As Le Mans magic starts again for 2007, I decided to host "Guess the Le Mans". I hope to run it every year from now on.
This is the first part of the game. Here, you will guess the pole time. The "guess the race" topic is going to be opened this weekend (sunday night). Your final score will be the sum of these two. The player with the highest score will be 2007 GtLM champion!
Scoring Rules:
Scoring rules for GtLM Pole is directly taken from Makarias' famous GtPole game. As we are not much familiar with guessing about Le Mans, I decided to use the "new layout" offset format for GtLM. So, our rules are as follows:
- Participants who guess the right pole car will earn extra 5 points.
- The best eight guessers (closest to the actual pole position time) will score points F1 style: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
- Precision points are given to every participant whose guess was sufficiently close the actual pole position time according to the list below:
Time offsets Pts [s] 10 - 0.150 8 - 0.300 6 - 0.600 5 - 1.200 4 - 1.800 3 - 2.400 2 - 3.600 1 - 6.000

If you have difficulties with the car numbers, you may enter the driver names (three of them), but writing the car number will be much appriciated!
You may have a look at the 2007 practice times to have an idea about this year's pole time. The best time was scored by No.8 Peugeot's Lamy/Sarrazin/Bourdais trio with a time of 206.707. However, don't forget that this year will see quicker lap times thanks to a construction on tetre rouge corner IIRC.
Here's the entry list with car numbers on the left side!
Good luck to all!
Deadline for entries:
Wednesday 13th, 1759 AtlasF1 time!
