Thanks, I was wondering about that. I think it's worth the risk. If my transfers total doesn't reset tomorrow I can always send a complaint and that gives them almost 2 weeks to fix it.

 

Bonus track reminder: The window to pick a new bonus track for the final five races (Japan, Korea, India, Abu Dhabi and Brazil) is almost closed and four of us haven't yet done the deed. I think the window closes along with the pre-quali transfer window (1200 EST, this Friday) but I'm not certain about that...given the quirkiness of the bonus track biz so far I wouldn't be surprised if it closes sooner...without warning. I recommend going in there to make that pick right away.

 

It bothers me that it costs a transfer, it shouldn't. I've lost them the same way until this round. As Jerry pointed out, there seems to be a glitch in the code allowing you to pick your new bonus race right after the last race of the previous round but before they reset the transfers for the next race by spending a transfer left over from the race that just ended...if you didn't use them all for the race. I know it's too late to do any good this season, just saying.

 

Looks like most of us dropped a bit but we still have 2 in the top 10 and the M/A league is up to 4th overall.

I'll play again next year as well, but I'm also going to look around for a very simple one where all the points come from guessing who will finish P1, P2, P3, etc. That's a completely different type of game but I've played that sort before and enjoyed it as much as this one where race come-backs from poor qualifying or penalty demotion often trump winning. I like both sorts though so would probably play both.

 

Here's a candidate on my list for next year. As mentioned above I'll probably pick one other to play in addition to Speed's game.

Castrol Edge Grand Prix Predictor: powered by Autosport

You pick the top 10 finishers for each race and score 10 points if a driver finishes where you predicted, 5 if you were one position off, 2 points if you were two places away, 0 for all others. Seems very simple on the surface but I haven't read the whole thing.

I'm not in it for the prizes and I'm not sure what they might be -- again, I haven't studied this one fully -- but I know the season winner wins BIG plus there are apparently bonus prizes up for grabs throughout the season.
