Re: Time to include communications at each driver station?

I wonder if there's any particular reasoning behind this or if it's just because "this is how it's always been."

I think it is to help try to even the playing field, not all teams have enough members to provide a spotting team. Also can you imagine people jockeying for ideal spotting locations in the stands, all the extra radio traffic, the different bleacher setups at each event that make spotting easier or harder... etc.

It would be awesome. But I don't think there is a way to implement fairly.


Does anyone know of any teams that have tried wired voice communication networks in the player station between the drivers and coach?
