Bottom post of the previous page:

This is not your dad's Caesers Palace Parking Lot race!

I was there in 1982. It actually wasn't that bad (Phoenix was worse).

1:31.666

[erwin greven]

1:18.000 just a guess. Can be 10 seconds or 20 seconds too fast.

adding 20 sec.
1:38.001

[Picci]

Should have gone slightly faster…

Hey everyone! This week's guesses are below:



Best of luck to you all and the track surface!

[erwin greven]

hmm. will be a disaster again. Seeing the cars running low 1:30s. Had no clue what time to expect. Most of you are pretty close.

[Everso Biggyballies]

LECLERC POLE 1 32.776

I think I might have lucked one here with my 1:32.888. Im too scared to check closer and am sitting here with everything crossed!

@Everso Biggyballies Looks like you have it my friend

Very well done!!

@Michael Ferner, you were much closer than I was again, looks like you're on course to win the accuracy as well, congrats

Good job guys

[erwin greven]

Did you all saw an onboard lap before FP1. You are all close.

[Michael Ferner]

Thanks, Gill - I think I got lucky here, and got away with a black eye - I realized I was way too fast with my first guess, and then overreacted... still good enough for a few points, I think!

But, more importantly...

EVERSO WINS!!!!

VERY, VERY WELL DONE, MY FRIEND!

[Picci]

Congrats!! Well deserved

[Everso Biggyballies]

More to the point I won with an edit. Usually that only takes me further away. I knocked a full second off my initial guess and left it at that. Overcame all the late temptations to change it again just pre P1 on the basis that no one especially me had anything concrete to go on.

I also thought I was done when Leclerc went faster in Q2, but then the temps dropped for the last run and it turned out the quick laps were already done.

Shame I was so clueless for most of the other rounds earlier in the year.

Thanks all for your wishes. *Pours glass of celebratory red*

This week's winner is @Everso Biggyballies with a time 0.162 seconds away from Charles LeClerc's pole time of 1:32.726! Great job getting this one right on a brand new Track Chris!!!!

The full results:



============================================

In the Accuracy Championship, Michael Ferner pulls out a bit more on the rest of the field by ending in the points. However, it still remains close at the top and small numbers differences going into the final round may make a difference!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Points Championship, MICHAEL FERNER is the POINTS CHAMPION!!!
With only 1 more round, Michael has over a 20 point lead and no one can catch him with the remaining points available (lead of more than an exact guess with him not scoring). Congratulations on the win this year Michael!!!




Thanks for playing this round everyone! The final round (to decide the Accuracy Champ) will be next week at Abu Dhabi!! Look for the new thread tomorrow!

Edit:Spelling has never been my strong point.

Yep. Should have been easy considering I spelled it correctly a few sentences earlier.

Congrats to Merkel Weiner on his win for the year. Good job and as they say consistency is the way to a championship.

Gloat for now on your win.... next year wont be so easy. I now have the taste od success in my mouth .
Thanks @XcraigX for running it all plus well done and thanks to all who took part. Despite my overall pitiful performance it has been a very enjoyable part of the GP weekends.
