For me the whole pressure of the pre-qual was a big part of the fun in the Mini league where i first experienced this,it can be a bit daunting watching the times coming in on the pre-qual screen knowing i havent been anywhere near the times popping up for group1,what it makes you do is go away and tweak setup and push yourself out of your comfort zone and end up doing laps you never thought possible before,for sure i came out the other side of the Mini league a better Race07 driver than when i entered,and the pre-qual pressure played a big part in that.
