2004, 2005, 2008, 2010... not again, please! ;D
(sorry, that was a high ball)
It seems Duplode won't defend his title.
And it seems the season podium is almost sure -already in August!
(If everybody will be able to complete all the remaining races) I give 95% for a Biker, Duplode, CTG podium at the end. Differences will be huge.

Predicted scenario:
ZCT 145: 1 CTG (12+1), 2 Biker (11+2)... 4 Duplode (9)
Overall points: Biker 105, CTG 91, Duplode 72
The remaining races: Duplode 3-1-0, 5 pts LTB, 6 pts endurance (58 pts); Biker 1-3-0, 6 pts endurance, 7 pts LTB (58 pts); CTG 0-0-1, 4th place twice, 6th place once, no LTB, 6 pts endurance (41 pts)
Falling out points: Duplode 5+8+8=21, Biker 8+11+11=30, CTG 7+9+9=25
Overall points: Biker 133, Duplode 109, CTG 107
Biker will help Duplode with anything (not replays of course) to beat me. And maybe BJ and Rotoi, too.

This is definitely unexpected, maybe it's because I rarely send listfillers and only when I have the time/will to do it somewhat seriously
77.6% is still impressive.

Gotcha, Biker! ;D
After the confirmation of ZCT 146 replays, the final result of season 2013 will be more or less obvious. Let's see the pipsqueaks having at least mathematical chance for the overall podium.
Renato Biker
If he leaves out the last three races: 118 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12 (LOL): 124 pts
Worst results so far: 11 / 11 / 8 pts
Maximum: 136 pts
Even if CTG transforms into SSJ4 (three victories + 6 pts LTB, which sounds like a really bad joke), Biker needs only 4 points to secure his title.
CTG
If he leaves out the last three races: 103 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 109 pts
Worst results so far: 11 / 10 / 9 pts
Maximum: 121 pts
Sounds like a silver medal, unless I die / become crippled / go to prison / lose motivation / got disqualified / etc. If none of them happens, I'm going to complete all races in this season. Team competition, well... who cares? ;D
Duplode
If he leaves out the last three races: 81 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 87 pts
Worst results so far: 8 / 8 / 5 pts
Maximum: 108 pts
Solid 3rd place in overall, spiced with the slight possibility of catching CTG - but also keeping an eye on the very motivated Akoss Poo (at least during the next race).
Chulk
If he leaves out the last three races: 44 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 44 pts
Worst results so far: - / - / - pt
Maximum: 86 pts
Too bad, he missed several races... He should give a challenge to Mr. Poo / Friker / Rotoi / AbuRaf in getting the 4th place.
Akoss Poo
If he leaves out the last three races: 49 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 49 pts
Worst results so far: - / - / - pt
Maximum: 91 pts
The same as mentioned for Chulk... The only difference is the motivation level: nowadays the looping warrior is racing with a great elan. Hopefully he won't disappear in the next few months after a weaker performance.
Friker
If he leaves out the last three races: 45.09 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 48.09 pts
Worst results so far: 2 / 0.09 / - pts
Maximum: 88 pts
Another serious applicant for the 4th place - although he doesn't seem as motivated as he was in last season. Just to motivate him a bit: Yellow Fleas need every single points to win the team competition.
Alan Rotoi
If he leaves out the last three races: 51 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 57 pts
Worst results so far: 4 / 3 / 2 pts
Maximum: 90 pts
Doggy should take at least a single race seriously... I think Akoss and Friker would be glad to challenge him in the last rounds.
AbuRaf 70
If he leaves out the last three races: 54 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 60 pts
Worst results so far: 4 / 4 / 4 pts
Maximum: 90 pts
Don't forget about the doyen of our community, with a strong team unit behind him. Powergear races could increase his chance for the overall 4th place.
dreadnaut
If he leaves out the last three races: 45 pts
If he completes all the remaining races without finishing in TOP12: 51 pts
Worst results so far: 3 / 2 / 2 pts
Maximum: 86 pts
He's in a good position right before the last quarter. Maybe he's not so interested in the individual rankings, but I'm sure he'll try his best in the autumn to help the Fleas to the championship title.
And the team competition... well... it seems to be more exciting than the individual.
Yellow Fleas - Looping Warriors 160-158, could be an epic battle for the gold... Meanwhile, the match for the third place is also undecided: Meganium Aces High 121 pts, Cork's Crew 107 pts.
Fleas: one (+ almost one) individual title, also having the last year's runner-up (Friker), 19 ZakStunts victories by two winners... Maybe their performance is a bit unipolar lately, but both Friker and dreadnaut have the skills to beat the Loopings - especially with the expert help of Renato Biker.
Distribution of team score:
100 - Renato Biker
36 - Friker
19 - dreadnaut
5 - ADPunk
Loopings: one individual title, several seasonal podiums, 18 ZakStunts victories by three (!) winners... Two pipsqueaks with almost equal skills, but with internal rivalism and conflicts. Team unit is not as strong as it could be. However, Akoss Poo is getting better and better every month, increasing the chances of the archaic team to win their first (!) championship.
Distribution of team score:
100 - CTG
49 - Akoss Poo
9 - Usrin
Meganium: no active ZakStunts champions (Ayrton & Gutix on holidays?), but still 7 ZakStunts victories in the pocket - by two pipsqueaks. Not their best year, but they seem to be the most balanced team at the moment.
Distribution of team score:
50 - AbuRaf70
44 - Chulk
27 - Alan Rotoi
Corks: three championship titles and 17 victories on board (all by Duplode). The Brasilian has a relatively weak season - but still, his performance is enough to keep the team close to Meganium. Although DUP has the potential to win the remaining races, Cork's Crew will need something better from Zak (and maybe from the hibernated Bonsai Tree, too).
Distribution of team score:
79 - Duplode
28 - Zak McKracken
Wow. I feel like I'm reading a sports magazine about stunts :D

Worst results so far: 11 / 10 / 9 pts

Since that...
Renato Biker earned +1 point from the 10
th race endurance bonus. Moreover, he has already 318 hours leading time on ZCT147 (206 hours before quiet days), securing another +2 pts LTB. It means he'll have at least 121 pts at the end of the season.
CTG: +1 from endurance bonus, no chance for +2 LTB in this month. So, the best available score at the end of the season: 120 pts.
RENATO BIKER IS OFFICIALLY THE CHAMPION OF ZAKSTUNTS 2013!

My ego is bigger than yours! :P (and my Indy, too)
But the question was BRA vs ARG. Lack of concentration, Ivan?

Slight mathematical chance for the bronze medal. To be more realistic, he's the strongest candidate for the 4th place.

dreadnaut

From now he should focus on the teams competition.
And the teams:
180 - Looping Warriors (112 - CTG, 59 - POO, 9 - USR)
176 - Yellow Fleas (111 - RBI, 36 - FRI, 24 - DRE, 5 - ADP)
Quite a close one. The Fleas are in a bit worse position now with Friker's inactivity. But things can change very fast - especially with a YF magic carpet show...
136 - Meganium Aces High (52 - CHU, 50 - ABU, 34 - ROT)
Getting more and more balanced. And probably beating the Corks.
120 - Cork's Crew (88 - DUP, 32 - ZAK)
One Duplode is not enough for the podium... They still have the chance for the 3rd place, but it's quite tiny...

Teams:
200 - Looping Warriors
196 - Yellow Fleas
148 - Meganium Aces High
136 - Cork's Crew
Well... If we calculate with an "accidental" draw at the top, the Fleas can theoretically earn 24 pts from ZCT 149 - in this case, the Loopings will lose the championship (unless they also make a draw at the 3rd place ---> draw in the teams competition). We will see...
Although the newbie scoreboard did not work properly, here are the results of 2013:
12+12+12+11+12+12+11+12+12+12+12+12= 142 pts for dreadnaut
00+00+00+12+11+00+12+00+00+00+00+00= 35 pts for Miro
00+00+00+10+10+00+00+00+00+00+00+00= 20 pts for Mr. P.C.
11+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00= 11 pts for Goyo
00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+00+11= 11 pts for Kalifa
I guess from now dreadnaut shouldn't be considered as newbie. And a suggestion: newbie status should be based on the number of races ever completed - if somebody has less than 8/10/12 completed races at the beginning of the season, he should be included in the newbie scoreboard for the whole year.
Once you've had a pope, you can claim him for centuries. I know my tiny town does.
