Yea, if he had any real competition the laps times would be lower.

0.014 off pole time. I like my chances for some points :dunno:

I anticipated times would improve less due to the new date and Suzuka times in spring are usually slower than in the autumn :wink:

Yep, I think points are likely to be heading your way ;)

Personally, I'm glad he didn't. He was already too fast for my guess :sorrow:

Let's see if I can get it right this week. The guesses from yesterday are below:

I'll post the results as soon as I am done watching the race (into it now).
But shout if I made any errors in the times!

I meant more myself. I went for a 1:28.3 instead of 1:28.1

This weeks winner is @Vassago with a time 0.014 seconds away from Max Verstappen's pole time of 1:28.197! Nice job there Vassago!

Seems like the 1:28.2 times were the big scorers this week (but I guess 2 points for my 1:28.1 is better than nothing).

The full results:

=================================================================
In the Accuracy Championship, Picci widens his lead a bit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Points Championship, Picci again pulls out a bit on Señior BiggieBallies.

The Chinese GP will be a Sprint, but at least we have 2 weeks to brace ourselves for it. Look for the new thread next weekend!

Thanks for playing!!

Jeezus, a tenth away and just a point. A bit miffed that I edited what would have been a winning guess by that tenth.
Life can be so cruel. :tearful: :sick: :haha:

Well done @Vassago
