Looking forward to how Mercs weird steer thingy will help. Remember that? Seems like a decade ago.
Interestingly, the second of the back to back races will have a different qualy format. They are doing a 30 minute qualy race with a reverse grid based on current WDC points. So that'll be interesting to see if the leaders can make up 20 positions in 30 minutes, or how wide the "back field" can make their cars.
I'm not really sure how they will rank the back field for the first race, as their will be only one race before that, so 10 drivers will have zero points. I assume they'll use their finish order from the first race. And I wonder if that will lead to some sandbagging from the drivers out of the points. Better to be last, and start first at the qualy race...
