I plan for the thread to go til the week before the season starts. Allows the newbies in the upcoming weeks to have their say

Maybe the top 5/6 reversed would work well, I'm noisy not sure though. All being said though, there should be fantastic racing no matter what!

I voted for reverse...mainly because I am always in the rear, (no tuning skills) so when the field is reversed I do get to race the faster drivers for a little while LOL. Whether I finish last or not I still enjoy the racing and the new people you meet. Thanks for the series.

I actually think this is the most voted poll we have ever had and it's only been running for a day! Razz

by Beanz Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 9:43

That's because this is a more important vote than even the general election!

I voted for reverse because it would be fair to those in the lower lobbies to give them a shot at a race win instead of the same people winning all the time in the top lobbies.

by **Richy59** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 10:17

It'll only be lobby positions that will be reversed, like a reversed grid in the TCC. Not a full race position reverse where Lobby C becomes Lobby A.

by **ATR DAN** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 10:23

I see! My bad.
Pitty because it's still gonna mean that you're gonna have more or less the same winners in every meeting. It would be fair to give those in the lower lobbies a chance they normally wouldn't have.

I voted for reverse grid as it makes for some epic racing. I remember CQR Magic hunting us down from the back of the grid in race 2 of Infineon in the TCC, eventually getting 2nd place. I don't like to speak for others but I imagine he would of enjoyed that just as much as winning the first race.

Either way should be an amazing championship.

Reverse grid looks good,

Dan lobby only

by **Biggsy tv** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 14:08

How about over complicate things?

Reverse grid, then another reverse in groups of three

so example...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
to
13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
to
11, 12, 13, 8, 9, 10, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 1

scratch that, silly idea

too much I think Razz

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 14:12

yea Simon leave it as reverse lobby grid

by Hainesy Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 14:22

Something I would suggest but not really viable because of Forza's somewhat temperamental servers is relegation and promotion. Bottom 3 from race one get relegated and top 3 from the lower lobby get promoted for race 2. But I could only see headaches with people not being able to connect.

by **Biggsy tv** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 14:24

If it were possible simply, this is exactly what would be in the rules already, but as it isn't simple I can't

Think I'm swinging towards the top half of each lobby reversed, but we'll see in the weeks to come. Smile

Please don't do this lobby switching thing again, it really ruined tora for me the last time I experienced it.

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 23:54

Yea Gashi thats not going to happen ever Smile

Ok fair enough.

by Av8rTim Sat 9 Jun 2012 - 7:21

I liked the finish order from race 1. As a back marker I'm always concerned with holding someone up or ruining the race for someone. I race hard when I can but I like that if I am getting lapped, I know the leader has a lap in his pocket. So, he'll be more inclined to be patient getting around. I try to stay to the racing line as that is what is expected of me. Temper this with the fact I am not in contention at the front but enjoy the great racing at the beck.

This would make the most sense for me, just like the WTCC, the first 6 / 8 places from race 1 are reversed for race 2.

by **Biggsy tv** Sun 1 Jul 2012 - 18:52

Ok, going to confirm, race two will be REVERSE GRID!! affraid
