Re: Time to include communications at each driver station?

I really like the idea, but only for Coach-to-Coach interaction. As a former drive coach, I see little use for communicating with my drivers over a mic. I'm standing within easy hearing of my team, with the exception of the HP (subject to change based on game).

Communicating with my alliance partners via PTT* I think would be quite useful to save time and concentration. I too agree that a Bring-your-own-headset would be a major plus, though not exactly a necessity.

*I think PTT, as mentioned above, would be a must. Having the channel open at all times could be annoying and/or confusing as I communicate with my drivers. Other coaches don't need to be bothered with what I'm saying to my drivers, just as I don't need to hear what they are saying to theirs.
