Formula One 2014 Side Competition ENTRIES

Post by tubeguru »

OK, so we have several entries for this year's side competition, with some interesting answers given. There are a few things to point out.

First, I selected my choices three days ago, and did not "cheat" by looking at other people's entries.
Second, Hopeless Traveller was the first person to submit - almost a month before anyone else. He submitted after the Jerez test, but before any of the Bahrain tests, and so therefore may have jumped the gun a bit. Then again, he may have given the "correct" answers.
Third, an anonymous person who is not a forum member was invited to play, and his entry has been submitted under the name "Mr Foobar".
