The day of the test, the max temp was 18C - I didn't record the actual early evening temp when I ran the test. It takes me 20-25 minutes to get to the test route (combination of sub/urban and rural driving). The car may also have already been warm prior to setting out (didn't make a note of that).

How much warm-up time before the first "B" test?

The airtabs were attached with tape in approximately 2 minutes. The engine was left on during this.

It would have taken less than a minute to remove the tabs, engine left running again.

How many minutes per run?
|
1.6 km at 90 km/h for the run itself (~64 sec), plus time getting up to speed, plus time coasting to a stop, jotting down the run data & turning the car around. 2-3 minutes per run is probably a good guess.
