After a bit of a long wait as I was on the way from Oschersleben (very enjoyable race there, I can warmly recommend the Nord and West stands area!), the results are finally here. With only two retirements, it was the highest scoring round yet. Shared winners this time! Makarias and your humble host guessed best, while Ric Bol completed the podium with his second consecutive visit there. In the championship the battle is fierce, with the top three just two points apart.
Awarding points for each guess gives the following expected result:
1. Paffett 112 (19.15%)
2. Ekstrom 87 (14.87%)
3. Hakkinen 80 (13.68%)
4. Kristensen 74 (12.65%)
5. Alesi 49 (8.38%)
6. Schneider 41 (7.01%)
7. Green 32 (5.47%)
8. Tomczyk 14 (2.39%)
9. McNish 7 (1.2%)
10. Fassler 6 (1.03%)
11. Frentzen 4 (0.68%)
12. Aiello 1 (0.17%)

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 race 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 Thursday 23:59:59 GMT before the race.
