Good for fans, sponsors and panel beaters bot not team budgets!

replicant Member 180 Member For: 19y 5m 28d Posted 25/01/06 01:33 AM Share Posted 25/01/06 01:33 AM Actually I have my doubts about whether the reverse grid is a good idea or not esp for the fans. In the old Konica series, there were folk who were alleged to sandbag race 1 to save their tyres and get a good spot on the grid for race 2 and use it to get a good grid position for race 3. Whilst the overall driver roster is pretty good, when you get 30-odd cars with similar performance then it ain't going to be good if some of the front runners get taken out in race 2.If we lost say both SBR cars, Murph, HRT and HSV Dealer team in some bingle on the first corner if race 2 then I dunno if the crowds would necessarily be happy if say 8 of the front runners weren't around for the finale.I'm also worried at the 'procession circuits' - Canberra with this format would have been a total disaster and I'm thinking that Shanghai is particularly unsuited too. Being designed for F1 cars, the circuit is constipated... cos' it won't allow anything to pass... there are f@#$ all places to get around someone else without biffing them off.Also the Australian GP will actually be a points round this year - as the trad March date meant it wasn't a part of the regular season.

Lap 20 or so. Would create so extra pressure and more of a specticle to watch.macka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22867-v8-supercar-series-2006/#findComment-339945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
