in free play, there is a setting for the grid ordering. beneath it, “ascending” with yes and no options. the tool tip refers to “best lap set as grid ordering”. i cant see this option. for the most part im liking these new menus but this is throwing me off. am i just being dumb and “reading it wrong” or is this something that can be changed? the only grid ordering option i seem to have is “pi”.
The only option you have is PI, the text is wrong. You used to be able to do series racing with points, you could set up a 2 series race with the first as qualifying and the second would order everyone based on laptimes. That isnt possible in FM7.
TY again bud 
thats a bit of a bummer. fingers crossed it will be fixed down the line.
