Cheers for the advice guys. What gearing was you running?

The recomended gearing is 34/87 but some will go higher and some will go lower, depends how fast you want to fry the motor ;-)

On the Saturday of the test weekend a few teams played with ratios and I think most teams ended back on the recomended gearing.
However that was on a different layout! |

John & co..
question.. Would it be possible to leave the big urn for heating the hot water in the cafe area topped up & on the boil & made available so us poor racers in need of a caffeine fix to help us stay awake can bring our own tea/coffee making supplies without the need to bring a kettle & risk tripping the electrics or commandeering Mr Plimmers kettle to make a brew. |

Also 15 mins could be a bit harsh on the driver it happens to if you are trying to split time between drivers as equally as possible |

Whilst I'm inclined to agree, it does at least ensure parity - five minutes doesnt leave a lot of time for error, meaning a check could overrun for some teams, or may mean that the scrutineers miss the large sharpened spike strapped to the front bumper. Stickers are a good idea I think. |

Also how much is going to be able to be changed between the 1st and 2nd in race checks? The car will be on track most of the time. I would have thought that 10 mins would have been more than enough to check the cars then a 2nd check of 5 mins. As John said in a previous post the check will most likely not take more than 5 mins, so it seems pretty pointless having the cars sat at the side doing nothing. |

If the checks are at random times my question is are the teams allowed to touch their own car for the remainder of the fifteen minutes once scrutineering has finished? |

I'd be pissed if infringements where allowed to be corrected in the 15 minute window if my teams car passed twice! There should be a disavantage for rule breaks. |

The teams should not be able to touch the cars during the scruitineering time, as that gives an advantage back to that team.
I know what you are saying about allowing extra time so that checks don't overrun, but I still think 15 mins is excessive. If it is thought checks will take 5 mins, then allow 8 or 10 mins. I just think with all cars being checked before the race, what is going to take upto 15 mins to find? (twice). These are not exactly complicated cars |

Urn and Microwaves are available to use providing you tidy up and wash up after yourselves!!! :-) We have a guy coming in to do full english breakfasts on Sunday.

I dunno, we are no where near France and the ACO (Ardent circuit officials) are up to their old tricks.

I'd tie the body clips to the bodyshell with a bit of fishing line. Nothing worse than the 3am battery change being delayed due to a lost clip!
