Format

The format, unique to V8 Supercars and loosely similar to the Pukekohe 500 format, split the total distance of 500 kilometres into two separate 250 kilometre races each held on a different day. Points were assigned separately to the races, with more points allocated for Race 2 over Race 1, and they combined to award a round result.

gollark: Hmm, this is a possible concern I guess.
gollark: There might be helpers for that in the standard library, which this would actually have.
gollark: I would probably also drop forms since their functionality is fairly easy to replicate with the scripting capabilities.
gollark: Oh, and in terms of arbitrary preferences, I'd probably make some of the web APIs more functional programming™️ instead of using objects; instead of `URL` objects, you would just have a `parseURL` function returning a table of URL components, and `serializeURL` function... unparsing it.
gollark: Well, also the web is gigantically complicated and there's no hope of dislodging it.
