FYI - WC Provisional starts are available for any team unlike 1997 when only teams in the Top 40 of
owner's points could use one. Note that provisional eligibility is determined by the points order for
the car OWNERS, not the drivers. In the first four races of the year, car owner standings from the
previous season are used. After that the standings from the current season are taken instead. Each
team is given four provisional starts to use after the fourth race of the season. The team is then
given one additional provisional after the 8th, 16th, 24th, and 32nd race in which they attempt to
qualify. Don't know how many the owner has left.
BRAAAAAAAAP!
