Pitstops?
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 1:23 pm
Hi Folks,
Richard and I got talking to Roger after yesterday's race meeting - the discussion turned to ways to make racing more interesting.
What would people think to having longer finals (say 8 minutes) with a mandatory pit stop?
The way this could work is as follows:
1. The track would incorporate a pull off area for use as the pits - manned by a pit marshall.
2. There would be a window during the race when you have to pit (say the last 2 minutes of the race).
3. You have a marker attached with velcro to the bodyshell that is removed by the pit marshall when the car enters the pit.
This could introduce an interesting strategic dimension to the racing .
I've added a poll, but please also add your comments...
Cheers
James
