There is going to be the trophies to hand out, the raffle to do and a chance for people to have a break to charge batteries and nibbles, so I think 45 mins per race is more than enough time Maz.
We want the evening to be very relaxed and chilled out so no rush to get racing...
As for the pic I added with the track and pits - maybe I didn't make it clear, when I labeled them Pit 1,2,3 I didn't mean that's where everyone is with tables and kit, just where the car is pulled in and PT transfered, so teams would only be in those squares during a car change. Still plenty of track to enjoy.
As for the racing itself, again, we tried to make it very simple so that after halfway through the 45min race I will announce the change over from TC to Mini/Micro. All team members only need to complete 1 lap in each 45 minute race for the team to qualify for the overall positions. It's up to the teams how they decide to split up the driving stints, as some drivers could run for 8+ minutes if they wish. Trying to oversea how long people drive for will be a nightmare - so it doesn't matter how long drivers are on track.
Let's leave it to the teams to decide how they want to race, that way it makes for a more interesting race - will long stints and less changeovers be quicker then short stints and more change overs - can drivers run for 8+ minutes without fatigue...
At the end of the day as this is the Xmas Party Meeting we should follow the gold rule of KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid
Can't go wrong then...
