24/10/13 Unlimited World Final 2013 - WimbledonNightRX

**Lee606** Sat Oct 19, 2013 4:08 am

This years running of the TNB Unlimited World Final will be the 10th since TNB started all those years ago.
As it stands theres 4 previous winners who have qualified for the main event.760.321.108 & 127.Not forgetting the few who have finished 2nd,3rd & 4th over the years 27.390.606.33.Ludd is getting some great results lately so must be a favorite to take the flag.
That makes 8 cars from the 24 but throw in some drivers that are on form lately like 364,54.166.448 who all can go well and have a strong chance.
25 laps is a fair distance for 24 cars on track,Its quite wide so gives the people on oppo a chance to stop who they need to.If theres someone you want to stop,Its safe to say you should be able to before the distance runs its course.
Drivers like 742,267,757,121,177,740,182 etc all have the ability to keep going and get the job done if they can avoid the trouble.so dont be suprised to see a new driver crowned tomorrow night.
This year sees 3 drivers from over seas competing.321 & 713 from the Netherlands and for the first time ever Frediecast from Belguim has earned his place on the grid.Sadly we didnt see to much of defending champion Damo127 through the year but i wouldnt bet against him to retain if he comes to rod.
Most people say this is the league/final they want to win during the course of the year,looking at the form this could well be one of the hardest to win so far so whoever wins it its safe to say they will really deserve it.

I did send some PM's out to the qualifiers (thanks to those that returned them) At the bottom i asked them to make a prediction on who would win,heres what they all said.

760 - 6 votes
33 - 4
448 - 2
390
364
27
54
713
1
So there you go,Pressures on lads!

998 & 400 were also voted for but as they hadnt qualified the only way for them now is via the LCQs

My own personal prediction is 33.760.448,267,390 (if they all rod)

Anyways.Heres a form guide of all qualifiers.
