As far as the kit is concerned shims, screws, washers can be added. |

Just to clarify the team marshals the team's own car, the cars have reverse, so the only time the car will need marshalling is if it is broken or on it's roof. :-) You won't be running off the rostrum to marshal your own car, just your team will be walking to collect your car.

Wow, with only six drivers in a team that's a lot of roles to cover:
1x driver 1x charger 1x driver-in-waiting (for changeovers) and at least 1 marshal Better tear up that sleep-rota! Will there be rules about walking across the track to recover upturned cars? Will marshals have to be designated (and wearing their hi-viz, especially during the dusk session!)? |

6 drivers per team, but as many mechanics as you want, so you could drive, marshall, go to sleep while your other half, children, office tea boy / girl charges your cells, preps your tyres etc.

Cars will also have lights on so marshals can see cars coming. |

I'm wondering what the lapping situation is gonna be? I think every pass should be a racing one, cos after a few hours its unlikely many people will be on the same lap, so it'll be crap if we just have to move over, there won't be any racing. Yea so I say no moving over, it has to be an overtaking move every time you want past someone. What'ya think?

I suspect projecting the timing screen onto the wall to act as a leader board may be a simpler option. Then its just common sense whether you defend or let by. No point racing/risking an accident with someone that’s 20 laps up or down on you. |

As Swallis says - the field really isn't going to be THAT close after 5000 laps so there's probably no point in enforcing that rule, unless it turns out through some fluke that there really is a fight between first and second place or something!
On another note: will the cafe be open all night? If not, can I bring my espresso machine? |

Does any team need a driver?

I don't make the rules, but I'm sure John will want to keep it both interesting and competitive so I trust him to make the right decision... I don't even have a confirmed team drive yet so I don't know why I'm chipping in!

Eric try Dez, he's after drivers with wheel transmitters. Motors you will get 1 motor and another 2 you can purchase for performance advantages. If you reach your limit but the motor expires/burns out, you can purchase more. However I think with the gearing we have chosen the Saturn could well last 24 hours. I'm going to have to build a webpage with the rules on as i'm getting questions that have already been answered, not your problem, just an observation and an action for me this evening :-) |
