MODERATORS
Why not put up some hot wheel ramps and let them jump over those billionare boats for extra racing points?
Did I miss the memo that more pits = better racing? Under what criteria?
To be fair, each Monaco Grand Prix I pray for rain or an accident to spice things up. But an extra pit stop doesn't feel like the correct solution. (still waiting for someone at the F1 Commission to suggest spraying the track using sprinklers)
I pray for smaller cars, but I'll settle for sprinklers
All fans can bring one (1) banana peel to use during the race.
Have them race in spec go karts. There, problem solved.
Ill keep saying it, put them in the F1 academy cars for Monaco and let's see how they stack up.
So how many extra "exciting racing pitstops" are we talking about? 2? 5? or just make it 10.
Pit crews have to wear oven mitts during the pit stop
Solution for Monaco is joker lap. Make it so you have to make two or three joker laps (with a big difference) and see how if affects strategy. Would be like a pit stop, but with more racing and less pit stop error randomness. You just have to convince Monaco principality to close even more roads!
