UPDATED RULES (01/07/2020)
Hello, and welcome to the only sweepstake for the Formula One season on GPRO! To play, it is very easy and only requires a few seconds/minutes of your time!
How to play
Firstly, you will have to send €1 to my account in order to pay for the entry fee (don't worry, I won't run with the money :D). Next, you will be allowed to choose a number between 1 and 20. The number you will choose will be corresponding with a driver that will be allocated a number between 1 and 20. Then, there are a few prizes for the three highest placed finishers (that are chosen) and also some other prizes so that if you get a relatively bad driver, you can still win a prize!
Here are the prize list:
PODIUM FINISHERS (rounded to the nearest Euro):
Highest finisher = 35% (if 20 players, it will be 7€)
Second highest = 20% (if 20 players, it will be 4€)
Third highest = 10% (if 20 players, it will be 2€)
Fastest Lap = 5% (if 20 players, it will be 1€)
Driver who advances most positions = 10%
The driver who has gained the most positions
Driver who finishes 10th = 5%
The driver who finishes 10th in a race (if retired or lapped)
Driver with the quickest overall pit-stop = 5%
The driver who has done the quickest pit-stop (including the drive in the pits, excluding driver-through penalties)
Driver who retires first = 5%
The driver who is shunted off/mechanical failure/magically sent off first. Will ONLY be awarded to the driver NOT in fault.
Good luck, and have fun!

Sorry Jun,but could you please be more explicit about the rules:
Numbers between 1 and ....
I don´t get who wins and how winning numbers are picked. (Maybe I'm not familiar with sweepstakes in England)

I'm guessing you pick a number from 1-24. Each number randomly corresponds to a driver on the grid. If your driver wins you get 50% of the pot (50% of 24 euro in this case = 12 euro) and so on...
(but it's a guess since Jun didn't actually bother explaining his sweepstake at all :/).

Won't it be a bit pointless once no's 1-6 have been taken or are they set randomly?

All the numbers are set randomly. Sorry, I just went out to buy a new pair of headphones.
Anyway:
I have randomly set the numbers 1-24 for all drivers. The driver you will get will determine whether you win or not. :)
And it will be 50% of whoever joins (so if 10 people joins, then €5 for the winner). :)

Remember to keep joining guys! Less than a day until it closes! If I do not have enough people, I will refund all the people their credits, and give an extra race credit as an apology, or just roll it onto the next race.... :)

Let us say.... 10-15 = No FL prize
16-24 = FL prize.
10 minimum then :)

Just thought of another prize, so that everyone who joins gets more for their own money :)
Driver who advances most positions - 2€ from my own account. :)

Jun - you might want to post all numbers in the OP and (if you can get mod rights for the thread to continue editing it after 30minutes) put names next to the numbers that have been chosen. Just makes it easier for new players to see what numbers are still available (and stops Admins trying to steal my number lol) :)
