Trevor Potts good question Andy. The first tiebreak criteria is the earliest solve takes precedence, because that's how F1 does it (e.g if it's Q3 and I get a 0.6 solve in round 19 but oyu get one in round 18, you get pole position).

But in the plausible scenario that two players get the same solve time on the same round then yeah, the next fastest solve in that session will be the tiebreaker.

If somehow two or more people post identical sessions in quali then I guess I'll go to previous session, or championship position if it's Q1

Trevor Potts Okay folks now we have 30 drivers in this pre-season test here's your first glance at the results: a script is currently scraping your results and filling out the Quali timesheet:

Confession time:
I forgot the new rule that Andy SC suggested during the Winter Test when writing up the rule explanatioin for all this bit. So my advice about "no penalty for incorrect guesses in qualifying" was wrong. Andy's excellent suggestion, which I had put into the spreadsheet already, was for an incorrect guess in quali to not incur a crash chance like in a race but to be a "tracks limit violation" which means:

Your next lap time (the following round) is not counted.

Primary victim of this is Adam Latchford, whose Q2 performance is downgraded from a superb 0.5s to pooturd No Time.

As it's only practise and it's a cracking idea, I won't be changing this. Sorry for my miscommunication.

Trevor Potts I will share the testing race results spreadsheets on that page once we have a starting grid for it confirmed. That will happen when one of the following criteria is met:

- 30 drivers have completed qualifying (30 driver grid)
- We've had enough entries to confirm two grids for the season AND enough qualis to fill the first grid (likely 24 drivers)

Thomas Carey am i too late? think i go up to p8 if not. smashed first two rounds and then forgot how to do anagrams when it mattered

Trevor Potts you're too late for the first test, so you're in test 2. There's a timesheet for that on the google sheets link. Just not enough drivers yet to fully populate it. Still 3 weeks left of the test before the season kicks off so hopefully will get a few more signups before then to get two full grid test results.
