Default Last night's new format

Now the dust has settled after last night's format change, what did everyone think.

I personally didn't have a problem with it (as a GT12 racer I got more time on the track), but I know there were a few people (who shall remain nameless, mainly because I don't know their names) that were unhappy with it.

To be entirely honest, I don't think the format gained us anything in terms of time on the night, just a couple of minutes in between round change overs. I mean it was still nearly 11pm when the track was put away.

I think the place to gain the time is between the heats, and you do this by stopping people blasting round the track for 5 laps before the start of a heat. The finals worked really well last night, as they were a case of get your car on the track and get lined up.
I think if we did that in the heats too, we would be able to go back to 3 x 4 min heats plus your final quite easily, and I think that this would be the preferred format for many.

Opinions.....
