Race Report
Racer's in attendance today: Johnno (this weeks host), Charlie, Joe, Jeffery, Lindsay and new rookie Warren. Unfortunately, Paul was unavailable again this week.
Well, what can be said about this week, between computer, Race Coordinator, cars (braids, dead on and off). Shenanigan's and chaos reigned this week big time... there was one major accident, see Chaos Report below.
Joe made another appearance with his Can-Am missing his front tyres, yes that's right, his front tyres.
Apparently a few weeks back he tried to true his tyres with a drill...!!! The tyres never arrived in time for this week so he opted for none at all
This week saw a mix of racers on the podiums which is fantastic, again the the Most Outstanding was Joe, he made himself several podiums, just proves that a decent controller really does make improved results.
Congratulations to everyone on your Leaderboard, Podium wins and great racing.
Warren hadn't got his cars in order before his first group racing so I loaned him my cars and I borrowed a few from Charlie, including his newly tuned car. Without a controller, Warren had to deal with the DS controller which has zero options for sensitivity, acceleration and brakes, and no lap time on the track he did as good as expected. I am sure Warren will improve in leaps and bounds when he gets the hardware items sorted.
Myself I had the backup Slot.it Can-Am on the track for it's first official run, went pretty good, I think the tyres need changing out, more tuning for it is also required, this gave my Led Zeppelin Can-Am a rest.
This week saw several Lap Records set by Johnno and Charlie. The lap records that Johnno took out occurred nearly instantly when the race began, I had many consecutive Best Time laps which ended with Track Lap Record similar to that which Charlie himself grabbed. Tell you this, it is great when rookies can match it with the veteran racers.
This week's racing events were cut short due to the cluster $%^& that the day was, so the last race for the week was the Slot.it Can-Am's. I was looking to race my Slot.it Mazda LMP but time got the better of us.
Again, I'd been noting my controller control and the harshness with applying the power to full, when I concentrated on the controller and car, I was able to apply a much smoother power curve removing the harsh behavior from the car significantly, so get out there people and practice your controller application, take a note of how you use the controller, it really does make a huge difference, more practice for myself will continue with this.
We had the usual mix of 'coming through' and 'Lindsay maneuver', though nowhere near as many as is usual for our group, Charlie and I have been backing off the racing to let the deslotting culprits go ahead of us to avoid us being caught up in the carnage that usually ensues.
We even saw Warren grab a Track Lap Record, go Warren!!!
Chaos Report Headlines
Charlie had a massive tail ender with a deslotted car, the impact was that substantial that the other car was literally ejected off the track onto the floor, that's the biggest accident in a very long time. And again Charlie was involved with another rear ender when a car had deslotted coming off the bridge and with no time to stop another hard impact occurred, thankfully there were no causalities with these hard impacts.
During our coffee break, Joe decided to go on walkabouts with his egg sandwich (I provide lunch to get away from those biscuits) when Joe spat out some egg while talking, couldn't believe it, saying this Joe has got in the bad habit of eating at the track and dropping all sorts of his foods on the tracks.
New signage is now up for the food at track along with a new sign asking people to NOT lean on the track as this is causing issues that will only come harder to correct the longer this goes on.
