rather, a rolling start for the points paying Saturday sprint is what is planned

With the formats in general, do we now have a return of the dreaded CPS?
That sounds more sensible than double file restarts after each SC. I still question why - in particular with Simmons, Winton & Barbagallo having a tight first corner, rolling starts COULD almost guarantee first corner carnage due to higher than normal arrival speed with a bunched up field.

CPS shouldn't be needed for the longer formats with the small tanks the cars run - in other words, they should need to stop in any case. Have to wait & see how the tyre regs are done re pit stops in the shorter races I guess.
