Round 3 Review
I guess we all would have liked to see the cars running.... or falling out the slot at Goldrock , so that was rather disapointing that the camera was not working. Perhaps next time. The results were fairly consistent between the 2 lanes for most cars which is good but also running the two lanes did give the cars "two bites of the cherry" as such which I think was good where the track capability, driver availability or choice and length of track is limited. Home advantage for the Oxo Cube Alfa 33/3 perhaps, but obviously did not much for the Maserati Tipo, perhaps the choice of using a B&W chassis was literally, not going in the right direction
From the pre-race photos, it's looking like some cars are already developing some issues either with body bits coming loose or breaking off or mechanical issues which might
cause concern later on.
The issue of the non-conformance of one or two cars is something that I will address, I try not to get too enthusiastic about applying penalties for every minute indiscretion and hope that most of these issues can be resolved when the cars arrive before we start, however that is not always possible as in the case of the Corvette.
So there has to be judgement made as to if and by how much the non conformance gives the car an advantage over the other cars, and I think this can only be judged reasonably over the course of the series. I have asked Jason to look at introducing a mechanism into the SCOREBOARD in which I can apply a proportional penalty (deduction of points) at the end of the series.
