The First Official n7thGear Formula 1 Thunda From Downunda

Welcome racers! We are excited to announce this challenge, albeit at the 11th hour, to say Thank You to our favorite people, you. Don't be upset if you miss out on this one, we have a whole season of fun planned. This one will be quick and dirty and fun. We will only be having a challenge for this, the season opener, and the final race of the season. The way it works is simple. You will be attempting to pick the podium. You will pick your teams and the drivers from those teams you are expecting to win. Correctly picked teams earn you 10 points each. Each driver you choose that makes it to the podium earns you 20 points. Each team that you have situated in the correct place on the podium is worth 10 additional points, drivers 20 additional points.

Example: Actual Results
1st: Mercedes/Hamilton
2nd: McLaren/Alonso
3rd: Ferrari/Vettel

You picked:
1st: McLaren/Button
2nd: Red Bull/Ricciardo
3rd: Ferrari/Vettel

In this scenario, you scored 70 points. You got 10 points for a McLaren podium, but 0 for Button instead of Alonso
You got 0 for Red Bull/Ricciardo
You got 10 points for Ferrari and 20 points for Vettel, plus an additional 10 and 20 for picking their correct placement on the podium.
It is permissible to pick 1 team with both drivers ie: Mercedes/Hamilton and Mercedes/Rosberg.

IN CASE OF TIE: PLEASE INCLUDE A PREDICTION OF THE NUMBER OF SAFTEY CARS AND THE NUMBER OF DNF'S IN YOUR POST:
PLEASE ALSO CAST A VOTE EACH FOR THE NUMBER OF SATEY CAR LAPS AND THE NUMBER OF CARS WHO DNF.
THESE VOTES WILL ONLY BE COUNTED IN THE EVENT OF A TIE AS A TIE BREAKER. SAFTEY CAR LAPS WILL BE COUNTED FIRST. IF A TIE STILL REMAINS THEN DNF WILL BE COUNTED. 1 POINT EACH.

Now we get to the really fun part. The schwag! As seen below, winners will receive Official FIA F1 gear from our great partner, Speedgear.com, compliments of n7thGear Motorsports™
SHIPPING is AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

Winners will be chosen based on points. Top 5 scorers are winners. Prizes are as follows:

Constructors Champion (5th place) $45.00 US
The Cuz Cup (4th place) $55.00 US
The JoséRita Glass (3rd place) $65.00 US
All BetTING's Off (2nd place) $75.00 US
The Prestigious n7thGear Trophy (1st place) $125.00 US

As you can see, we appreciate the time you spend with us, and we hope this shows just a little bit of how much you mean to us, and how much we want you all to hang around and share your passion for speed and technology. In fact, to encourage you to do that, we will be offering bonus points to members who create a post in this thread to share their thoughts. Tell us about your favorite team or driver. Or your favorite car, or track. Tell us what a wonderful job Bernie E is doing. Whatever. You will receive 2 points per DESCRIPTIVE post. Meaning, you teach us something, or make a statement and support that statement with some facts or your opinions. Writing "I like Ferrari" won't count. Pictures won't hurt either, as several of us are Southern Americans.

As I said before, we are running a little late getting this up. Stay tuned and keep an eye peeled on the FIA WEC section here. There we will be running a season long, race by race, version of this challenge, along with the opportunity to pick Driver's and Constructor's World Champions. That promises to be a fantastic challenge and we look forward to seeing you there. ~stig cuz

The Schwag! This includes but is not limited to some of the awesome prizes that you could win.

Rules

All welcome to participate, however all entrants must be registered forum members of ompracing.boards.net in order to receive prizes.
No need to post personal information in this thread. Exchange information with admin or mods, should you win.
It is also possible to only supply a valid email address, so that shipping arrangements can be arranged only through the select merchants we have chosen, for any privacy concerns.

Must be 18 or older in order for us to ask you for your address to ship prizes. We certainly don't want to exclude if you are under 18. You may participate and we'd love you to. We will just need to correspond with a parent or legal guardian to ship any prize that you win.
Race weekend predictions must be made before The green flag falls

* You cannot alter your prediction once it is made (ie your first prediction will be used based on the time stamp of your post).

The points will be awarded in a 'cross the line' unofficial results basis (ie not the classified results), to avoid complicating the points results by having to amend them when possible disqualifications, time penalties and politics come into play after the race has finished.

Disclaimer: This contest is not in any way affiliated with or sanctioned by the FIA or Formula 1 organization and is wholly owned and operated by n7thGear Motorsports™

This contest is LiVE. You can post your predictions below. Tables will be created later. Thank you for participating!

For your reference:

NOTE:
As you know, F. Alonso is not racing in Melbourne.

Congratulations to our winners. Due to Stigman & Wesley both being extremely knowledgeable, and our failure to consider the possibility of a tie, management has graciously decided to award to 1st Place prizes! This does not affect the lower ranked members, so there is no second place. Texan is third, pope fourth, and ting is fifth.
thanks for playing and we will be in touch with you soon regarding payout.

I see my permanent warning status has been raised back into double digits. No doubt for my misuse of the word "to" instead of "two" in the post above. I was running on ZERO sleep but I'll take my lumps nonetheless
