralf will be penalised ten grid positions, he's still a very selectable option for this race. The fastest driver and the fastest time in saturday quals will be counted, in order not to make this round easier than other rounds...
*Changed track layout - again! According to http://www.racingcircuits.net/ The new layout is 4384 metres, whereas the old layout was 3968 metres. A difference of 416 metres, and the layout should be faster (km/h wise) than before. Precision points will be awarded for guesses within four seconds off the actual pole.
How to enter: Just submit your guess for what the pole time will be, and who you think will take pole. Even Ralf, before possible penalties.
Deadline: post/edit before the start of first free practice.
Here are the scoring rules. Revised for 2003!
