Okay, so I just bought CPR and downloaded the 1.01 patch.
What's the deal with the qualifying?  If I simply crash my car,
it puts me in second position for the race (?).

Am I missing something?

I was confused about this too at first, but the answer is hidden away in the
fine print of the manual...

If you don't complete the qualification, you are given the place which was
earned by the driver you are replacing in the REAL race from the 1997
season. From memory, this only applies in the one off races.

Btw, the real tragedy of of CPR is that it IS a decent sim - one of the best
to date for car handling physics, it's just let down a LOT by just about
every other factor (AI, gameplay, etc.)

In some people's opinion. I should point out that this point is moot,
very, very moot...

Cheers!

CPR would have been the best, if the AI and gameplay were like that of CART
World Series for Playstation.
