GT5 Championship - season 9 - "As you were gents"
Discussion
Been thinking about possible changes to regulations for next season. Here's a suggestion:
We could chop one of the races into two, so instead of running a 60 mile race, it becomes 2 30-milers. 2 tyre compounds remain, but one must be used in one race and the other compound in the other, so no pitstops mid race. The points are dished out for your finishing positions in race 2, with no points for race 1. It would basically work like a safety car at the halfway point, bunching everyone back up together. It might cause chaos, but it would certainly be closer. The overall race distance to gain points remains the same though, so it shouldn't be too extreme. The grid for the second race would be based on previous race results.
It would likely turn out that everyone would qualify and do the first half on the slower tyre, then swap to the faster tyre for the second half.
