The Gap between Races

[bigted]

For a purely selfish reason can all you drivers help me out. Im sure many of you know who i am so u know this can help you.

How can we minimize the delay between races? all suggestions welcome. But no personal attacks, dont forget im bigger than all of YOU!

How about holding lanes before the dummy grids with say a two future heat cut off (If you are not in the lane before the two heats before you goes out then you don't get to race.

Also in the holding lanes having signs to point out which heat for each lane as some drivers go to the dummy grid way too early and block the area up.

Also quicker recovery better planned may be not returning car afetr their heat but parking then in a safe location until the heat after has been run so the recovery vehicle only has to collect the car between one heat then return it to the paddock after the next heat.

Also stop drivers crashing Ooh think this one is un-solvable !!!

I would like to see a ban on tyre warmers. I believe the reason that a lot of suercars arrive late is beacause they leave removal of tyre warmers till the last possible second. If they are late to the grid it also means there competitors tyres are cooling down. If tyre warmers were banned then it would be the same for every-one.

Hi There Bigted good to see you having a day off yesterday hope you enjoyed yourself.
I thaught we were all very organsed at Brands all the stockhatches were there and lined up in plenty of time we even had to weave through the minis to get to the holding area.
How about a two calls and your out rule. The supercars will not want to come out too soon (tyrewarmers and all that). So leave it as late as possible to call them but make it known if they dont come to the grid straight away they are not allowed in that heat. After all in all other forms of motorsport if your not there when the race is due to start it starts without you.

I'm not a competitor but over here on the Emerald Isle the 2 organising clubs CKMC and CCC normally try to have at least 2 grids waiting at any one time. As part of the racing track just before the final corner in Mondello isnt used for the rallycross track it gives the clubs to form the dummy grids and drivers know exactly where they will be placed on the main grid.
The Supercar drivers are normally on the ball over here and usually get to the dummy grid on time(just about)

i have sat in dummy grids for upto 15 mins sometimes, its a very good system, i can remember at round 1 there was 3 dummy grids!

Very well run, cars get to the start and tehre is a minimum of time usage
