I reckon that championship race grid positions should be determined by length of time in DD.
That should make it harder for the johnny-come-lately trophy hunters.....

You don't need that, Paul. You're more than capable of hunting your own trophy

And in case that's as amibiguous as it seems on re-reading it, I mean that you're as fast as anyone on your day. If you're not trying to detach parts of yourself in ever increasingly inventive ways that is.

New format + new tyres = new opportunities to meet nice people in orange

May be a silly question but :
If the championship race grid position is determined by the qualifying race , how is the qualifying grid determined - by race number ? fastest warm up? Rolling start ?

Phil... And just to confuse you, most rounds will be Qualifying from a qualifying session before the two championship races. The above is just for 2-day/3race weekends.

don't worry about Phil, Craig and I will be looking out for him, you know making sure he understands its customary to wait 5 minutes after last call for practice, count to three after the lights go out...you know stuff like that
