<mark style="background-color:green;">**Open**</mark> <mark style="background-color:green;"></mark>*<mark style="background-color:green;">(Entries Close In)</mark>*<mark style="background-color:green;">**:**</mark> These tracks are available for new cars to join, as long as they have met the level and entry requirements. Note the countdown timer, as the status will change when time expires.

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">**Qualifying:**</mark> The Qualifying period determines Car grid positions for the race through a single-lap simulation, using car base stats, excluding handling and stability, and are not affected by car setups.

{% hint style="info" %}
Securing a forward grid position, does not guarantee a top finish position.
{% endhint %}

<mark style="background-color:red;">**Live:**</mark> After a track has completed Qualifying, and the race has been fully rendered, the status will change to Live. Players can now watch the race via the video stream or [interactive view](/info/requirements/technical.md).

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Ended:**</mark> Once a race has finished, you will be able to find it in Results. You can review the grid and finish positions, race feedback, and even rewatch the race at your leisure.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.racino.io/info/games/formula/navigation/races/entry/race-status.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
