As you have already stated that the race consist of a few drivers in a team, that also means that if one of each driver in the team contribute 1 charger, there would be 4 chargers on the table.
2400 are like 6 to 8 years old and was long replaced by the NiMH packs.
With 4 chargers (let's say 4 chargers, in this case), there's nothing to worry about. I agree with you on the longer charging time for the higher capacity ones, but 3300 & 3700 isn't a lot of difference.
UNLESS you are saying that there should be 1 charger PER team, situation will go accordingly to what you have in mind.
I'm quite interested in the M class though.
Just my thoughts,

obviously, a team prepared with 10 battery packs will be better then a team with only 3 packs.
it is also not viable to have 3300mahs as they take too long to charge.
2400s can be charged in about 15-20 mins.
teams only need to buy 1 f103GT, 1 body shell (if not using the LC70 kit) and 3 2400 mah packs... thats not too bad for a 3-4 man team, right?
the rest of the equipment is the Team's own equipment.
how is that?
