Lambolover -> "Good rules, I like the revised start procedures. Shall there be a maximum Ballast a team will carry, say 150kg?"

I´m thinking that only 3 top drivers after every race gets
the ballast. For ex. if results in suzuka would look like this:

1.zkippe
2.schumi
3.Paginas

Then in Laguna (2nd race) zkippe would carry +50kg, schumi +30 and Pag +10 kg.
Then after Laguna, again the top three of the table.
It could be new Guys for every race who gets the ballast.

I havent myself yet tested how much ballast affects on times though, so there can be changes before thursday.


EDIT: Or should it be the Team who is leading the table carry the ballast, lets say 100kg/5 drivers = 20kg/driver???

I would say just the top 3 driver, not the whole team should carry the ballast, I dont know if other agree?

As this is a team battle, I sugest the penaltys effects the team and not the driver.. If I'm out of the next race, it does not matter to me if I can't race...right?

If we would use this prerace table when we think about the Team Penalties for reckless driving, and assume that
Johnkiller would have caused 2 collisions.

Because of the new points table (found in post #1) the Teams total points would have been like thisbefore any
Penalties to Johnkiller2)

1:FIN 65
2:UK 29
3:SWE 24

Then after Johnkillers 2 collisions he gets first +30 sec penalty, and falls down to 8th position.Losing already 6points.
Sweden would have 18 points after that.

With my team penalty idea (-5points) Swe would end up
with 13 points.
With Denilsons idea (-10p) to 8p
And With Xanors (-15p) to 3p.

In worst case Fin would beat Swe 65-3 after that Race...

What if 2 members of team sweden would have caused 2 collisions each. Sweden would have minus points after that race.....

Think that 5 point teampenalty is good enough IF We are going to use it, because he
already did loose 6 points to the team also with the time
penalty.

Maybe the Timepenalty is hard enough, both to the team and
to the driver himself, as we saw in this example, where Swe
lost 25% of their total points, even witout any "Teampenalty".

IF U ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THE RULES, PLEASE READ POST #1, a different team-penalty is not listed there, we are just
speculating here.....

The race was some time ago, so pls refresh my memory.

I cannot remember me being in two penalty situations and not even a discussion about it. Sure you're not mixing things up.

The only contact situation I remember was with Simo911. Turning into the first corner I was ahead, he hit my rear and when off track. I viewed it as a racing incident, and stated it in a post after the race. I think it was a generous positioning of the incident from me and I never saw a different opinion.

If we're going to give out penalties in retrospect, I herby file a racing incident for the contact between Simo911 and myself. Who will be the reviewing stewards I should file it to toghether with my position of the incident.

I have an interesting idea I like to float on this thread, not for tomorrows race but for the future.

First, I like Eppe's (Max) approach to car rules. If you can't set a limit in the lounge, allow it.

The introduced PP system doesn't work when racing different cars, but if racing same cars it opens a lot of interesting possibilites. To my understanding, the Xanavi, Yellowhat, and Calsonic are identical cars, just different colors.

Instead of as today run by just an HP limit we could be racing under a PP limit. Today is a no brainer what aero, power, tyres to use. But if racing under a PP limit, the car can be configured in many different ways, all having the same possibility.

It opens up interesting ideas for team racing. Lets say you have one car configured for good topspeed which can tactically be used in a team competition. Today, nobody share their secret source tuning within the teams. This might open up the possibility of more team play hence making the team spirit stronger.

This would also make the series unique and maybe increase the appeal of it.

I see a lot of interesting possibilities but actually no single downside.
