Wie auch schon letztes Jahr zum VIR-Rennen, greift man auch jetzt wieder in die Trickkiste:
Zitat:Quote:
Grand-Am will be evaluating the following procedures during the upcoming races:
Second Chance
Beginning at the KONI Challenge Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Grand-Am will be initiating the Second Chance (yet to be sponsored) rule wherein the highest placed lapped car at the time of the wave by at the end of a full course caution will be waved by the overall race leader and get a lap back. This will be used in both the Rolex Series and the KONI Challenge Series races.
Mandatory Pit Stop
Beginning at the VIR event, all Rolex Series cars must make a pit stop with a minimum requirement that the car comes to a complete stop in their assigned pit box during the initial 45 minutes of the race. Cars must enter pit lane for the stop before the conclusion of 45 minutes. Cars failing to make that pit stop will not be scored until they make the stop. This procedure will be used exclusively by the Rolex Series.
Ich hoffe, dass verschwindet genauso schnell wie die unselingen Qualifikationsrennen. Nur wird es hier viel mehr im Auge des Betrachters liegen ob das ganze ein Erfolg ist oder nicht. Für die Action und die Nascar-Fans, die man momentan verstärkt ansprechen will, wirds ganz nett sein, aber irgendwie passt das nicht zu Sportwagenrennen...
