Would definitely be cheaper, but for someone like James that needs as much seat time as possible, it would end up costing him more per hour on track to be doing half the driving than doing all the driving.

Think your wrong been in the race you don't know what goes on in the pit lane. (Maybe cause the cars not there long enough)
Has been done once at silverstone I think.

I stand corrected then sir, never heard anything about it though.
What page are we on ?

I'm not worried about that.

And both cars do the 30 min practice too...If I've read correct. One car comes in stops the other driver gets in ( a different car) and goes.....same as 1 car 2 drivers....
Oh, and when did James get a new dad? (come financial adviser, mum, cleaner.....)

NO
think the cars ready in the pit lane, but held by a marshall for 30 secs or something like that.
Yep exactly like that. Second cars sat in the pit lane, other car backs up to it or drives into the pit garage near it then its 30 seconds before the second car can go.
Yes, just read the proper instructions for CSCC...drive in 2nd car held by marshall then let go...
Wouldn't fancy going straight out of the pits into a battle for position with stone cold tyres and brakes lol!

Would make it interesting indeed
Haha I should be even more practised by next season with some of the things i've got on in the next month or so

Yeah sod that unless you can afford decent tyre warmers. Still a ballache timing that right too.

Trying hard to see how 1 green flag lap, with every one all bunched up going no where fast, is much different. Can you tell me Chip?????
I must have got the first couple of race laps all wrong, do you go balls out on the first 1 to 2 laps then?
Golf GTD Mk7
And over cook the tyres? Gradual build in temp is the way to go IMO

Car number 1 is going to be quite a bit lighter than all the others though.
Difference is that at the beginning of the race everyone else is on tyres the same temp as you, rather than them pulling in on hot tyres ready to pull out again on hot and you on stone cold.
It's a money saving compromise so I guess you just have to accept the down side for a couple of laps.
There should be enough space out there for it to not be an issue mid-race. First corner you have 30-40 cars all close together with cold brakes and tyres.
You would still probably be quicker than a lot of the lower class cars.

Who is car one Mike? I can hardly remember my own number never mind anyone else's lol!
he means the first car in the pair. You'd need less fuel in each car, so the first car to go out would be lighter than all the other cars on track
Haha whoops! Thanks Dan I got the wrong end of the stick big time

I was thinking the same, who's #1.
Fuel makes very little difference.

You not been to bed yet Tony? Or silly early start?

Silly early start.

It does to us. 20kg's is a fair weight to be carrying round.
182cup & 172 racecar
Did back to back testing a Mallory, fumes to race fuel, 100's sec in it. Was surprised really, but there you go.

I think the extra weight helped stabilize the car, which counter acted the weight.
It felt different, but not undrivable, second lap out I was bang on the times again.
