Guess the Pole 2023 - Round 23 Abu Dhabi [+ RESULTS]

Bottom post of the previous page:

1:23:323

1:23.200

[megallos]

1:23.388

[Michael Ferner]

Oh, are we all going to have to use the same digits?

How about: 1'23.456"

Really hoping that Michael forgets to edit his time

I see this as a 'hanging chad' type of event.

Michael has seemingly edited his post. However, there is clear evidence of his initial intention as well.

I think The Fastlane Supreme Court will have to step in and invalidate the edit. 4:42:112 stands!

What has Chad done to deserve hanging?

"You can steel the accuracy championship from me, but you can't steel the love of the people!"

Sorry, you might have your supporters, and for decades to come people might say your victory was stolen. But after less than carefully reviewing things, we're awarding the entire 2023 season to @George Walker Bush!

Here are the guesses for today's session:



Best of luck to you all!

[erwin greven]

Again, as usual, a big failure for me.

[Everso Biggyballies]

So Max does a 1:23.445 which by my reckoning gives the biscuits to @Merkel Weiner for the umpteenth time this year.
Another rather splendid guess, and it seems congratulations and praise are in order. AGAIN.

Seriously Michael, well done. You didnt have to rub it in quite so emphatically!


(Unlike Michael whose edit this week was pretty handy, I am back to my usual tricks of taking what would have been a lot closer to the pole time to something I might not even trouble the scorers with. )

I actually thought that Erwin might have been on the money after FP3.

With a time 0.011 seconds away from Max Verstappen's pole time of 1:23.445, this weeks winner and The overall GTP champion is @Michael Ferner!! Great job sealing the deal this year Michael!

Thanks @XcraigX for once again this year stepping up to the plate and, come rain hail or shine, doing all the admin, from presentation of the background info through to collection of and correlation of all the guesses, in fact everything apart from provide our guesses in what is usually the most interesting and entertaining part of the GP weekends, usually more so than the actual races themselves. Its a great asset to the forum.

Appreciate all your input, commitment, and behind the scenes effort and valuable time, Craig. Im sure everyone here feels the same as I do.

It's been super fun all year playing this game, and I'm extremely proud to have prevailed in this ultra-competitive season! I set myself three goals to accomplish this year, and with this race I ticked off the last two: score my tenth individual career win, and take the accuracy championship together with points championship! Hurray!

No, seriously for a moment, well done Dont expect such an easy run next year. My resolution for 2024 will be to not be so awful at GTP.

Thanks to all others that took part and made it such a jolly little comp. You are all a competitive bunch, and unfortunately mostly better than me at it. But its th taking part thats fun..... the results are secondary. (Jeez I typed that last bit with my fingers crossed to cover my bullshit )

[Star]

First of all, HUGE thanks to @XcraigX for all your work on running this game for us. It's a task and a half I know, especially with so many races, but you never let us down. You're superstar


@Michael Ferner Congratulations on your wins. You were better than the rest of us and you deserved it.

Second points wise and on the podium for the accuracy isn't too bad I suppose, but be warned, I plan to bring my A game in 2024 and get the titles back again if I possibly can

Have a great off season all, see you back here in March to start this all over again. It's been a lot of fun playing against you all and I look forward to hopefully doing it again.

I'd happily set up a private league for Fastlane for us all. I'm in if you guys are

[PTRACER]

Congratulations Michael!! A victory as dominant as Max Verstappen's.
