Hello drivers and managers,
First of all, thanks for a vastly entertaining and enjoyable Round 2. The level of racing we saw at Blackwood was, generally speaking, quite excellent. We hope to see more of the same at South City (though maybe without the silly incidents).
1. Locked-in teams
The top 10 teams in each class in points (here) are "locked in" to Round 3's main race. This means that they do not have to drive in the Qualifying Heat Race in order to participate in the main event. (I've helpfully shaded these teams in green and red to help those who have trouble with counting.)
2. Qualifying Heat Race
We'd just like to remind all teams who will participate in the Round 3 Qualifying Heat Race to drive with respect for their fellow competitors. We saw two incidents in the Round 2 quali race that may have resulted in other teams missing the main race. We take these incidents very seriously, and any stupid driving will result in harsh penalties.
3. Round 2 wrapup
Once again, Blackwood was a fantastic race. However, there are a few points of clarification/reminders we'd like to put here:
- If you miss the start of the Qualifying Heat Race, please do not join the race late. You have virtually zero chance of transferring, so the only thing you can do in that circumstance is get in the way.
- If you shift-p in the Qualifying Heat Race (or the Main Race) your race is over. Do not rejoin the track.
- If you do not finish in a transfer position (generally top 5 in class) in the Qualifying Heat Race, do not attempt to participate in the official qualifying session.
- When rejoining the track following an accident, please be sure to check for following cars BEFORE pulling onto the racing surface.
- When you see yellow flags during the race, be prepared to slow to avoid obstacles (particularly in blind corners like the BL1R chicane).
- Please read the entire rulebook, and be familiar with all procedures.
- Try not to spin in the SC queue. It makes you look really stupid.
