Idea for the pitstop bonusses...

I would like to propose an idea for the game's future pitstop predictions:
Instead of making it basically a huge gamble which can generate an out-of-proportion amount of points, i think it might be more attractive to create something similar to an actual pitstop window...
Keep the 5 points for a correctly predicted pitstop, but add more options to score points by giving one less point for a prediction that is one lap earlier or later.
And then two points less for being 2 rounds off.
And so on, creating an effective scoring window of 9 rounds.
For instance, an actual pitstop in round 14 would create these points:
r10-1p
r11-2p
r12-3p
r13-4p
r14-5p
r15-4p
r16-3p
r17-2p
r18-1p
Of course it could be made into a smaller window with lesser points available, if desired, but what do you guys think?
Cheers!

This seems like a very good idea. Thanks about it.
Lets discuss it to choose the best window size and points about it.
I would suggest something like the table below. Again based on your example where the pit stop was made at lap 14th.
That way if you guess the exact lap you can get at least 2 points more than closest predictions.

Lap | Points |
---|---|
11 | 1 |
12 | 2 |
13 | 3 |
14 | 5 |
15 | 3 |
16 | 2 |
17 | 1 |

That looks good to me! :)
Even better with the little points gap for the exact lap!

Good idea, Missing out by 1 lap you feel a bit robbed

I also like this idea, but feel the +/- 3 window should be a little smaller.
I reckon +/- 2 is a happy medium, as it gives a window of 5 laps.

Given how challenging it is to correctly guess the actual lap, I would support the +/- 3 window.

I agree with Jbone's line of thought. Using +/-2. Receiving 3 pts for almost getting it correct is to much of a reward for mediocrity.
