Two ideas:
- An environmental race, meaning that we would run three heats: One in the light, one in the dark, and one with impaired visibility. Something like a “fogged” face shield or goggles worn by each driver.
- A TSD rally. (Time/Speed/Distance) Also known as a “regularity rally” [insert bathroom joke here :-)] This race will require a driver and navigator working together. The goal being to come as close as possible to a prescribed time over a predetermined distance. We can build in some controls to prevent stopping on track near the end to make the time by awarding points for closest time over distance, most consistent average time, lowest standard deviation between laps, etc… Not only challenging, but this could be a great way to build precision driving skills.
Build it strong.
Keep it simple.
Make it work.
