During breaks, do drivers still drive their cars? (lemmy.world)

Or do they only practice in the simulator?

Also do reserve drivers get to drive real cars on the track? Or is it just the sim for them?

It would actually be an interesting concept to have "track practice hours" quota divided similarly to aero tunnel hours.

the problem is the teams who need practice the most are the ones who can least afford it. that's why it doesn't exist anymore.

My counter here is that you'd be disincentivising the promotion of drivers from Formula 2, since they would need more time than a driver coming over from another team.
