IPS 2020 round 1 Nick's track - AlexisGaitanis - 11th-Sep-20

After all this delay we finally got racing.And then again everything went wrong.Going to Nick I got trapped in a traffic jam due to an accident,was stuck there for more than 1 hour.As  a result we could race only 2 lanes ,will do the rest tuesday.Then my cameras battery run out of power and I had not my charger,result only 4 photos.On top of everything else I left the memory stick withthe files  on Nick's laptop,he will email me them during the day.So here is an appetizer




 
We had 3 casualties,#20 and #15 the pinion slipped after 4 and 7 laps respectively,#27 (Nick'scar ) slipped through his hand and ended up on the floor,broken post.We could not repair them in place but will do today and run the missed lanes on tuesday.
The car that stands  out is #21 fast ,stable in a class of its own.The Lancia  was lacking grip.The yellow Jag and the open top Porsche were sliding sideways under braking resulting to a costly(time wise) deslot on straight line under the bridge.
Watch this space

Cheers Alexis,
I don't like the sound of "The Lancia  was lacking grip"...  Any replacement tyres available?

Perfect Alexis, 
In fact if you could sell me six tyres that would be excellent. Your tyres sounded good but not everyone did :-(
Let me know cost and I will pay via PayPal.

Results of the first 2 lanes

Some comments on the cars
#98 she will catch you by surprise and roll
#12 slides sideways under braking
#28 Jag ditto
#71 no grip
#111 could use some more grip
#99 was running reverse,,each time we had to switch track direction
#20 pinion slipped.I have already fixed it but crown  rotates out of round and I am afraid it is going to happen again
It is the best  grid since I took ever both performance wise and looks

Just out of interest, what are you measuring in each lane column? And if distance, how are you measuring that to three decimal places?

Race coordinator calculates decimal places

Hello Jeremy,
I don't know the maths but the software works out how far the car would have travelled in the final lap when the race time has run out. Presumably based upon the calculation of the time since the car last crossed the start/finish sensor and perhaps the average lap time, the best lap time or maybe the last lap time.

Its quite a good way to operate for proxy races as it removes an aspect of driver skill. If the track is separated into sections and when the power cuts then the car coasts to a halt and the position would be noted. However, if the driver releases the controller as soon as the race ends, the dynamic braking will make the car stop more soon than if the driver continues to hold the controller open.
