Some series do not have a formal qualifying round or it is hard to find the results
of the qualifying procedures. Virtual Thunder tries to cover each event as closely
as possible.

We try to keep the team lists updated but with the many team/driver changes, this
becomes a very difficult task. When in doubt, please pick by the driver name
first, then by team number. Please email any updates as soon as possible to
info@virtualthunder.com.

A Pit Crew will let you compete against up to 24 other Virtual Thunder
players. Every crew with three or more members participating in an event
will receieve a computed crew score. The crew score is calculated
by dropping the lowest member event score and averaging the remaining
event scores. This crew score is compared against other Pit Crews and
used for Pit Crew Standings.
To get involved with a Pit Crew, first you must be a registered
player, then you can join a public Pit Crew or create your own Pit Crew.
