NEW CIRCUIT AGAIN
We keep the tripled timespans from Eifel as we greet the luxurious mystery known as the Algarve International Circuit to the F1 calendar. It is 4653 m of length and its ends are joined together so that you conveniently get to begin a new lap at the start immediately after you've completed the previous one at the end! Nifty!

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 - 7.500The 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
