I was checking the team's list and it occurs to me that there are 10 teams. That's up to 20 drivers per console. That's two less than the OP says for next-gen and four more than can fit in old gen.
Either some teams on old-gen will have 1 player while others have two... or there are just too many teams. My suggestion to fix this is go down to 8 teams, 2 drivers per team on old-gen and 3 drivers per team on next-gen.

I guess I'm at a bit of a disadvantage never actually seeing an f1 race. On this side of the pond, Nascar is racing king. So I'll have to try catch all the little things. One suggestion I can make after watching some of the videos. It seems so often that one or two guys usually just get so far ahead of everyone, no one will ever catch them. So why not have a caution in the middle of the race. Allow all the cars on the lead lap to close up and lapped traffic to the back of the pack. It would require a little bit of coordinating, but would make the second half of the race more competitive.

I could see how the concept would work. Like halfway through the race at a given lap everyone has to slow their pace down an extreme amount or just enough for everyone to get bunched up again and then have a rolling start to get things going again. That is more how Nascar is. I know F1 is just safety car comes out for a given time and then leaves the track and boom race starts again. Not favoring this idea, also not against it but definitely a concept that could work. |

I'm a huge NASCAR fan as well, with little F1 background. The idea is interesting, but it's a huge disadvantage for the guys up front, who have been nailing their lines consistently to build that lead. That being said, it could also allow for more competition and give an opportunity to the guys that got screwed over by circumstances outside of their control (getting caught up in someone else's crash, glitches, random lamp posts, etc.). |

This is my suggestion. Since we are already talking about making a pit stop and someone was going to have to watch and time to verify that everyone complied, make that our caution instead. Lets say for example that lap 20 is the halfway mark that we choose to pit/caution. The leader then enters the pits and stops. All cars must pull into the pit behind the leader when they come around until all are in the pits. All cars lineup into there running order before leaving the pits. Most cars will already be entering in that order anyway except for the lapped cars. This will naturally leave all the lapped cars in the back and they still remain a lap down. While some will look at this like a penalty to the leaders, it will ensure even more competitive racing through out the race. For those who got caught up in minor instances and fell behind but remained on the lead lap, their hard work is rewarded. They don't have to press too hard to catchup and get in further trouble, but can be patient. For the lapped cars who don't have a chance to win, they are now bundled back together and fighting for position. For the leaders? Did you really want to be running alone hot lapping? Sure it's great to be miles out front winning, but this crew is used to that anyway. We all signed up here because we wanted more competition. If i need a pick my ego up I can enter any random lobby and run way out front anytime. While this nascar kind of thing might be as foreign to you as F1 racing is to me, who says we can't take the best of concepts from both. In Nascar the best car or driver doesn't necessarily win. The driver who raced hard but seized the moment at the right time often wins the race. Thats great racing. Just my opinion.

What everyone is suggesting is essentially a caution lap with a pace car. Pace car comes out, nobody can pass the pace car or anybody else. When pace car leaves the track, race resumes.
Typically this forces all the cars to bunch back up. While the drivers (especially the ones in the lead) tend to dislike this, the fans love it because it makes the end of a race less dull.
As for mandatory pits, they really are in practice no different than doing a joker lap on broughy's version of rally cross.

I personally don't want to do this, as it would take out of the F1 aspect of this event (as in all F1 races, the field is quite spread out). This suggestion would also take out of the midpack battles, which can prove to be quite fun and interesting. However, if this idea gets enough support, I'll choose to use it. I'll create a poll. |
