Guess the Pole 2021 - Belgium (Round 12) [+Results]

#1

Post by XcraigX »

That was a quick break from my standing. Time to get back to the business of F1. The track at Spa-Francorchamps has always been a favorite of mine. I'm looking forward to this weekend and seeing what the new machinery can do around it. There was no race in 2020, so this should also be a real test for the old guessing noggin. Also, could we be in for our first wet Saturday of the 2021 season?? Good Luck!

(And just in case you are wondering, I accidently had 2 Round 6's causing the numbering to be off. It's fixed now.)

Put in your time guess at the link below before the deadline!

Oh crap, showers at Spa, that can make a huge difference to the lap time given this is the longest lap of the season. This is going to be crazy!!!

I'm going for a dry time and crossing my fingers :) If it rains, I could be up to about 20 seconds out :haha:

I was thinking about changing to a slower time but forgot. Time will tell if that was a good thing or not. I know it's supposed to drizzle whole day.

I went for a drying track time but looks like a 1:55 posted by @XcraigX may even be ambitious as the track is right now!

You win some, you lose some. I knew it was a gamble. Oh well, I'll try to do better next race.

Lol, even the slowest guess was some (as near as dammit) 4.5 seconds too ambitious! (says me, the armchair 'expert' who acts as chief onlooker!)

This weeks winner is xcraigx with a time 4.210 seconds away from Max Verstappen's very wet pole time of 1:59.765! Nice job me! For once I resisted the temptation to change my time just prior to the session.

The full results are below:

Code: Select all

Pts	Error	Guess	Player
10	04.210	1:55.555	xcraigx
6	04.765	1:55.000	TomDA

3	07.244	1:52.521	Mawerick
2	09.615	1:50.150	MonteCristo
1	10.665	1:49.100	Picci

0	15.930	1:43.835	Minardi
0	16.758	1:43.007	Star
0	18.391	1:41.374	Mikosyko
=================================================
The leader Mawerick put in a rain-ish time, but 2nd place Picci did not. So the top positions change a bit.

18.660	Picci
25.272	John
41.221	Mikosyko
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Points Championship, the top places stay the same, but Mawerick pulls a few points more ahead.

Code: Select all
