GTP 2024 Round 3 - Australia [+RESULTS]
Back to the traditional start of the F1 season, it's time for Australia. I feel the changes to the track have improved the show. But the cars have let us down with the usual lack of competition. However, you never know who could be throwing a surprize here. It could end up being a non-RedBull front row. Or maybe I'm just dreaming?

We are losing players. Please gently encourage them to come back!?
The guesses for this week:
Please check your times for errors!
EDIT: See revised times with all missing guesses now added. No wonder I thought we were losing players, I left them off the list!
