I don't think your point was directed in my direction (maybe it was) but IMO reverse grid the whole point is for the faster drivers in back to make the pass, not for the slower drivers to open up a gap and let others pass. Slower drivers start up front and do what they can (legally) to stay in front for as long as they can. And if you truly expect a slower driver to allow a pass to someone 3-4 seconds faster per lap, they will be out of sight in no time. I can see how a faster driver would be frustrated not being "allowed" to make a pass, but a few laps of defensive driving is very beneficial as well. The problem is when the faster drivers are bumping you through the corners and spinning you out (not directed at you).
I agree with most of what you said, but I did not specifically mean to leave a gap for the faster drivers, I'd like to see some dicing too. But some times enough is enough. What is the point when after defending 2 laps you spin off or run off track on your own? Not directed at you but at that point the defending driver would seem like an idiot to the faster driver and that is where the frustration would come for me at least. If you can keep someone3-4 secs faster behind until the checkered flag so be it. Shame on him for not finding a way to pass.
I think I should rephrase "slower driver" as "unsafe driver" in my first reply to wolf.
Just a bit more respect and less ego between all drivers in general would be nice.
