Thanks for a great competition Gerard. It kept me on edge right up till when Rubens had smoke pouring out of his car - that dnf cost me 3 valuable points and probably the championship. :( :( :(

Don't despair VB, your only 4 points off the lead, not to shabby at all. As for me, I'm not in contention to win so I'm just having fun with this competition. Next year I'll be back to posting predictions that are a bit more realistic and accurate.

Hang on, I've missed two races and I'm SEVENTH??? EH??? :confused:

Jay = idiot

This would be true after he was so busy he forgot to post his predictions for this week. But then again, I already have a lovely Ten-Tenths polo. Someone else should get one ;).

I wouldn't say that's it just yet Valve Bounce. I was also on the edge of my chair here in NASCAR land and pretty much in the depths of competition despair until the Ferrari gave it up. Four points isn't much to make me feel safe.

After all my gut wrenching thinking about Schumi gifting the win and all that for my prediction, I found it very humbling that I got the points because my choice for winner couldn't finish. This thing is so unpredictble that even GT_R, Ferrari Girl or Russian Friend could come up with the points to win.

If I win, I promise to drink a Foster's to a good competition till the last race. If I lose, I'll still drink a Foster's to your health (I do happen to like Foster's, so I would find a good reason either way).

I do agree that we all owe a lot of gratitiude to Gerard for making this happen. In the meantime,

Cheers,

RT

:) :)

I love Fosters, but lately, my favourite is Penfolds Bin 128. Check it out. I can get it on special here for less than US$10. It is called "The poor man's Grange".
I just couldn't believe that 3 of my points went up in smoke with Rubens Ferrari :(

MIKA MIKA MIKA!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Blimey, three points from one race??? Must be a miracle...

;)
