Wow, look at that cloud...

So, these are the results of the 2014 Grand Prix of Indianapolis:

o- Winner ($ 1,000): Pagenaud (3 to 1).
o- Podium ($ 300): Pagenaud (3 to 1), Hunter-Reay (3 to 1), Castroneves (3 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 50): Bourdais (20 to 1), Kimball (50 to 1), Briscoe (20 to 1), Hawksworth (50 to 1), Power (3 to 1), Sato (10 to 1), Kanaan (10 to 1).
o- Belt Challenge ($ 100) - Hunter-Reay (3 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100) - Honda (4 to 1).

Nobody chose Pagenaud for the win or podium. Skells22 and NaBUru38 got 900 for picking Hunter-Reay for the podium. NaBUru38, Teretonga and DRT earned $ 1,000 for choosing Briscoe for the top 10, whereas MTAR and WAT cashed $ 2,500 for selecting Hawksworth and Kimball respectively.

Six out of eight betters got 300 for picking Hunter-Reay for the Belt Challenge, and five got $ 400 for picking Honda for the win.

Here's the resulos of the rounf 4 Indianapolis GP:

1st - WAT: 0 + 0 + 2,500 + 300 + 400 = $ 3,200.
2ns - MTAR: 0 + 0 + 2,500 + 300 + 0 = 2,800.
3rd - NaBUru38: 0 + 900 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 = $ 1,900.
4th - Teretonga: 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 + 400 = $ 1,700.
5th - DRT: 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 + 400 = $ 1,700.
6th - Skells22: 0 + 900 + 0 + 0 + 400 = $ 1,300.
7th - Icemachine: 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 400 = $ 700.
8th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 0 = $ 300.

WAT dove late and beat narrowly MTAR. I got my first podium of the year.

Standings after round 4:

1st - DRT: $ 14,200
2nd - MTAR: $ 13,600
3rd - Teretonga: $ 9,000

DRT has seen the margin reduced to MTAR. Salamus is now in 3rd palce. WAT has climbed from 10th to 5th.
