I must have missed the rule change but why only the top 12 are qualified
this year.
Personally I think this is a big mistake lot of good cars will not be
racing.

I think it has something to with the new rule. Look further down at the post
once more in english.
I think this 12 car list changes on Saturday, but I read the new rule and I
don't understand it. We will see today what they list.

Only the top 12 are considered qualified after opening round of qualifying,
because often that is in night air offering better conditions and better
times.

This allows the bottom 4 slots to be wide open during day condition
qualifying. It doesn't mean the top 12 can't get bumped down, but
guarantees the bottom 4 slots are open after that first day or night
qualifying.
