I would love to do so, we could compete with more strategy in the weekly race, particularly the formula for open wheel formula (e.g. the F1 97 to understand us at this stage), maybe instead of 20 minutes, 40 minutes. I don't think it would change anything at the server level, but the races would certainly be more interesting. What do you think?

One hour races are literally holes in the schedule I won't touch because I find them boring unless there just happens to be someone RIGHT at my skill level. 20 minute races already turn into hotlaps after about 7 or 8 laps most races... so why anyone wants to prolong that punishment I do not understand.
League races where everyone is within half a second lap time of each other every lap? Great... don't even stop at 1 hour... do a 2 or 3 hour race if it suits your fancy. But in my opinion, even with the required pit stop and tire wear variables thrown in still don't add enough interest for me to spend that much time.

The current weekly F1 race should have been longer, yes.
Daily 1hr races wouldn't have much attendance, I think. And yes, those daily "minor formula" races should always be with fixed setups.
Amazing list of awesome achievements: 5th Lotus 25 2018, 4th DRM 2019, 5th Williams FW14 vs. Ferrari 643 2019, 3rd Ferrari 312T vs. Lotus 72D 2020

That wouldn't be enough time to leave the race, exit out, and register for the next race (you have to register before :55). I think at most you'd be able to fit within a single hour time slot would be maybe 35 minutes with 10 minute qualifying.
Aside from that, the "holes" I'm referring to are the 1 hour races themselves, not just the fact that it leaves the server unused for a large amount of time after they are over. I don't like them generally, so they essentially take up a 2 hour chunk of time I'm not going to be interested in racing in.

I would like to thank you publicly for having finally satisfied us. The 1 hour F1 race is a dream come true for me and many of us who asked for it. Sure, it will involve a lot of training work, but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. Thanks thanks thanks!!!
