Is Donington expensive to test?...

...at £456 a day for OPL?

Feels a lot to me.

I was hoping that JP might have got going quicker!! Anyway out for a pre season run around on Thursday. Been a while since I've been there.

I quite like the OPL format for testing. We've got two new cars to test, brake pads to heat cycle, setup to do. So probably we'll do quite a few shortish runs.

I think it depends on what you are up to in testing and personal preference. Tomorrow we have two new cars. One new to us and one completely rebuilt with a new chassis from last season.

I expect we'll do a lot of short runs in the morning adjusting everything in sight, bedding in new disks and pads, seating, setup etc and then maybe move on to some longer runs in the afternoon.

So for us OPL tomorrow is very handy!

Single seaters without alternators quite like the sessioned format as you get 30 minutes on track and then you've got an hour between sessions to recharge batteries, fill the car full of fuel, fill the driver full of tea, make adjustments and go through datalogging and video with the driver, and you don't feel you're missing out on valuable tracktime.
