It would feel more fair to me (for future race events) if winning the big, shiny team grand prize means that they don't qualify for the individual prizes, to prevent double-dipping. Otherwise, it feels like the Top 2 get the Lion's Share, while only one other person gets the scraps.

I feel like this could be easily alleviated by introducing rewards for top 3 teams, not just the best one. Team rewards in general will cover more people than individual ones, but especially in the case of a stacked team taking part in the tournament.

• We were mostly on schedule, no unnecessary delays. A 5-minute break between tracks is awesome.
  
• I was mostly aware of race status. Stages, groups, results.
  
• The calculation of the results & points was top-notch.
  
• Reduced # of laps for a longer track.
  
• Me win prize
  

• Multiple qualification attempts simultaneously. In drifting your car is alone on track, so you won't have any distractions during the qualification.
  
• Randomness in the amount of players per group during qualifiers. It doesn't feel competitive when one group goes with 4 players, and the next one starts with 6.
  
• Lap-system for Valley Forge track. The specifics of the track made it so the results were mostly random. If I would complete the track during the race, even with an average result, it would have been enough for me take the lead despite competing against two much better racers than me @TheSauron & @Emperor Tekagi, just because they failed to complete the track as it intended during the qualifiers.
  
• I got confused why you would need our overall track time, since I'm not seeing that in the event description. It felt to me that I've lost some initiative by not knowing that.
  

• Making copies/instances of the track for the event day if it is possible, so there would be overall less people on track during the qualification. Alternatively, the qualification may be separate from the main event, although I don't think this is a good decision because it will defocus the public's attention.
  
• Keep the amount of racers per group as even as possible to ensure equal conditions for all
  
• For Valley Forge and alike, I'd say make it not lap-based, but time-based or give a fixed number of attempts to show the best time. Maybe someone would think it's good to have a track that shuffles everything and makes it hard to predict who is going to win, which is good for betting, but although I don't see much competition in this, I believe this track should have been the second after the Monte Carlo. After MIB gained the advantage on a harder track, something unlucky should happen to them to lose on a much stable (easier) track. So there is almost 0 intrigue on the winner.
  
• Probably add another referee or two, so that you won't be overwhelmed by the number of people demanding your attention. It's up to you, I think you did well.
  
• I had that idea for my Cruiser Tournaments: I wouldn't mind providing some fluff about my racer or a team, so the non-participants could use that in their roleplay. Like, imagine some TV reporter narrates about the track, participants, and scores of the Grand Prix. Imo, it's an awesome content for the stream and to encourage betting.

This point is not true. In real-world motorsport like Formula 1, DTM, 24h of Nürburgring, and so on, or in other words, Sprint or Endurance formats running with a Qualifying Season, where all Cars run on the same Track. The Teams and Drivers need to find the right way to join the track and need to find the right setup and tire temperature to go for a Hot Lap. In short, it's coordination. If were are too many cars for the track, like you have during the 24h races, you have multiple seasons for different groups of teams and drivers. In fact, you are never alone on the track, even in qualifying, there is competition .

In general, you only have one single Qualification season for you as a driver. And this Qualification decides where you will start in the real race.

BUT...

During this event, much stuff has been done to keep Time standings in check. The solution was not the best, but currently, there is no technical solution to have a command, for example, that says/race grand prix or /race qualifying. Much stuff has been done manually and in smaller controlled ways, meaning that, imo, there needs to be a technical solution to track times and hosting real qualifying seasons without the need for a host taking a few racers with him/her to start a race for monitoring the times of everyone.
