Chellaston Grand Prix 28 April 2012

So the work has started for the Grand Prix. Controllers to maintain. Scaley controllers are OK but they do need regular maintainace. The last car has been ordered so we will have a spare ready to roll with chip. More borders madr. Borders are the curse of the rug racer. You can have light borders or strong borders but getting both is hell. Some replacements failed. I used Evo stick instead of my usual Bostic clear. The diffrence,the evo stick outgasses and destroyed the foam in the fFoam board.

Hopefully this event will be better than 2011. For the C7042 missing laps seem to be a thing of the past, so far its performance with SSDC has been flawless with the latest versions of the code. We will run the three strilkes and you are out with the driver that if the outer car on a corner comes off in a two car off the insider is to blame regardless. Poits will be 6 for a win down to 1 but 0 if you stike out. The aim is to get folk to finnish like in the real thing. The only thing left is to decide if we run 3 cars LMP and 3 cars on 75% as GT. The aim is to give the newer players the GT which should be easier to drive and spread the traffic out.

If you are in striking distance of Derby and want a fun evening (adults only) PM me. You do not need to be an expert (we most certainly are not). Will try and get pictures and video this time.
