| for many the 2 race format is better, yes the tail enders of Class B may get lapped in Race 1 they could also be lapped in race 2 but with a break in between the two races they have a chance to do something about it.
Even I improved at Oulton in the second race after making a gearing change after the first race. When aarriving at Oulton for the first time in 8 years I had to guess at gearing and got it slightly wrong, changing gearing between races not only improved lap times but also the result.
For some one futher down the field that has no budget to go testing at tracks before race day what they learnin race 1 can give them a better chance in race 2. Yes if right at the back they may still get lapped but it could be later in the race and by less riders.
One race format may be all well and good at BSB or even MRO level but its not best suited to club level where Novices are meant to be learning how to race
