I knew the region split was coming as that was 1 thing mentioned in Monaco. I believe the Australia/New Zealand split from Asia was due to new Zealand having to race at stupid o clock? I think they said it was 2am, but don't quote me on that, which does make more sense. Americas I know was due to the latency issues. We did mention EU and how crazy it was but nothing confirmed.
Although I have to say I'm ridiculously disappointed in that FIA update.... You can enter every race!? You're going to see people who literally have a spare 5/6 hours a night dominate it. It's worth noting that in any interview (Minus GTPlanet but you guys know your stuff already
) I was involved in at Monaco time spent was always brought up. I always said it didn't matter that much because I knew it was 1 shot. This changes it which is sad to be honest. There isn't a chance I can get time off work to commit to even 4 hours racing a night, I struggle to get home on Wednesday for the 2 (I'm literally sprinting home, overtaking the 40 mph club folks, getting in, microwave and kettle on overtime while I leg it round the house and try prep the stream at the same time)! Lets hope it's just a test thing though and they go back!
I still don't get why they can't just change a flag during the grid or at least after the qualifying session from 0 to 1 to say they've entered that race.
Interesting time for a break between seasons, I'm assuming this is to give them space for the patch, would have loved to have seen some form of break over the Christmas period but I do understand that not everyone celebrates that.
