All 33 drivers have confirmed! Thank you and good luck to you all!

Cars at race speed will already be trying to put two or four wheels in the apron and that is dangerous enough when other cars exit the pits, let alone if the exiting cars go over the line. No, you can maybe put your right tires on the line, but nothing more, you should stay at all times with the full car inside the apron.

In the real race they were not allowed to go down there with four wheels as we do, but we can't be policing that all the time, and if I set it to be a short cutting so the game auto-polices that, you would get a penalty when exiting the pits. So we have to trust our driver's judgement and ensure the exiting car does nothing stupid.

33rd starting spot is now open. If you are serious about competing, please get practice in between now and tomorrow! (Better yet, join us for Carb Day)

Can I hop back into the #8? Feeling more put together this week and curious what can be done from 33rd.

Either setup or driving style or both. Rear wing around 15 is the main way of getting the mileage, coupled with decently long gear ratios. You can use 4th to save and a very close 3rd to race. Remember to use your rear antiroll bar during the stint, soften it as you use fuel a the car will become more oversteery. As for driving, instead of staying full throttle into the turn and touch brakes at apex, roll off the throttle earlier and let it lose speed when turning, then also be sure not to floor it in the chutes, you usually just get excess speed and have to brake/lift too much for exiting turns 2 and 4, just use 80% throttle until you are clear of T2 and 4 and then floor it for the straight.

what happend?

Looks like a ripple in bandwidth caught a few of us off guard
