Home from Hockey, and caught up on the DVR.
I LOVE the new format. It's really nice to see a race like this one where more than the last 10 laps matter.
I've ALWAYS thought every lap should matter, and the only way to do that is to award some sort of points per lap lead. You simply have to give the drivers incentive to not only with the race, but to win every lap, and this is a step in that direction.
If it ends up where I'd like it the race winner would get 500 points, and each lap would result in what amounts to a fraction that, when added up, would total 450 points. Then, the person with leads the most laps gets 50 bonus points.
So 1,000 points are awarded each race, with the theoretical maximum a driver could earn being all 1,000 points. But realistically nobody would ever get 100% of the points. But every lap would matter, and racers have a good reason to race for the lead every lap.
