Default 2012 IPS round 5 Athens Greece

The box containing the cars arrived yesterday under 41 degrees centigrade.Have not opened it yet as i was in a hurry to reach the beach as soon as possible.It was a tricky arrival moment as on Friday&Saturday we race the 4th round of our rally championship and it is a 2 day race ,despite that, shake down qualifying and race are planned for tomorrow,race to start at 21.00 local time(GMT+2 zone),at the Pentleli club track,owned and operated by Creative Hobby(www.creativehobby.gr) .I'll try to broadcast live video but this is not a promise as i had not thought of it earlier.Stay tuned.

Stop bragging about the weather - it's only 11 degrees centigrade maximum here. This morning I had to break the ice on the rabbit's water bowl.

Glad to hear you got the cars. That track looks impresive and should suit our cars. Hope my Mercedes likes the warmer weather.

Unfortunately i could not make the link work.
Racing procedure has started,shakedown completed,the only car that had a problem was Old23's car that lost the front screw(in fact the screw was found loose in the box)so i could not follow instructions and screwed tight

At least you can be counted among the finishers.

Rounds results:


I feel i have to give some explanations because i assume everyone will wonder what the "calc" column means.
The program we use is PC Lapcounter.We(club members) feel that there is a problem when racing for fixed time.Here are the results as presented by them programm

You will notice that positions 2 and 3 are reversed.Please notice the avg lap column.You will notice
that biedmatt has a better avg lap time but is behind me which we think is foul.Therefore to ammend this problem we recalculate the results according to the following formula

calc column=lapsXtarget time(180 sec in this case)/clocked time.
