Today's race saw a safety car 10 or so laps from the end. Obviously bunched the field up and we where in far a scrap to the end. Good stuff.

But I've thought the races are too long for a while. As the middle section of today's race was very precessional. Possibly might be a case for two races in the same amount of air time...?

Wsb races have two races a meeting. F1 might needs a bit of a re shuffle, but seems doable to me.

Would really make drivers go for it more, can't see it happening though.

The most boring race for ten years has just produced the best. So why change decades of race length.

Because.... Once the first few laps are out the way, the teams are just waiting to get through to the end. Conserving tyres, checking fuel etc.

It's not until the last 1/4 of the race do things tend to get going.

So, remove half the race length so they have to gor for it from start to finish. Then have two races, so they have to do it twice. Double the points per event. Double the fun for the paying public.

Not sure what you mean by the most boring race has produced the best. Btw

For years Bahrain has produced a boring race didn't you watch them?
As for shortening the race, DON'T BE STUPID.

I think cleggy means that this race is normally pretty boring but wasn't today and I agree with him,I thought it was a cracking race

And I must bloody type quicker

I believe the word that you are looking for is 'strategy' - just as much a part of the race as the first and final pushes, and often just as entertaining.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Yes, just one lap would do! 

[Kevin Wood]

I reckon a quarter of a mile at Santa Pod would probably hold my  interest for the entire race.

It was only interesting AFTER THE SAFETY CAR, STUPID.

If it wasn't for Pasta flip that car over,... Oh never mind.

Freak off Muppet, they were racing down the field well before the safety car.If you don't understand the sport then shut the freak up. Okeh

Ypu find strategy more entertaining than full on racing?

Who said "more entertaining"? I said, "often just as entertaining". And don't call me Ypu

Ok, just as entertaining seems most odd to me. But each to their own I guess.
