2.8.3.2. RACE – by SEMI (for QSR) results, first group (Final B or C) consists of participants who finished in several last positions in any of the semi-final sessions depending on the number of participants in each group in SEMI; the next (Final B) and/or the best group (Final A) consists of participants who finished better in SEMI and that weren’t already included in the previous group/groups. Place on the grid in each group will be determined by the semi-final session results – the higher finishing position in the semi-final session, the higher starting position in the final session. If the rate is the same, then the higher place is taken by the participant who has gained his best result in qualification session – the better time, the higher starting position.
2.8.3.3. R1 – by QUAL (for QRR) results, first group consists of a half (for 2 (two) groups) or one third (for 3 (three) groups) of participants showed the worst times in QUAL, with uneven split the first group gets one more participant.
