They are team line-ups. There is nothing saying the same people will be in a car every race.
031 vs 022: Overtaking cars before the start of the race is not allowed. 20 seconds added to Car 022's race time.
085 vs 046: 046 makes a mistake and does not think about oncoming cars. 046's mistake on it's own would have done harm to noone's race but his own, but due to taking out Car 085 a warning has been awarded to 046. Should it happen again a bigger penalty will be awarded.

These drivers are being asked to change their account settings so they can receive private messages. Should they not do so for this round they alone will be at fault for not being able to compete in pre-qualifying. Should the same drivers still not be able to receive messages due to incorrect forum settings, they might see themselves removed from the entry list.
Driver -ritariässä- has had his entry status changed to "Withdrawn" due to not being able to receive the pre-qualifying information for the second consecutive round.

Added results following Round 3.
Car 303 vs 071: Car 071 clearly overtakes Car 303 before the start, does not give the place back and will therefor inherit a drive-through penalty
Car 075 vs 118: Car 118 clips the left rear corner of Car 075 and spins the car because of it. Car 118 will drop 5 places on the grid in the next round he attends.
Car 105 vs 085: Car 105 should not have expected Car 085 to simply jump aside as he did not know where Car 105 would be. When reentering the racing line, which also applies to exiting the pit lane, drivers should not expect cars that are on track already to jump aside for them and should rather back out than provoking an accident. No penalties will be awarded to either of the drivers.
