F1 style qualifying for V8SC???
I was very impressed with the F1 Qualifying yesterday. Would it work in V8SC. I'd love to see it. Never been a fan of 1 lap dashes.

Dito... It was infact entertaining for once! I do have one reservation given what happened to Ruben though... maybe they could add what would be sufficient time for two laps to the clock if there is a saftey car in the session??
I recon it would be great to see in V8's. |

It would disadvantage the faster teams to have to do 3 qualifying sessions while the slower teams did a couple of laps, guaranteed a start, then put it away until the race
More thinking to do here |

How about 2 qualifying sessions of 16 cars each (see I can dream too..)
Bottom 8 cars fall off in each session Then a combined qualifying session for the 8 cars from group 1, and 8 cars in group 2 If you select a rational method of choosing who goes in each group (like put one car from each team into each group) then the fans will see the hot cars on the track for longer. And.. here's the kicker.. the main qualifying session with the 2 lots of 8 hot cars, would be qualifying the same conditions, so going first wouldnt be the disadvantage it seems to be at the moment. |

but GTR isnt that effectively what we get now. the top 16 cars from practise end up in the fastest 50%

It depends what you want to achieve, but fundamentally a car in the bottom 50% rarely goes well enough to stay in the top 10 overall... now some of that may be car performance, but there have been some cars you would expect in the top 50% that end up in the bottom session, and because the circuit hasnt gripped up, or the slipstreaming stuff that sometimes goes on doesnt happen with the lower rung teams, they dont progress
I wouldnt mind seeing no shootouts except for Bathurst, but a more meaningful way of keeping the hot cars on the track for longer... and one session with all the cars eligible to improve performance on the track and fighting for position, not in the garage unable to respond... |

Ignore the whole 2 knockout sessions and its the same as what the V8's use. Do you not consider banking a top 10 time eligible for the shootout a form of elimination?

It depends if you want qualifying to be a show or not
Its not an elimination per se if the cars in the lower 50% cannot respond to the times set in the first session because they have no more time allocated. For a car to be eliminated, to make it interesting on track, and for television if #10 thought about it some more than they do, then the 16 car all in session for the top cars in each group will be the highlight of the qualifying. You could break 16 back to 8 if required, or just eliminate the single lap shootout, and replace it with all the cars on the track, and a decent view of what the timing systems are showing live timing customers, when these cars are on track Would consumers find a qualifying teev package like an F1 version interesting to watch on the box? I would if they did it right, so it meant something.... and it would stop the blipverts (thanks Mr Headroom) we are informed of when #10 discusses qualifying... |

If I was running a team I would rather run in all 3 sessions and start in the top 10 on the grid, than only run in one or two sessions, and start further back. I think the current F1 system makes qualifying a great show. |

I think the best system for V8s would be to just give the whole field one hour and 10 or 12 laps (in and out laps don't count) to qualify.
Simple, fair and effective. |

This is the part of the Supercar circus that makes no sense. The driver has to be ultra careful in qualifying knowing that one pinch of the tyre may flat spot it and render it useless. A difficult parameter to work within, and something the trillionaires in charge of TEGA should be looking at. |

They allocated 12 'free' tyres, there are 14 events. So do they use .8571 of a new tyre per event?

edit - The 12 free tyres are bought off Dunlop to be used for test days and practice only. |

.... and then the normal race allocation for that track... .... plus if the team wants to they can draw tyres from the 12 they purchase from Dunlop for qualifying and Top 10. And they are allowed to keep 90 (I think) in their tyre bank. (and some of those they hand back in and get new ones as well) |

So thats 8 new tyres for practice at every event, plus an allocation of race tyres? Or does the 8 tyre allocation come from the 80 (not 90) that a car is allowed to hang on to?
At the AGP for example, if someone like Jacques gets 8 tyres for practice, and 8 tyres for the race, and runs on only 4 tyres all weekend, its a nice free kick for SCAR to have him as a driver |

Not sure on where the 8 comes from - from the bank as a rebate or they hand them back - I will try and find out. |

Last night Cochrane said there will be a new qualifying format next year. Since they are going to broadcast qualifying they want it to be exciting so do we think they'll implement F1 style qualifying? Or maybe A1GP style.
Is Top 10 part of "qualifying" in that sense I wonder... I quite like the shootouts - even though I might be more of a "purist" persuasion, they are very exciting. Winton was a good example. So I hope they remain. |

I'm all for the return of 'proper' qualifying, save the Top 10 for Bathurst.
