Pickem! 2007 Rallye Monte Carlo

[PuddleJumper]

Once more a new WRC season is about to begin which means that it's time to begin a new season of WRC Pickems!

Despite not winning a round of the competition in 2006, Benne was crowned champion thanks to some consistent good results. Do you think you can pick better in 2007? Prove yourself throughout the year and a 2007 rally annual could be yours.

========== ========== ========== ==========

The first event gets underway in just 2 weeks. Rallye Monte Carlo is the traditional season-opener, but this year the stages have moved further north and west to the mountains around the town of Valence. Will Marcus Grönholm repeat his win of 2006, or will Sébastien Loeb take victory driving the new Citroën C4 WRC?

Due to the change of forum software, the automated entry system requires reconfiguring. It is hoped that this will be operational soon, but until then, pickems must be submitted manually.

To make your entry, choose your top 8 finishers from the rally entry list shown at the end of this post. Submit your entry by making a new reply and listing your choices using the format shown below.

1. S Loeb
2. M Grönholm
3. M Hirvonen
4. M Stohl
5. D Sordo
6. P Solberg
7. X Pons
8. H Solberg

Please do not include any other text in your post.

Please make sure all names are copied exactly as they are shown in the entry list. If you make a mistake or wish to change your entries, please submit a new post. Changes will not be permitted after the closing time. In a change to 2006, this will be the time at which the shakedown session begins.

The closing time for Rallye Monte Carlo is 07:00 GMT [08:00 local time] on Thursday, January 18th.

Results will be published as soon as possible after the rally ends. A separate announcement will be made on the forum.
