At the first round of the Hellafunctional Showdown presented by KW we noticed all of our driver’s best laps were around our Left course. So we took some extra time to measure the turn-in points coming off the banked ovals into the inside courses this time to ensure they were equidistant. We thought this would take care of the trend we noticed, but it did not! Drivers were still telling us they felt the turn-in points were in different places. Since we measured the turn-in points we knew this was not the case. So what was the problem? We feel it is a difference in visual cues that is affecting our drivers. The visual cues or landmarks you’re looking at on the inside when you’re coming off the bank are quite different. The wall on the inside is shorter on the Right course (Course 2) and it makes drivers want to turn in sooner than they should, which is also causing them to start slowing down a little sooner than they should. At our next event we will be adding identical cone markers on both courses at this turn-in point to help with this.

You need not look at this event as purely on-track competition. This is an attempt to combine elements of a car show which is completely arbitrary, and elements of motorsport competition which is black and white. If you have a better way of accomplishing this, we’re all ears. Besides, the time penalties are quite small and almost insignificant. Try to have a little fun with it man.
