No-one predicted the WCC this year.

1 Alan Baker 262
2 durian 260
3 Phil Carmody 254
4 a425couple 250

Already looking forward to next year. The last race of a season has
rarely made me feel this way in the last couple of decades...

As always, and as I'm sure many others are going to say:

Thanks for doing this!

It definitely adds some fun to the race weekends.

And next year: I promise to try harder to get all my picks in on time
(even though, if I'm honest, I'd probably have lost the pool if I'd gone
with the picks I had in mind 😜 )

Thanks for running the pool again, and I second that optimistic outlook.

Thank you for running the pool again Mark. I appreciate it.

All the best to you and yours for the holiday season and the new year.

Thank you for doing this. Great effort! Well done.

Despite the fact that I was really bad predictor ;)
But, it was fun.

I hope you will continue doing this next season.
There are only small group of us old farts on the Usenet, so keep it
rolling.

Wish you all the best!

Cheers from Zagreb, Croatia.

Well, it certainly was a year of variable fortunes for the teams and
drivers, with some really exciting racing taking place. Let's hope for
more next year!

Many thanks for running the pool once again, it adds greatly to the
interest of a race weekend.

Season's greetings to you and yours!

[Martin Harran]

Thanks yet again, Mark for the tireless work you out into this. Hope
you have a lovely restful Christmas and then back into the fray next
year :)

I was much too late to the party to join this year but I'm really
looking forward to taking part for the 2025 season! A friend and I just
had some informal predictions throughout the year and my heart
definitely influences my choices more than my mind :D

I know what you mean Eric. My pool choices are as much dictated by my heart as my mind as well.
