    Guys the reason for the poll is to see what you think and here is my reasoning for the possible change. Had a great session at 3 of the tracks last night with a 20 min practice race. with the tyre wear on normal and on softs the wear was ok getting down to about 7 & 8 so with a compulsory 1 stop tyres will come into your race thoughts but wont be an issue whatever car you are entered in. Also with the cars so evenly match 1 hour is a long time to run around if you make a mistake early in the race and lose the chasing pack so 2 races will still give you a chance at a good result on the night.

    I always like the idea of two races, if you stuff up the first you can try and redeem yourself in the second.

    need to have qualifying because of the penalty system...wouldn't be fair if someone has 3% bhp reduction and has to start out of 16th... would be very difficult and somewhat unfair

    Reverse grid rewards mistakes better to start in finish order. But I went with long
    Races driving fast for 1 hour without mistakes is hard but more of a challenge

    Yet to vote, but how about a variation on option 2. Qualy for race 1 and then grid based on results of previous race for race 2. call it a safety car period of sorts that brings the pack back together. Round could still remain as a single one hour race (kind of) but gets those that have made / been victim of big mistakes back in the game.?????????????????????
