Come on, I know Wizzie is late with this sometimes, but give him a chance to post it on time before you jump in.

Actually, I propose a new rule - whoever starts the thread has to do the scores. Take some effort away from Wizzie and East Londoner.

I know I have been incredibly unreliable when it comes to being the evil overlord of PP this year, but these are two races where I actually remembered Predicament Predictions for once, and would have posted the threads myself accordingly.

Still doesn't change the fact that the Mad Uncle's a lazy bastard and needs to get his arse to work on the standings though

What's the 'Bloody Roller Coaster'?

The "Fastest Roller Coaster in the world", the RingRacer was first launched at the 2009 German Grand Prix, with Michael S. one of the passengers. It then broke down. They still haven't actually opened it, four years on.

I was there at the GP in 2011 and the local media were querying why it wasn't working... Guess their pressure didn't go far as it still doesn't seem to be up and running... such as shame... Also the circuit not having much cash might have something to do with the roller coaster still being shut...
