If number 2 is in front of me I know it's a fast guy so I don't need to leave a gap, but if it's number 15 I need to leave a big gap. Slower drivers could also use it the opposite way: try to leave a big gap to the top drivers behind you, if you experience that you loose a lot of time when they try to overtake you.
Yeah, I used the HUD. But I found it difficult watching a cluster the dots transition from the right when they are just before the S/F line, to the left as they cross it. And counting the cars as the speed past trying to hit the narrow gap while praying I figured it right. It's not like we can crane our neck around to look down the S/F straight. Combine that with trying to pick a gap that didn't have number 1-5 on my tail made it a bit much. What I did was pull off along back straight where it is easier to see and time the approaching gap.

I can live with whatever everyone else can live with. But I thought maybe dividing the field in half with 15 minute sessions. Maybe A-M then N-Z. Or fastest guys then slower guys. ??
First group has to be aware of count down clock and pit at 15 minute mark. Hmm... can the clock be seen while driving?
