I'm interested in taking part (probably as a GT class car), I need to sort out a GTP registry time (I'll do that today or tomorrow) but otherwise I'd like to join in if there is any spaces free still?
We should be OK on space. We should be able to take up to 14 per room, with 2 rooms active. That would put us at 28 drivers, with 23 currently registered, and 2 of those are reserves.
A follow up / clarification. Registration is unlimited, but the race itself is limited to 28 drivers -- 14 per class.
So anyone on the official GTP_Registry can sign up and run qualifying. The fastest drivers will get entry into the enduro and any remaining drivers will go on a reserve list and fill in for cancels or no shows in order of quali time / class. If you don't make a qualifying run you will not be allowed to race. And you only get one shot to qualify so get sufficient practice in before you make your run. No exceptions.
If we are short drivers for one of the classes (e.g. there are only 6 LMP cars in the B race) then we'll add an extra driver from the other class.
The other clarification/reminder is that if any driver does not exhibit sufficient car control and pace in their qualifying run they will not be allowed to participate even if they make the top 14 in their class. It's all spelled out in the details post of the OP.
- Any driver in either class that demonstrates in qualification or practice sessions that he cannot keep the car in control and on the track consistently or maintain a reasonable pace will not be allowed to participate in the enduro race. The stewards and event organizers will make that call if it is deemed necessary.
All the drivers in the previous enduro at Spa came prepared, qualified and raced with control and proper etiquette and we didn't have to put this rule into practice and hopefully the same goes for this event.
We really would like to see as many of you join us in the lounge for practices as much as possible before the races so that all drivers get an idea how to drive around others... e.g. learn braking points, car control, pace, etc. Participating in one of the support races on Saturday is highly recommended if you are new to our online events.
If you need any tips or suggestions other drivers are always willing to help out... case in point the tunes and videos already shared in the thread.
Is it okay if I qualify for the main event anyway? Would be good to see where I rank in case I can actually make it.
Absolutely, sign up for reserve for the enduro (and put in your note in the comments field). And sign up for either or both Saturday support races. Check out the new practice leaderboard as well and feel free to post your practice times there to see where you stand.
One final note on reserves for the enduro. You will need to commit at the end of the quali window for the target class or you will go on the waiting list below any drivers that do commit. In other words if you can't commit by the qualifying deadline for the class any driver that can commit will go ahead of you (as far as making the enduro event and/or making the A race). If you decide to commit later (e.g. the day before the race) and there are still spots available you will be entered in race B and will start at the back of the grid.
Finally, note that if you set your status to committed you are expected to make the race. Any abuse of the "committed" status will be frowned upon and may affect eligibility for future events... e.g. don't commit if there is any "reasonable doubt" that you will make the race. If your status is committed and you don't show up or notify a steward ahead of time via the thread your eligibility may be removed for all future events.
I think it's going to take a 1'15 to make room A in this car. 
Eddie, if you can run 1'15s while doing live commentary on your feed and not sleeping at all I'm going to be really impressed.
