Second round, only 3 entries (thanks to me missing the deadline!). Not sure whether it makes much sense to continue, to be honest. Good victory for Ric Bol, well ahead of the rest of the field, who obviously both make the podium

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.
This year Guess the CCWS and Guess the IRL will be semi-attached. Both will have separate standings, but their will be road course and oval championships that run over both series.
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.
