I've done the IRl contest like this for a few years now...It makes you think far beyond the usual Pole & Podium types of contests to allow for race strategy as well as to score points in a variety of different ways.
Try it and see if you like it. |

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Newman Haas Lanigan has withdrawn Graham Rahal's entry for this weekend because his car was too badly damaged from his wreck in testing and they don't have enough spares and don't have a backup yet. I've PM'ed drewdawg to change his "1st Out" pick. I also PM'ed NAC to change his selections that include Alex Lloyd, because he is not on the entry list for this race. |
