Multi-Class Endurance Championship Season Four

I think the main problem is everyone wants to loath a car less, it will make them feel better and by that alone they could improve their laptimes.
Problem is mostly time and the fact that its so annoying (and expensive) to change your setups all the time between trying it out on a track, so not everyone can do that.

I already die of the grind that is earning money, I just can't spend extra hours in my day to find the right setup. Its painful. Its why I never bothered to change my setups for anything.

Knowing nothing about the previous MCEC, so maybe this is all settled Nodo law by now, but why no discussion on grid position, starting procedure and qualifying? This seems like important factors potentially determining the race outcome with many different options available, and the first 20 seconds of the race is just as important as the next 20 minutes. I always thought it an interesting idea to have one lap of non-contact qualifying to determine grid-position just pre-race.


Also, what is the reasoning behind 3 GT classes, which seems like a Nodo default? Is it an integral part of the race that the fastest will lap the slowest, and to make that practical the slowest drivers must have slower cars for easier passing? Seems the racing could be just as good with everyone in the same car, but still starting in different staggered groups. If passing is a fun randomish element, why not start GT3 even later (catchup sooner) or even first, maybe even with faster cars? Too much mayhem, easier to pass them once they have settled into their place/pace and gotten past the first incident-prone first few laps? These are not proposals, just questions, trying to dissect the Nodo-formula of an ideal race for my own curiosity. I'm guessing it's to add some spice to GT1 lappers over a long race, and to make the slower GTs feel part of the race, without directly competing/comparing with the fastest??

if people still have something they want to say as long as they do that in a respectful manner i see nothing wrong

You cant just draw an imaginary line whenever you feel the discussion is over when people have more stuff they want to post and discuss imo anyway
also i havent posted my opinion im just being supportive of those who have/are

Everything like this is already decided and or common sense.

I agree that if old points are just getting reiterated it's a pain to trawl through, but from my perspective it's been weighted in favour of one side. I just wanted to show that there are more people defending doom's original point if Broughy was looking at this democratically.

As for new points, this is an endurance race. Therefore the finishing positions should be determined by the quality of the driver, not the details of the car. 1 tenth of a second per 1 minute lap equates to 1 minute 30 in a 1 hour 30 race. That's a huge amount of time. I don't think any person deserves that much of a bonus, simply because they've spent 10 hours perfecting their set up.

I wouldn't say that there are more people defending Doom's point. Tsupernami

Looked equal to me so far.

I think it's lost in translation, from my perspective there were less defending him, and I wanted to show that there were more that hadn't yet commented. If in a group of 300 only 15 have spoken with a split of 5 to 10,I don't think they represent the majority.
