MODERATORS
Replace the sprints (and Monaco) with some kind of drivers exhibition.
Have them all race in the same car, a car that can be rented at that track. B that way fans can go to the track on track days rent they same car and see how they stack up.
This is a win in so many ways.
We get to see who the best drivers really are. It gets rid of stupid sprints. The track gets off season attention and money. Fan interaction, and so on.
Make it a kart race (most if not all of them come from karts, after all). Or see them all in F2 cars. Or something like that.
I would also like to see a virtual championship with all the actual drivers too. Some of them are already into eSports, but wouldn't it be nice to see them all compete in simulators? I don't know, I think it may be fun to watch. :P
Karts probably wouldn't be fast enough for those tracks, would they? It would be cool cus then it's even cheaper and more accessible and the recruitment possibilities. But I think they are probably too slow.
F2 is the exact opposite.
I had in mind normal people cars like GTRs or R8s or something in that field. Still fast, still sporty, but anyone could drive em.
Yes, you’re right, and I explained myself awfully. I meant a kart race, but not actually in the F1 track. More like a side event to entertain people. Some circuits have kart tracks around that can be used. But now thinking about it, I’m realizing that a kart track can’t probably accommodate the amount of people wanting to see the race. So, let’s forget about my dumb idea. Yours is actually good and feasible. XP
God damn, that is one fucking cool idea!
