Just a reminder to south Island riders that Vic club doesn't allow slicks/wets in their Streetstock class.

You might want to check with the vic club regarding this as NOWHERE in the supp regs does it state that full wets are not allowed and as I understood it was only the 250s that were not allowed full wets

[Peter Smith]

[Racey Rider]

You might want to check with the vic club regarding this as NOWHERE in the supp regs does it state that full wets are not allowed and as I understood it was only the 250s that were not allowed full wets


Having never had wets, I don't know if they are classed as:- road-going DOT tyres (http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=68)

[Marknz]

Done - see you guys there!

[Billy]

Having never had wets, I don't know if they are classed as:- road-going DOT tyres (http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=68)

So youve asked the Vic club then??Where full wets are banned the rule should read Road-going dot approved tyres ONLY

[Marknz]

Cool! Are you heading up for practice?

Sure am... garage #10 for the whole weekend. Come and say gidday.

[roadracingoldfart]

Wellllll........
I wont say just yet as nothing is finalised but who knows aye .:crazy::innocent:
Wierd things happen to wierd folk like me lol.

[Billy]

Thats where that link goes - to the Vic club website.

Streetstock Modifications. Halfway down the page -

"road-going DOT tyres"

Yeah,But as I stated earlier.If wets are banned the rule should read,Dot/European approved tyres "ONLY".I spoke too a Vic club official tonight and they are not sure.He will have it clarified by Mel and AJ and make it public asap

[Skunk]

I thought this was clear. Is it not?
150cc: As per the MNZ Streetstock 150 regulations. 2-stroke and 4 stroke commuter type bikes, No modifications are allowed except for: Removal of glass and indicators, removal of plastic fairings is allowed, replica fibreglass fairings are also allowed. Soft compound DOT road tyres

[puddy]

Excellent, that's two of us newbies in the Clubbies class!
Yeah, it's going to be my first race/race meeting ever:sweatdrop:sweatdrop. Last time I was at Manfield, I think Ferd Merkel was WSB Champ and I had a full head of hair!:crybaby::crybaby:

[mossy1200]

Yeah,But as I stated earlier.If wets are banned the rule should read,Dot/European approved tyres "ONLY".I spoke too a Vic club official tonight and they are not sure.He will have it clarified by Mel and AJ and make it public asap


VMCC streetstock rules.Hand cut dot tyre are permissable in wet but no slicks or race wets.


Tyres
Only tyre sizes that are suitable for the rim size of that model bike, according to the tyre manufacturers specifications, are permissible. Race style DOT road legal tyres are permissible.
If in the event of a “WET RACE” an alternative DOT tyre (refer to the preceding regulation) can be used with different tread. E.g. Bridgestone BT45 to suit the conditions.
Hand cut DOT size race tyres will be allowed. E.g. Dunlop GPR-a10 in the event of a “WET RACE”.
Non-DOT approved tyres will not be allowed. E.g. Race Slicks and Race Wets.

[Foxzee]

Yeah,But as I stated earlier.If wets are banned the rule should read,Dot/European approved tyres "ONLY".I spoke too a Vic club official tonight and they are not sure.He will have it clarified by Mel and AJ and make it public asap

Hey ya Billy.....

I'm onto this now...will have it sorted for him...

We going to see ya next meeting...

Function on Sat night...gotta have a beer with THE BILLY lol....:rockon:

[Marknz]

Yeah, it's going to be my first race/race meeting ever:sweatdrop:sweatdrop. Last time I was at Manfield, I think Ferd Merkel was WSB Champ and I had a full head of hair!:crybaby::crybaby:

Good shit. The Clubbies field looked like it might have been thinning down about, so there's three of us newbies coming into the fold. :woohoo:

[SWERVE]

Were not worried about the 'weird" vic club supplementary rules regarding streetstock tyres as we run Dot approved treads anyway.:whocares:
However as i read the MNZ rules it does state that wet tyres maybe used however as you cant get wets in the sizes allowed (im still trying to find) it sort of cancels itself out.:crazy:
My 2 cents:wari:

[Billy]

VMCC streetstock rules.Hand cut dot tyre are permissable in wet but no slicks or race wets.

Only tyre sizes that are suitable for the rim size of that model bike, according to the tyre manufacturers specifications, are permissible. Race style DOT road legal tyres are permissible.

Non-DOT approved tyres will not be allowed. E.g. Race Slicks and Race Wets.
Well done but those are the 250 minilite tyre rules

[Billy]

I thought this was clear. Is it not?

No.As I stated previously,If the intention was too ban the use of full wets then it should read,Dot/European approved tyres ONLY and as I was led too believe during discussions regarding the Minilite tyre rules,The 150s were going to be running too MNZ rules which allows the use of full wets provided they are available in the gazetted sizes as pointed out by swerve.

[Billy]

Hey ya Billy.....

I'm onto this now...will have it sorted for him...

We going to see ya next meeting...

Function on Sat night...gotta have a beer with THE BILLY lol....:rockon:

Sure will be.Have only riden a motorcycle once since the last round of last years series so it should be an eye opener LOL

Theres a function on Saturday night??? See you there

[Skunk]

Sorry. This is really clear to me: As per MNZ rules except they must be DOT Road Tyres.

If they're not DOT Road Tyres or fall outside the rest of MNZs rule you can't use them.


22-12-10 Tyres
Gazetted Tyres for 150cc Street Stock Class.
Tyre sizes, 80/90, 90/90, 95/70, 90/65, 100/80, 110/90, 120/80 x 18 TT900, 110/80 x 17
Applies to 150 Street Stock only.
1. The choice of tyre is optional, either a slick or a Dot/European approved road legal tyre
on sale to the public. (No grooved slicks, modifications or treatments allowed to
tyres).
2. All tyres fitted must be mounted on a corresponding rim as per the tyre manufacturers
recommendations of rim to tyre specifications. These shall be gazetted on the MNZ
website and up dated as necessary.
3. Tyre warmers are not allowed.
4. Should the steward call the race wet then the rider, may use a DOT/European
approved road legal tyre or a full race wet weather tyre marked not for highway may
be used. (No slicks or grooved slicks allowed).
5. Wet race: A race if classified as wet, usually commenced in varying or wet conditions,
will not be interrupted for climatic reasons and riders who wish to change tyres or
make adjustments must enter the pits and do so during the actual race.
6. Should track conditions change due to climatic conditions after a race has started the
steward shall stop the race to enable competitors to change their tyres Rule 6-13 will
apply. Conditions for stopping and restarting a race Refer Rule 6-13.
7. On safety grounds a steward may stop the race should the conditions be considered
dangerous.

With the provision: Supplementary Regs
Soft compound DOT road tyres.

[Billy]

Sorry. This is really clear to me: As per MNZ rules except they must be DOT Road Tyres.

It would be crystal clear if the above sentence was at the bottom of the supp regs,But its not.is it??Read it yourself and then maybe have a word too Clive or Dee

[Skunk]

The Supplementary Regs do say Soft compound DOT road tyres. I'm not understanding what you're getting at. Is it the English used? The phrasing? Not legal enough? Not clear?

What is it I'm missing? It's plain English to me...


150cc: As per the MNZ Streetstock 150 regulations. 2-stroke and 4-stroke
commuter type bikes, No modifications are allowed except for: Removal of glass
and indicators, removal of plastic fairings is allowed, replica fibreglass fairings are
also allowed. Soft compound DOT road tyres


We have a meeting on Tuesday so I'll talk to Dee and Clive then. They may be able to enlighten me.

[Racey Rider]

While at your Vic club meeting, Could you please discuss the merits of asking Manfield to make their 'open test days' that are right before Vic Club race days a Bike only affair. (Maybe for next year)

Vic club racers input a large percentage of Manfield income on these days it seems. (How many bikes there, compared to, how many cars). I would see it a just reward to give us our own test day (bikes only) to give us even more track time.
It would probably encourage even more bikes to attend, thus covering the loss of a few cars that might have turned up.
It would give those of us who have to travel a long way time to get there, and still more than just two session in the afternoon of track time for our full days fee.

Thoughts?

Yeah i mentioned that to Sue? that runs the test days mate, especially after loosing 1 1/2 hours at the last one thanks to the one and only car that went out in the very 1st session and dropped its load half way round the track.
Also don't cars have car only days?
Drop a line to the Manfeild crew mate, the more ppl that ask the better.

[Clivoris]

35 max on the race grid. If possible, non-qualifyers will be placed somewhere else like clubmans. It is also possible that if someone fails to qualify for their primary class, slowest cross-entries from another class may be asked to "stand aside". Only "possible", I say.

[Benk]

I think I counted 39 enties for the postie class, does anyone know the maximum allowed on the grid after qualifying at Manfield??

67 from my count man. Unless there is going to be a Jnrs and a Snrs race, but I havnt heard anything of this. Haha, be a bit shit not to qualify, especially if your in it for the NZPCRA points!

They could move all of pre 82 junior into clubmans and still run pre82 junior points.That takes it to 35 and 4moved.It is likely a few of them would be the slower qualifiers(no offence intended but the bikes are slower not saying the riders are).Or even in with mini lites and streetstock which would be similar speeds.That would give them more laps not being lapped as often.

Jusrt noticed peter sales is in that class.Not sure he would like my idea at all.

Ok guy and girls......

New Race format for next weekend because of such large grid numbers...please understand we have done the best to accom everyone so we see no one going home and no points effected....

Right: We have a new race Post Snr Classic/Pro twin 30 on grid..this means that practice for all classes will be cut to 15 mins instead of 20 min....

This also opens up another 5 places for non qualy's in f1/f2/f3...plus Clubmans spaces depending on lap times of course...Race 1 on Sat will be 10 laps, Race 2 on Sun will be 10 laps and if all going well we can then go back to a 15 lapper on Race 3....

We have full classes on all grids so this seems to be the way to go...please pat the Vollies on the back when you come across them as they will be working there butts of to make this happen for you guys.....:yes:

Ok guy and girls......

Race 1 on Sat will be 10 laps, Race 2 on Sun will be 10 laps and if all going well we can then go back to a 15 lapper on Race 3....

Dont know about some 1000cc+ bikes lined up behind twins on the drag to corner one.Would prefer either in qualify order or 20 second gap with two lots lights or flag start for the second group.They started posties and clubmans together in summer series last year and unmatched bikes reached corner one at the same time.

I'm not involved in the decision at all, but it would seem cleaner to have a single start with grid position according to qualifying. The first corner is always congested and bikes with slower lap times will have to be passed at sometime.

If you put pro twin in front of 89s then the 130+hp posties are just going to get in there and spreed the protwins apart through the infield and effect their close racing.Time delay would stop this happening but the fastest bikes of the second group will still end up catching the group infront and try passing while racing.Sounds fun but can effect results.All good racing though.

The fastest qualify time doesnt make a bike the quickest 2 corner 1.Thats a small issue with running in qualify order.

Without meaning to sound ...ummm...rude..that's what transponders are for so shouldn't effect anyone's points as this will still be run as sep classes within the same race..I hear wot you are saying but don't see that it's any different than any other class esp ones with cross entries.....at this point we have no other option to accom all to make race day awesome for all....glad you want to have fun Mossy that's what it's all about....

[Duke girl]

Exactly Foxzee, by having transponders on each bike gives us information on the times each bike is doing per lap and tells us where that bike belongs on the grid for the start of the race.
You have really done your homework on this matter and hopefully on the day it will all turn out and everyone will be happy.
Well done.

I can see Mossys point here Dee, Not sure how the pro twin or posties points are standing atm but If Ya get a mix of High HP posties and Pro twin bikes all taking off at the same time, if some on the front grids get a bad start and some High HP bikes/but slower lap time riders, get in front at T1, that could Quite possibly having an effect on the outcome !
Vice versa in the iether class !!! (can hear the cries now !! I would have made up the time i lost at the start, but got held up by some bikes that weren't even in my race)
A split start (using last round times to see who gets away first perhaps), just to let the feild spread a bit that 1st lap might not !~

My 2 c worth, you know i don't really care, as i'm just a round and round sorta guy and (sniff sniff) don't really fit in !
But i have to agree with him !

Stagger the start has to be the best solution. Nothing worse than been carved up down the straights and then held up in the corners. Makes for slow lap times.

Hey Sinny....

You're 2c worth is well regarded...thank you....it's good to get the feedback....

Here's some lap times Pro twins 1.16 to 1.24...with the slower ones out to 1.27, Post Classic Snr's 1.15 to 1.24 again with the slower ones out to 1.27...so they are pretty much on each other's game......

I'd wager that while the lap times are similar, the PC Snr's will be quicker down the straights and the pro twins quicker through the corners.

I agree with nzkr1 in that a staggered start might be the best and safest option.

Cool...thanks Deano...was hoping you were going jump in with your thoughts.....

[Wannabiker]

Its always going to happen that there will be faster bikes to the first corner...a bonus in some respects.....

In classes where 2 and 4 stroke compete together off the same grid the same thing happens...as it does in every race...someone gets to turn 1 first.

Hey Swerve,
what day is your ferry crossing ?
Issued at 12:38pm 23-Sep-2009

A LARGE LOW

A large and deepening low over the western Tasman Sea is currently making
its presence felt over eastern parts of Australia, with dust storms in
Sydney.

"On Thursday this low will be closer to New Zealand than Australia, even
bigger and deeper than it is now and is expected to make its presence felt
over much of the country," commented Peter Kreft of MetService. "MetService
has issued a Severe Weather Warning for heavy rain over central parts of
the North Island on Thursday."

Mr Kreft added that "Meanwhile, a cold southerly outbreak is working its
way up the South Island. It should arrive over central parts of the country
tomorrow about the same time the heavy rain from the north does. This is a
recipe for snow."

MetService has issued a Severe Weather Warning for heavy snow over the
Tararua Ranges on Thursday. Further, a Severe Weather Watch for heavy snow
and/or heavy rain is in effect for areas from Taihape right through to
north Canterbury. Unusually for the time of year, snow is expected down to
about 400 metres.

Over central parts of the country, the "squash zone" is expected to bring
strong or gale easterlies on Thursday. The combination of strong winds and
rain or snow is likely to put stress on livestock.

"Finally," said MetService's Peter Kreft, "the precise track of the low
will have a big influence on where severe weather occurs. Keep up to date
with the latest forecasts and warnings at metservice.com ."

Well I havent managed to get to turn 1 first yet, and I too would be in a similar position...so gobsmacked that I would sit up and wait to see what was wrong...

[mossy1200]

Just put it forward for thought because at the summer series(manfield) they started posties with clubmans behind and an rsv managed to reach corner one at the same time as the posties.I was thinking along the lines that the posties will become a rolling road block in the infield after the straght line drag.
My concern would be that pro twins that got out dragged would kiss goodbye to the ones that didnt during the first half of the first lap.Dont get me wrong cause ill be having fun reguardless.

[wharfy]

I'd wager that while the lap times are similar, the PC Snr's will be quicker down the straights and the pro twins quicker through the corners.

I agree with nzkr1 in that a staggered start might be the best and safest option.

I tend to agree with Deano, some of those big postie bikes have a really good launch and if they are on row 2 or 3 of the grid that first 10 to 25 meters could be REALLY interesting .

[mossy1200]

Same thoughts but the overall mix is great because with longer races there will be less lapping going on .
The bonus is that if its not good after Saturday which ever way its done Sunday is a new day for correction.
I remember the last track day having a sv650 go around the outside of me in the infield like I parked it up for smoko break.
If its wet during qualify and dry during race could be worse because surely a lighter 650 will be quicker qualify in the wet than a 200kg postie but could be slower in the dry.

With regard to putting Postie seniors with protwins. The current practice is to mix postie senior and juniors, gridded according to qualifying times. Are the protwin bikes less competitive than the postie juniors? I've raced in posties on a junior bike and qualified in front of senior bikes. I can't remember it being a problem. Why would it be any different for protwins?

No personal problem but when the posties enter turn one and flay around like big beached whales its the pro twins that feel the hurt through the infield on the first lap and more so for the ones that are unlucky enough to have a few posties between them and the front running protwins.

Yep true. I've been on the front row on a PC Jnr and it's no different.

I'm being selfish and thinking of my points situation. I don't want my competition to get a PC Snr (Or Jnr - aka Chappy) in between us and affect 'our points' race, then again that could work both ways couldn't it ?

I'm being selfish and thinking of my points situation. I don't want my competition to get a PC Snr (Or Jnr - aka Chappy) in between us and affect 'our' race, then again that could work both ways couldn't it ?
Yes more one direction than the other cause we all know the pro twins wont hold up the posties in the corners and the straights are the easy pass spots.

[Deano]

No personal problem but when the posties enter turn one and flay around like big beached whales its the pro twins that feel the hurt through the infield on the first lap and more so for the ones that are unlucky enough to have a few posties between them and the front running protwins.

So eloquently put !

[Deano]

And the difference between PC Snr/Jnr and PT, and F3 and PT is that the F3 bikes don't piss over the PT's too much on the straights.

[Deano]

Either way, we'll find out Saturday. I can't wait.

The South Island assault will be interesting. And don't forget Russel Josiah - I rmember watching him at Wanga's as a teenager.

The weather might play a part yet too.......it's going to be an interesting meeting.

[Marknz]

Feck off rain! :confused: I've waited a helluva long time for this, and I ain't spending more money on rain tyres just for the privilage. If I have to do 2min+ laps to qualify on race attacks in the rain, I will.

Are you in clubmans Mark.If so just record some lap times and the weather man says it will improve just like your lap times.

[Ivan]

I'd wager that while the lap times are similar, the PC Snr's will be quicker down the straights and the pro twins quicker through the corners.

I agree with nzkr1 in that a staggered start might be the best and safest option.

I agree Deano,

Staggered start at least when we have amxed start in F3 our bikes are vary similar top speed but this is gonna be crazy! I mean your gonna have the likes of you and Geoff up the frotn then when you hit Dennis Hulme straight the 1000cc bikes are gonna come hurtling past and almost be dangerous! depending on how I feel after qualifying I might pull out as I am not risking my safety

[Ivan]

also I have not taken any notice of the post classic races so dont know anything about jr and sr as no offence to anyone racing them postys are not my kind of bike to watch so completly didnt even think of the fact the jr and sr race together I was just thinking from my own personal opinion on the speed differences between the 2 classes and theres somethign always on my mind that puts me off speed difference

[Marknz]

Yea, clubbies for me. It's okay, someone just rang me to remind me I'm so friggin slow that I'll probably be doing 2min+ anyway, rain or shine. <_< Thanks arsehole!

No, not you Mossy. :shit:

Broo. My point is that I don't think the speed difference will be any greater than the speed difference between postie senior and junior. As far as I know it has never been a problem in posties.

Correct.We are used to slower bikes on the straight as per norm and half lap in problems all solved.As long as protwins arnt parked in behind at breaking areas cause we break earlier should be no different from junior senior.We will have a nuisance factor at corner one and first time through infield.Care taken no problems.Its the pro twins results that niggles me.

Speed difference senior / junior round three qualify.Click into second half as i was on Sunday drive first half.

It's going to be a mixed bag anyway I reckon with the close points. The CHCH guys/Josiah/PC Snr factor is going to make things interesting, but all good fun.

For me it could go either way.

You've got PC pre89 Snr in the bag eh.

I doubt a speed diff is really the crux to consider.
I would be more concernesd about the launch of the classes mix at the green light.
Imagine if you can a front row of SVs (caused by a damp qualifying session) then the second row a bunch of 1000 & 1100 posties, mix in a dry start and thats a recipe for a giant fuckup.

Is it really too hard to stagger a start to allow a good clean/ safe race ?

My 2 cents worth anyhow.

Agreed thats how I feel I mean they can stagger the start for 125 and streetstock why not for postysr and pro twin? plus it might allow a few of us other pro twin guys who end up qualifying further back to get a good race for a change as we are starting clean with just pro twins my 2c

i think its spelt .... " l i a b i l i t y " or it may be " a v o i d a b l i t y ".

Speed differential is what racing is all about but differential at the start line is just a mess , remember when GP500s shared the grid with Moto GP? ask Gary McCoy.
I can turn away at the starts and deny anything happening but id prefer to watch and see a good clean start without the perils i have seen in the past . Dont do it is my plee.

Agreed as is why my thoughts of not riding in this class is I dont want to be on the grid were someone else doesnt get to go home.

Staggered starts have no problems for me its more the share fact is we get mixed up and you have some fast 650s at the front with 1000cc bikes behind them and it is a disastor waiting to happen

Have to agree with Paul. A number of us have seen the results of start-line fuckups... they have to be avoided at all costs.

Organisers, please consider staggered starts for these guys?

It's not like it's going to cost time on the programme... or is it?

thats a very valid point young man , the whole class on the same start , not seperated by another class , there is merit there people.

Make no mistake what i am saying , i have seen too many friends over the last 25 years killed , maimed , or just severely hurt and dont want to see any carnage happen . The trauma caused to everybody is just not worth while. You dont have to be injured or even connected to be effected and put off something , its vital motorcycling is seen to be proactive in self managment of safety and sensibility.
Racing is dangerous but you CAN limit some of the risk by taking sensible , easy re-visit looks at basic safety issues. Not hard and not costly.
Thanks for your support Mark et all.

Lets not lower the laps but 20seconds would be enough gap to leave the fastest last starters to reach the slowest first starters in a smaller clump grouping than at the beginning.

I just keep thinking summer series with posties front of grid and clubmans at rear starting together and being surprised that a rsv mille manged to get advanced 4 rows before turn one.

I'm genuinely curious about this.
Can anyone tell me if it's been a problem in Posties with senior and junior gridded the way they are? I am not convinced the difference in start line acceleration is as significant as it is for the 125s and street-stock. The 125s and streetstock also have dramatic lap-time differences. Hence the staggered start. Have any "start-line fuckups" occurred in posties because of senior and junior being together? Have any "start-line fuckups" occurred because of a difference in capacity, or is it more because someone "fucked up" their start? Staggered starts have risks of their own. How many times have we seen a racer in the second group false start when the first group goes? It requires extra pissing around on the grid and for the timing people having to allocate grid position according to class, not simply qualifying position. The more complicated things get the more it can go wrong.

the norm is 6 out of 8 seniors on front two rows against 2 juniors and there is twice the norm seniors at this event.Pro twins being similar lap times in theory
It will be equally spread on the grid.Then you put 130hp against 80hp towards turn one with the posties needing to slow down first due to extra weight.Other than Chappy in postie juniors (80hp)the juniors arnt around at corner 1.Now we have more seniors and more 80hp bikes contesting the same corner at the same time with different entry speeds.

No problem if people are carefull

[Marknz]

yea, I see where you're coming from Clive, but aren't we talking Posty Seniors and Pro-twins? I'm not in either of those classes, but I can imagine issues for them all coming off the line at the same time should the weather play it's part.

But hey, it's a dangerous sport and we all have to take due care... we all know the rules when we sign the dotted line.

I just looked at qualifying for the last round and it was 2 of each on the first 2 rows of posties. It doesn't seem to be a problem if people ride with awareness. I agree that starts and the first corner are dangerous places. I'm just not convinced that putting pro-twins in with postie seniors is any more dangerous than what happens already in posties. To my knowledge, nobody has ever been concerned about this. I would even suggest that the pro-twin bikes get off the line better than most postie junior bikes.

[mud boy]

Wotz difference with F3 class then,mixed bikes,speeds,even 125's...they all start and turn into turn 1

yes but you looked at long track.
and thats what i ment by more 80hp bikes in the mix meeting at turn one than the normal senior junior.

Now I'm really confused. Isn't the argument that smaller bikes might qualify ahead of bigger bikes and "extra" chaos will ensue at the start and turn 1? Last meeting was the perfect example of smaller bikes qualifying well. I don't remember it being more of a problem than in any other race start. Or is the argument that the bigger bikes will qualify better on the short track and....? At round 3 there was Chappy and 3 seniors on row 1, then 3 juniors on row 2. Was this a problem?
I can see why people might think or imagine that running protwins with postie seniors could be a problem, I just haven't heard any evidence yet that it will be any more dangerous than what happens already.

Started talking about this because pro twins points may be effected by some getting caught behind straight line posties off the line then it started safety concerns(not by myself).
Biggest difference is now we have alot more seniors than the norm by over double and pro twins(evenly matched classs at 80 odd hp)when normally Chapells 80hp zxr is the only small bike able to contest corner one.
Instead of one mismatched power wise bike able to reach corner one at the same time we have lots.
Round three was bad example as not many seniors turned up that round.My bad.

[Skunk]

< sarcasm >
I'm glad we have so many taking an active role in organising this meeting. Should be a good turn out at the AGM with no problem getting all the positions filled.
< / sarcasm >

Seriously though - I think the point has been well and truly made and VMCC will consider it's options.

Let's hope the forecast improves.

Fair enough. I reckon there might be frustrations with having to get by bikes that are slower in different parts of the track, but in the end people seem to finish pretty much where they should do according to their lap-times. Especially over the longer races.
