And I was hoping that Zolon might like a trial of his idea but he hasn't been on to ask.
Hey, hey, hey, thanks Paul, I'd be delighted to give my little project a "Proof of Concept" outing, if others agree to run it.
And, to that end, I'll fill in a little detail...
It's a handicap series. Everyone drives car B in the first race. However, thereafter, the two drivers who have had (on average) the best finishes, leading up to any particular race, drive car A in that race. The person who has the worst average finish drives car D, and the two drivers who's finishes are on average just ahead of that poor sole drive car C, all others continue in car B.
In this case, the cars are:
Vintage Touring car Group A.
So, car A is, the Nissan 240Z.
Car B is the Porsche 911.
Car C is the Ferrari 365.
Car D is the stupendous E-Type.
Since this is just a shakedown run I would expect to do a series of ten minute races in quick succession. I'll let everyone know when car changes are required. I would suggest a track that we are all familiar with, perhaps Silverstone, which is nice and wide. Tires and fuel will suffer no degradation, and the weather will be kind.
Since we can't set the grids our selves, and qualifying for each race would be a bit of a pain, we'll have to go with random grids.
So, if you fancy it, there it is. I am planning a full championship along the same lines, which will feature much longer races, tyre wear and fuel use, but that is for some time in the future.
Cheers, Zo.
