I'm not sure if this has come up in any other thread (if so, apologies for starting a new one)..
But can anybody please tell me why we have reverse grid races again?
I don't understand it. Winton was the first full round I've watched this year because of this very reason.
How does it positvely effect the championship?
Is it so the catagory can earn more advertising $$ with the different sponsored backmarkers getting more coverage on the TV?
So far everyone I've asked about it up to now, doesn't enjoy it.
I haven't heard anyone say "'Cause car crashes are cool!".
What was wrong with last year? The racing was great & the championship position points were close & exciting - all with no reverse grid.
Furthermore, why would I want to spend $40 for a Saturday or $50 for Sunday ticket, plus another $15 - $25 for a pit pass, to go to Oran when there is a good chance of seeing my favourite team get belted out of contention? I just want to go see them race hard & clean & earn their position.

As you can probably tell, this frustrates the @&%# out of me, I couldn't even begin to imagine how it makes a team owner feel.
*phew* Thanks for the ear - I feel better for getting that off my chest.

Hang on to your hats fellas, reverse grid was just the intro. Cockos next brain child will be "reverth rathing".
Yep, I can see it now, 32 - 620hp cars, flat biscuit in reverse.

It will be the coming together of V8 supercar meets the smash up derby. It will be HUGE.

Entertainment plus.

C'mon cocko, listen to the fans , drivers, and team owners, you had a go, you trialed it, and no one likes it.... Now drop it!!!

I can see it now;

- An unnamed team being fined for ECU wires to illegal parking sensors.

- No drive-throughs: they'd be replaced by three-point turns.

- Scrutineering for non compliant reversing lights.

- More complaints of turkeys "not using their mirrors"

- Another young "star" complaining about set-up, wrong-slotted the gearbox "and it got worse, we just went forwards down the grid all weekend"

BRING IT ON!

Reverse grids are a total WOFTAM! If the etams don't want it and the fans don't want it, p#@s it off. If TC reckons he wants to give the fans what they want, then it is time he proved it!
