I would definitely agree with this statement. I started half way through last season when we were using this method in qualifying and I feel it is a fairer system than the grid formation. I have profited a few times by avoiding first lap tangles but equally lost out in the chaos of 10 trucks squeezed through the first corners at once. Fine in the finals when it is a true race, but disheartening when trying to beat the clock only to get flipped and lose vital seconds (or 25 when my truck wouldn't let go of the catch fence at Holbeach!!).
Having said my piece on that, I have thoroughly enjoyed this year and am well up for the next
Big thanks to the organisers whose efforts behind the scenes and on the day made this an excellent experience for a ham-fisted muppet.
