Starting line up?

Can't there be qualifying rounds like there were in the first game?
But then again, AI does suck....

In races with a standing start, you can do 'practice', which is qualifying. In races with a rolling start, you have to start from 6th every time.

Isn't that only tournaments which have practice? Also races with rolling starts can let you start anywhere from 2 place through 6th place on certain boards where your car is complete overkill.

Yes. You can't qualify for single races, but you can in championships.

I'd only like qualifying to return for cash bonus's really.

The game's easy enough as it is, haha.

The "qualifying" feature I miss most is from GT1.
Before you started the race you knew how much Horsepower each car in the race had.
At least that way you could back out if your car had 500 HP to much or 500 HP to little.
It's more of a crapshoot now, and you either get lucky, and your car is perfect for the race and you get a decent number of A-Spec points (which I hate, but that's a subject for another day), Or you are either too powerful, or to weak for the race you're about to enter.
And the little indicator that tells you how many A-Spec points are possible is no real help, as it either says 000, or some number that has no relation to the number of points actually available.

That's a glitch of the AI being unable to slow down enough in very powerful cars when it's on autopilot. That's not a matter of being able to qualify for grid position.

I find that frequently happens on Autumn Ring Reverse ...

I think that little indicator just tells you what is the most number of A-spec points you've previously won on this event.
