Should be based on speed only. I don’t like the new format. Should be based on speed only.

I should have noted the qualifying group next to the driver as well. Brandon Wagner was the only driver from Group 1 to improve his starting position with the new format. Sergey Mokshantsev and Pippa Mann were the only two drivers from Group 2 who were hampered by the new format. Just FYI. Thanks for the comment Andreas.

If there is a need to split the field into groups I think this is the way to go about it. There is just no way track conditions will ever be equal for both groups so having the grid decided by alternating the fastest times is in my opinion the fairest way to do it. Unless they off course would put all the fast drivers in one group and the Milka Dunos in the second (but I don't really think that was the case here).
