If all 6 team members run their own cars then each car track time is only 1 hour, so no more than a normal national/regional.
As much as i like the even car idea, i think it will put a lot more people of on cost grounds.

Steve - one question on the PT thing. Are you talking proper PT, or club hand out? I was just thinking if you have 20 club handouts that is 2 per team, so one in the car and one in the next car waiting in the chageover zone?
If you use PT, how do you propose to swap it between cars at change over? Not sure people will be happy plugging/unplugging the PT 30+ time in a day pulling on the wires etc?
just a thought

I think Jim lays out the reasons here why for a first stab at a team event I am expecting the decision to be to go down the route of each using own our cars. We could probably get a meeting running along these lines in Oct before it gets too cold.

Not sure about the transponder issue - even if we could get hold of enough handout transponders, do they last 6 hours without a charge? Would not personally want to be yanking a personal transponder in and out of my receiver in a hurry several times.
