After an intense battle between Solberg and Gronholm ended with the retirement of the favourite as well as the retirement of the other big favourite, Sebastien Loeb, it was especially the lower half of the order that made the difference. With 17 drivers chosen, luck diced back and forth for all of us. Ric Bol grabbed his second podium, followed by arcine. Surprise winner was..errr..me. Ric Bol meanwhile grabbed the lead in the championship, edging ahead of TT6.

Rules
The rules are fairly simple. All you have to do is predict the top 8 for the upcoming rally in the simple format of

your username/dvr1/dvr2/dvr3/dvr4/dvr5/dvr6/dvr7/dvr8

Scoring is done on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.

10 points scored if your driver finishes in the position predicted, 8 points if your selection finishes 1 place away (i.e. 1st or 3rd when you said second), all the way down to 1 point if your selection finishes 7 places away. No points will be awarded if your selection finishes outside the points positions or if he retires from the rally.

A 20 point bonus will be awarded if you get them all correct, so you can in theory score 100 in each round.

Results will be posted at the end of each rally as soon as possible (can be an hour, can be 2 days, depending on whether I'm near a computer).

Entries must be in before the start of the first stage of the rally.
