As Alan said he won't be able to confirm so I will do it for him, so make the swap. I shall inform him of his new slot 

Ok

hmmm,   with 86C best times 43,5  is on the limit time of best 33 cars, so expectig  qulify only with luck and when yes, it seems that race will be very bad (expecting to be lapped every 14-15 laps)

Was helping Filippo last night with his 86c,i managed to lap it in high 42s,so it is possible

Additional Awards

In addition to the Gary Bettenhausen Memorial Trophy, which will be sent to the race winner, there are two other "informal" awards that will be given during the Month of May.



After the race, the HSO admins will give the Jigger Award to the driver who experiences the hardest luck during the Month of May.
The award is named for Jigger Sirois, the real-life first recipient in 1969.  The history of the award can be viewed here.


 
Also after the race, the Rookie of the Year will be named by the HSO admins.
Those eligible for the award are drivers with no HSO career starts before 2017.

Un petit pronostic sur ma qualif de ce soir !

1er tour : 42'7
2nd tour : 42'6
3ème tour : 42'6
4ème tour : 42'5

Will we run the outlap plus a warm up lap before the first timed lap? Or is the out lap the warm up lap? Just to make sure to practice it the right way.

The outlap is the one warmup lap.

I know I'm coming in late here, but would anyone be willing to swap my 23:05-23:10 slot for a pre-15 minute break slot? Cheers

I'd be willing to swap if it means you have a chance to qualify

My time is 21:50-21:55, the 2nd last run before the 15 min break.

Yeah, that's good for me. Thanks very much!

Alright I have a couple more questions regarding qualifying that I found no answers on.

Where exactly are you allowed to enter the track coming from the pits? And also I would like to know if I actually have to drive back to the pits on my inlap or if I can hit ESC before that? The latter question is in regards of the fuel amount.

You can enter the track as soon as you leave the pits, you can escape after the line. This is probably encouraged as it helps move things along.

But...I want to do my inlap so it looks nice for the live stream

But....You can't. As soon as you cross the line we will tell the next car to go. So the camera will switch to them anyway.

As soon as people have finished their runs we want them to press ESC so we have more time for bumping.

I'll update the schedule accordingly

Exciting stuff. Good luck @all tonight!

  That's fine.  Thanks for the clarification.

were a few mins ahead so join the server as soon as you can if you are due to qualify in the next 20 mins

Keep joining guys, we are up to David Jaques, David Jundt to start soon.

EDIT: David Jundt is on track, you are up next Simon Wattman 

Remember guys you need to be on the server 10 mins before your run. Jason Fitch is currently on track at the moment on his final lap.

Cool, j'ai fait mieux que mon pronostic, 4 x 42''5, mais je pense que cela ne suffira pas pour se qualifier, mon petit moteur Judd ne peut pas donner plus !

Matthew Hull and Bruno Chacon, join the server as soon as you can.

Great broadcast thus far. It would be great if you could display the standings from time to time though.

Something will be shown during the 15 min break.
