    Verrrrry funny mister, try about 1.5 seconds faster and you might be closer to the mark!

    Would people prefer the handicap to be a delay to start time (note tyres will go cold waiting for 2 minutes) but everyone will finish on same lap and be close-ish,or;
    Handicap be taken of total race time and then we would have qualifying

    Personally I think the best option is to get the staggered start. Having quali doesn't really fit in with the format.

    Yeah, keep the delayed start times I reckon.

    agree, however i would maybe look at a slight adjustment to the handicap times based on the last runners being on cold tyres once its time for them to start

    I'm actually starting to wonder how well this would work. Given that there's a handicap of up to 2:14, the last person to start will have ice cold tyres by the time they get going which will be a huge disadvantage. Then there will be varying levels of grip between them and the person who takes off first. I'm not sure how you'd go about properly calculating all of this accurately to ensure the handicap is actually implemented properly and fairly for all drivers.

    start a race and wait the amount of time and check the tyre temps before doing a lap.
    compare the lap time to a lap starting from when the lights go green

    To get it right each individual driver would need to do it themselves because we all could have different abilities on cold tyres.
