The issue that i have is that you are then just racing the track and your previous times, you aren't racing anyone else. You maybe leading a battle with someone on track but after adjusted time you maybe below them or vice versa. Also if someone has a really good race in a dry round 1 but is terrible in the rest because it rained (and couldn't adapt) then he will always start at the front.
So all that considered, staggered starts are good (Le Mans style) when the start order is the previous race result.
After all it is racing-
Having said that we could run legged finals (like nationals) with 3 qualifying rounds (staggered) with FTD sorted into finals, then a 3 leg final (grid) best 2 finishes out of 3 count. Best of both worlds and with PTs it easy to run.
