No overall change to the length of the day, same track time for the A guys (but a different challenge) and a boost for the B final guys. Also might change the winners circle a bit as longer finals might suit some more than others.

the guys who are at the top of nationals also do 8th rally cross and are used to longer finals, you can allways tell an electric racer at thier first few ic meetings, they start loosing concentration after 5 mins...
