Very possible and could be an option, although not one I would choose.

Ok, got first 2 (I think), just need the 3rd one (actually I was in a good position in Spa before DNF this year).
About qualify: I think the problem with 1 lap qualy is that changing track condition (or driver errors) make it a lottery. Would it be possible to make 2/3 laps (with 1 qualy lap order) and then take the fastest one?

Remember Rod_vs, the season isn't over yet. Interested in seeing the new livery. Still retaining the green and white? Or will it be a new colour scheme?
Speaking of change, I'm still debating if I should work on a new helmet design for next season when I join SCR, or keep with the current design.

These ideas are all very good, but the problem with them is that you would have to edit the perf file to get the desired starting grid, which obviously is more work. We need to keep it simple.
2/3 lap qualy in the order of 1 lap qualy would take too long and over run the hour slot for the session and I'm not absolutely sure whether it is possible to do.

If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

I think a 20-minute session with everybody on track and the usual 12 laps would be interesting. It won't lack action IMO, and it'd simplify the task for the RDs. 22 screenies would do, as Ruben said.
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Activity Check
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls! Welcome all to this weeks edition of The Activity Check!
This time around we have two naughty drivers who have evaded our gaze this week and they are:
Josh Copeman (Team Shadow Mercedes) - Last Active: June 08, 2013 (3rd Warning)
Connor Steer (Snake Motorsports) - Last Active: June 22, 2013 (1st Warning)
As this is Mr Copeman's third warning he will be evicted from the series forthwith!
Tune next time on July 23rd for more evasive actions.

Had a look at the championship standings on the old format. Oh how I'd love that old points format to be working right now..
