Very happy for Charles!

But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

They need to spray the track with water at a random time to give us wet racing 🤪

Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school 'adventures' that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
Helmets made from leather
No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?
