Do you count people that just sat in for one weekend or one session at Mallory on a Wednesday?

Yep, that'd do too. I did a lot of that, one season with 15 drivers doing odd weekends as well as my usual ride.

hi
in my passenger career i had between 40 and 60 drivers. some only for one practise or meeting. It makes you a better passenger if you feel different ways of driving and different styles. as faster the driver as easier passenging.

I think Billy Quayle form the IOM had 50+ passengers and were broken down into catagory....went something like:
Passengers in - Many
Passengers Out - Quite a few
Passengers In/Out AND Run Over - Just one and from memory is was Bob Dowty.
