2006 Grand Prix Competition

[Steve Turner 0]

Well ! Many surprises at the Czech GP, not least the line-up of the Final. Hans Andersen, Matej Zagar, Antonio Lindback and Jarek Hampel !

This caused the biggest swing of points this game has ever seen and was a major spanner in the works for the World No.1, who WAS leading the competition !

 

Congratulations go to Jason Crump for winning the minor championship...but we're far from finished in the big one

2 rounds to go...all to play for !

[Cougar Pirate 0]

[Guest PanthersChamp06]

Moved up to 12th thanks to Hans, if only I went with my gut feeling of Zagar

[London Witch 57]

Nice one, Cougar Pirate. Jarek did you proud.

 

I was really hoping that Sully would get to the final to earn Smiles mega points.

 

As for Leigh Adams. First and last time I go with him!

 

[Steve Turner 0]

First the bad news...

Star Lady, robbiec45, Lis, Heathcote, MattK, sarahlynch and Minianitsmall all dropped out of the race for this year's crown

 

Talking of bad news...

World No.1 woody-the-bee lost 70,000 Credits !

World No.3 smiles lost 40,000 ! {VERY unfortunate though}

World No.4 Subedei lost 20,000 !

and

World No.9 London Witch also lost 20,000 !

King's Lynn fan Star Lady lost all of her 18,000 on Crump and Gollob. Better luck next year mate...

 

On the plus side...

Cougar Pirate retakes the lead, after gaining 160,000 (!) Credits, thanks to Jarek Hampel.

Dark Horse won 71,000 !

full-throttle gained 70,000 !

 

NOBODY went for Lindback at all...but well done to Buzzybee for picking both Hampel AND Zagar. As did Crazy Munchie and J-D.

World No.2 drakey was the only other person to pick two finalists successfully. He went for Hans and Hampel, as I did unofficially, but surprisingly nobody else did !

[robpeasley 0]

Well, I normally stick with my initial gut reaction, but this time just as I went to press the send button, I changed Bjarne Pedersen's name to that of Jarek Hampel.

 

And it saved me from having just 200 credits left... and now I've shot up to 11th!!!

 

All the best

Rob

[Lis 0]

Hans and me will be back next year

Taking the oppertunity to thank steve for running this comp *drum roll* well done that man

[Steve Turner 0]

Thanks Lis...but I have to say I was amazed you went for Crump over Hans for this GP...what were you thinking !?

 

Good luck in '07

[Lis 0]

I thought Nicki would do summat tonight to defend his 3rd place and that crump would celebrate with a win how wrong can one be

Edited August 26, 2006 by Lis

[Dark Horse 1]

thank god and thank you jarek, wonder where i would have been if crumpy made the final

[Subedei 0]

Well, a bit of a disaster - Nicki P getting into mischief and Tomasz Gollob meekly surrendering in Ht 20. I thought about going with Hampel instead of TG, but I'm not capable of such a betrayal. Only surprise, to be honest, is that I'm still so high up the table.

[Star Lady 5,400]

At least I went out with a bang and not a whimper

 

Many thanks Steve for all your hard work to organise it all and as MacArthur said in the 1940s and some nondescript bit player said in a film ..... I'll be back

[Silver Bee 57]

I would have been just as well off staying with Nicholls instead of changing to Bjarne who was even outscored by Lubos !

 

Then Adams EF

 

Ah well.

[woody-the-bee 0]

Oh bugger

[buzzybee 0]

Fantastic GP for me!

 

from 20th to 7th in one go!

It was great seeing Jarek and Matej reach the final. But nothing beat the look on the world champions face as he lost his title
