I have no real issue with the format itself ... Its more runtime and good practice for the pitman.
The problem I have is ...
If an engine is only required to run 3 1/2 minutes then pretty soon manufacturers will be producing ballistic engines that can only run 3 1/2 minutes.
At he moment I can go racing alone and call a favour for the mains ... its a lot of favours for a whole days racing under this rule.
Seems a little backward given that these days Lipo/Brushless cars can run longer (and faster!) and are attracting support because of this.
As far as I can see this will only serve to make gas touring cars more elitist and less accessible to new recruits to our sport. Surely this is the opposite of what we want?
Me no likee!
