Down to seventh already. Didn't take long... And that's before the recent Turkish results are collated. Hoping to maintain my position of 10th to 12th from last year...

EXPLETIVE DELETED!!! Down in 20th, and only one person ahead of me has used double points like myself? I suck.

Without shooting myself in the foot, and earning myself a 22 point penalty for severe brain fade, I'd have 58 points and be in joint 5th place, not down in 29th with just 36 points. At least for now you have the pride of beating the defending champion...

Where can we find out who the fastest lap, ROTR, IIDOTR etc for each race were? Apologies if I'm dense on this point.

Oh, and additionally, are there points for correctly predicting no non-qualifiers?

As you said, at least for now. But I'm sure not for long... As stated above, just a few races ago, I was as high as third...

1. They're usually found along with the race results on the same posts as the standings for each round.
2. You get 1 point for correctly predicting no non-qualifiers.

Danke Shane! I guess I am just dense.

About some obscure ROTR, I would be thinking that half points should be awarded if it's close to some obscure ROTR. For example in Spain, half of the normal correct score if you had picked Red Bull or Webber. (no one had actually done so, one was for Red Bull engines)

Thanks for the updates Wiz.

This is far more enthralling than the actual Championship.

Post by **tommykl** » 13 Sep 2011, 15:55

God, this is close.

For Italy, I correctly picked Vettel to win, Schumacher in 5th, Vettel in pole, di Resta in the MLP and the fact that there wouldn't be any non-qualifiers.
I put Hamilton, Button and Alonso in the points but out of position.

If I count correctly, that's 15 points. That means I have scored 30 points for the round, as it was a double points round.

However, if I counted correctly, I only get 10 points from Belgium. This is going to be mighty close.

shinji · Post by **shinji** » 13 Sep 2011, 16:40

Two steady races and I go from 3rd to 6th.

Oh dear. Looks like, in the haste to overtake Phoenix to become the member with the highest number of posts (which will be short-lived, should eurobrun keep posting in the one word only thread

), Wizzie has forgotten about this. I filled in for him for a couple of races around June last year, so, if everyone is alright with it, I can post partial PP results for the remaining races in 2011, leaving Wizzie to compile the final standings.

If Wizzie stopped posting now, it would take precisely 334 days for eurobrun to catch him at the current rate. So he still has a fair cushion over him. Phoenix, on the other hand would only take about 25 days to catch Wizzie in these conditions.

Yes, I like statistics. Sue me.

EDIT: But if Wizzie keeps posting at this rate it would take eurobrun a good 562 days to catch him. And Phoenix could never do it since he is losing ground by the day.
