If you have not read through the rules and information thread, please do so, as the format is somewhat unique. Your submission should include your pole prediction for each class along with your pick(s) for each class winner. Reminder: You can pick up to three cars for your class winning choice. I have no set format for submitting your picks as long as it is easy to follow. A submission may look like this:

P1
Pole: Peugeot #7
Winner: Peugeot #8, Pescarolo #16

OR

GT1
Pole: Saleen #55
Winner: Aston Martin #50, Saleen #55, Corvette #72

All predictions should be in by 12:40pm local time Saturday, August 18th. This is two hours prior to qualifying. Good luck to everyone! :)

Why dont you try posting after the race ..... sure of good results then mate :p

Hey, qualifying hasnt even taken place yet. ;)

Lame. I couldn't log in all day yestarday. No matter what link I used I would always get a blank page. Even tried on 2 different computers at different locations. Not an excuse but just feel it was something out of my control and was hoping it was happening to everyone and not just me. oh well.

Good luck all :)

Looks like I got a perfect 4 for 4 in the race win column.

3 out of 4 for me

ThePenguin takes the win! ThePenquin and Jhansen took top honors in the qualifying pick while ThePenguin took top honors in the class win pick.

Well done everyone!

This is provisional, as I need to verify the timing of jaysalv’s post.

Looks like I missed the deadline. Here are my predictions anyway though.

I'm sorry Chris, but I wont be able to count that. As you know, it was past the deadline.

If it's any consolation, you did not lose any ground to the leader, as skycafe missed this round...

In fact, things should tighten up.

i think i just got in there didnt i posted at about 10.30 sat morn

as skycafe missed this round...

Irony is the handmaiden of procrastination

Jaysalv, your points stand. You made the deadline by a little over an hour.

phew!!!

I missed it too. Might be season over for me :(

Never give up! Go for round to round victories!

Wow, looking over the results and doing the numbers in my head, I think jaysalv, Bentley03, and myself are in a three way tie for third, with skycafe only 5 points ahead and jhansen shooting up into second...

Also, with SALEEN S7R missing this round, I'm alone atop the qualifying! My conservative approach is working!

a podium finish is good enough for me . are we including other alms rounds as well such as leguna seca?

im gonna be at silverstone for the next round so gonna do my homework on this one but i think its safe to say that as far as lmp1 goes deisels are points in the bag..

The last few races for the competition at Silverstone, Petit Le Mans, Laguna Seca, and the Mil Milhas.

It looks like it could go down to the wire, which is all we could ask for. It's also fitting that the final rounds are enduros for the most part. Points should be updated tonight, as I get my laptop back from the tech. guy today.

any consolation prizes for 2nd and 3rd ?

any consolation prizes for 2nd and 3rd ?

Yes indeed! Pride... ;)

anyone joining me at silverstone for the next round?
