I was talking with someone who was connected to a race track the other day and was told about the silly buggers that some times go on. For instance, a team might show up at track A in the morning, but it is ****ing down with rain. They phone track B on the other side of town where it is dry, and they are on track B within an hour and a half.
Another thing is that teams cancel at the last minute...all of the time. Because they only have 12 test days during the year, they have to be fully prepared to use them to the max. Thus if they are short an engine, or still repairing a car, they often pull out without too much notice.
One final thing, teams do the bulk of their testing during the week days (obviously not wanting to pay weekend penalty rates), and really, who would want to rock up to the race track during the middle of the week to see one or two cars going around in circles?
