releasing my car for the championship, let someone else have some actual fun with it

Is the car still free? If so, would I be allowed to take it for today?

Already claimed by Mick Chapman.

Okay

Actually, the Wolf should be free for tonight, no?

And a few people haven't confirmed their presence yet.

Do you mean the #20 Wolf? I just read the Entry List again and I saw the Wolf #20 is not taken by anyone actually, but I struggle a bit looking through all that

No. The Wolf is available for full timers who want to switch cars until the 24 Hr interval is up.
After that, it goes to the waiting list.

Damn, I forgot that

Too bad for Pascal.

It is possible that no one will have claimed the car before today's race, and that would make it available as a one-off. But in the meantime, it has to go through the procedure spelled out in the rules section.

So, for now, there's no real possibility for joining this race for me if I understand everything right? Hm.. Well Okay, maybe I'm fast enough for the next race for getting an one-off start

I am steel there with sloooooooooooooooooooow hesketch

Not necessarily.  Look at the main entry list and see which drivers have not confirmed in the race thread.  If they do not appear by race time, you can use their car.

Due to the chronic disconnects some have experienced at the start of past races, we are going to try something in today's race.  If a car or cars drop from the grid at the start of the formation lap, we will restart the weekend, proceed to warmup, re-enter the grid formation manually and try the start again.  So we won't eat up lots of time doing this, the traditional recon procedure will not be used.

Due to the time constraints of those in Europe who work the next day, we will only use this measure once, if at all.
Hopefully this will help those who have connection issues make the start.

By race time means when the qualifying starts or the race? (Probably stupid question, because when the race starts the session is closed)
Also, as I see, #7 Jean-Marie Placais is not confirmed; so if he doesn't appear today, I could use his McLaren?

By the warmup I'd say. Just keep an eye on the forum around 9pm CET, Jason or myself will post if a car is free, but I imagine the wolf will be.

Ok

Pascal, if no regular driver wants to switch to the Wolf before qualifying starts, you can race it today. I will post to confirm if you can on the forum when official qualifying starts okay.

Remember, this is a one off drive for you, it is not your full time car if you race it.

Please, could you tell me if it is possible to watch tonight GP in spectator, on the server ?

The race will be televised on our YouTube channel.

Please do not log on as a spectator, as that is reserved for the broadcasters.

Okay, no problem ...

Thank you Richard

Jan Titz has also expressed an interest in the Wolf for this race, but under the rules, it is only available to the full timers until the 24 hrs from moment of availability have expired.  Neither Pascal nor Jan have a superior claim to this car right now, but based on Richard's assessment above, we will need to give the car to Pascal for this race (provided no full timer asks to switch to it before qualifying). I apologize to Jan; we will make the rules more specific before round 4 so there is less confusion next time.

People on the waiting list dont have priority over others ??

Not when it comes to one off cars/drives, they are first come first serve.

The waiting list only gets priority when they are applying for a full time ride.
