The good and bad of R comps at the track

Agreed, you only need air-jacks and single-nut fixings if you are into enduro's at a professional level OR you want the bling. I have used lug-nuts and a quick-lift hydraulic

I have used lug-nuts and a quick-lift hydraulic jack (6 pumps to lift 450mm) for 40 years in state and national-level competition without any issues. In the old days, we used to carry a bottle of compressed air and use a rattle-gun, but the 18V electric rattle guns are brilliant these days.

The only time it takes more than 10-15 minutes to change wheels is if I need to change pads at the same time, and that is now extremely rare.

Yep nice race jack and high quality electric impact wrench. Two pumps car is up and bam bam bam bam bam bam wheel is off. Did it for couple years before my trailer. I could change tires by myself in less than 10 minutes.

And I will comment that one is under driving a6 if mistakes are being covered up. They are quite forgiving under limit. Things get more interesting at limit and mistakes take on a new meaning as your moving much faster. Streets just allow you to recover from mistakes a little easier ...A6 not so much
