The more you try to even the competition the more bias'd it becomes. If you limit each team to have to have a driver from each F catagory the top teams will just have drivers who are exceptionally fast but might not have raced nationals recently. So the quick teams will still have the quick drivers and the lower teams will have even less from the pot to chose from so they will probably end up being slower.

sorry ash, I didn't think we were arguing.
I was just stating the reasons why 'balancing' teams does not work, its best just to leave driver teams 'open' just like any other competition.

the idea and the spirit of the event is to get a bunch of your race buddies together and see how well you can do.

Mixing up abilities artificially doesn't work out as you might think. From experience running enduros at my club with teams put together based on ability to even things out generally ends up with the fastest drivers doing the most laps and the slowest drivers thrown on every so often to give them a go only when the fast drivers need a break. After all if you had Neil Cragg in your team and you wanted to win you would keep him driving as long as you could get away with.
If the F1s want to race let them, I'm sure there would be several works teams running and would add to the prestige of the event. Just get a team together with a few mates and enjoy the racing, there's bound to be another team with a similar pace to run against.

I think just let people be in whatever team they want, it would make seriously good racing if you had say 5 really strong teams, and 5 good mixed teams - you don't have to be concerned with winning the overall meeting but just gauging yourselves against other teams on similar levels etc.
Think how much better you'll be able to drive too after racing the same track on and off for 6 hours - it will only do wonders for your driving

Its a fun even so just go and have some fun! Where would the fun be for the f1's if they are so throttled down to try and slow them down that they have to drive at 110% to keep up with the middle men ?
Racing handicaps isnt particularily fun, it may level the fleet but it removes the enjoyment and takes away from the spirit of racing; 'the fastest man wins'. Surely if somebodys better than somebody else they deserve to do better on the track rather than being penalised for being good?

It would be fun to have possibly more than ten people racing at once have 20 people on at once that would be fun as keeping it clean would be more difficult and it would allow for more people to race
Possibly we could get onto one of the top uk distributors to try and put some prizes forwards for the winners. And possibly donate some of the takings to charity. A

Yea 20 is a bit much 12 is about right and yea it would be nice to not limit the amount of people in a team it would be cool to see if someone could do the whole 6 hours i would give it a shot aslong as i had a good pit team.

I think you would go blind trying to race for 6 hours
 It certainly would do your consistency a lot of good.

Simple handicap system would be that the lower your grade the earlier you have to start drinking or the more you have to drink during the race to avoid a penalty.
 Fun for everyone by the end of the race.
