LM Pole Prediction (Closed - Now We Wait and See!) - Page 2

paulzinho · 16 Apr 2002, 20:09 (Ref:262465)

Mr aysedasi, we appear to be lacking a prediction from yourself!!

kdr · 17 Apr 2002, 08:56 (Ref:262791)

a 3:37.541 - racing for holland dome, thank you very much mr.aysedasi

TVRfan · 17 Apr 2002, 09:00 (Ref:262793)

3.30.000

Nordic · 17 Apr 2002, 10:36 (Ref:262865)

3.31.019 the track will be fast, the weather dry, the tires good.
I also think the top of the grid will be alot closer than of recent years.
We may not even have an Audi on Pole!!

Well done, out on a limb and it paid off!

Audi No. 2 3.30.296

At that's faster than the 1999 time. Since which we've had the new Dunlop stuff, the tightening of the Ford Chicane, the removal of the Mulsanne hump, and the Gurney on the back wings.

Can I change mine again?

SL · 6 May 2002, 21:04 (Ref:278850)

Think we all might wish to change our minds. Who is going to bet on a non Audi Pole ????

A stunner from MG maybe, that would be a turn up, all the drivers have the skill after all. Just have to remind Hughes and Reid they are not in touring cars that all.

Aha! I rather thought there might be some changing minds after that Audi time! (And others relatively close too!).

I guess you have a choice. Either I end the "pole poll", so to speak with those entries made up to 4th May, or we start again from scratch. I'm easy on it so over to you (bearing in mind that I haven't had a go yet, of course.......!).

By the way, my apologies for not being around for the last 36 hours or more. Its just coming up to 2 am now and this is the first time I've been able to get onto the forum for all that time.

paulzinho · 7 May 2002, 16:01 (Ref:279534)

Well if your allowed the benefit of a test day ayse I think we deserve the same!!

**Aysedasi** · 7 May 2002, 16:38 (Ref:279567)

Seems fair do's Paul! But I'm not going through all of the effort again unless I get a decent show of hands in favour of it......

paulzinho · 7 May 2002, 17:04 (Ref:279590)

*holds up 10 hands*

**Aysedasi** · 21 May 2002, 01:55 (Ref:291050)

Is everyone done on this? Bearing in mind that if I now put in my few penneth and anyone else does as well, I guess that means that we ought to start again? (If anyone's interested, that is?).

Alternatively, I could close this thread and post the guesses just before race week as I had planned? (Seems a bit daft though if we're all miles out!).

**Aysedasi** · 24 May 2002, 12:33 (Ref:294815)

OK, you've had 3 days and I reckon that's enough. I'm now closing this thread and I will post the fill list of entries separately on the weekend before race week.

**Aysedasi** · 4 Jun 2002, 12:02 (Ref:304343)

OK. Here is the (supposedly) final list.

3:29.723 - AdamAshmore
3:30.000 – TVRFan
3:30.296 – FG1
3:31.019 - Nordic
3:32.875 - Aysedasi
3:33.333 - Big Stu
3:33.863 - paulzinho
3:33.964 - rdjones
3:34.500 - Rick
3:34.721 - kdr
3:35.600 - Oversteer
3:36.018 - Muzza
3:36.124 - SL
3:36.200 - iucrmh
3:36.493 - hakkiman
3:37.012 - FastJoel31
3:39.500 - Fab

As the three fastest predictions have come in after the Test Day, I am going to re-open this thread and allow anyone who wishes to to amend their prediction. I will close the thread again on Friday. And just to keep Paulzinho happy - my guess is now in there!!

Fab · 4 Jun 2002, 16:45 (Ref:304595)

I'm REALLY ridiculous now !

And very pesimistic, obviously !

I'm even wrong for the 675 pole !!!

Hope could be quite accurate for GTS...

**Adam43** · 4 Jun 2002, 17:02 (Ref:304603)

Are they back open then? I missed the boat last time...

3:29.723

Yeah! A sub 3:30. It'll be an Audi and it'll be miles ahead of the others that won't bother setting a qualifying time.

kdr · 5 Jun 2002, 08:36 (Ref:305062)

ayse...checking the ten day weather forecast, i'd like to go down to 3.34.721 - dallara/judd. only fair i can change as it was before pq i posted.

Nordic · 5 Jun 2002, 09:10 (Ref:305083)

I would like to stick to my original time.

paulzinho · 5 Jun 2002, 09:59 (Ref:305110)

Can I change mine to a 3:33.863?

Fab · 5 Jun 2002, 15:32 (Ref:305376)

Hey ! The first Audi made 3'30 at PQ ! Or am I missing something ?

paulzinho · 5 Jun 2002, 16:45 (Ref:305424)

Yeah, I've gotta feeling it won't be that quick come next week!!

Fab · 5 Jun 2002, 17:39 (Ref:305471)

Have you ? I hope they'll break even the 99' record !

paulzinho · 5 Jun 2002, 20:04 (Ref:305608)

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens!!

I can't wait! And i'm not even going!! Look forward to seeing everyones photos though!

Enjoy!

They won't if they don't beat your guess Fab!!

Are you sure I can't tempt you to revise your guess?

(Or are you proedicting rain all day Wednesday and Thursday?

)

I'm balancing between extreme pessimism and extreme optimism !

But when I see the PQ time, I bet for less than 3'30, and put 3'29'500
