Ramblings about forum progressions in the 2011 GP2 Asia Two Worlds Prediction Competition:

ClubF1: On its third season on Asia series, they claimed their first ever Forums Championship, thanks for the effort of their players. YUGOV was the best of them, as championship runner-up and twice round winner, plus lolo1977 and me as round winners also.

Ten-Tenths: The founder forum of TWPC competitions had a good season, despite not taking Forums Championship this time. Daisy was their only round winner, and the best of the forum was p-matt. They could take their revenge in the GP2 Main TWPC later this year.

CarAndDriverTheF1: The good mood of last year continued in the Asian season, and despite finishing third they got the Champion of the competition, Melendi, who also was round winner two times. It was excellent how they players combined synergy and finished close to the two best forums.

Autosport: At the starting round they were absent, but for the Championship and Sakhir (later Imola) rounds they made some presence. theTardis was their surprise best player. It was their first Asian season and they did not that bad, considering their low presence in the Competition.

Nextgen-Auto: The other debutant in the GP2 Asian prediction competitions had only one player, in the figure of Greimito. He played as he could, but didn't have help from other users. Then they finished on the bottom line into forums.

As a result, despite the GP2 Asia TWPC season was at their minimum ever expression, the Competition did a respectable success with hypes of activity in three of five forums that contested, and breaking the record of number of players at Imola round. And now, we'll start a hiatus until the eve of 2011 GP2 Main Series, with the start of its correspondent 2011 GP2 Two Worlds Prediction Competition, that will be run in the same forums as in 2010, along a probably newcomers. Thus the European season is coming on, and we'll have to prepare to affront it.
