NOTE: the track layout has been edited for this year!
30 metres shorter according to Forix... The change would be after the swimming pool complex I think.
Driving at 108 km/h you do 30 m in 1 s.
Driving at 144 km/h you do 30 m in 0.75 s.
Driving at 180 km/h you do 30 m in 0.6 s.
The track will count as modified, which means that you score points for guessing within 4 seconds off the actual pole time. (I've dumped the "slightly modified" and "heavily modified" distinctions, let it hereby be known.)
How to enter: Just submit your guess for what the pole time will be, and who you think will take pole.
Deadline: post/edit before the start of first free practice.
Here are the scoring rules. Revised for 2003!
Here are the 2003 standings so far.
