DOWN TO THE WIRE..............

Just three races remaining and who will chase down the amazing shays in his quest for the coveted GTG Crown!!? shays has been a revelation this season and extended his lead due to a strong second place in Turkey. Can he keep the consistency going and cross the line as the years No.1? The F1 press certainly think so. Good luck shays :up:

So who can challenge for the much lusted after GTG crown? Well, you cant look past Zawed - a GTG veteren who finally has the machinery he deserves. Zawed wasnt available for comment but his management indicate he is undergoing closed door training in order to stay fit and focused for the intense run home!

A flurry of late betting activity has elevated FullCourseYellow as one of the favourites to take out the crown and why not - a more deserving competitor you will struggle to find.

But though the bookies may favour FullCourseYellow - the fans are screaming GO RIC GO!! The mercurial Ric Bol is up there battling for the championship once again and he certainly will have the fans behind him.

Then you have gerry nassar who we were lucky enough to interview earlier. When asked about his chances, "I had a slow start to the season but its coming together well now. Im surprised to be this high up in the championship actually - so i'll try my best but it will be hard to beat some of these guys who are on top form at the moment!"

Then we have an array of hot shots who can sneak there way into a top 3 championship result or better still - win it.....the smooth fisichella_2001 and the enigmatic Corners will continue there season long scrap, as will D_View7 and long time arch rival Makarias . And never count out sergino or alapan - two crowd favourites gunning for the championship. Sek is always capable of producing surprises and race addicted has been talking tough of late - confident it seems in his machinery!

And then you have one of the gaming legends - Estwald a once dominant force back on form and breathing fire! Jimmino as always stealthily sneaks up to the upper part of the grid and you never can count out the speedster ray_b or the controversial but blindingly quick magicalonso ! Or could under the radar D82 surprise everyone and take out the title. Then who can forget some of Apex 's magnificent rounds of days gone past and the media friendly LB is always in the hunt. Could sheivlak make a late run to the chequered flag and bag that title he so richly wants and deserves???

Any of these players can win and so too can some I havnt mentioned!

All will be answered in three rounds time - so get guessing and good luck!!!! :smoking: :up:




INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT - READ FIRST!!!

ROUND 17 - GUESS THE GRID IN JAPAN


Here are the Rules and Scoring system for Round 17:

1. List your guess of the top 10 qualifiers (ON THE GRID) at Suzuka. This year this will mean the actual top 10 qualifying order of Saturday qualifying session BEFORE penalties are taken into account.

2. Please follow the below instructions for the way in which to post your guesses.

How to place your guesses:

When posting your guesses please post them in the following manner - put your user name and then your selections as follows (these are examples only)

gerry nassar webb/butt/msch/alon/barr/fisi/barr/mass/raik/rsch


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OBSERVE THE ENTRY FORMAT:

YOUR NAME[SPACE]XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX

Please do it in this way so that the scores can calculated quicker. Make sure that you use only the first FOUR LETTERS in the drivers SURNAME . For the Schumacher brothers - you can type them as MSCH and RSCH . To differentiate between Montoya and Monterio - use Mont for Montoya and TMon for Monterio.

3. Post your guesses anytime before Full Field Friday First Practice(FFFP) . You can change your guesses as many time as you like as long as its done before THURSDAY First practice. Any posts or changes made after THURSDAY first practice will be INVALID! Please get them in by Full Field THURSDAY First Practice (FFFP) at the latest as it makes it easier to calculate the scores. Late entries made on the friday will have to receive approval from myself to be allowed in the game. So you will have to plead for mercy - though I may even accept bribes.;) Entries received after THURSDAY will not be accepted in any circumstance.

4. Scores will be calculated as follows:

* + 3 points for being spot on . (ie. Selecting Button in 4th and he actually qualifies 4th)

* + 2 points for being one position away from where the driver actually qualifies (ie. Selecting Raikonnen in 3rd and he qualifies either 2nd or 4th)

* + 1 point for having a driver you selected qualifying anywhere in the top 10 (not spot on or one away) ie. Selecting Michael Schumacher 5th but he qualifies 9th

* + 5 points if you manage to correctly pick all positions in the top 10. (Note – no one has done this in the last 4 years)

AND JUST TO CLARIFY some confusion - for example if you pick Massa 10th and he qualifies 11th you get 2 points, ie 1 position away. The fact that he is out of the top 10 makes you lose no points because you picked him one away at 10th.

5. The grid the result will be calculated on is that which is announced by the FIA immediately after saturday qualifying. Therefore any subsequent penalties will not be taken into account.

6. If a driver you selected is replaced during qualifying – his replacement will be substituted in his place in your guesses unless you change it before Full Field Friday First Practice.

7. Results will be calculated soon after Qualifying is completed. Look out for a results thread to be posted by Jforce. This thread will feature the round’s results, a championship table, commentary etc. The results thread can then be used as a results discussion thread by you all.

If you have any questions - PM me and I'll respond as soon as I can.

PLEASE NOTE: If a driver you choose unable to qualify and race for whatever reason - you can ammend your selections as long as it is before Friday First Practice. If you dont get a chance to ammend your guesses - then we will calculate your score based on whowever replaces him

THE MORE PLAYERS WE HAVE - THE BETTER! SO FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN ANYTIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR - THOUGH TO MAXIMISE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP - START FROM ROUND 1!!

My apologies for posting this late. I thought I posted this last week but was reminded by scheivlak via PM that this wasnt posted.

Problem being that I posted the thead from work and the email filter blocked it because we are in the "bets" forum :rolleyes:

Hopefully this hasnt inconvenienced anyone.

Anyway if you have any problems please feel free to PM me :)
