Le Mans 2016

It's right around the corner - as every year, I would like to get together for a whole day of racing and hanging out while watching the race.

Doors open at 9:00 -- if you can't make it at 9:00, no problem, since we are going to be there the whole day - that is, if we get enough people together.

So, please let me know, if you are planning to attend, as I know some of you have already other commitments for this weekend.

Cheers!

First race with urethane tires

The turn out last Sunday was great! We were 10 and could welcome 2 newcomers - Kevin and Jason! It was the first race with the new urethane tires. Some seemed to have a little trouble to get them trued, so not all the cars did perform as they could have. This will be resolved for the next race, so it is expected to have all cars being competitive once again.

We started to enforce penalties for reckless driving - if somebody on the inner lane gets caught to cause somebody else in the outer lane to come off, then we will send the causing racer into the pits for a 3 second penalty. The other car gets placed on the track where the car would have been without the wreck. This way there's no negative impact for the car that got thrown off the track. With this in place, the racing was very civilized and track calls were at a minimum.

Now, that the changeover to new tires is complete, we can keep going on the Piston Cup 2016. Hopefully with more frequent events.

See you all next time!

Cheers!
