Round Sixteen: China

Brand new track! Guesses within SIX seconds off the actual pole time will score precision points. Also note that the guessing deadline for this race is strictly at the start of Friday first free practice, which also is slightly earlier than usual... Or actually almost two weeks later than any previous GP, but you know what I mean.

The track is 5451 metres long and is drawn by Herman Tilke and it's wonderful and we must all praise it and blah blah blah. http://www.racingcircuits.net/ provides a pic of the layout.

How to enter: Just submit your guess for what the pole time will be, and who you think will take pole.
Ten position penalties are ignored if they are due to disciplinary reasons.

Deadline: post/edit before the start of first free practice.
Two late entries per participant and season are allowed, not at new or changed track layouts though. For late entries, the absolute deadline is the start of Q1.

Here are the scoring rules.

Here are the 2004 standings so far.
