@Blindman , mate I am sure you know that is not what I mean, as a fellow "Prostate Team" member we all know there are no secrets amongst ourselves regardless of what ROOZ team we are in. We know what team really comes first and yes I quite often make my biggest improvement on our Friday night gatherings.
I was also not having a stab at anyone in particular. I fully respect and accept a closed team practice room, after all we are all members of our individual teams and being competitive by nature we all want to do the best for our team as we can. If we were not competitive we would not be racing. But to get our best results of course we may not want to assist an opposition team member. That is understandable.
I was just making some observations about how fewer members freely offered advice and tips etc compared to when I first joined ROOZ, especially in general practice rooms. Maybe this would have happened anyway regardless of the implementation of the teams championships. I did struggle a lot in my first season as I really could not come to grips with the McLaren at all and did very poorly in Div 4 so maybe more offered assistance simply because I needed it more.
I think the camaraderie, friendly banter, even the odd cheeky **** stir is still there and I know there are many among us like from those who posted above who are willing to help. However I cant remember the last time I heard anyone in a room full of people discussing what gear they use here or how fast to aproach a corner and where to brake like we used to.
