So there we have it the cars are seeded within each Group.
Qualifying Review - Surprises Galore !
General
So with the prospect of penalties averted (many thanks to Mike 174, Steve Ruscillo and BAracer for going that extra mile), I was able to get on with the testing.
Initially this was designed with the GT Revoslots in mind, so it kind of dictated the structure of the proxy.
I had hoped for more Revo's and perhaps on reflection I should have made it a 2 car class proxy with just Revo's & open class. Perhaps that would have encouraged more entries of the former type ??
However in a way I kind of began to like the idea of running the cars as Construction type Groups, as it should be more consistent for the host drivers to run all the cars of a similar construction together. Something perhaps to use in the future.
I think in general most of the cars were of a high quality build and therefore the cars will be racing closely together.
Modified Standard Group
Most of the cars ran very well, ModSports BMW V12 LMP seemed exceptionally quick at 7.59 secs, in fact the 2nd fastest car of the entire proxy on my track.
But in general the average time was 8.4 secs with a variance of 0.3 sec which I would think is to be expected, but that also includes the rather much slower Bangers Racing Marcos which was almost a sec slower than everyone else. As I like to think about about what I would have done better, perhaps making the Modified Standard Class of cars a little more standard (motor range) might be an improvement for the future ?
Revoslots
I was surprised with these results, I kind of expected perhaps more separation between the classes (GT1, GT2 & GP3), but again it does show that given the exact same tools to work with how much variation you can get. OXO Cube, Brumos RSR & Team ALS obviously have learned quite a lot from previous Revoslot US based competitions
So perhaps the rest of us could do with a few tips, especially in my case ?? However Oxo Cube forgot to tighten up his Supra motor screws, and my Marcos was quite underwhelming compared to the rest of the field, I thought beforehand it was a quite a little rocket
The average was 8.3 secs with a 0.06 sec variance, pretty close I think
ProCars
Here we had SURPRISES everywhere, this was much closer than I had imagined with 20 cars competing, average 8.05 secs and variance of 0.08 secs. Of course we might have expected another flying car from Demon Tweeks (alias LeManx) with the B&W Chassis but Equipe Trelawneys similar car not so fast here.
Out of the blue the Jaguar XJR9 of BatManx also was a flyer, I did not feel this was going to be the case having already run similar cars, and the same with BAracer Mclaren F1 GTR, I would not put money on those as high flyers, if asks beforehand. They will no doubt be competing regularly with the Corvette C6R of Sam D & the Lamborghini Murcielago of Demon Tweeks.....and the many others.
So well done to everyone, it will be a superb proxy competition.....and the 1st actual race starts on Friday at the Wirral Club.
I will be there to participate and video the proceedings which will be 4 lane race style.
