2 class racing worked out great in LFSGT with a few exceptions (Aston). Even in Westhill with those narrow and fast turns I can't remeber any problems. I still voted for "One class racing" because it gives more opponents on the same level and not just overlapping.
As far as I understand it we do a normal qualifying with 15-20 Minutes. After that we do a one-lap quali with the top 10. So the whole process would take 20 + 10 minutes if 3-4 people are on the track at the same time. I don't see why it should take 30 minutes for the shoot-out itself...
If we use reversed grid then I think Top 8 would be enough.
I fully support the Shoot-Out! It would run like this. In that way it doesn't take much time. The qualifying itself could take only 15 minutes. I'm fine with the rest.
