To all participants,
The PRL Nascar league on Mondays is doing something really interesting and helpful for everyone, and I thought we should do the same for the sake of our 49 driver grid.
They are doing two rounds of grid start rehearsal during the practice session. And they do it for every race, not just the first race.
So what they do is, someone announce on the voice chat that all drivers should get on the grid for the first practice start. Then everyone gets on the grid, no order is needed, so first come-first serve. Then someone announces the green flag, and everyone goes for 1 lap, but they don't finish that lap. Instead, they all get on grid positions again and do a second rehearsal. It only takes 5 mins if everyone follows the instructions.
Although, this is not a perfect rehearsal, just doing this couple times will help most people get use to start from the grid. I guess most of us are used to it by racing in iracing. But, believe this, things are different when you are in a league, there is WAY more competitiveness (testosterone

) around the grid, and people will be looking to make position at the start. And honestly, they should do it, because if we are here (PRL), is because we want to compete, right??? BUT, we need to do something to at least make sure we have a good, fair, and respectful competition.
I think we should do the same. I mean we have a grid that looks like an endurance grid, 49 drivers, and two different classes, fast and slow cars. If we don't do anything, a lot of us will not even make it to turn 1. I know a crash will probably still happen, but at least I think we will reduce the risk of crashing on the starting grid. I want to make it to the first turn at least
Please give me thumps up

if you agree with this idea. If we collect enough people, then we should go for it.
