one 12 lapper or 2x6 lappers ?

ok, we all would like free practice, thats a given.

and im sure most would have one 6 lapper and one 12 lapper as the ideal choice.

but gun to your head what would you rather for a whole season if you had to choose. 1x12 or 2x6 lappers?

2 races everytime. Gives you a second chance should something go wrong or you have a bad race in the first one.

I loved the 12 lap race, but I'd want two of those a day to satisfy

I almost didnt make the last 2 laps of the 12 lapper
10 would have been fine thank you for asking, but I think I'd prefer 8 really.
It was a really good experience, easily the longest race I've ever been in, and I'd do it again, but I hurt too much afterwards to do it too often

As a entry level race class I think the two race format is better for DD, as far as I know New Era are only looking at introducing the one longer race format at Superclub level as they see it as the next step up from club racing.

then again last weekend I was doing a untimed practice, a 8 lap quallifier and a 10 lap final, wwhich is a format I quite like

Lets wait until the end of the season, see how many are committed for next year and then we can go to new Era and see what is on offer.
