Hey Guys,

Pardon me if this has already been said but is this theory what some rc scoring programs calculate also???...

Not sure of the software, perhaps AlyCat, but at some meetings on our race result sheets the numbers are displayed as:

Laps, Overall Time, Best Lap, Average, Cons

with 'Cons' being a decimal number.

I think its probably the difference from your average to your best, but its a good indication of how consistant you are, and it helps alot.

EG: at an indoor event a few years ago, i was racing against a mate of mine who's one of the top stock drivers in the country, both had the same cars Xray T2, with a similar set-up...just customised to our styles slightly. Now i actually turned a faster lap time than he, and he even commented my car looked to flow through the corners better than his, however at the end of the race... after he'd lapped me twice, we checked the Cons. Mine was 0.82, and his was 0.10. So it was CLEARLY and indication of how important consistancy is.

Anyway, thats my 0.02c

Cheers,

Robbie
