Test & Tune Day???

[Myz]

I may get flamed for this question but I'm wondering if there's any scope for a Test/Tune day to be held maybe in the coming year.
I was at the last practice day & I'm signed up for the next one but I find the format of the last day didn't leave time to actually "tune" anything more than tire pressures & even that was a tall ask if you had to make a substantial amount of adjustment.

In other words, if you weren't ready when it was your turn to go out, you'd have to wait until the grid marshall came back around & that could be a bit of a wait.
This meant, if I wanted to play with alignment settings (assuming i had the appropriate tools required) or even swaybar settings, I'd need more than 10min to make the change.
Ultimately, I may have had only 3 runs for the day & still not ideally set up the car.

Now I know this practice session is over & above what was originally set out for this season & I'm by no means ungrateful but I'm wondering if there's any value in looking for an alternate format which would allow drivers more time to make changes or even an alternate day with a smaller group of competitors that was focused on mechanical setup as opposed to honing in on driving skills.

Thoughts?

I know it was talked about in another thread, the possibility of just having people lineup when their ready and go back to pit for making adjustments.  With the limited time on an evening event it makes it difficult to accommodate what your looking for.  There is full day practice events at the beginning of the season, perhaps there is room to make some adjustments to those events to better accommodate what your looking for?

We do have test and tune events every year, with more of them in the beginning of the season.

I think that the only way to get a "perfect" test and tune event is to spend much more money, and arrange events with very limited attendance (10 people?).  Even more money would get you paid marshals

It just means "missing runs" ... but that is what you want to do for setup and it could be done easily.  Just talk to the grid people as to what you are up to.  So I would say, change the focus to doing the changes and testing ... heck even set up a course for yourself in the lot to the NE.  Then you get exactly what you want.

thanks for the responses guys. I may take you up on the NE lot offer at the next practice event.
