Predict Pole Time (France - JayVee closest!)

Post by **Tim** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 11:17 pm

Its time again for you to have a crack at the Pole time on Saturday so lets see who can be closest to the Pole time this round.

Once again reminding everyone that qualifying now is with race fuel.

If someone gets a perfect match or near perfect (+/- 0.1 seconds), we'll give away a prize. And an even better prize if you get the time and the driver!

Please include the time to the 1000's of a second and the driver. You can if you wish include a wet time as well

For reference, the Pole time from 2004 in France (Magny Cours) was 1:13.698 (Fernando Alonso)

The Fine Print
One entry (dry and wet) per user with one change per condition allowed. Entries close prior to the start of first practice on Friday
The winner will be the one who manages to predict the closest time. You need to be within 0.1 seconds of pole time to be declared the winner.
In case of two players predicting the same time and driver, the player who submitted earlier will be the winner.
Changing time and/or driver is allowed only once and the change cannot be a max or min to try and gain advantage (eg. if the highest pole time posted is a 1:45.345, a player cannot change their time to a time above that)

Interesting that you say that Julian. Trulli was asked that question specifically yesterday at the FIA Thursday Press Conference,

Q: Now you had your first pole position with Toyota at the last race, but be honest with us, was there a little bit of a gamble on low fuel?
JT: No, not really, to be honest, because we didn?t know what was going to happen on Sunday, so we were not sure. The decision (not to race) was basically taken on Sunday, probably just before the race, and you just go out in qualifying and try to do your best and then think about tomorrow?s race, and this is what happened. I did an extremely good lap, everything went fine for me and for the team and the car. Obviously I?m sure there were some people heavier than me but I wasn?t so light.

But we'll never know!

Actual Qualifying time was 1:14.412 by Fernando Alonso.

The closest was JayVee .....

JayVee wrote:Alonso - 1:14.523

JayVee was just 0.111 seconds off the actual time. Unfortunately just outside the maximum 0.1 second required to win a prize. But well done again on picking the closest time.

Good luck in Britain everyone!
