Quali starting in 1h17, right?
Yes.
Position is pretty much irrelevant anyway, this is just a random club event, with various, and mostly outdated machinery.
I've read that Kevin didn't even take the start of race 2 to save money.
Yes, it's a requirement to go to Macau, you have to do at least one F3 race within the year. Hence why he and Da Costa were there.
Pass, please?
I'll try, but I'm not sure to make it.

You are free to keep the original start times if you wish, but saying that your event "does not clash" with OWRL is incorrect and misleading.
If they should really poach someone from Red Bull, it's Newey - not Vettel. IMO.
Hard to say super-precisely, but the last 2 OWRL events finished at 21:27 and 21:30, so I'd expect something similar this time.
Put your own race at 21:35, if you really want to be sure.
As Thilo said, from the split, the death of "STCC mk1" was pretty much unavoidable. Not enough place in Sweden for 2 competitive racing series.
STCC was a real farce this year. 13-14 cars, only 7 or 8 cars remotely competitive(the Chevys, the VWs, and Engstrom's sole Honda), and a title handed to VW on a plate(an unexplained 30kg break given right before the season finale... hard to make it any more obvious).
Even though I'm not a fan of the Solution-F concept, I can only hope that the re-unification means that they can work on one single strong Swedish series again.
They're probably the ones who got screwed the most in this mess. Feeling for them, really.
Boring!
Well, at least I'll have someone new to cheer for, with Mr Colin Turkington making a come-back to racing, in a WSR-prepared Chevy.
Bring on Macau already! Super pumped-up for the F3 race in particular, very impressive entry list, featuring many future top-level single seater prospects.

TK would be a great guy to learn with - especialy on ovals, on which Simona has to do massive catch-up. On the other hand, KV seemed to be one of the teams that struggled the most with the DW12 in 2012. It was painful to see their 3 cars on the second half of the grid, week in and week out. It really took TK's talent to hussle the #11 entry in an overall 9th place.
Technically, it does. No way OWRL will be done by 21:10.
I wish one of the midfield team like Force India was allowed to take a risk and line-up a 3rd car backed by local sponsors driven by someone like Karun Chandhock.
No wonder why so few locals are going to bother, when their only man is pretty much doomed to the 12th and last row, because of his machinery!
The second half is quite interresting, but sadly it gets ruined by the first half, which is basically 45 seconds of: straight - 2nd gear corner - flat out section - 2nd gear corner - 1.XX km flat out section - 2nd gear corner - another flat out section.
This is getting fairly repetitive, you see that same boring stuff in so many of Tilke's design. Most obvious examples are Yeongnam and Bahrain, or to a lesser extend, Abu Dhabi, Hockenheim, Sepang, etc.
Of course it's probably not all Tilke fault, maybe the FIA tells him that he MUST do it that way because they still belive that 2nd gear corner-long straight-2nd gear corners section are the best way to produce the oh-so-valued "overtaking". Or maybe there's some sort of penis-enlargement award for the promoters, included with having the Xth longest straight on the calendar.
I belive franky is right. Now, the bad part is that S1 doesn't get you very far in terms of online playing. Most online servers are either demo or S2, there are very few servers specifically for S1 players.
Why the extra race distance, if I may ask? Is it to put an extra emphasis on tyre management?
Yes. With Buddy Rice on the right, and Vitor Meira on the left.
Check my post again, I've uploaded the pic to the forum, should work now.
Very tough 2012 season for Kevin Korjus. Just like his fellow sophomore Alexander Rossi, he didn't seem to be able to figure out the new car. 10th place overall, in the end.
Still a last opportunity to save the year, as he will make a surprise appearance at the Macau GP in a few weeks. It's going to be an uphill battle though, as he has no previous Macau experience, and almost no F3 experience. But we've seen more surprising resurgences there in the past.

Another blast from 2005.

Nice
You make movies Rony? Could you tell us more about that?

Yep. It's been a bit of an up and down season, with the boost equalisation controversy and the questionable driving standards. But I'm super glad that the right driver and the right team won in the end.
Grats to Gordon Shedden, a true class act. And fair play to Neal Sr for giving his two drivers an equal shot at the title. Fair play also to Jr, for playing the teams' game and helping Shedden secure the title at Brands - returning the favour for Gordon's help last year.
Apparently he plans to have (hired) professional drivers, interresting.
