Builders, but a builder may have multiple cars if their 2nd, 3rd, etc. cars are faster than the last builder to make the finals.

So this was a example I made for the top 4 cars making it into the finals from the semi's last year.. (Note: this shows 4 cars making the finals, but this year it will only be 3 cars making the finals.) This is just to give you an example of how it works.

So, if I am understanding this correctly, all of the cars, by any builder, that are within the time of the top builders moving on (4, 5, or 6 (or more if tied)), move on to the semis or finals.

Right?

Are the finals done by fastest car or by person that won the series? If a builder has three cars which car is decided to be in semi's or finals?

I guess I'm curious how a single car will qualify for the semis than finals. Obviously if he keeps winning he will advance, but does he face the series champions two slower cars in qualifying? Or are all three of there cars in the semis and finals?

I'm new at this and wonder if it would be better to flood the races with 4 cars or one car?

In the quarters/preliminaries only ONE car advances to the semi's.... only the winner, only the fastest car.

In the semi's the fastest 3 builders advance to the finals. So it is possible and probably likely that there are more than 3 cars moving into the finals. If the builders that place 1st and 2nd in the semi's have additional cars that beat the 3rd place car then those cars will move to the finals as well. The 3rd place builder will only have one car move on...

If you win the Fire points series you are in the finals and you wait for the semi's winners above to join you.... the points series winner can enter as many cars as he wants to enter...

Does that make sense?

That makes sense but I think his question, which I also wondered, was if the series champ that automatically makes the finals has more than one car, do all of his cars automatically go to the finals or does he have to pick one.

Eastman has it right... The builder made it into the finals, not a car. So that builder can race as many cars, new or old, as they would like.
