Idea for new qualifying format

Recommended Posts

Why not introduce a reduced version of Q1,Q2 & Q3 qualifying for leagues. Either 3 x 1 shot qualifying or something like 6 minute Q1, 6 minute Q2, & 6minute Q3. This would add some more variety to online leagues and make the whole qualifying session relevant. Generally at the moment its just the last 5 minutes of qualifying that really matter.

I'm afraid 6 minutes wouldn't be enough to complete 2 quali attempts, especially on long tracks such as Spa and Abu dhabi

It's just simply an idea... The actual number of minutes could be changed. It could also be something that should be adjustable in game by the host. Why does short quali have to be 18minutes? host should have the ability to make it 12 or 10 minutes.

also 6 minute run doesn't give you enough time for 2 separate runs, but it give you enough time for 2 laps if you invalidate one.

Yeah you need to have time for 2 shots. 8 minutes might be enough. You can start your lap up until the clock expires. Even so, I can see that being too short for Spa Wet.

People will sit in the garage waiting for the track to rubber without a banker lap. If they can get two runs in, they can get on with it to ensure they do, otherwise at 6 minutes you get ^^ Compound choice is another plus of 2 runs.
