screm 8,057 Posted May 17, 2019 First one but I think the SGP qualifying could be a success, came over great on television, not sure about in the stadium but overall a success IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OveFundinFan 4,142 Posted May 17, 2019 1 hour ago, NeilWatson said: As I understood the rules, any lap started within the one minute time allowance could be completed, however the recording appears to be limited to four laps? Jason Doyle was the only one that recorded a fifth lap, and he was the first to go. Think the others realised that after lap one they would be going slower, and apart from one or two I think that was the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,142 Posted May 17, 2019 Possibly I could say it was alright, but after the next round the novelty may have worn off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Carter 62 Posted May 18, 2019 Maybe not a great TV spectacle but I bet it's given Robert Lambert a huge boost going into this meeting. Just needs to nail some effing starts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted May 18, 2019 The most enjoyable part was the jostling for a good starting number after the qualifying times were listed. It was interesting for the purist who enjoys riding styles and it was only a little less of an on-track boring spectacle than the average whole match in the PL. Also, it lasted a lot less time than they do and so retained it's interest better I thought. Clearly, the first rider out ( Doyle ) and the first out after the grading ( Zagar ) do have an advantage, however minimal. The time differences were minimal anyway and I bet the three who will take pot luck are not last after the GP is finished. Zagar showed his intelligence by sussing out what you really had to do and smashed it on his single lap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Carter 62 Posted May 18, 2019 Do you think it would be better setting times over 4 laps from the tapes? Draw of riders dependent on current sgp position ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted May 18, 2019 I really hope the roof was shut. The Thunderstorms during the night were enough to wake me up several times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
