Round Seventeen: Japan

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.

Three latest poles at Japan:

Just posted on Atlas...

Qualifying Rescheduled for Sunday Morning

Now what Mak? Can I re-edit my time?

[Makarias]

Umm well... Let's put the deadline forward to 3 pm CET tomorrow...That's a bit over 18 hours from now, fyi. In case qualifying will be cancelled altogether, the game round will be cancelled too, so no points for a Barrichello pole guess by default in that case.

[Moanaman]

Thanks Mak

[Makarias]

YEEEAAAH no more entries now, thank you very much.

[MortenF1]

I thought it would be wetter.....
A very good guess there Jangkrik!

[Moanaman]

...and I thought it would be dryer
