Djeezus........ maybe next year less testing so we can improve our rate.............?

What costs more?
A grandprix weekend or a test session for 2 a 3 days?
If i am wright a test session costs 80,000 a day, is this correct?
Is there a possibilty that we get one sponsor who pays for a testing program?
If it costs 80,000 a day and there is some sponsor who want to pay Minardi 1,5 million, then Minardi can test 18 days, or is this a little bit naief?

Ciao

Shows the difference between the big boys and the small guys. The large teams show up, unpack, drive around for 4 days with 2 cars running non-stop, pack and leave. The small guys show up, unpack, drive with one car for 1/2 to 1 1/2 days, pack and leave.

Big teams can afford to test for more days in a row, so not only do they have the quantitative but also the qualitative advantage when it comes to testing.
