This will mean less time for the next heat to get on the track, OR a longer gap between heats = a longer day.

That's what happens to me sometimes, i've gone over the loop just in time for a last lap, but by the time I'm finishing that lap the next heat are walking onto the rostrum and the marshalls aren't always paying attention to my car by the time I finish my race. Also sometimes I have gone through for that extra lap, and by the time I finish the lap the computer has stopped counting and says 'race over' just before I cross the finish line. That makes me feel a little bit sad inside.
