I will tally these results by tomorrow night hopefully. If I do and there isn't an outright winner, I'll sort out a smaller prediction comp for Gold Coast 600. Thanks goes for to scav for compiling the answers.

didn't the girls crash at forest elbow?

Ok so the results are in - better late than never. In some cases I have awarded points based on the level of accuracy such as podiums. Rather than give out all zeros, if someone picked one of the teams but not in the exact position, they would get points based on how close they were to getting it exactly right. EG. Someone picks Lowndes/Richards to finish 3rd, they get a few points, while someone who picked them to come first received more points. That all aside, the results are final and I did give Alsimo points for the question regarding the endurance of the super girl team as they did get to the checkered flag, but Hunter got the full points for almost nailing the lap count with 120 instead of 121.

Here are the results:

1. Woebe - 12.5 points
2. The Doc - 11 points
3. Hunter - 10.5 points
4. Alsimo/Scav - 9.5 points
5. z00lu/Drifter - 4 points

In summary, Alsimo should have followed through on his prediction of the winner putting Lowndes and co on the podium instead of AFL teams - this would have possibly made all the difference. And finally both myself and Drifter should never gamble.....

Woebe receives the title of "King of the Mountain" as well as the ability to contribute to the 2016 series for CANZ with some track selections!

Next time we will have some additional predictions and I will work on my questions so that everyone is able to answer them consistently, as some were a bit ambiguous....

thanks for taking part.
