We have our final round with a Sprint in it coming up this weekend in Brazil. Predictions are now open. Please make sure you get your predictions in by Friday qualifying.

I have done a spreadsheet and worked out how we're doing on dropped scores. Imola (a non-Sprint round) was dropped, so we will take everyone's best three out of six Sprint round scores and drop one more score from the season. These are the current results if you drop everyone's worst three scores from a round with a Sprint and worst other score.

1. Born Racer Fan - 1487
2. Beau2 - 1409
3. Gnussi - 1349
4. smellysocks - 1373
5. Born Racer - 1363
6. Notso Swift - 1330
7. steve_r - 1350
8. TrapezeArtist - 1300
9. wolfhound - 1286
10. rika - 1256
11. Teretonga - 1187
12. Aysedasi - 1056
13. crmalcolm - 948
14. BTCC frog - 997
15. TCT - 784

The most interesting jump is smellysocks, who in this scenario leaps from 10th to 4th in the championship. Born Racer Fan has a 78 point lead instead of a 75 one.

Please also remember when doing your predictions (because I've seen a few mistakes):

Fastest lap is for teams.
The Rate the Grand Prix scores must be exact numbers (no decimals).
The number of finishers must be one of the following categories:

1-10 finishers - 25 points
11-15 finishers - 20 points
16-17 finishers - 2 points
18-19 finishers - 2 points
20 finishers - 15 points

Happy predicting, everyone!
