Race Schedule

Warm-up

Prior to the racing formal, all cars will have a prelim 10 lap hit-out to ensure there are no problems, these times will be posted but will not count towards placings.
Additional prelim laps may be undertaken for cars that require attention, each owner will be contacted for permission prior to any work being undertaken.
Any serious issues that require replacement of parts will be supplied by host, for a small fee if applicable and if available, otherwise car will be scratched if not repairable.
Host will endeavour to ensure all cars can compete if at all possible.

The series in Australia will include;
Time Trial - 20 Laps
There will be one experienced driver for all races
  • Each car will undertake 2 time trials over 20 laps (40 laps total).
  • 1x time trial for each of the two lane circuit.
  • The best lap for each lane will be averaged to provide the overall timed placings.
  • The overall fastest average time over the 20 laps will be used in case of tie with the fastest average given higher placing.
  • Points will be attributed to each cars based on time position.
Sprint Races - 10 Laps
There will be one experienced driver and one "P" plater for these races.
This will determine the ease of drive for each car.
  • This will be a knockout tournament with cars ranked for pairing based on TT times.
    • The top placed car will face the bottom placed car and so on down and up the placings.
    • Minor placings will be chosen by top loser facing bottom loser until complete.
      • I'll figure out full details once full field is confirmed.
  • Each car will be raced 4 times by two drivers, (Lane 1 Driver 1), (Lane 2 Driver 2), (Lane 1 Driver 2), (Lane 2 Driver 1).
  • Total time for the 4 races for each car will be combined to determine the overall placing for the knockout rounds.
  • Knockout rounds will follow the same formula.
  • Points will be attributed to each cars based on final race position.
RESULTS ARE FINAL
Points will collated from each competition, most points is overall winner.
Total time over all races will differentiate tied positions.

Desmo:
fastest 1/43 cars ever to go around the track got under 8 seconds. 25k motor, 8/23 gearing, 15mm tires PU
everything under 9 seconds is fast.
a stock SCX compact car like a DTM will do around 10seconds lap times. those have 18k motors and 8/32 gearing, but are driven with 15V
no 1/32 car times. I only got Scalextric Mini from the Italian job with stock tires. These will do around 11 seconds laptimes. (all stock)

Speaking for my track, it is quite new and I haven't had the chance to play with it too much in regard to motor/gear combo's.
That's why I gave the dimensions in the hope it may help.
At the moment, and off the top of my head, I think the best time I have got out of it is in 1:43 scale with an 18k coreless motor & 10/15 ratio gear at 12v, somewhere in the low 6's I think.
