I was in favour of the semi finals format but after 3 rounds so far they have lacked excitement. With the heat format placing the quickest cars together 5 abreast the semis have often been an anti-climax with a grid made up of 1,3,5,7,9, & 11 (or even lower reserves) and staggered grids, the races have generally got spread out with the top 3 sticking to their position.
Its still early days, maybe 3 semis with just the top 2 going through might improve things but that would see an even bigger difference in performance from front to back. My opinion is the meeting should build up to the finals not get weaker, something TT hinted at during the Lydden driver interviews.
