If we are having a fantasy land moment, perhaps for 2015 rather than next year I'd like to see an extended race at each of the meetings so the calendar would look something like this:

Race 1 is run for the normal distance and at championship ballast as currently the case

Race 2 is run with No Ballast but a compulsory 2 tyre pit stop. a 10 lap window but pits closed when safety car out - pit window delays or extends as necessary.

I decided on a approx.50 mile limit as beyond that is getting into endurance territory, so with the pitstop it's still a sprint.

Brands Indy and Knockhill have been increased by a third and not taken to the full 50 miles due to the circuit size. The new distances are only 2 and 4 laps longer than the current Porsche races at each circuit but include the pitstop to keep interest going.

Race 3 is run for the normal distance but Ballast is allocated based on aggregate results from Race 1 and 2

Tyres
Currently teams allowed 12 new and 6 old slicks per weekend, this would increase to 14 new and 8 old to accommodate the pitstop.
