He noted that current costs to test at one track runs between $200,000 and $250,000 dollars. One down side he mentioned was it wouldn't provide much testing for the younger drivers that have not run on certain tracks. Just after posting this I read an interview with Kyle Petty.

Wow, why can't F1 folow suit and radicaly reduce their team costs? Because the NASCAR tubs are all essentially the same, they test tire pressure options and minor (relatively) aero adjustments, as opposed to F1 where the teams test wholesale aero changes and constant tire evolutions. If F1 wants to save money, put a strict in season limit on testing.Of any kind. Period. Testing limited to six tracks per team. Wow, why can’t F1 folow suit and radicaly reduce their team costs?
