yes, but at what time does a slow lap become "too" slow

[Denthúl]

Depends on the track, really. Maybe 20-30 seconds longer than usual without any offs or problems?

[kezza7]

yeah or like 10 secs per sector would make sense

[darwin dali]

or 107% in each sector.

[kezza7]

It'd be easier just to say that they can't slow like that unless it's unavoidable (i.e. they can prove a technical failure or there's a serious accident that they have to get around safely).

yes, but wheres the cuttoff point? 107% makes sense but mosely doesn't want to look a fool

[stonemonkey]

But again, there's going to be a slight problem on the final sector as the cars don't cross the start/finish line on in laps.

[al4x]

107% to the pit lane line?

[darwin dali]

But again, there's going to be a slight problem on the final sector as the cars don't cross the start/finish line on in laps.

At least it would be reduced to the third sector then. They could take the time in the pits and come up with a formula, maybe 110% or whatever, which factors in the slower speed in the pits, but also the shorter distance traveled.

i am a boy despite my picture!

al4x, yes you are a boy, but not despite your picture, rather because of the deer picture

or we could just say you're going slow thats 5 places down

No, you need specific parameters, guidelines to follow...

oh well i am sorry lol anyway yeah 107% sounds good.....

They have to sort out this fuel saving crawl that drivers do when the time is up otherwise we get the situation we are in now.

All they need to do is stop this bloody "qualify on your race fuel" nonsense and get back to proper qualifying where drivers just go for it and drive their nuts off.

Problem solved!
