With a field this big, with so many great drivers spread out between all the cars, new cars, new motors, and cars that are new to rovals, there are just too many cars in every class that have a chance of winning it.

Qualifying has begun. Entries can still be made but only for the race. Good luck everyone!

**joeb** · 27 Jan 2014, 02:56 (Ref:3360322)

Well this was a dandy of a race. I am posting a preliminary result based on our current knowledge (and Level 5 winning). Scoring this year is a bit more involved since everyone scores points with every pick, so if you suspect I made an error please let me know. With that being said, Congrats to Beetle for being the inaugural TUSC FRC winner! We have a bit of a break till Sebring at the 3rd week of March.

Brownj · 27 Jan 2014, 13:10 (Ref:3360486)

Congrats Beetle!

joeb, I'm not sure why it's different from your total, but I am coming up with 100 points for the the race for me and 3 for qualifying.

**joeb** · 28 Jan 2014, 02:35 (Ref:3360860)

Thanks for pointing this out Brownj. It turns out I somehow gave you and 2 others 25 points for picking the 90 car in prototype, but that car actually got 28 points. I have corrected this and the updated results are below:

Koenigsegg · 28 Jan 2014, 20:36 (Ref:3361250)

Yaaay last! That's what you get when 2 of my winners (P and PC) had no chance at all after the first hour. My 3rd winner (GTLM) being involved in a horrific accident and my 4th winner (GTD) losing multiple laps due to mechanical issues during the night.

However I am happy that 2 out of my 4 pole position contenders qualified in 2nd. Not that bad if I say so myself!

Perhaps I should try to come last everytime while still choosing decent candidates!

Starfish Primer · 28 Jan 2014, 21:20 (Ref:3361270)

Thanks joeb for the work!. Congratulations Beetle.

That strategy might backfire on you and you may end up winning!

Beetle · 1 Feb 2014, 06:13 (Ref:3362824)

I was fighting the Level 5 war against Flying Lizard tooth-and-nail on Twitter to score maximum points... perhaps they listened.

Thanks again for the hard work joeb! I hope some of you can come around to play again. Koenigsegg - don't be discouraged by a poor start... I started out in a very bad way at predicting Sebring last year but nearly won the entire FRC at the end of the year so it's not as bad as you think.

The Badger · 13 Feb 2014, 08:47 (Ref:3367645)

What are L5 up to ..... I must have missed the announcement . Cheers .....

They ended up winning GTD, if that's your question. Otherwise, plans remain the same as Daytona... two GTD Ferrari 458s.
