High scoring round! As AverageBot's amazing 70 shows, we were on average pretty much spot on. In the end Ric Bol grabbed the win, a point ahead of championship rivals IMHO and Schuting Star. In the championship it remains really close! Schuting Star leads, with IMHO 1 behind and Ric Bol 2 behind.
I've added a new feature, showing how much points each of the top 8 drivers scored for all the participants. Looks like something went wrong in the integration of the GtDTM/GtWRC/GtCCWS systems and I've posted wrong standings last time around.

The bots
We have 2 bots playing with us. LazyBot guesses the current championship standings, taking into account only those drivers who are entered into the rally. AverageBot guesses the average guess of all participants, as shown above.
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.
