Agreed. But should there be 10 single races or 5 double headers or a mixture of both?

Dont go down that road! Would it not be a tad dangerous to have a Vee/F5/Sheane Rover on the front row with a back row made up of guys 10+ secs faster?

Yes, its a problem and one not easily solved. There is a 10+ sec per lap difference (sometimes) between pole and last on the grid. Even on the green flag lap, the first few rows will always arrive way before the back rows.

We discussed this at some length on last years thread and yes, in an ideal world there should be a minimum difference of 4/5 secs between the fastest and the slowest (thats me safe ). But we just don't have the numbers to split grids as was proved this year.

Yes it would be great to have the above out for every race and to have full grids. For a number of reasons such as work pressure, mechanical problems, family commitments etc its probably not possible.
