[TALAMASCA]

narain's been quick i wonder if hell maintain the pace come race time and in qualifying

[x_dt]

What points system is used by the World Series?

(I think they award points down to 10th place but don't know the exact structure of the points system or if any bonus points are awarded for pole or fastest lap.)

[gomick]

last year it was 20,15,12,10,8,6,4,3,2,1 with 2 for fastest race lap - presume the same for this year.....

[Nomad]

Stranger,

Where'd you get those times from? I went on the "Official" site, and it only had the top 10 times. Makes my job (sportswriter in Paul Edwards' home town) a pain in the ass. I'm also looking for useable photos.

[Mackmot]

Theres a lot of talent there, I think nearly all are capable of winning

[Fiorentina 1]

Who's Felix Portiero and why is he a second ahead of Paul Edwards?

[Marcel ten Caat]

Nomad: i copied the times from italiaracing.net

[bleiben]

Felix Porteiro was 2nd placed in 2001 spanish F3, behind Ander Vilariño, champion, who is now in the WS too.

[Lee Janotta]

Wow, close grid!

C'mon Paul!!!

I don't suppose there's any live video/audio or timing & scoring that we can access this side of the pond?

[bleiben]

Check www.Wseries-Live.com for live-timing, Lee. There's plenty of photos too.

[Daisy]

Kovalainen dissapoints so far, but he is a slow starter, he will be a front runner in the 2nd half of the season.

And can give anybody me some info about Graff drivers Ravier and Vilarino?

[cds_uk]

Hi guys,
can i just say to keep in mind that Cochet has just turned up with no testing, the guy is a super talent and will win races this year, good job by Bernoldi though, didn`t think he had it in him, anyone know who is linked to the second GD seat?

[429CJ]

Why is this series chancing its name every year?

[Daisy]

You have to ask the sponsor, when they have no money, the cannot sponsor the series.

Carlin? I thought he was with Gabord or whatever

[bleiben]

That's a mistake, he's with Gabord you're right.

[bleiben]

It seems Bernoldi is running only this starting round in the series. He's got no sponsor so if he doesn't find one this is the last time we're going to see him this season.

[gomick]

no sponsor - he seemed to have them in f1, did they jump off , or is that why arrows went bust

seriously though - they are very close competitive qualifying times..... should be great racing - pity i dont get to see it

[Schummy]

I hope to see it here in TV (Spain). This season I'm decided to follow it, maybe the in-track action will be interesting.
