Just add some times to the sheet now.
Is there a way to auto sort the times??
I did a bad qually. 2nd lap was too slow. This were my times: 2:04.074 2:04.076

I sorted them out into order

I thought Dante would get a 56? hes been doing low 56s all week strange?

Oh and to answer you question kamy, Highlight all drivers and cars etc, then right click and go to sort

Should be in the toolbar.

I've been running consistent 2'02s but hasnt touched 2'01s yet. That's a pretty fast lap by Tony.

Yup, I did a 1.56.059 in practise quali 5minutes before real quali.
But I just can't do quali's, I get way too nervous

Damn you, and you just beat my time lol

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.

Trust me, I am committed, and I want to race, even from way back in D2, but I do not think I can get a time that gives me a start on the grid..... I run an own business and I went home a little earlier today to try to get to my setup and get a time under 2 minutes, but could not. And tomorrow I do not know if I have time.....

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

I have said this is a difficult round for me already but pushing the start back 1hour has almost made me not do this round due to my racing this weekend. I will only able to do this race on the original start time. If Jp is in the same group after qualifying has finished I will not be able to start due to it being too late for me...

 

[Lynchy098]

is there any quali rooms open now?

 

[Denilson]

Take note!

Ok.

IF the servers go offline, and we are not able to hold qualisessions, deadline is moved 10 hours.

From:
Qualifying Deadline: Friday 10.00 am CET / 09.00 am BST / 08.00 am UTC and Thursday 23.59 PM (PACIFIC STANDARD TIME) / 3.00 AM (EST). The deadlines are Fridays (UTC/CET)

To:
Qualifying Deadline: Friday 20.00 am CET / 19.00 am BST / 18.00 am UTC and Friday 10.00 PM (PACIFIC STANDARD TIME) / 14.00 AM (EST). The deadlines are Fridays (UTC/CET)

ALSO: Remember that the race that JPzer participates in will start 1 hour after our usual starttime.
That would be
CT: 20.30 PM (GMT)
GF: 21.00 PM (GMT)

THIS! 👍
It does require a pretty huge commitment, and a lot of practice to be able to run with, and compete with the top guys in both classes.
And it takes at least as much commitment and skill to finish a race without causing damage, or ruin other drivers races as well.
If you take a look at the last rounds results, in the penaly collumn, it's pretty obvious who raced in WSGTC before, and who participates for the first time. I'm not trying to point someone out, it's just the way it works. We had the exact same situation last season as well. It's simply a matter of learning how to race, when you got an opportunity to pass, and when you do not got the opportunity. It's also about learning to respect other drivers positions, and also to learn how to approach corners racing in a pack.
You can not compare recing online in any sim to a real race. We are a lot more handicaped in many ways. We do not have perifial view, everything is in 2D, not 3D for instance. The distance can be hard to judge. It's all a matter of practice. Last 5-6 races last season saw some of the best online racing I've ever experienced. Mostly because we all knew eachother very well, and all knew the limits. You will most likely see a lot less incident reports as we go along.
So to all who thinks the competition is tough, and the penalties to strict, hang in there, and I can promise you that you'll see what I mean a race or two down the road. 👍

It's sooo hard to do a perfect lap at Nur GP/F. I thought that low 56's was required to make D1 this week. But the more I practiced earlier to day, I was thinking that high 56's will probably be good enough. It's a long lap with a lot of corners to get absolutely right if you want to pull a low 56. I think most of us can do it. But to do it within your 2 lap window is something else, especially when someone is watching, and at the same time not run dirty. As we all know, a dirty lap is most sertainly taking you to D2, or perhaps not even to the grid. But that's what I love most about our quali sessions.. The pressure..

 

[JPzer]

[Scanny_Flick]

Hey den,

Did you see my post in the round 4 thread regarding ballast??

 

[Masi_23]

Nooo!!! lol.. bros before h**s! kidding. Don't say that to my commander in chief

We got an expansion series in the pipeline and it will be held on Saturdays just to let you know.

 

[JPzer]

Thx man, i kinda hope you would say something like that !!

Ok great, ill stay in touch !

 

[Denilson]

Hey den,

Did you see my post in the round 4 thread regarding ballast??

I'll go and take a look.. 👍

Report back soon.

 

[doctsuru_69]

I was in the lobby with the stewards bout an hour ago, supposed to fo my quali but i got disconnected due to power interruption. I will do my quali later. Tnx.

 

[Denilson]

Your clean lap is the one that counts. It's always your best total that counts.

Let's say you did a 2:15.000 clean, and a 2:09.999 dirty, your dirty lap is 1/1000 quicker.

A lot of ballast is not correct in the 4th round thread.
Wardez is responsible for the round specific threads. But i'll make sure to correct it. 👍

 

[Scanny_Flick]

Yeh got the lap time sorted, Kamy corrected it for me, just wanted to make sure someone saw my post about the ballast

Thanks for pointing it out.. A lot of stuff to keep track of..

Participation/contribution is a vital part to the series so attempting and doing a qualy lap would mean a lot. Drivers seeing other times on the board, be it fast or not, motivates them to submit their own. Still, it is ultimately your choice.

Hope that made some sense lol.

No my team just fell apart!

I'm gonna go out to start recruiting for a new team mate. Consider that Denso taken.

Sorry to see you go JP but I was thinking earlier that these Canadian Summers aren't long so it's good you get time outside to enjoy it. I expect a full retreat come snow-time though

Anyway, sad to see you go champ, even though we only raced in Tsukuba it was edstined to be a great season for us.

Bless ya' heart
