here is a link to week 1 results have a look
http://www.forcc.co.uk/ go to results/week1/heat results/overal heat qualifying.
lets recap what we currently do we have 3 races best two of three to produce the heat listings for next weeks grid slots which is fine now if we look closley at the finishing positions its clear.
we all agree the driving standard is pretty shocking why is this?
if we look at the fastest times from each driver we can see it varies for example alan moon 36 place 20 laps he is 3 to 4 laps faster than the drivers around him in this list ei his next weeks heat so he would be lapping a single car that is 4 laps slower over a run every 5th lap if he had 4 cars in his heat 4 laps slower he would be lapping 4 cars every 5th lap but those 4 car will more likey be on there on piece of track so poor alan would be trying to pass a slower less experienced driver every other corner from lap 5 to lap 20 he would need do 16 overtakes per car(backmarkers) within his 20 laps that is bairing in mind every body in the heat doesn't crash.
now these are not exact figure but im hopping you see the problem
what is the resalution if the format was FTQ the next weeks grid line up would be a true fastest to slowest list yes there will still be a couple of odds for example tom bates who finished 47th which is out of sorts but from what i can see on this particular example he is the only one.
why do we run round by round?
