”So stuff qualifying. Line them up in reverse championship order. The fastest have to come through the field.”

Could be an interesting idea. Have qualifying for round 1 only. Then skip qually in future rounds and have starting order for race 1 in reverse championship order, then race 2 in reverse order of race 1 result. This would work best for slower, less error prone, cars.

Or, depending on how it pans out accident-wise, only reverse the top half.

Prefer full reverse grid - doing half always felt like I was getting the raw end of the stick

Being a back runner, the full reverse grid is my preference, man I drive my best laps when in reverse grid
I'm racing for my place, I put in consistent laps with good lines and I hate being overtaken, so the best comes out.  I don't mean I obstruct I just protect my lines and have a great race. 
Being down the back in a race and being lapped is more stressful, I am always conscience of destroying someone's or more, hard earned positions...

but being up front from the start, now that is great!

I certainly can attest to that Bruce! I had to really earn the pass at Monza :)

Thanks Rolz, I forgot to add, "I'm marginally faster, but still 'relatively slow" :)

That would be a fun season, if we do reverse grids do full grid no point hapf doing it. If some guys are struggling in traffic then no better way for them then to stick them in the middle of the battles.

It should help improve everyones racing skills even if there is some carnage at times but it would be fun to have a season full of passing.

Yeah, so far I'm liking the sound of this format in a field of BMW M3s/M4s.

I think best to stick to just one car, m4 is quite a bit quicker then m3.

Also we have ran these cars and many like it in past seasons. Is there any reason we dont run something different like a fwd car say the abarth assetto corsa. Or another car we have never ran in a series nismo gtr, audi quattro, one of the lambo's, gt86, mclaren f1 there are so many we havent ran. Im sure we have done m3 at least once and m4 is not much different to these but not really competitive.

That's just one option. There'll be the inevitable poll in due course, taking ideas from this thread.

Patrick Mareks'  BTCC Nissan Primera  (latest version) might be worth a look   ;)
NEVER TOO OLD TO RACE ... being competitive can be a PROBLEM though.

I think the BMW e92 would be great fun or the 1m or even the akrapovic.  Those are great fun.

We did a season in the early days (or was it a mini-season thing?), but I must admit I wouldn't mind giving it another go :)

+1 also for the 1M, manual and little rockets... was looking at buying the 135i, but then the wife got pregnant, so I stuck with the mini-van :P
