GT Sports Cars Slotting

(8th-Jan-24, 04:44 PM)Makem Wrote:  Thanks Graham

We are putting up higher barriers a week on Sunday (21st), with some foam or rubber facing if we can fit it in, so hopefully no more trips to the floor.

Also as promised, there will be a full driver briefing before the event starts.

That will be great as it was the floor impact damage which caused most general concern, what voltage do you run at ?

13.5v, I will see if we can turn it down a touch, but not sure we can.

I will get our 'expert' on the job.

We've run our track at 13.8V forever and for historical reasons, that's the voltage of a fully charged 12V car battery...however we use an adjustable power supply and have done all testing and setup for this proxy at 12V and will use the track at 12V for all future proxies.
...lap times are only fractionally down compared to 13.8V but the cars are easier to drive.

Wavegreen Good Morning

Schedule updated

   

Entrants List updated
   

I would suggest that if any of the entrants are still undecided that Event 3 is quite full, and Event 2 has the least participants (if that's any help )

That's a REAL proxy mix, different track types and formats:

Wood tracks - 6
Policar tracks - 2
Carrera tracks - 2 including Qualy
Scaley Sport tracks - 1
Ninco tracks - 1

4 lane sprint race - 2
2 lane runs - 3 (possibly 4)
1 lane runs - 6 (possibly 5) including Qualy

No doubt we won't really know which cars are favourites until we get at least half way through, much like the recent Touring Car Proxy.

Both cars finished. Dodge Viper goes OK and will not be last.
No idea how the Wolf CAnAm will go, not track tested it yet.
JS Designs Body and chassis.

Wavegreen Good Morning

only 11 day left to the Registration date  Time

Updated entry list
   

Interesting that we seem to have an equal distribution of Event Cars across 1,2 & 4  with a few more in Event 3.
And an almost equal distribution of cars across the 3 Car construction Class types A,B & C  Sun
So this could prove to be the closest of Proxy competitions to date.
