Proposed Mazda Season Alterations. **VOTE**

[Ashracer2011]

Some Changes I believe will better the racing in these cars, the initial "Long Race" seemed a good Idea until I tried it and it was very very boring! And Drivers will not get much of a chance to race for podiums and wins.

So I have alternatively changed & added some tracks, short tracks to race first each week with a qualifying session (10 minutes) then requiring a tyre change mid race from Racing Mediums TO Racing Hards, the Following Race on the longer tracks (also a slightly longer race) will require top 5 drivers from the first race to start on Racing Hards, every other driver can start on Racing Mediums, a pit stop is required to change to Racing Hards, the top 5 drivers who started on Hards CANNOT switch to Mediums. This should give the slower drivers an advantage and spice up the championship giving lots of people a chance!

New Proposed Rule Changes:
Racing Hard and Racing Mediums
10 Minute Qualifying Session for Race One.
Race One (Short Track) - 20 Minute Race
Reversed Grid + Top 5 Drivers From Race One Handicapped on Hard Racing Tyres For Race Two.
Race Two (Longer Track) - 25 Minute Race.

Original format.

Week 1 - Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit - 7th July @ 8pm
Feature: TBC Sprint: TBC
Week 2 - RedBull Ring - 14th July @ 8pm
Feature: TBC Sprint: TBC
Week 3 - Twin Ring Motegi East Course - 21st July @ 8pm
Feature: TBC Sprint: TBC
Week 4 - Laguna Seca Raceway - 28th July @ 8pm
Feature: TBC Sprint: TBC

Race format -
- 15 minute Qualifying session
- Feature Race with one required pit stop change to Hard Racing Tyres. (increased race length)
- Sprint Race with grids reversed based on the feature race results. (this race will be shorter than previous seasons to reflect a longer feature)

I like the idea of only having 10 min quali as 15 is a bit long. (That could be discussed in the leagues after chosen format)

I hope "no" means having the original format!

Most things on the "new" format is good. But I mainly don't like having 2 tracks/weekend.

I Agree with Fantic, it's a cool concept and nice tracks, but it just becomes a hassle with 2 tracks a week.

 

[BILLY-DA-KID]

Well it's such a short season that I think 2 tracks a week is a good idea and will spice it up.

agree with billy. lets face it, this is not a proper season after all. so more tracks give us something different and allow us to relax more or work twice as hard to prepare for the races and then punishing you for taking it too seriously.

 

[Ashracer2011]

I think its perhaps fair to add Medium Racing tyres to the Allowed Tyres? With a mandatory change to Hard tyres?

 

[Sub-Star]

I like your proposed changes Ash! I think it spices things up nicely, and lets people like me have a better chance at being competative.

 

[Trusefusker]

as a top 5 finisher from the first race, are you allowed to not stop in race 2?

 

[VTi-DOHC]

as a top 5 finisher from the first race, are you allowed to not stop in race 2?

I assume that a mandatory stop is required in Race 2 for all drivers.

 

[Ashracer2011]

Week one will run as normal, week 2 we'll change.
