  1. Come on, I'm going to have to take my medicine this morning... just don't got OTT 🙏 😂
  2. Well why didn't somebody just say this 😉 I'm not going to lie... it still makes my head hurt especially when it comes to the final GP when it's all settled. I probably need to lay off the alcohol when I'm watching it I obviously need all my wits about me and my full attention!
  3. Hang on a minute... am I misunderstanding this? If I finish with 5 heat points and qualify for LCQ1 and you finish with 11 points and qualify for LCQ2 and we both finish 2nd in our respective LCQ's you get 1 more point on the basis that you outscored me in the heat qualifiers?
  4. I think some clubs saw it as a battle of the haves and have nots... but here we are some 30 years later in the same position only with half the tracks still running!
  5. It's not difficult to understand at all... but it's not better to finish 4th than 6th, 8th or 9th in the qualifiers as this puts you in LCQ2 with less points on offer. Your destiny is in your own hands finishing 1st to 4th in the overall meeting, whereas 5th to 10th seems to be a bit of a lottery.
  6. So you're better to finish 3rd, 6th, 8th or 9th in the heats than 4th, 5th, 7th or 10th because that'll put you in LCQ1 where the points for finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th in that race is 1 point more than it is in LCQ2. Finish 4th in the heats and you're in LCQ2 finish 9th and you're in LCQ1... finish 2nd in either and 4th highest race points scorer gets 11 points and 9th highest gets 12 🤷‍♂️ But then you could finish 10th in the heats and win the bloody thing... I'm sorry it's just wrong in my book. I think I'd just prefer it if the same points were awarded for finishing 2nd, 3rd & 4th in the LCQ's. Ideally they'd be racing each other for the points but that doesn't seem to be the way these days. Good GP tonight though for what it was 👍🏻
  7. Tyre blow out of the season award? 🤔
  8. The choice of guest is so limited these days thanks to the size of the league, who's going to guest for Bewley? Irreplaceable really, maybe Fricke, but realistically it's going to be the likes of Masters, Brennan, Cook, King or Harris etc.
  9. Didn't see Lemo in the Prague pits tonight 😂
  10. I'll grant you, you do need a degree in rocket science to understand this 5h1t... but really it's better to be appearing in LCQ1 than it is LCQ2 no matter what you've scored in the hearts because you just get a chance to score an extra point more for finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th than you would finishing in the same race position in LCQ2.
  11. I've added to that post above... but that's my point, he couldn't have engineered it... could he? Or could he? Should he have to? How would he know, it's just down to luck... and if it goes down to a point again, is that anyway to settle a World Championship? Be interesting to know what happened last year with Kurtz and Zmarzlik 🤔
  12. They both finished 2nd in their Elsie Kew's and Holder gets 12 GP points and Woryna 11.... If Woryna had scored less points in his heats to make sure he appeared in Elsie Kew 1 and came 2nd he would have got 12 GP points instead of his 11... or have I got that wrong?
  13. Yes, but... if Woryna had engineered his points and scored less in the heats, 7 or 8 like Lebedevs and Fricke he gets into Elsie Kew 1 and has the chance to score an extra point... crazy!
  14. What I'll never understand is how Jack Holder scores 11 race points, Woryna 9 & Kurtz 9 yet the GP points awarded are 12, 11 & 18 respectively. Even if I can get over riders getting more points in the final both Holder & Woryna came 2nd in the Elsie Kew's, one gets 12 points the other gets 11... could Woryna really have engineered his finishing position to make sure he finished in Elsie Kew 1 to secure more points than appearing in Elsie Kew 2 🤷‍♂️ If he'd scored that extra point he'd be sharing the Golden (ish) race jacket. And we all know the Championship was only settled by a single point last season. It's all just too random for me!
  15. Classic GP that... it's been a long time coming! 👍🏻
  16. If he hadn't have got injured last week he definitely would have done tonight!
  17. Easily the best Czech GP since the early days 👍🏻
  18. Bartosz being strong armed into interviews this season?
  19. Is he there? I've not seen him yet and the cameras love him... is he on his hols with Harry Redknapp?
