NaBuru, what's with your boycott because of the lack of official streaming? As far as I recall, the official streaming has not been reinstated. I'd like to join you in your boycott until Indy.

Tim: With 27 possible entrants and a rulebook that allows 26 to qualify only, will the non-qualifier count towards anything in this game?

No

The slowest car that "qualifies" is what I seek.

For Indy, I believe that I ask for the driver who was the final guy "Bumped" and we will have bumping this year, because the entry list could go as high as 41 cars.

[NaBUru38]

Yannick, ESPN "lost" the rights for all non-Versus races in Hispanic America, so I wanted to protest about IndyCar letting that happen. But now I've rethinked it and I won't punish you, but keep playing here for you.
