This time pirates are also an concern ( <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hR5jVDQ0CbLkey7LKBNb2qt63g_wD94LFEGG1">http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hR5jVDQ0CbLkey7LKBNb2qt63g_wD94LFEGG1<;/a> ), adding an additional unknown into the mix.

This race has already started, however there are still more than seven months left as of the time this question was created. Much could change. Who will end up winning this race?
