| Nothing wrong with a qualifying race.
If you're going to push hard in qualifying then you'll push just as hard in a race. Depends what kind of character you are and how confident you are in your ability to keep it upright.
If you're goint to crash in qualifying then you're just as likely to crash or crash into someone else in a qually race. The difference is that if you crash on the 7th lap of normal timed qualifying, that you'll still have a chance to be on pole.
That's why it should DEFINITELY be taken from the fastest lap that you post in the qually race and not the finishing position.You'll get unfairly punished if it's based on race positions. That's a recipe for a fast rider having to batter past slower riders from the back of the grid with all the associated gubbins that may entail.
Great idea, just needs that minor revision to make it a worthwhile addition to the weekend. |
