Two Worlds Challenge after 1st round (Sakhir - 15/04/2006)

1º - New World Forums - 171 points
2º - Old World Forums - 107 points

Congratulations to Mustafá Aibalababa (VT) and runshaw (TT), amazing round winners! Mentions to Race to Win (TT), best rookie on this round, and Sammyed (VT), who predicted Lapierre as Race 2 winner. Los Tuercas starts the Forum champ season where they finished, at the top, and New World Forums opens the Two Worlds Challenge leading the way.
Observations:
- Several Los Tuercas users wrongly posted Nelson Piquet Jr. on their Round 1 / Drivers Champ round predictions; it seems that they embrace hopes to see his rivalry with Bruno Senna on GP2 racetracks.
- Some concursants forgot to put poleman or fastest lap scorers in their predictions, or put twice a racer on them; remind that, in a race position or driver champ position predictions, double-posting a driver will null his name on your forecasts.
- GoBruno (TT) and badoer (LA) put their forecasts after deadline, then their Round 1 predictions weren't validated, but will be recognized GoBruno's predictions for Drivers Championship. - Bleu (TT), CarGo (LT), ChS (LT), hotwheels (TT), Morena (LT), OJB (TT) and Portugal_F1 (GL) posted predictions for Drivers Championship Round only.

I thank all concursants for the interest they show in this opening round, and for the patience after the delay.

Next round of the GP2 Two Worlds Prediction Competition will be opened soon, for next weekend at Barcelona, Spain which will be raced next May 12th and 13th. See ya!

Excellent stuff Mekola. thanks for the hard work posting the first round results!

So Los-Tuercas of Argentina dished out a bit of a pasting to everyone else there then?

Personally, glad to make a solid start to the season, although after qualifying it looked a bit of a lottery to be honest!

Yes and they will continue to do so as long as they have more competitors than we do. If you look at indavidual results however I think you can see that ten-tenths has more indaviduals at the top than the other forums do. If the competition here got heavier promotion then perhaps we could win the forums championship, as things are however the end result is likely to be the same as last year.

Well, the individuals gives a better picture, so just look at that if you wish.

A pretty crappy start to my title defence then.

Regarding the guy in second place, it is wonderful to have Simbas dad off Disneys "The Lion King" taking part!

Thanks mekola.

Knowlesy, I wonder if it would be possible to make the predictions rounds a Hot Topic during the appropriate time period? Just thinking out loud here but I personally think that sometimes the threads get lost amongst the sea of threads here in this forum. Who knows it could well boost entry numbers and give us a better chance of winning.

And yes thanks again Nicholas for running this fantastic championship.

You perfectionist! I was quite happy with that haul all things considered

[Knowlesy]

Well what you are satisified with and what I am are two different things chuntz.

SALEEN, I am not the man to ask about that. I'm sure my buddy above will consider it though!

[chunterer]

Yup fairdo's!

I'm sure bella and stephen will have noted the request and between us i'm sure we can flag it up appropriately in time for the next one.

Speaking of which I am on holiday for the last 2 weeks of May so will be seeking to get my entries in early if that's ok with you Mekola??!!

[Mekola]

It's ok, you could send them via mp or to the mail announced at the Rulebook section. Although Montecarlo round will be opened on May 13th, so you could have time to send predictions before your holidays.
