The revised regs give more details on the wednesday testing. Quote:
Not sure I see the point really, if your going to run on wednesday it may as well be timed? cant really see the cost saving there. The problem is if you have a problem on Thursday your screwed without the times you have set the day before. Its a big commitment from a team to do the 24 hours, and now a small problem in the only timed practice session could lead to potential aborted trip unless they you get a wavier into the race.

Hmm, so two days of testing costs in fuel, tires, etc.. and room and board for a week are less than €3,000.? Case closed?

#1 it's one day of testing but don't let facts stand in your way.
#2 The point being that the cost has elevated while the services have declined. The ACO saves and the entrants are fleeced. it might be a bit more convincing if they at least held the line. |
