Thanks Matt
, very happy with my performance this week and very happy (and relieved
) to take the win. Great racing Andrew. 👍
Congratulations to all this week - very tricky track with a tricky little car.
On a slightly less cheerful note... Its not usually my wont to complain but I'm forced to question the handicap calculation this week. This was one of the best laps I feel I've done in the WRS and I didn't even come close to my handicap..? I think this may be something to do with it:
(Settings: Weight = 1.000
Squeeze = 2.457 Scoot = -0.467)
I can guarantee that a 1'16.6 is impossible - I left 1 tenth out there and there was probably a possible 2 or 3 at a push (if you're Ramon for example).
This is the results curve this week:
I think it shows clear dominance from myself and Andrew. It reminds me of this result:
...in which Wes had a ridiculously low handicap and (Settings: Weight = 1.000
Squeeze = 1.129 Scoot = 0.191)
I realise that this is statistics and that the machine chucks out numbers which Vaxen just takes but there has to be some basis in reality and each result must stand up in comparison to other events and results.
If I sound a bit pissy and ungrateful, my apologies but I put in an extraordinary effort to get this lap time, spending a good deal longer than I usually do and the reward is in the win, yes... but its also in the knowledge that you're working toward a greater goal, pushing for advancement and promotion. That's the whole point of the handicap system isn't it? And believe me, the thirst for that doesn't diminish just because you're running at the front.
I'd like the handicaps for this week to be looked at again please. 👍

And replay:
Just make sure that you remedy the problem so that it doesn't happen again. I hate taking cheap wins, it just doesn't feel right.
