Do you have the talent to predict the specific race time of the number 1 driver on September 1st Formula 1 Grand Prix Belgium? That would be awesome, since you can win a complete trip to Abu Dhabi, and attend the 2019 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Grand Prix Abu Dhabi!

Good luck everybody :)

  • Race time..? Do they mean lap time or overall duration of the race?

    The T&Cs are generic and don't state either way. I presume the complete race time as they mention hours. If it's pouring down, 2 hours dead :)

  • Nevermind, answered my own question.
    Last year Lewis Hamilton completed it in 1:39:40.382 just to give people a ball park figure to work from
  • I can’t find an ‘enter’ section - anyone know how to actually enter this competition?

    Vettel won the race. Or am I confused?

    No, you're right :) Vettel won the Belgian Grand Prix in 1:23:34.476 and the question is asking entrants to predict the Belgian Grand Prix time for this year (since it takes place this weekend), so that's the correct guide time.



    The prize is for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which last year Hamilton won in 1:39:40.382, but the question isn't about that one (because should you win that's the one you'd attend, so they couldn't wait until then to chose a winner from predictions of that one :D ), so using that time wouldn't have helped with predictions, sorry :)

    Thanks :)



    From T&Cs: With multiple participants with the same time, one winner is drawn.


    I didn't win.....although I did enter with 1:23:45 literally just because it's sequential, but I'm guessing that's quite a common way of "guessing", so there were probably a few of us in the draw at the end! :rotfl:


    EDIT: Just checked their Facebook account and it says there were 35 of us with the correct guess! :D
  • I had 1;23;45 as well!


    I assumed their were others with same time as they didn't send me a congrats email! ;-(


    Thanks for you post; Just had a look at their FB page
