This seems to sum up the attitude of most new comers. Come on guys, this is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, do you really expect to be able to win in your 1st race with just a few hours of practice? This league is very competitive and the front runners have lots of skill, talent and experience. You have no idea.
Qualification is an essential part of each race weekend. Skipping it is like saying you're not committed to the series. Besides based on last weeks quali results, if you don't qualify you will not even make it on the grid. I do want to encourage you to stay in the series but seriously, if you're new to the series you should set reasonable goals for yourself. I'd say if you manage to qualify, start the race and finish it without wrecking and destroying someone else's race that's a huge victory in itself.
