cracking idea, and i think Steve has some great ideas.
When i used to race years ago (1700 SCR and 13x2 motors!), we used to have an annual 5 hour race at a club in Ashford, Kent. It was the highlight of most racers year. This was back in the old manual lap counting days, so a pit stop was pull in to the rostrum and swap the velcro backed number from one car to the next!
If your club has hand out transponders, then these could be used. Either two of the same number for each team, or only one, forcing a "swap" of the transponder in a pit stop?
I'd certainly be keen to join a team. The problem with the 24 races is the wear on cars/equipment, hence the need to usually club together for a one-off chassis. But a 5-6 hour event with a team of 5 means only an hours running per car and only a few charges per pack of cells.
