Most hearty congrats to you Ian, a worthy winner. :good:

And well done to the wiz for being a good sport and giving great prizes.  Wiz I nominate you for the Ron Dennis handicap award - no matter how hard you try all you get is the bar bill from the rest. :DD

Congratulations Ian!!  Great picks all year!   :good:

I second the Ron Dennis handicap award for Wiz.  You picked well all season and even used your double in a race you took a lot of points in.  Thanks again for creating this fantastic site, and offering such generous prizes.   :good: :good:

Thanks all, and yes, Wiz does deserve an award for being a great sport and overall top scorer. Plus well done to Dare for the idea last year and the work that has gone into by Dare and Rom.  :yahoo:

I would just like to add my congratulations to Ian for his superb picks in this year Grid Game, you're indeed a worthy champion.  :yahoo:

A massive thank you also goes out to Dare without whom the Grid Game would not be possible or indeed even exist. Thanks also to Rom for his help with the GG spreadsheet and for putting us out of our misery with his almost instantaneous updates in the chat room.

Well done to everyone who entered making 2008 the best (and most nail biting) Grid Game to date, watch out for next year, its going to be even better!  :good:

Well done, Ian! :yahoo: Congratulations

Thanks to Dare and GG Champ '07 Rom for running the game so well. With so many races decided off the track after the race was over, it hasn't been an easy year.

Congratulations to you too, Wizzo. A fine job in the game. Thank you vary much for putting on the game, putting up he prizes and giving all of us a place to hang out. :good:

Well done to Ian who is a worthy champion.


Thanks to Dare and Rom for all the hard work and the mid-season rule changes/updates that were introduced without any dissent when unusual situations occurred.  I think it was a lesson to the FIA in how to adapt to unexpected situations without upsetting anyone.

I am amazed at how close the majority of players are in this game when you conseider how many different drivers have won races or scored points over the season.
