As Neil no longer has the time / cares about his excellent side competition he ran between 2012-14, I decided to borrow the idea this year, and put it on a Formula One-related fanbase. So if anyone here is still interested in the same thing, the questions are here: https://goo.gl/forms/mp7W7yA5uuHhKg6B3

Well, I'm afraid lines closed on Friday, but you should have been able to access it before then. Very odd.

As for the rest of you, I got ONE reply from this forum. ONE. Which means it's either myself or Rob who takes the crown.
