Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The numbers you have all be waiting for I have enclosed the Target Times for this year together with an explanation as to how they are set. One point I would like to stress is that where possible we want to use an "Actual Record Time" set by a WSCC Competitor in that class of car.

Scottish Bloke Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I think I need to move my diet plan forward :-) Quote
Terry Everall Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Please send me your diet plan Rich Quote
XTR2Turbo Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Can't say I study the times that closely. Turn up and drive as well as I can and get the points I get. I do know that lots of work goes into them though and sounds like they are more refined than ever this year - so well done all involved. 1 Quote
Onliest Smeg David Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 They're 'Pigs flying times' for me! But SS's still brill Quote

Like David says, thanks to all involved for all the hard work producing these target times From a class B point of view it looks like it's gonna be difficult to score well this year, but then I do love a challenge 1 Quote
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Like David says, thanks to all involved for all the hard work producing these target times From a class B point of view it looks like it's gonna be difficult to score well this year, but then I do love a challenge Thanks Martin, I am sick of looking at figures and getting headaches trying to sort it all out. Whilst Yes, A & B will be more difficult to get big points in, don;t forget that everyone in those classes is in the same boat. More importantly, the targets that have been set should be better as they are based on the experienced drivers in the other classes. So as an example, one of your other competitors is less likely to be able to go to an event that you don;t go to and score big points because the Target there had been set by a relatively slow driver. That comment of course applies to all classes. But we are aware that try as hard as we do, we are never going to please all of the people all of the time. Hopefully year on year the process gets better. 1 Quote
B.RAD Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 That's a good explanation Nick I must admit that I was a bit surprised at some of the times but what you say there makes absolute sense and, as others have already said, we're all in it together. As a complete novice to this, it doesn't really make any difference to me anyway! I just can't wait to get out and get sprinting, and it's the behind-the-scenes hard work that you all put in that makes that possible, so thank you very much! Quote
johnev Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 No mention of class I - does this mean I can't win my class this year? I accept that is difficult and a little pointless (joke intended) with only one electric Westfield in the series - I compare my times with the other petrol cars anyway. Should be interesting - this years car is 200Kg lighter ! 1 Quote
Terry Everall Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 John Nick will be publishing the class I times as well as the Class J times Quote
pete g Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 going to be a challenging year with certain events banning tyre warming Quote
Terry Everall Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Who and where is tyre warming now banned Personally I rarely bother with tyre warming Quote
tkm_dave Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 going to be a challenging year with certain events banning tyre warming Double driving is banned?! Bit harsh on those who have joint investment in a car!! 2 Quote
thegunplumber Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 no tyre warming at gurston this year. Quote
Paul Morcom Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 No tyre warming at Prescott also this year (but neither is WSCC ) . My expectation is that this will become the norm for all hills and is already a growing trend at sprints (Pembrey, Snetterton, Ty Croes). In addition to Nick's comments A&B have to be expert-equivalent targets as novices can also enter in other classes (C to H) and thus a level playing field across all classes for the Novice Championship.
