V8 Supercars Series 2012 Questions
Ok Guys need some info On what you would like for the 2012 V8 Supercar Series (Remember this are only the races that follow the V8 Supercar Calendar not the Fill in Series)
So I have 3 Seperate Questions
Last Year for the main V8 supercar Series we ran broke it down into 4 seperate Series. Do we want to go this way again or one big series?
Secondly For the V8 supercar Calendar we Aimed the Total Night to be 2 hours in total. For this to work Basicly it was
10mins Qual
10mins Warmup
Race 1 35 - 37 min Race (I worked how many laps we would need)
10min warmup
Race 2 35 - 37 min Race (I worked how many laps we would need)
Are we happy to run this format again for the main series or one of the other options in the list
Other fill in series we usually try run a format of 2 x 15 min races 1 x 30 mins
Last Year at the start we run a tyre both Sprint tyres and Controls at each round. The sprint tyre was available for one stint for the night. So For Example during a two race night where 1 or stops were required to make the distance you could have Sprint tyres on for one stint between pitstops and in race only. We had some issues and switched back to not using this mid way through the series. With the 2011 version the Sprints don't last as long so doubling stinting would not be possible and the issue wouldn't be as bad with this version
Please select one option for each question

My 10 cents worth
With 1 long race, if someone has an issue, their racing is over for the night, however with multiple races, they have another chance.
I liked the 1 set of sprints per meeting, but we still can't tell if someone uses 2 sets or more... and that could cause friction /accusations??? (unless they fixed this with the 2011 update?)

Pre 2011 update you could see your own tyre change but no one else's... We will have to arrange a test..

i like the year broken down into 4 Series, but i also thought there would have been an overall podium
im sure one of the admins said that during the year
maybe that changed with the new points system

choseing what tyres suit differnt tracks and pits lenghts plus speed limits is a big part of the night i think,
and mixes it up, if you cant do the race on a set of sprints and the pits are long go controlls chose the wrong tyres and bad luck, we have seen tracks that there were less than a second differnce going 1xset controlls or 2x sets sprints in a 30 min race, exciting stuff

I like the more races the better so I went with 3x25 more time for people to come in.......
And I also liked the one whole championship so it's just like the real thing....
Finally I ticked the box where the unleashed allows u to use the tyres given in the way it is following the main series tyres
