A reminder of the procedure:

Knockout Qualification

Saturday's one-hour qualifying event is split into three sessions with a 5 minute break between each session to reset times:
  • Q1: 18 minute elimination round where the slowest drivers are knocked out and fill the last positions on the starting grid.
  • Q2: 15 minute elimination round where the slowest drivers are knocked out and fill the middle positions on the starting grid.
  • Q3: 12 minute shootout to determine pole position and the starting order for the top places on the starting grid.
  • The number of drivers that advance in each round is specified in the following table:

Qualification Details:
  • Lobby mode: The qualification sessions will be held in the Time Trial mode. This will place the cars on the track in random order. It is the responsibility of the drivers to find a piece of clean air or to try and slipstream. You should not impede another driver on a fast lap, while you are on an outlap or an inlap.
  • Pits: In all rounds the pits are open for tire changes.
  • Laps: In all rounds drivers can run as many laps as they wish. Any lap started prior to the time cutoff is legal.
  • Cutoffs: The number of drivers that are eliminated in each round will depend on the total number of drivers participating in knockout qualifying. The cutoffs will be announced an hour prior to qualifying.
  • Lounge Limits: In the event that more than 16 drivers are registered for qualification, lounges will be split evenly for Q1 at the discretion of the stewards and the number of advancing drivers will be adjusted so that there are no more than 14 drivers for Q2. The lobbies will then merge for the remaining two rounds. A steward will post instructions to this thread, including which room drivers should report to, at least an hour before qualification.
  • Disconnects: If a driver DCs during qualification he/she is allowed to rejoin the lounge. If a steward has recorded their fast lap prior to the DC the lap will count otherwise only laps run after returning to the lounge and prior to the end of the session will count.
  • Interference: If a driver is deemed by the stewards to have stopped unnecessarily on the circuit or impeded another driver during qualifying, his times may be cancelled and the driver will be placed at the back of the grid for the race start. The stewards decisions are final. Should a driver spin, run off track, or lose control of his car he must wait for a clear opening in the track to return. If a driver is in a position where he is slower than the car behind him for any reason he must slow and yield his line so that the approaching driver is not held up. Drivers that interfere with another drivers' hot lap may incur a grid placement penalty at the discretion of the stewards.
 
Having intermittent power outages due to high winds and heavy rain. Not sure if I'll be able to stay in for the whole thing. Ps3 rebooting now.
 
For the first time had a complete session W/O DC hey Strop see you tomorrow ...I was T.H.E LAST with a 9.xx
 
Couldn't match my training time but i'll have to do with it.
Good luck everybody in the rest of quali and the races.
 
God darnit. I had to keep wrecking in Q3.. Me and my Canadian ways, always mess up lol. Well done @PASM
 
Well Qualification went well for me made it to Q3 and finished 3rd could of been a 2nd if it wasn't for @PASM and his super last lap effort(great lap)

Looking forward to the race as I feel I have the slightly better race setup on long runs and I'm pretty consistent on my times so hoping to hang on to the back of Bart & Lloyd and make it intresting.
 
I just hope that maybe something will happen at the start, and I can pull fast enough away to clear the draft.. If not, looks like it's going to be a 3 way battle for first.
 
Just tried to do a 1 stop race strategy, no way I can do it. But throughout a 13-14 lap run. My laps are constant low to mid 2 05's with the occasional 04's at the beginning of it. Gonna take @msgt-sd strategy and do a 3 stop race ;) haha
