I feel like an idiot-certainly had the speed to make it...but had 3 laps in mind instead of 4...

Kudos to Jason and Richard.....very ice job fellas..... :clap:

Qualifying is finished.

Well done to everyone who made the field.

Unlucky to those who didn't

Fantastic broadcast and great organisation today! Felt like a proper Pole Day and Bump Day in one! Glad to have made the field, but I really have to up my game for the race. :cowboy:

Bravo guys
you are all awesome!

Nice job on the broadcast uys :clap:

Subject: Great Stuff! Sun 15 May 2016 - 23:58

Qualifying was fantastic! And the announcing on the live stream was even better -- MUCH better than the "professional" boobs who call real life qualifying on the television! :drink:

I ended up slightly deeper in the field than I wanted to be. But with some of the high-powered equipment having troubles early in the day, I guess I laid up and kept it conservative.

I salute everybody who made an attempt(s)! There was some very daring driving going on all afternoon.

Congrats to Alberto on the mod's physics! Never have I driven a sim so realistically scary as this one. (And I enjoyed your insight and humor during the live stream.)

Good luck to all during the race!

Mathematically double-checking all the qualifying speeds because I want to be absolutely sure everything is accurate. Will post the grid and three alternates tonight.

The organizers did a great job for sure! Thank you guys!! Smile

Good run in the end. I think I could be a bit faster, but didn´t want to take any risks. Now off to get much more practice for the real thing!

Damn... didn´t notice you wanted to race. We could have done more practice and I bet you would have been into the 33!

Jason gave me a good set Arturo....and I had the speed...but for some reason my brain was set on 3 flying laps other than 4...I'm the idiot.

Glad to see you on the track and hope winter is kind in Argentina! :top:

Oh wow... Slowest speed... Even the last one of those who got bumped... Well... I think i don't need to say that I'm disappointed by myself... Seems i can stay home next Sunday..

Times and speeds have been verified; race thread with grid on the way...

Well, not precisely kind: cloudy, rainy most of the time and very cold, at least for our standards Smile

Indeed scary is the word those guys who drove them in real life had big Question

Hang on for race day, you never know how many people may miss the race due to real life issues. As Jason pointed out in the broadcast, Ziggy Snider got high into the most starts rank just by hanging around during the month of May.

Is this from another league? Be curious to see the results if there is a link.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped us get through qualifying: Richard Coxon for being the Chief Steward and contributing in the booth, Jason Fitch for his historical information and good humor, plus Richard Wilks and Alberto Ibañez for stopping by the booth as well. This qualy process combined with the race direction proved quite nerve wracking. Your contributions not only made it easier for me, but also more fun for people watching on YT. Thank you all very much!

We weren't using the same version of the track and the mod was the previous version.
