I joined the ARSE fun race last night and the format used was great fun. We are almost using the same format for race 2. What they do is have a choice of faster cars that wait at the start line for as long as those cars are faster over the duration of the race. So a car that is 2s faster per lap waits 16s for an 8 lap race.

Could be worth trying on Thursdays?

Sorry this is going to sound negative, but....

Won't this just mean you spend the whole race driving around by yourself and then have everyone converge at the end for desperate last lap moves and finish line pileups? Unless of coarse that's what we're going for  :P

Having said that, what would I know.
Happy to give it a go

We have tried these things before, and when it works perfectly, it's good fun. But if a chaser has a crash, or a spin say, they'll never catch up, and they end up just driving around by themselves.

I think it's more like mini-battles till the end, then all the fastest guys battle it out on the last lap.
The slower ones will be caught earlier, anyways.

But the best is to test everything, and then discuss the findings afterwards.  It's impossible to guess how well something works.  Btw the arse guys have used something like this a few times before IIRC.

Did a few laps with Flattop last night our times are very close in the 1min 59secs region, during
a race I was behind Bruce down the main straight and decided to give him a push, after a very gentle touch
I could not believe my eyes when the back of his car flew into the air and the diff separated from his vehicle,
not what I was expecting and very funny, to me at least. It was not a ping problem Bruce, just me being stupid.
I think it also shows a problem with collisions as it should not have happened.

Yes Denis I had a look at the replay this morning, it was as if a front end loader flicked the back up in the air, rather than the expected, bump forward, with a possible vector direction... but certainly fun.
our times show that Thursday will be good tight race. Love the track once I got a handle on it, it is deceiving, looks easier than it is at the first slow speed out laps.

Did a few laps with Flattop last night

Dam missed you guys, I was on last night also. Still above just above 2 mins here and also liking this track.
We'll have to let rip with some big horsepower cars here at some stage. Plenty of room to stretch their legs.

I say the McLaren MP4-13 :)

Now, that would be a handful.
