Someone on here once posted the best idea regarding the joker lap and I wish someone would listen to them.
Joker laps are a good idea for the heats cos they give a driver the opportunity to get a competitive heat time even if they have had a slow start. They also (should) limit the number of people punting others off to get past, ruining at least one of those peoples' qualifiying times.
BUT they should be abandoned for the finals. Once you qualify into the final, it should be a straight fight for the line.
However, having said all this, has anyone thought about how they fit into the new IMG structure? I think it takes the point away from having a round robin (i.e. racing each other entrant) if you keep the joker lap. Imagine how stupid speedway would look with a joker lap and round robin format.
