I had a look at using ballast, but the same weight affected both cars' lap times differently in my testing, because they have different weights and different power to weight ratios. Ballast will be best suited to single-make races by the looks of it.

Or I could use a success ballast, like in the BTCC.

Quote
Having previously handicapped the top five drivers, ballast will now be distributed across the top ten in the championship entering a weekend and then based on race results for the rest of the event.

The handicap is now awarded as follows: 75kgs – 66kgs – 57kgs – 48kgs – 39kgs – 33kgs – 27kgs – 21kgs – 15kgs – 9kgs.

That would probably work well enough. In that case, I wouldn't have a reverse grid.

To put the weights into perspective, I found that 100kg slowed the GTC down by 1.8 seconds, and the GX by 0.5 seconds. So 75 kg would be quite reasonable.

They have similar lap times, but the GX turns in sharper and doesn't have TC or ABS. The GTC is easier to drive. They're different enough to make it interesting.

If there are no reserves once Gratulin drops out, I'll back fill  his spot.

I wonder if it would hurt to make practice 30 minutes?

Does it really matter how long practice is, qualy starts at a certain time and so practice can be from whenever the server starts up as it makes no real difference. Its not like your limited to only 30 minutes practice for the week
