There's a grand prix at the oesterreichring, probably 78 or 79 with a huge 'styria' banner above the crest at the top of the circuit.

The name reminds me of that rather than this bastardised version of the track

Never too late! While you may not be eligible for the Accuracy Champioship, the Points Championship is wide open and is often won by a player with only a few wins, but consistent points hauls.

It would also be a good idea to get into the correct head space before attempting a serious run at both titles next year. Think of it as a driver being called up from F2 mid-season.

0	15.509	1:19.350	Mikosyko
===========================================================
In the Accuracy Championship, Mawerick takes over the lead, as our previous leader Mikosyko believed the rain would come.

19.626	Mikosyko
One point to remember is that it takes just one round where the weather throws everyone off to take the Accuracy Championship. We've seen this be the deciding factor in previous years. So please keep the guesses coming as it's not "over: until it's over!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Points Championship, Mikosyko holds on to the lead as we had a different winner again this week. But Mawerick is catching up with a nice 2nd place.

Thanks everyone for playing!
The Austrian GP round will be posted later today and the guessing slot is already available on the database. Please remember that the Austrian GP is next weekend with the cutoff time being THIS COMING FRIDAY!

No I didn't take a chance with the weather, I always look at the previous year's pole time you mention in the main post and base my guess around that, having forgotten that last year was a wet session...😐😉
