So, I am aware that this would be something really difficult to implement, but I'm also not suggesting as a quick update, but more a long time project.
Everyone knows how exciting qualifying often is, seeing drivers sometimes pull off unreal performances just to shave off hundreds, if not thousands of seconds to fight for pole.
I think that we should have some of this action for league races, perhaps a 20 minute short qualifying session that would happen an hour, or even 30 minutes before the scheduled race start, and it could also be something where players had no control, with everything being fully automated.
I think that having some sort of live qualifying would not only help with excitement, but also realism.
