13 cars lining up for Lights. Much better. Worth keeping half an eye on at least... 2018-2019 with 7-8 cars was very, very sad.

Lights Race 1 grid:
1 26 Lundqvist, Linus (R) Global Racing Group w/HMD Motorsports 01:11.5149
2 79 Malukas, David HMD Motorsports 01:11.6815
3 28 Kirkwood, Kyle (R) Andretti Autosport 01:11.8064
4 24 Pedersen, Benjamin (R) Global Racing Group wHMD Motorsports 01:11.8348
5 51 Sowery, Toby Juncos Racing 01:12.0785
6 17 DeFrancesco, Devlin (R) Andretti Steinbrenner Autosport 01:12.0929
7 5 Peroni, Alex (R) Carlin 01:12.1027
8 27 Megennis, Robert Andretti Autosport 01:12.1351
9 2 Robb, Sting Ray (R) Juncos Racing 01:12.3226
10 68 Frost, Danial (R) Andretti Autosport 01:12.4111
11 59 Lastochkin, Nikita (R) HMD Motorsports 01:12.6956
12 7 Bogle, Christian (R) Carlin 01:12.9317
13 11 Serravalle, Antonio (R) Pserra Racing 01:13.1317
Lights Race 2 grid:
1 79 Malukas, David HMD Motorsports 01:11.7021
2 26 Lundqvist, Linus (R) Global Racing Group w/HMD Motorsports 01:11.7242
3 27 Megennis, Robert Andretti Autosport 01:11.8120
4 17 DeFrancesco, Devlin (R) Andretti Steinbrenner Autosport 01:11.8932
5 51 Sowery, Toby Juncos Racing 01:11.9482
6 24 Pedersen, Benjamin (R) Global Racing Group wHMD Motorsports 01:11.9896
7 28 Kirkwood, Kyle (R) Andretti Autosport 01:12.2122
8 5 Peroni, Alex (R) Carlin 01:12.2776
9 2 Robb, Sting Ray (R) Juncos Racing 01:12.2781
10 68 Frost, Danial (R) Andretti Autosport 01:12.4838
11 59 Lastochkin, Nikita (R) HMD Motorsports 01:12.7257
12 11 Serravalle, Antonio (R) Pserra Racing 01:12.9669
13 7 Bogle, Christian (R) Carlin 01:13.2899
Heard good things about Kirkwood and Lundqvist, so it'll be interesting to see how they go. And naturally the People's Champion, Sting Ray Robb.

Also interesting to compare Peroni, who was a half decent driver in GP3 (breaking into the top 10 was his general limit), to the Lights grid.

Oh well at least it doesnt seem like it will be damaged too bad. A bit embarrassing more than anything.
With just under 10 minutes to go, the Swede understeered into the barrier coming into the pitlane as he attempted to negotiate the downhill left corner while applying his pitlane speed limiter.

“The steering wheel kind of slipped out of my hand, it was a stupid mistake but it is what it is,” Rosenqvist said after the session
