Support race testing finishes at 5pm.
Except at Donington, where it's on Thursday and Thruxton, where it's about three weeks earlier.
There really isn't any scope for BTCC testing on a Friday. As well as there not being any free track time, Friday is used for scrutineering the BTCC cars.
And some of the drivers aren't available on Fridays.
So the two practice sessions both need to be on Saturday, and there needs to be a minimum 90 minute gap between them, and a further minimum 90 minute gap before qualifying.
The Saturday timetable works pretty well as it is, and there's not much scope for changing it.
The qualifying format could be, probably should be, changed however. It just needs to fit into a 30-40 minute window.
