Both Jonas and Helder have not posted any time at PrestoGP.com yet.
Although I do not doubt either of you will show prepared, it is a very handy tool for us all to use (the time table). It shows roughly where you are at, if your pace is too slow and you need more practice etc.
Right now for example, Bob Laube might think that he does not need to practice more, because he is not the slowest driver, This could have been true if it was not for the fact that Kennett can do much better than 1:16:181, so in reality, Bob is almost half a second slower than the second slowest time.
It is also very handy for the Race Director, It gives him an idea of what he can expect on race day. Is there any drivers he needs to have a talk to prior to the race etc. Can we expect big spread in race pace or a tighter field, will there be a lot of lapping back markers etc. But this only works if we all use it for posting are rough qualify potential.
I know that race pace is what is important, but unfortunatley the site works in a way that it is qualify-pace that is displayed. I spend little time with qualify and am probably faster in race than what my p.b. gives the impression of. But I do regularly in my 14 day practice period do a couple of qual laps, greatly desiering to improve my p.b (which I have not managed yet).
