The handicap hasn't really worked that well. In retrospect, I think that the handicap should have applied from Race 2 (not Race 4) and that way you might have had a few changes in the lead - you could then abandon handicapping with two or three races to go.
i think the number of wins as a secondary deciding factor is traditional across most mostor sport, the issue here is the handicap is too much of a handicap at some tracks, there is no victory in beating someone around monza who's in a BT7, especially when theres a championship riding on it.
Just trying to sow some seeds of doubt with the maths earlier
I need all the help I can get with the BT7/Cooper at Monza :'(
My thoughts on this are quite simple. The handicapping rules were outlined to everyone at the start of the championship. I know that the rules also state "handicapping may be suspended on a race by race basis if the circumstances warrant it", but I say stick as we are Paul.
With the typical full grid for the final race, achieving that podium finish to hang onto the championship lead will be a very tall order. Particularly with Clutch, Gareth, Dave, Norm et al in faster machinery. Note subject to any moderation my position may be even worse.
But I am happy to race in the BT7/Cooper for Monza. Why? Because failing in a BT7/Cooper or a Lotus would be a disappointing and frustrating end to a hard fought season. But at least in a BT7/Cooper it will be a lot of fun trying.
As for number of wins, lets hope it does not come to that.
