Which timing for FP1 and Q2 would you prefer?

FP2 = 60min / Q2 = 120m
FP2 = 90min / Q2 = 90m

As the 24hr draws ever nearer we are starting top get down to some details.

We have the full weekend of track activity to ourselves without any support races, so we are aiming to increase the overall track time available by an additional 105 minutes over last year.

Friday
18:30 - FP1 - 60 mins
20:00 - Q1 (Night) - 90 mins
22:00 - Graham Harper drinks - ??minutes

Saturday
09:00 - FP2 - 60 mins
10:30 - Q2 (Day) - 120 min

The pole-sitter fills the gin contraption and distributes it, though; you can't do that if there's another qualifier the day after.

So they do; I think we brought the initial filling down!

My point was more that in the evening, if that timetable is fixed, you won't know who has pole position.
