Common Sense GT car rules revision!

Bobby DiDomenico said, "And count me in on the WORST red light deal. I've been told the fans wouldn't understand it."

What's to "understand"???

The way it is now, only one red light shows.

With the "worse red light" system only one red light will show; the worse one, and it will show as the 2nd car leaves the line..

There might be some minimal confusion by spectators, if there's a big handicap and the first car has the worse red light; that light would not come on until the 2nd car leaves, which could be 3 or 4 seconds after the first car to leave has launched.

That's the only way there could be any confusion, as I see it, and I think the spectators could get used to that, in view of the benefits this system would bring with it.

But
1. It's probably never gonna happen, and
2. If it ever did happen, the incidences of the 2nd car red lighting worse than the first one will be few and far between. That happens very seldom...

So, I don't think that "spectator confusion" will ever be much of a problem with a worse red light ystem.

The racers, themselves, would be unaware it was even in operation until after both cars have left the line because the first car's red light is delayed, and wouldn't turn on before the second car leaves the line.
