You can vote for up to 2 options, taken partly from ideas in the "Bucket List" thread.

Abarth 500 Assetto Corse
Every race is a reverse grid race. Race 1, reverse grid by leaderboard (no qualifying, except for the very first race). Subsequent races reverse grid by previous race result. Something like 3 x 20 min sprints.

Toyota GT86
Same format as the Abarth: every race is a reverse grid race. Race 1, reverse grid by leaderboard (no qualifying, except for the very first race). Subsequent races reverse grid by previous race result. Something like 3 x 20 min sprints.

BMW M3 E92 Step1 vs BMW M4
Top half of the field, by season leaderboard, from round to round, get the slightly slower M3. Bottom half get the faster M4. The M3 is sort of 1 to 1.5-sh secs slower, so pretty even with the M4 when in the hands of the faster guys. Qualifying for race 1, following races in previous race finish order. Something like 3 x 20 min sprints.

Lamborghini Countach
Using just a little bit of calculated ballast from race to race to compress the field. NOTE: minimal ballast just to compress the field a little bit, not to try to get everyone to the middle performance like previous seasons. No reverse grids. Qualifying for race 1, following races in previous race finish order. Something like 3 x 20 min sprints.

Another thing I want to try next season is the application of penalty ballast. E.g. instead of getting a points penalty for careless accidents, you get some amount of (not too harsh) penalty ballast for the next race. Note: the next race - the first race of the next round, not the whole next round.

Since it's pretty easy to find incidents in the replays with the contact report, I will probably look at every incident, and have certain amounts of penalty ballast for rear shunts, not leaving racing room squeezes and careless track re-entries.

I voted for both reverse grid options, Id prefer the Abarth as we havent done a FWD car season so far and thats quite a fun car in a large field. Generally quite competitive and possibly we could even do fixed setups in either of these to make it easier for those that dont have so much time to practice and just need to learn the car and track combo.

I quite like the idea of fixed setups as well, but either way.

I did think about fixed setups, but in the Tuesday league, I want to reward people who get more into aspects like practising and developing setups and so on. Less of a ”just turn up and drive” vibe. In these cars, there's not a huge amount of setup options in any case.

Cool.

If we are going to run a slower car it might be an opportunity to race on a few of the smaller tracks as well.

Yessir.

Im not a real big fan of 3 races starting again in finishing order. Quite a few real world series Ive seen that have a 3 race format do a qualy first race, then race 2 is full reverse grid with race 3 being in order of points from race 1 and 2 results.

It's six of one, half a dozen of the other. Some race series do this, some do that.
