It sounds really cool - my suggestion would be that each team only had one car. Now I know that's fine me saying that, but I would suggest it because a) there is no risk of cheating with multi-car lapping and b) team camaraderie is stronger for it.
It may be helpful for the F1 guys to use a (no disrespect) lesser standard racer's car to help them get it tuned in etc. in the longer term. 2.4 hrs racing is not a particualrly big ask on equipment, and you could always build in tactical "cooling down breaks" but in December, temp will be low, track will be slick, you will be generating very little heat because you will lap slower. Make 2wd the compulsory class too.
What could also be good is, ask a tyre manufacturer to sponsor the event, each team gets given 1 set of tyres 20 mins before the 2.4 hrs begins, they mount them up, glue them on, use the tyres for the remainder of the event. Could get an insert sponsor on the case too because then everyone is level.
As for your teams, 4 members, minimum combined formula of 12. So you could have 2 x F1 drivers in a team, but they would have to be accompanied by 2 x F5's. you could of course have more than 12, but 12 would be the minimum.
Let's do it!
