In a low scoring round, mainly due to Schneider, Hakkinen and Green's results, Ric Bol scored his second victory of the season ahead of no less than four second place players : StickShift, dnbn, Makarias and Jimmino. A bad performance of me gives Schuting the sole lead in the championship, while Ric Bol joins me in second, 3 points adrift.
Awarding points for each guess gives the following expected result:
1. Ekstrom 100 (19.72%)

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 race. 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 race 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 race.
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.
