Gran Turismo 7 Regulation Settings Discussion

• Are points for FL and Pole Position still warranted? - Yes
• Is there interest currently in a longer season, perhaps 10 rounds? This would need to be irrespective of school holidays. - Not keen, Happy to keep Life / Racing balance
• Should the drop round be removed? - No, See above.
• Two tires for next season? - Car / Modifiers - Dependent. We need to be selective and careful to ensure that we don't have a tire that only gets 1 lap, pointless strategy. Tyre choices need to matter. Fuel needs to matter.
• A change of season format to change all standard 45 min rounds, to a shorter 30 min~ "Feature Race" and a 15 min ~ "Sprint Race". This would include a re jig of the points system to allow more weighting for the enduro. - Most races are decided well before the 45m mark, longer races just drags the pain out for people who are struggling. I'd be happy with Qual for the Sprint and the results of the Sprint setting the grid for the Race.
• Any other regulation or format changes - I feel that the MnG / PR1Q is doing it job to the most part. We can't get much better given that we keep swapping cars season after season. I'd also consider making the enduro much earlier in the season to ensure a fuller grid and or increase the points awarded for it to make it worth attending (double points for the Enduro). Have we ever considered running the same car for longer than a Season, but have a ladder mix-up for the second / third season, to ensure that the pace is kept together? (also no idea how it will work )

We could go back the original D1B concept where they are in with D1 to fill the grid but racing similarly paced drivers for the B title. How 1B became a seperate race I'm not sure.

That preseason series you ran was excellent

Just touching on that longer race chatter, It would appear the 90 min classic enduro has maybe fallen out of love a bit. Would we be more interested in elevating our 60 min race as our designated "enduro" and then replacing the classic 90 with our old Sprint Round format? 30 min feature with a 15 min reverse grid. Reverse grid Sprint racing as always remains a fan favourite for us, but would this be too much of a good thing?

My head tells me it's probably a good change, the 90 rarely offers much character these days, but interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

Gonna throw some more options in the water for you guys in terms of Season 11.

Right now it's likely the SLS Gr4 gets up, fantastic car to race door to door and can follow incredibly closely. I'd like to use RM as one tire at least, and bring in RS or RH, or even both. I want to have a small amount of strategy available but without diluting the on track action. 2 stop maximum as usual. Fuel to last maybe half race distance this time around, don't want to make the no stop on fuel possible.

Your thoughts as always are wanted and appreciated!
