This weeks winner is @erwin greven with a time 0.021 seconds away from Max Verstappen's pole time of 1:27.472!!
Amazing guess Mr. Greven!! Interesting to note Erwin's margin of victory was 0.001 over second place XcraigX.
The times were extremely close again this week. Perhaps we are all becoming GTP experts?

The full results:

=================================================================
In the Accuracy Championship, Picci has taken the lead with a couple podium spots in the first 2 rounds (a 2nd and 3rd).:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Points Championship, Everso BiggieBallies gets on top with a win last round and some points this time.

Thanks everyone for playing!! We finally get a bit of a break in the action as the Australian GP is in 2 weeks. Look for the new GTP thread next week!
