Alternative qualifying format

[wacattack]

I've got the f1 on at the moment and it got me thinking about how we qualify vs other forms of motor racing. F1 it's all about the quickest lap rather than the quickest time over 5 minutes.

Has it ever been tried in rc before where qualifying is done on your quickest lap? The way I would see it working is everyone still has a 5 minute heat, but the purpose being to set the quickest lap.

In doing this it wouldn't matter about back markers, you could have a slow lap to generate some space, you could pull your car in during your heat to make a quick a setup change etc

Any thoughts?
