    Brilliant Idea.
    Considering in general the faster and more powerful cars would be up the back, then expect this:


    As Mr Villeneuve once said, Formula One is too safe. Perhaps encouraging the potential to cause cars to become airborne, and cause death is a good thing?

    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    If God wanted that kind of drama at every F1 race, He would make it rain every GP weekend

    And where exactly in the article does he mention reverse grids?
    You can't make a person love another person. You can only pray for it.

    Stupid rules => stupid consequences :s

    is it just me, or do you think that if the teams knew that the qualifying results where going to be swapped for the race then no one will by trying to get pole? whats the point if your gonna start last!

    anyway they have tried reverse grid races here in australia and every time they tried it it was a dismal failure. Reverse grid races reward mediocre drivers and thats not what F1 is about

    Exactly. If we had a reverse grid race at the Oz GP one of the Hondas or Toyotas would probably have won and I'm pretty sure that no one would argue that either deserved to win that race.
    Forza Ferrari!!

    exactly!

    but since we(including crash.net) brought up the topic all I have to say is that artificial measures the "enhance the show" are stupid, I just don't get why some people thinks F1 is just overtaking.
    anyway if you don't like it don't watch it! if you want easier overtaking watch MotoGP, if you want crazy speeds but little real racing watch IRL, if you want a crash fest watch NASCAR...
    Fan of Timo Glock and proud of it! :champion: 3 podiums, new start as a Virgin :p

    As said, artificially implemented reverse grids will not do anything to spice up the action. The answer lies predominantly in aerodynamics.

    Otherwise, if F1 action isnt good enough for you, just watch MotoGP!
