I always assumed that buildings were fireproof by default (unless you got inside one), after all the road doesn't take damage from incendiary weapons.

I found regular arena duels lasted 10-15 seconds and 4-6 hours to resolve them. That was in the days of 10 phase movement though. We also used "normal" cars rather than eggshells armed with hammers so it took a good few hits to start having an effect (and often devolved into a few cars pivoting at 5 whilst other cars were bombing round at 40-60).

If we had stuck at it we could have got more efficient, but we usually had a high turn over of players because it all "took too long".

To be fair we probably spent an hour just correcting designs.
