Jamal - Good point. I believe to be fair,at the end of the 2 hours,the team which is in front with the most number of laps will still win even if their car break down with 5 mins to go.Its only fair as they have done all the hard work to lead and if u can't catch them at the end of the 2 hours,then that just prove they are the better team.This race is goverened by time - 2 hours NOT LAPS.Therefore at the end of 2 hours,the team in front will be declared the winner.
Thanks for pointing it out for us to be clear on this issue.

Tech Adept
Some more suggestions:
On the sequence of drivers, make it flexible but firm. Maybe should allow minimum time (maybe minimum 5 min) & maximum (maybe 20 min) for each driver. Sequence of drivers should be submitted before race started.
Then strategy will come into play.....
And also... allow only 2 or 3 teams to change driver at a given time. This will avoid any havoc on the stands!
Last time, we tried enforcing a standard driver's change at every 15 minutes.... HAVOC! There was at least 15 people on the stands during change overs. What with spilled beers making the stand slippery & sticky... yuck! It was fun though... coz' a few drivers couldn't identify which car they were controlling after the change-over! Hahahahah
I'm already thinking of going to watch .....

Jamal - Thanks for your input.But I think I will get confused trying to monitor which team has changed at different time and duration.
All I intend to do is say"Drivers ready,...car1,2,3....10"...then sit down relax have a root beer and enjoy myself watching....
....
Jets - oohhhhhh,sooorrrryyyy.ok snake it is!So Nam Lee got old snake n u guys the new snake. so the other guys better run faster,nanti kena telan anaconda!
wah,looks like dominated by snakes cause I believe Team Hobbizone has a team also running new snake.
Will be a great race.

mavicRR - Wah lan,what a team name.I cant even pronounce it.Can simplify ah?
mop_iko - The Team that is at the top of the computer screen at the end of the 2 hours will be the winner,regardless when their car stop running.
Fas n furious - Up to u guys.U can put Team RC Pitstop A and B.But becareful that u guys might get confused during the race,when announcements are made about your position,drivers rotation,..etc...I suggested different names so that u guys wont be going "what did he say?which team is leading?Is it Team A or B"... only my opinion,but final decision is yours.Let me know.
Cheers!

Since quite a few concerns during the driver change,I will do it in order then.Maybe 2 minutes before the change,all the replacement drivers will get onto the driver stand and stand behind.Then I will call 1 team at a time to bring in the car into the pits and changed.So I'll do it 1 at a time.
So no mess and I can visually make sure that the drivers do rotate.
How's that?

OK, sounds good. Let's initiate the thing and start planning.... As u know, it takes months(!) to finalise a race.... AND let's raise the bar a bit..... push a 4 hrs/3 men team.... with 1 car! Whoah! That would be challenging!
