I may sign up as a reserve but having lots of running with real draft I can tell you it's more fun. Also with cars that have Downforce it's still plenty strong. In low powered road cars I still could gain enough to get level with the leading car.

About to add two more rounds... how long do you want this mid-season break to be? 2 weeks?

I would like to see this
4. Deep Forest - 09/10/14
5. Cote d'Azur - 13/11/14
6. Monza - 20/11/14
7. Grand Valley East - 27/11/14
8. Red Bull Ring - 04/12/14
Would be working round my shift, so I could then make all the races.
Just a months break I think poeple may not like.
But think if you did this we then be able to start Btcc-9 in Jan.
Loads of time for Btcc-9 pre-season testing, I'm just trying to look for all the plus side lol

Thanks for the offer. As you can tell I'm probably too late already and I won't go on until later. I'll find what room you guys are in and try catch the end of the race

I just think a week off mid-season would do us all some good. It gives us a chance to have a rest for a week, I actually didn't dislike the fact that Rolo's work meant we had a break. 
I think my Mrs appreciated the break too. 👍
I really do hope that this season is like the last Honda one-make, it was a cracking season and the success penalty gave everyone some hope of a win.
If having draft on weak ensures that we can have multiple winners this season then I'd say leave it as it is. If it's changed to 'real' then I think we'll see the guys with a success penalty still winning the races and I'd rather not have that.

Thing is with weak draft is, it's still too strong. When you can get a better exit out of the last bend on Nurb and still end up passed by t1 then something is wrong.
Also the guys with power penalty will be super easy to just draft by. At least with real they can defend it a little with better exits and corner speed.
It also means they will have to work really hard to pass when they have a power penalty.
Remembering these cars have Downforce so the effect will be stronger than just road cars like in Btcc.
Not to mention how much more fun it is to run in a pack. As there is no 3 wide draft induced nonsense etc. It makes tracks like Monza and others with long straights less draft heavy and more enjoyable.

Problem is I would miss 3 races if there only a one week break
1. Motegi East - 18/09/14 can do
2. Cape Ring Inside - 25/09/14 can do
3. Fuji Speedway GT - 02/10/14 can do
4. Deep Forest - 09/10/14 can do
It then takes my shifts 4 weeks to get other Thursday off.
So no break I miss next 4 meets
One week break means I miss next 3 meets
Two week break miss next 2 meets
5. Cote d'Azur - 16/10/14
6. Monza - 23/10/14
7. Grand Valley East - 30/10/14
8. Red Bull Ring - 06/11/14
