XCR Winter Heat series will once again use qualifying to set the heat lineups. Here is a overview of the XCR qualifying procedures.
Unless otherwise noted, qualifying will open 1 hour prior(8:00pm est) to the scheduled start time of the event and qualifying will end 5 minutes prior(8:55pm est) to the start time of the event.
Qualifying will consist of 1 - 3 lap run. Qualifying results will be based on your single fastest lap with TRT(total race time) being used as the tie breaker. You may run a hot lap in the qualifying server to verify your set has loaded. The laps should be set to something besides 3 for this hot lap run. We ask that you dont run excessive hot laps in the qualifying server so you dont tie them up for an extended period of time.
You only get one qualifying attempt. Once you set the laps to 3 and start the run, if you take time on any lap, that will serve as your qualifying run even if the result is DNF.
You must finish your qualifying run by the end of qualifying or your run will not count. The qualifying server automatically shutdown at 8:55pm est. Be sure to leave yourself enough time to complete your 3 lap run.
You may qualify in any of the qualifying servers on a 1st come 1st serve basis. The qualifying servers are 32290, 32291, 32292. Don't wait until the final 3 minutes or the servers could be in use.
If you fail to post a qualifying time by the end of qualifying you may be allowed to start at the end of a heat on a space available basis.
