I can't be near the PS3 for about 4 hours; anyone else around?
With the JGTS div 1 race starting 40 minutes late this morning, any concern for the lap time pretty much went out the window - had to jump in, Q, and run. I used driving line
, and messed up at least one Lesmo and chicane on both laps - but was happy I set a time at all, with no one on last night. Just do eet!

No not really but it's not your fault anyway. Is anyone waiting to come into the room?

Everyone who has signed up for Zonda has qualified, but if someone comes out of the woodwork you have an hour. We'll post the results right after the deadline and I'll be watching this thread just in case until then. For now the lounge is empty.

That`s good to hear. For once it wasn`t PD`s fault, looked like the ISP had issues.

Qualifying for the Zonda class is complete and here are the results:
Congratz to Litchi on pole position.
Notes:
Congratz to Litchi on pole position.
Notes:
- Late qualifiers will be accepted, but will start behind any that qualified on time regardless of time.
- Some of the above drivers are reserves or primary for the Ferrari class so the exact start order is yet to be determined, but obviously based on the above ranking.
- All the drivers on the list above must commit to the Zonda or switch to Ferrari before the Ferrari qualification deadline on the 29th. Please update your status if you are listed in both classes.

Congratulations Will! I would have never beaten that time.
Great job everyone else as well!

Congrats Litchi, Mohit and Tim! It was a great couple of days seeing everyone qualify! No time to relax though, Ferrari qualifying ends on the 29th. For those that did qualify in the Zonda and wish to race in the Ferrari please let us know your choice ASAP. The deadline for declaring your ride is the same as Ferrari qualifying.

Hey Litchi, if you upload your replay maybe Speedy could do a better capture and proper pole lap video? I would do it, but I assume your replay is PAL.
I ended up exactly where I should have for qualifying. My realistic target was 1'39.3 which I couldn't go for on my second lap because of the questions with my first lap, but that would have only put me third anyway. I'll take it with a "grain of salt" considering who is just behind me and the fact that Wes ran his qualification with a car that was well down on HP.
Should make for a *very* interesting race. Usually Monza can be a train with the strong draft, but the Ferrari class could help break draft so hanging on to a faster driver is going to be tricky.
For anyone new to multi-class racing:
Remember the Ferrari class does NOT have to move out of the way for an oncoming Zonda and in fact shouldn't. Stick to your lines so that the Zonda knows where you are going to be. It's up to the Zonda to judge if a *safe* pass is possible and go around. There is nothing wrong with a Ferrari braking a little earlier going into a corner and getting a jump on exit to let a Zonda pass cleanly, but don't change lines to move out of the way.
Zonda's are not allowed to dive bomb. If you do so, even to follow another Zonda, you will be penalized. Just like any other pass make sure you have proper overlap before thinking you have sole corner rights.

Sorry Tim, I'm not home till Friday evening. Otherwise I would have done the pole lap video with much pleasure.

Ah, well people who want are PAL and want to see the lap can now observe it.
Al, you were the steward for Litchi's run do you have an NTSC copy of the replay that you could send me?
PS> I wouldn't mind getting a copy of GT5 Academy edition. That's a PAL format right and would allow me to see PAL replays? I wonder how an NA-bound gent such as myself could get a hold of a copy.
