I love the closing line: “A British invention racing to success”.
Great find!

(Leroy Grumman)Mark, it really is more than likely is compound and if not temperature, then track conditions. (Car balance may play a role as well) We have seen this sort of behavior from the tires and the cars before. And it always happens when the season changes. It all comes down to choosing the right compound and getting your setup (and driving style) right for that setup.

(Leroy Grumman)This sounds more like track temperature vs tire compound to me… (With maybe a bit of gearing selection and weight balance thrown in for good measure)

(Leroy Grumman)Ha!
But Monday nights will never be the same… 🙁

(Leroy Grumman)Great write up Marty. I have also been using a workbook to calculate wheel speed and distance over time. It contained one tab much like the Charts tab in the spreadsheet I have attached next to yours. It was a bit more plain than what I have here and only used motor rpm and wheel diameter as inputs for the charts below the gear ratio matrix. But it was serviceable.
Marty, seeing your worksheet inspired me to add the additional calculations for roll out and the actual readings fields on Charts tab. And then I got carried away with “having fun with spreadsheets” and added the advanced formatting to the charts to make them more user friendly and created the Car Log tab based on your workbook.
Just for fun I added fps and mph, because everyone seems to wonder about it.
Hope folks find it and yours useful.

(Leroy Grumman)Price of the “bleeding edge”?
Your experience with repairs was one of the things that put me off of buying a CPO Audi Q3 S-Line when I was shopping last fall.

(Leroy Grumman)We ran the 2012 el Piloto at 12 volts on at least one occasion, and maybe our first Trans Am? (I think we ran a series where we had spec’d stock motors that didn’t run well at 11 vdc… or maybe we just considered it.)

(Leroy Grumman)Looks like it designed for the proto slot metal chassis.

(Leroy Grumman)My entry for the Targa Florio.
Fantasy Martini livery on an Alfa T33/3. The Alfa Romeo T33/3 was entered and raced in 1970 and 1971 events. The marque managed a first and second place finish in 1971.
Fantasy livery Martini number 3.

(Leroy Grumman)Great find! That release of electrical energy back into the turbo to prevent lag is genius!
