HI Jason,
Sounds complicated but I am getting my head arround it.

Is this correct,
The morning session will be setting the fastest lap, the number of laps or average has nothing to do with the afternoon event other than the Fastest lap time?

The afternoon event will be a "One run" format where you would go out complete a determined or minimum number of laps.


I have one concern with the afternoon event. With my limited experience driving at these events, the one thing that I always enjoy is the courtesy that all drivers show when competing. If you buggered a lap that was ok, it didn't matter, with this event you may not want to slow down, pass when safe etc etc...

However I do like your proposal.

My 2 cents.

Phil

Correct. This allows drivers to go out and complete their laps as per other years. You can warm up your tyres for a lap or two or cruse around at your leisure slowing to let cars past when you have to.

Not exactly. Again as per previous years cars will be grouped and set out on the track at different times through the afternoon.
The time spent on the track will be same as always. It's only the afternoon times that will be calculated differently.
The 80% rule is added to stop drivers only doing a coulpe of laps and having an advantage when averaging out the times.

As for slowing down to let cars past.
We always group the cars according to lap speed, so lapping other cars is rare.
If you do slow down a couple of times, no worries, your 3 slowest laps are deleted from the equation for this exact reason.

Reptyl

looks like a very fair system. As I see it it rewards the person doing the very best with what they have got on the day, which is to drive to your personal best limit and driving your car to its potential best limit.
