How to enter: Just submit your guess for what the pole time will be, and who you think will take pole.
Grid penalties are ignored if and only if they are due to disciplinary reasons.

Deadline:
Entries are accepted only if they are submitted/edited before First Free Practice.
Entries that are edited after the beginning of First Free Practice but before I have registered the entries will be ignored.

Scoring rules

-The best ten guessers (closest to the actual pole position time) Score points F1 style, 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1.

-Precision points are given to every participant whose guess was sufficiently close to the actual pole position time according to this list:

     <-----------Time offsets----------->
Pts  Default   Modified Layout  New Track  [s]
25   - 0.100       - 0.200       - 0.300
18   - 0.200       - 0.400       - 0.600
15   - 0.400       - 0.800       - 1.200
12   - 0.600       - 1.200       - 1.800
10   - 0.800       - 1.600       - 2.400
 8   - 1.000       - 2.000       - 3.000
 6   - 1.200       - 2.400       - 3.600
 4   - 1.500       - 3.000       - 4.500
 2   - 1.800       - 3.600       - 5.400
 1   - 2.500       - 5.000       - 7.500
The first race of the season counts as a Modified Layout unless it's brand new.
A track that wasn't used the previous season also counts as a Modified Layout.
A track that hasn't been used for the previous five seasons counts as a New Track.

-Driver Points are given for correctly guessing the driver to take pole position. The amount of points given depends on the current value of the driver, according to this list:
Pts   Recent qualifying results
18     0 front row starts in the previous five races
13     1 front row start in the previous five races
 9     2 front row starts in the previous five races
 6     3 front row starts in the previous five races
 4     4 front row starts in the previous five races
 3     5 front row starts in the previous five races

How fast they have to be in order to bet the fastest ever lap in F1 history before Monza?

What exactly do you mean?

 

The fastest lap ever at Monza, a 1:19.525 over 5793 m gives an average speed of 262,24 km/h.

The best lap in Spa is a 1:44.503 on the 7004 m layout, that equals 241,28 km/h.

 

262,24 km/h at Spa would mean a laptime of 1:36.150, more than 10 seconds faster than last year.

 

 

Edit: If you mean what laptime they need to achieve to be the fastest circuit without considering Monza, then the pole needs to be faster than this year's British pole, which was done at 244,89 km/h. To reach this average speed at Spa, the laptime needs to be a 1:42.962.

 

Edit2: Silverstone used to be faster in the past. Keke did 259,01 km/h in 1985.

Darn, I have just woken up from a heavy session last night ...  missed FP1 and guessing the QP time.  Can I do a late entry just for laughs, no points at all obviously!

 

104.223  Seb

 

I have not looked at FP1 yet, so that already might be hopeless, like last time.   :lol:

PS And when I said heavy session I meant drinking not sex. I'm too old for that. If only I was younger and it was two Russian ladies and not two bottles from Russia....
