Qualifying Format
There are four qualifying formats. This is how each round's result is measured; how rounds combine into an overall position is the Qualifying Type.
Total Race Time
The entrant's total race time determines position, exactly as in a main.
Fastest Consecutive X Laps
The entrant's best time over the specified number of consecutive laps is used.
Fastest X Laps
The entrant's fastest specified number of laps is used — they don't need to be consecutive, just the best of the run.
Fastest Single Lap
The single fastest lap of the run determines the qualifying order.
