You wouldn’t believe how often, after the CoC has hammered home a particular point, it’s questioned again by someone at the end.....

Written test seems like a good idea.


And "it’s questioned again by someone at the end" would seem to be very worrying considering that the level of personal success enjoyed by most of the drivers in order to be able to afford to race at such an event surely suggests that they should have the required skills to be able to assimilate information quite readily.


That said I suspect there may be more than a few apparently successful people who may not be quite so quick on the uptake and whose success is based on repetitive questioning to make sure they get the same answer each time - no matter how simple the point being made might be. Once into that habit it seems it can be difficult to break it.
