Now don't anybody flip out here please lol. This is just something that's been on my mind for a very long time now and has been brought back to life with Davey's idea to renew attempts to BOP the Aston for League.
Given peoples different time commitment, talent level and natural ability there will always be a rather wide gap between the fastest drivers and the slower drivers. This is the reality and I think we've struck a good balance so far in keeping everyone in the race.
I propose possibly adding another layer to this and that is via weight reduction for off pace drivers, specifically a lesser fuel load. Now we're not talking about a lot of fuel being removed simply because everyone needs enough fuel to finish the 50 minute Main Race. Maybe something in the neighborhood of 20 litres (for example) less for Drivers more than 2 seconds/lap off the pace of the fastest League lap times.
Anyway it's just a thought and I'd love to hear your feedback on the matter.
EDIT: I just want to add that I firmly believe the more we do to close the gap between the fastest and slowest Drivers, the more attractive (and FUN) our League becomes. It also clearly demonstrates the means we'll take to ensure everyone has the best racing experience possible.
