safeguarding the future of the RBRR
shed66 replied to JohnD's topic in Round Britain Reliability Run (RBRR)
John's opening post is not the only time this subject has /will be raised...i even got asked a similar question .on the sunday morning ,by a photographer...iwas in the car park at the finish , early, as we'd retired from the event ..the organising team.of which i'm not part of, are always aware of this issue...and the event has evolved ..there are more controls...allowing crews to stop....and giving them more opertunity to think about driver changes,,the''buffet '' at the finish this time gave crews a chance to wind down ..and ,with a bit of fore thought ..book a hotel and stay over ive always done it in a 2 man crew...and as to the driving hrs ...you could easily do 4 on 4 off, not tiring at all that's 6 driving stints and 6 rest ..and if you only sleep for half of the non driving sections you get 12hrs kip over 2 days ...that's hardly taxing ..there are a multitude of ways it can be done ..but working /knowing what's best for you and sticking to it is essential- 118 replies
