Guys

A fair idea and may be worth organising, maybe worth considering:

1. 6hrs 10am - 4pm
2. 6 - 8 teams of 6 - 8 team members
3. Mixed teams with good and not so good to break up any dominance
4. Trophies for all up to 6 teams members 1 to 3
5. ideally someone has 2 of the same pt numbers to share between all drivers
6. Teams must only Marshall their teams car!
7. Non stop running unless lunch is provided by someone
8. 50 quid entry a team
9. One with most laps and best time wins
10. Everyone has their turn, no one driver does all the driving, as much as I would like to
11. Teams to be dicided by race director once team entry has been submitted
12. Team captain must be chosen and control order of drivers
13. Prize for best single lap?
14. Schumacher controlled tyre if supported
15. Maybe a yearly trophy with engraved team name and team members names?
16. There must be a Team name
17.

Lots to consider, I think a good idea but ideally a Particular weekend and some support with planning?

This is something I will help with but not totally facilitate offers would be required?

Thks Steve

Cool I p m you c u then

Deano577 · #8 31-05-2011

That sounds spot on

hotrodchris · #9 31-05-2011

Team Fandango!

6 boys from Clanfield did a similar thing last year it included fitting a flywheel and clutch, fitting the engine in the car, running it in and as many laps as possible in a set time period, i think driver change was every half an hour.

All engines were new and supplied as the clock started running.

jim76 · #10 31-05-2011

cracking idea, and i think Steve has some great ideas.

When i used to race years ago (1700 SCR and 13x2 motors!), we used to have an annual 5 hour race at a club in Ashford, Kent. It was the highlight of most racers year. This was back in the old manual lap counting days, so a pit stop was pull in to the rostrum and swap the velcro backed number from one car to the next!

If your club has hand out transponders, then these could be used. Either two of the same number for each team, or only one, forcing a "swap" of the transponder in a pit stop?

I'd certainly be keen to join a team. The problem with the 24 races is the wear on cars/equipment, hence the need to usually club together for a one-off chassis. But a 5-6 hour event with a team of 5 means only an hours running per car and only a few charges per pack of cells.

sounds like a hoot. I really enjoyed my visit on sunday thank you. Will you supply the friends? or would one need to bring a whole team?

Basically, money up front I think to ensure participation, but I think a team application form and a single form to ensure we can link up the drivers?

Would be quite exciting if the teams were set up fairly and everyone has a chance, lots can happen over six hours, maybe some extra twists could be thought up and add some more value to the meeting?

r1horn · #13 31-05-2011

Good feedback so far ,i am willing to help run the day if ok with stev.
put names in hat and pull names out for teams .
if you can think off was to spice thing up let us know like half way through the day stop and run the other way???????

Deano577 · #14 31-05-2011

Pit stop with wheel changes, i would pay In advanced

Randall34 · #15 31-05-2011

I guess driver stints would be the safe running time of your lipo before it cuts off, also any more than 20 mins and we would have fried esc and melted motors. Tyre changes and maintenance would be done within your downtime between stints.

If you have teams that are running the same chassis then you could have a common shell that gets transferred with a transponder attatched (although they probably won't last 6 hours without charging)

Randall34 · #16 31-05-2011

Dean - we should do a TORCH old boys team.......

super gripper · #17 01-06-2011

I like the idea, sounds like a plan !

How about having teams made up of makes of car, for example there are enough rango's for a team plus schumachers

then Steve would be the Tamiya Stig !

oh and Mark.

this idea sounds better and better............

Sounds good, looks like this enduro is a go er
you could copy the le man format of 2 types of car
but are case drivers.
Which ever you decide it will be a bit of fun

racingben · #19 01-06-2011

Sounds like fun!

Welcome to use my transponders for this if it helps. I have 2 full sets of handout amb 20 units.

maseace · #20 01-06-2011

well up for it, and making it competative at all standards will be a good thing so Steve would need to be in a team with craig for instance and work it like that.

Im not sure this is possible but also all having the same cars for each team running the race would mean it would fair, so setting a standard like a madrat with an 8.5 turn motor etc etc.

This means with the teams sorted out by standard and the cars the same it all down to the driver that look after the cars etc etc.
