1: Should wet races return to ToCA?
14-1 to vote in favour. Probably be pre set and determined when season schedule is published. Might have to dust off the Spa wellingtons however.
2: Should success ballast be implemented?
A 10-3 vote in favour, yet I still feel it isn't a great idea artificially handicapping especially with two reverse grid races. I think having a couple very fast runaway drivers last season or two has tilted everyone in this direction. Also there is the argument of if weight can actually help your car handling.
3: Narrow down car manufacturers from 8 to 6?
Since ToCA7 (I think) we've had 8+ makes on the grid. This will change. From next season be just the six cars.
4: Qualifying - cut it down?
Mix of results with people suggesting that it should be cut down, or just Q1, or not at all. A hot lap was even mooted. I suggest from next season 10/10 sessions for tracks with a lap of under two minutes, and 15/15 for longer circuits. Would also require fixed pre set Qualifying times.
5: Night Race - return?
8 say yes, 3 say maybe, 2 say no. I say yes myself, expect a night race if a suitable circuit is found.
6: Bathurst - double points race?
Mixture of yes and no here, but 8-7 for No. I am split myself. However might spice this seasons races up...
7: 3 car teams - Yes Or No
Majority vote to no.
Also expect first ToCA13 news within 48 hours
