Pickems for RBR Rally Australia

[jimakos]

Countdown to the start of rally begun...
How about some pickems for RBR Australia event?

It's very simple: Post the wining row - from 1 to 13 -
based on entry list, after checking season's standings to get some help...
You may post your pickems, starting today, 'till results published on Wed 22 July.

Pickems point system:
For the winner, you get 50pts
For each right driver to the right position, you get 25 pts
For each top 8 driver, you get 5pts

If you guess the correct top 8 , you get extra 100pts


That's all! Hope you like the Idea!

Hi guys. What hell a event You have choosen to gues standings :D It's impossible. All I would say is ProdNotMod is going to be high in standings. I would even pick him for a winner- I have played for a short while on czech rbr plugin, and N group drivers were always fast. Those stages especially won't give WRC much advantage, so I assume He is going to be on the podium for sure!
Good luck!

LOL !! You wouldn't be saying that if you saw my car after the practice runs through Greenhills :!: :blackeye: :D

[ProductionCup]

It's not been hard to be close in predicting the F1 results (my picks have always been Button / Vettel / Barichello) but for 13 rally drivers, all an unknown quantity to me.....well........

Like people (motorsport journos) do, i'll predict on the basis of equipment.
I'm expecting the Citroens to go well, and the Focus. Unfortunately Subs tend to be very varied so its really difficult to pick the best.

1) Bruce D
2)Raybak
3) LCD
4) S.Bera
5) Fred 05
6) jimakos
7) J4mie
8) Steve_spackman
9) Hoofhearted
10) Myself (ProdNotMod aka ProductionCup)
11)bennizw
12)NeverKnow
13) Redrover

Some people are bound to have a bad rally, others may start well then have a disastarous stage that messes everything up (I do that), and others will be rocked-propelled..........

[ProductionCup]

:mad: !! OOPS !!! I meant "rocket-propelled" !! :D

[steve_spackman]

From what i have seen, i will be in either 8th, 9th or 10th place. I am hoping to be around that, we shall see

As for pickems, its hard to place people due to a few new comers to the championship.

Lets just say that i will not be on the podium ha ha.

I can for sure say that LCD, Bruce D and Raybak will be the front runners

I don't know why people are predicting I'll be up as high as 6th; I'm gonna be about 10th....... but as long as I'm not last I'll be happy ;)

Thanks all mates who participated!!

[lcd]

I can see a lot of 5's there! :D :D :D
Unbelievable you got top 3 mate! :eek:

[jimakos]

Well,it seems pickems don't interest many people.
I'm wandering if it's a good idea to do them again :?:

[raybak]

Yeah keep doing it, "build it and they will come". Looks like i can do ok in the Pickems :)

Ray

[jimakos]

Thank you Ray!!Well done in pickems.
I liked very much the word build...
You are right, I have to make it a lot of times
to create my own ''audience''
Hope for more opinions :)

[ProductionCup]

Well,it seems pickems don't interest many people.
I'm wandering if it's a good idea to do them again :?:

I'm more interested in them now I've actually got some correct!! :)

I'm looking forward to France RBR Pickems because most of the rallies are loose-surface and RBR tarmac is very different and specialised. It will be a complete lottery to pick even just a few correct results!! :)
