Suppose we better go out and buy some stopwatches and try to understand the rules this year!! Could do with some walkie talkies also.....

The first year I drove without stopwatches! [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] That's no joke! [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
Okay... I had one on bord but it fell down when I pressed the start button. [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
Second year my son was allowed to take part.. he stopped time and we won again. [img]images/graemlins/sloppy.gif[/img]

Those results confuse the hell out of me.

Is the 1:35 a target lap time to beat, or to be nearest to (i.e. lose points for being quicker as well as slower ??)

I also assume the columns before your actual times are penalties, but can't figure out what they actually are.

Also [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img], what is the importance of the number of laps ??

Okay so I am a 'numb-nuts' you use a US expression, but can someone enlighten me please [img]images/graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

Cheers, [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

You've hit the nail on the head. We figured it out at the end of the first session that that was the aim. Basically there is a time set for a lap, and you get a penalty for being quicker or slower. This event is classed as 'driver training'; suppose it may have something to do with insurance validity. The trick is to have a couple of stopwatches stuck to the steering wheel. Not sure of the relevance of the number of laps though....

But Andy got 3rd place anyway!? [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

Or a good co-driver with stopwatches (it's a bit difficult to handle with the watches on the steering wheel [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), btw Phil we are going to win this year, aren't we? [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

I may not understand this correctly, [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] but the 3 laps behind the pace car are not relevant. [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img] When you have your first free lap it's counted and if you drive in the correct period (+/-3sec) you don't get penalty points. [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]
But: if there are two driver with 0 penalty points the boy with the most closest time to 1.25 min wins. [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img] - Understood? [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]
The race is finished when there is the checkered flag. [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]

I think he was feeling a bit dizzy from driving around Ausfahrt all day [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] . Thorney did well due to the mouthwash he was drinking all night!! [img]images/graemlins/suicide.gif[/img]
