So great!! Back when F1 was "affordable." 35+ cars would show up for a race when there were only 30 spots or 28 spots. The slower cars had to pre-qualify to even be able to take place in qualifying. This is where the 107% rule got its start!!
Good times!!
All we need now are qualifying engines or Grenades!! I'm gonna go and cry now!! Lol!!
