It was ages ago, but we used to do a 'Team' race which was run at a model show near Aylesbury. I think Richard Bartons dad used to run the meeting, but we had 4 cars per team and just used to swap the transponder over. We had about 8-10 minutes on track per each driver. I think each race was 30 minutes and their was about 8 cars on track at any one time (or 8 'teams'). I think that you could easily do this nowadays so maybe an hour or 45 minutes would be possible. With Spektrum, crystals would not be the problem they once were, since all members of the same team had to be on the same crystal, to prevent interference issues.

There was about 3 30 minute 'heats' in total, and about 2 to 3 sessions (or rounds) so you had time to make repairs and marshall.
It was ace!
