I think it works.

As Lily said, it isn't a race, it's practice, just adjust your mentality to suit. The formation lap prior gives everyone a chance to get warm tyres too. Lessens the chance of first lap offs due to cold tyres maybe.

IMHO it will help people really think about putting in a good lap, and a good time. I have backed off to find space in the past, and put in a lap that has moved me well up the grid, rather than battling in qualy, which slows you down.

Anything to make the days run smoother, well done to NE for thinking about it.

Potentially getting 4 DD sessions on track in one day is great value.
