Maybe...do you mean that none Pro races should be raced unrealistic?
Sure...

This is the goal for us all? to be constant & fast for the full race length?
I just hope there would be online racing league with GPLength...
Lemme know, if you know one?
Thanks to Morgan for hosting GPLength in Kyalami, that was great :)
How about phone, doorbell? -> spin -> disconnect...
That's what I do too (most of the time). Hasn't made me crash less
though.... :-(

There are MANY drivers that will do a full Grand Prix length race in GPL.
For that matter, Any racing sim. The reason it's so rare is because (IMO) too
many are tired of being crashed out before the first turn. Why even attempt a
full race if you wont last a full lap?
I will say this though, I ran a full GP length race at Watkins on VROC. and
I see an occasional GP length race being run on VROC from time to time.
So, YES, there are those that can stay focused for over 7 laps.

As you say, why bother going to the trouble of spending an hour
qualifying for a good grid position, when you know there is a 50/50
percent chance of being taken out of the race by some over zealous,
have to win before the 1st corner, egg-head, and that's in a GP length
race.
These are my guesstimates for survivability in certain races, before
you are taken out through some idiots adrenalin rushed charge from the
back of the grid...
Novice: 10/90 That's 10% survival rate 90% surity of death...
Int: 30/70 As in above, just interpose % figures...
Pro: 40/60 Again as above.......
GP: 50/50 You know by now.....
These settings are based on my experiences in GPL on-line and are my
opinions only, they are not meant to be derogative of the many highly
skilled drivers who ply their trade in GPL on-line, in any way... <G>
