Thanks for the clarification Ken Chan,

Now the question is, where is this Oasis Bar?

I called the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego CA. and the reseptionist told me that there is no Oasis Bar inside the Hard Rock Hotel.

I’m very confused.

this is the info I found in Google:

Hard Rock San Diego Hotel
207 5th Avenue San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 702-3000

If the initial contest had been about driving ability and the ability to adapt to different conditions I would have qualified.
Based on the total cumulative time of all 40 driving tests I finished 4th among Americans. But based solely on the results from 8-5 I finished 331st.
I was also one of only 2 Americans to finish on top of any of the 40 worldwide leader boards. (7-5)
Living in North Carolina, 2500 miles away from San Diego, means I can’t afford to make the trip to even get the chance to try for the 33rd spot.

Is it fair to say, then, that it will NOT be the twin ring motegi course? If not, that is EXCELLENT… it give me more hope of doing better. Competing against people “cold”, with a non-(mentally)warmed-up car, would be a fantastic challenge!

That is correct. 400,000 was US only

There is no maximum amount of people who can register, but it’s a one day competition from 10am to 4pm, so bare that in mind. The line can very well be cut off way before 4pm if the line exceeds the time it requires for each competitor to drive. We would highly suggest getting there before 10am, especially since it’s comic-con.

OK, so the registration needs to be more clear… the description above says first come serve.
So I live in the East Coast, and lets say…. if I buy a plane ticket and stay in a hotel room ( around $900) and by the time I get to the event, they tell me that the competition is full.. I might want to break something!

So please tell us if there is a maximum amount of people who can register on that day.

Thank you
