Ladies and Gents,

The longest ever "How long will it take to lap..." season has come to an end! Our driver of choice has proven to be much less predictable than his predecessor (Zsolt). While Apex managed a total of 6 perfect guesses last year, this year the most perfect guesses a player got is 3... Furthermore, the winner of this years competition was off by more than 120 laps, while last years champ weasle made due with 57.

86 players put in their guesses to race for this years crown. Only 39 were left when the final flag was waved in China.

The law of averges played out well again for kismet. Putting in the same number all season, he achieved a spot well inside the top 5 again. Only him and Narain know where he gets that number from ;). Last years champion weasle put it all on the line in a last ditch effort to make it to the top in the last two races - it didn't pay off. Weasle dropped from 8th to 23rd in two races. StickShift managed to recover from a missed guess and snuck past 5 players who didn't miss a guess!

Like last year - even more so actually - it came down to the wire again. This season was decided in the very last race. And we indeed have a clear winner...

After a record breaking 13 weeks at the top of the championship, pungzilla the 2003 HLWITTLJ champion, was surpassed by the AtlasF1 Fantasy Manager organizer and new 2005 HLWITTLK Champion:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

(Fumbles with piece of paper from inside jacket pocket)

Oops, thats the shopping list for last years aborted victory party. Been too excited to organise anything this year.

Firstly I would like to thank my fellow competitors for a great season. It has been a bit up and down for me but the last 4 rounds seem to play into my game plan. I would especially like to thank pungzilla for setting such a hot pace from early in the season.

Next I would like to thank Andre for running this great competition and giving me the opportunity to hold a "world" champion (of AtlasF1) crown. It has been great fun Andre. Luckily for me you picked Narain for the game this year. He was my choice too, partly because he was driving for the now late great Jordan team and partly because I thought he would present a bigger challenge than previous Minardi drivers. That proved to be correct. I severlely limiteed my involvement in the games this year and if you had gone with another driver I wouldn't have played.

And finally I would like to thank Narain for his unpredictability but consistently being in the 4 to 5 secs per lap behind the leader through out the season. I was a bit worried at 15 secs down after the first lap but the safety car came out at the right time to squeeze the field back up. After that I was reasonably confident that my 23 lap guess would be strong enough for me to take out the crown.


:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :wave:
(Can you tell I am excited?)
