Yes! This is the level of creativity I want!

I mean, Indycar has some good racing! Also, isn’t F2 and F3 a spec series too?

My real point is it would be interesting to see these drivers in the same car try and beat each other. Sprint races seem like a good place for that, but I could be wrong.

Hit a nerve I guess. I’m not arguing for Sunday to be spec cars and I enjoy the engineering of the cars and all those aspects of F1. I think you could make the argument though that if these are supposed to be some of the best drivers in Motorsport, how would they stack up in the same car? Is Max still number one if he and Lewis are in the same car!? The story for sprint races changes, and it could potentially be more interesting to watch.

I agree that some suggestions are terrible. Reverse grid is silly in most Motorsports.

Also, I watch a lot of motorsports, US and international. I’m just a fan of fast cars going around tracks, no matter what. All of them have something different to offer, and I appreciate that. I just think the sprint races, in their current implementation, is a poor way to get more eyes on a race weekend.

That would be fun!

And if you take the cost cap into it, it takes from anyone who wrecks their cars. The possibility of wrecking the car will cause shit racing.

For me, the only thing I want to see for a sprint race is to have them all in spec cars. It would be even better if they were different kinds of cars for each sprint. I don’t hate sprint races, I just don’t think they are being creative enough.

I had to hire a whole sweet of devs in a pretty large organization. We didn’t do a code challenge, but curated some questions to ask in the interview to get a gauge on their knowledge. This worked well for us and all the devs we hired have been doing great! I think your dev team should be allowed to interview and ask technical questions that are relevant to the work they will be doing, the hire the ones you like from that.
