I've just been thinking about the overall thing and seeing as some people aren't making every race maybe it would be good to have several winners at the end.

2 main ones would be overall winner (most points) and best guesses winner (highest average points per race entered)

Other ones could include the highest points in one race weekend and perhaps a booby prize?

What do you think?

Dark Master - The end is now (2005/03/01) Officially Left

Sounds good to me.

Max points for one GP is 120 (8 * 10 + 8 * 5) but I dont think we will have anyone getting that high up.

You never know, you have to admit that there is a vague pattern occuring, oh and 1 in a million chances crop up 9 times out of 10!

I like your ideas. Just have to get the math into excel and then it's no problem!

It's already done. (Take a look at the F1-Challenge page)

I know why you suggested this... you want two overall winner badges! Acuracy and Points Total.

You! ...

Nope, I want it so that there is still an incentive for people to join in half way through.

My excuse for not doing too well this time is that I thought car 19 was Bruni, not Pantano.

Well, it's not really an excuse as I did think that. Who decided not to have a car 13 anyway? Silly superstitious nonsense. Oh well, I won't do it next time!

Would you want to be the one in car 13?

Actually, I'd be quite happy to have a go in any F-1 car but that's by the by smiley - winkeye

I wouldn't mind, as 1+3=4, which is my lucky number. But I can't drive.

That's almost as bad as the kid calling Herbie '8' in Spanish(?) because his number was 53 and 5+3=8! smiley - winkeye
