Nope. There was no donation with this guess. Mguby, check out http://www.gtr.co.uk/products-52-toV..._top_gear.html

It's not going to be quicker than 1:17.7 so no. 1:22.4 would make the GTR faster than some seriously quick cars, Noble M15, Murcielago, Zonda, Koenigsegg etc etc.

Still think it will be wet, damp, oil, or something to make it slower - don't trust JC as far as I can dribble, and it's his show!!

[Chamber]

i admit i am optimistic in that prediction but what have i got to lose, some of it's going to charity at least or all depending on who wins i think, if its wet i'm guessing it would be a 1:20.8

[First]

Ok I paid. Its under Order ID: 4DAC816F-9DEEB323-BF662F04-4D9A7962

Cheers! For charity!

[rblvjenkins]

Just paid my £5 - if I win it'll all go back to the charity. I'm the 1.20.3 listed as bkvj above....if anyone can change colour to red please do so!

[tomgtr]

Sorry should have put my forum name on order but forgot.

Order ID: 8EB16583-D911ED46-BD00B03C-01FB83D0

I doubled to 10, if I win all goes to charity. Can you put down a 1.19.5 for me please.

[Chamber]

aren't we taking a chance on the weather being dry or wet, if we said a dry time and it turns out to be wet(mild/very/greasy whatever) then our guesses are pointless and vice versa

can they be put for a time for both weather types? (DRY/WET) so mine would be 1:17.7/1:20.8

can we have a dry and wet times list? or is that besides the point......the other way is to have 2 individual predictions

[Redlineash]

I've just donated.

Stick to my original time of 1 minute 20.8seconds.

1.20.8 Redlineash.

Thanks for organising chaps!

Ash

[supraman]

rblvjenkins, First, Redlineash and tomgtr have all submitted their guesses.

We've now had:

26 regular guesses (26 x £5) = £130
5 additional contributions to the charity (5 x £5) = £25

So, the prize fund is as follows:

£52 to the winner
£26 to the runner-up
£13 to 3rd-place
£39 + £25 = £64 to charity

Thanks for the extra fiver. You can have another guess if you want, perhaps for a damp/wet track?

[tomgtr]

Looking at recent summers not a bad idea! 1.20.5 on a wet track then please.
