First up an FYI about my method of running cars in a proxy event.
Whitehill Park fills the room it's in, so marshalling an 'off' on the far side of the track involves a long walk around the end of the circuit and back again. This takes about eight seconds. As the lap time is only five to seven seconds any off becomes a run-busting major problem. On the other hand, pootering round at a snail's pace to prevent any offs at all misses the point of racing. So what to do?
My solution is to drive 15 laps but only count ten fastest. That way I can get in a few 'banker' laps for each car first to learn how it handles, then progressively push it to explore its limits, without ruining anyone's day by racking up huge time losses spent marshalling — the laps with offs simply don't appear in the final time.

Commendable, but could be counter productive, it would work if all the stages were run that way, what about cars that lost (what looked like) 20 seconds due to an off in stage one? they wont have a chance of catching that back up, but if the leader for instance had an off on your stage it could make a massive difference to the final results.
