So every team would have a beginner and a better driver and people of gradual ability in between.
Pulling names out of a hat wouldn't work as you could end up with very unfair teams

So each driver ability is in order first less talented to last most talented and each stint is say 5 minutes it could even be 10 or more given how long lipo last so you end up racing the same people but in one long continuous race. It used to be brilliant fun and you really had to work a a team with pits ect...
Er. Funny that as you don't mention in any of your posts all you go on about is team endurance .............fool
