Absolutely. The only criteria for LMS is weekly points score minus hits. The lowest hits the exit. If you’re lucky enough to still have a chip left and want to deploy it tactically to help in this league then that’s a valid strategy.

I've just noticed that the top of that flying slice of toast isn't toasted, so that high-tech machine failed Red's original requirement.

Hey Hutch,

You’re right and it’s something I noticed awhile back and posted somewhere in this thread. There was one too many teams left and then I took the decision not to eliminate anyone for the GW29 that never finished.
So, I think that means four teams will survive to the final week and then they’ll be ranked on the GW38 scores for the prizes.

It’s far from perfect, but by the time I noticed the initial error, it felt wrong to eliminate two teams in one week as there was a small number of teams left.

Interesting.

Presumably any remaining chips count for your weekly score?

August 3rd for me, so that all the first week warriors have gotten their facebook check-ins out of their system, and are plotted up back on the couch.

Gyms reopening on 25th July 

Who's going to be there on day 1?

And also dino is only in it to administer it so he doesn’t count either.

[Practice One Winner - Lewis Hamilton]

Thanks for the praise chaps 

Same circuit, same scenario, different race. Styrian GP time this weekend.

Unfortunately, there's not as much value as I had expected out there, but here are my suggestions.

Practice One Winner - Lewis Hamilton @ 6/4 & Valtteri Bottas @ 3/1 - Mercedes were 1-2 in all three practice sessions last weekend, and the closest anyone else got to P1 was Max Verstappen who was 0.283s behind in FP3, so I don't really understand why these prices are both so high. The chance of precipitation is under 10% so minimal risk there. I'm intending to bet both with 25 points each.

Fastest Qualifier - Valtteri Bottas @ 2/1 - it's pretty clear to almost everyone that Lewis is the quicker driver, and Valtteri's best chance to beat Lewis is over one lap rather than over a race distance. I'm surprised to see this priced as high as 2/1 given that he managed it last weekend. 10 points.

Race Winner - Lewis Hamilton @ EVS - I'm happy to take Lewis at EVS given the advantage Mercedes have got this year. 20 points.

Did you say 10p a toast Knotty? How old are you FFS?

I thought only bottom burps of my vintage could remember things like that.

Did it have butter on it BTW?

Things are very cheap in Stoke. Like the people.

Lets just say it was a 'few' years ago hey

It was when I had my 1st office job (YTS gives you a clue), and I would always rush to catch the train but would be too early to actually start work. Grabbing a decent coffee and (yes, buttered) slice of toast, set me up for the morning before commencing my working day. I also remember them discontinuing the toast and  had to venture out to cafes. They turned out not so cheap, so become a pay day treat, rather than my daily BR early morning visit.

I had to look YTS up but fair play, you do qualify as a boring old fart.

At least you don't still mentally convert 10p into two shillings.
