    Three (!) DRS zones, and none of them strikes me as particularly useful.
    I guess we'll see. . . .

    Turns one and maybe four look passable but the rest looks like follow the leader (for equivalent cars).

    Yes, seems little point in DRS-zones that closely-paced cars are unable
    to take any actual advantage of.

    Close. I blew the dust off my copy of Hamilton's "Grand Prix Circuits" and it looks like I was thinking of the 1959 German GP layout.

    It probably stuck in my mind because of the massive banking at one end.

    I'm in North America and it's not a great time for international travel.

    And racing for me resumes some time in late-March/early-April...

    -aI guess we'll see. . . .


    What strikes me as a little odd is that the activation point for the DRS
    zone 3 is so far down the straight...

    ...and the only reason I can see for them doing that is that someone did
    a little figuring based on the expected drag configuration of the cars
    and calculated that putting the activation point any earlier would lead
    to a situation where cars could just breeze by on the start/finish straight.

    My prediction is that if they got their figuring correct, turn 1 will be
    a very popular corner for overtaking attempts. Especially since
    defending the inside of turn 1 will lead to giving up the inside for
    turn 2. But being on the inside for turn 2 will give you a poor exit
    onto the 2-4 "straight".

    Zone 2 is also constructed with what looks like a late activation point,
    so I'm wondering if it too was chosen to put the cars together just as
    they get to the braking zone for the final bend.

    Another slightly interesting point for me is that if you zoom right in
    on the PDF track map, you can see that the track drawing is composed of triangles, which suggests that it was probably pulled straight from CAD
    and is probably very accurate because of it.

    So you think he's magically a worse driver when he drives here in

    It's the simple transitive property.

    "Transitive", my ass. Faster than an aged-out Runoffs Champion.

    So he won in 2015 and when exactly did he "age out"?

    He and I are almost exactly the same age, BTW. I can't remember if he's

    ...or whether it was just a club meeting.

    So, what was the lap record at Bryar for D Production?




    I have no idea what was the DP lap record in the original Bryar track configuration, nor was anyone shooting for one in a Thursday 'arrive and drive' practice.

    For reference, the 1972 Bryar Trans Am Under 2.5 pole was 1:16.0, and
    the fast race lap was 1:17.5, while the IMSA Three-Hour Under pole was
    1:14.3, both on the original Bryar track configuration.

    Transitive and gall-worthy, huh!

    Have you ever actually raced... ...anything?

    :-)


    It's 'transitive', baby!

    It's only transitive if you compare it to a known quantity.

    If I know that A < B and that B < C, then I know that A < C.

    So how does your lap time actually compare to a comparable?

    It's interesting how you duck these questions, isn't it?





    For reference, the 1972 Bryar Trans Am Under 2.5 pole was 1:16.0, and
    the fast race lap was 1:17.5, while the IMSA Three-Hour Under pole

    Did you rac...

    ...pardon me, did you practice your three laps on the current layout, or
    the orginal?


    The road course at Mission Raceway has been in operation since 1992
    (IIRC) and in its current layout, since 2008.

    In 2008, the FF lap record was set by Rick Payne (the future 2015
    Runoffs Champion in FF) in a Swift at 1:13.248

    2009 David McKay (Lola T644) lowered it to 1:12.783

    2011 Olov Brandfors (Crossle 40/45F): 1:12.255

    2012 Alan McColl (1977 Tiga): 1:11.880

    2015 Alan lowers it to 1:11.026

    2016 Doug Floer (Van Diemen RF94): 1:10.863

    On May 6, 2018 Doug lowers it to 1:10.583; where it currently stands.

    My best was on July 14, 2018 @ 1:10.833

    And just to let you know, it's not like Rick hasn't been back and racing
    in better equipment than the original Swift (which is still fairly
    competitive 37 years after it was introduce anyway). He's been at
    Mission in his much more modern Piper, and his times against Alan McColl
    show they are pretty much at the same level of talent.

    Facts, Pipsqueak.

    ...or whether it was just a club meeting.

    So, what was the lap record at Bryar for D Production?




    I have no idea what was the DP lap record in the original Bryar
    track configuration, nor was anyone shooting for one in a Thursday
    'arrive and drive' practice.

    Oh... ....so it was just practice. Got it.

    Did you ever actually race... ...anything?



    What did I need to prove, with that second lap of three?

    You did three laps on a practice day...

    (Did you have a driving instructor in the car, BTW?)

    ...but you ducked another easy question:

    Have you ever actually raced... ...anything?

    :-)


    It's 'transitive', baby!

    It's only transitive if you compare it to a known quantity.

    If I know that A < B and that B < C, then I know that A < C.

    So how does your lap time actually compare to a comparable?

    It's interesting how you duck these questions, isn't it?





    For reference, the 1972 Bryar Trans Am Under 2.5 pole was 1:16.0,
    and the fast race lap was 1:17.5, while the IMSA Three-Hour Under
    pole was 1:14.3, both on the original Bryar track configuration.

    Transitive and gall-worthy, huh!

    Not really.



    Yeah, right. Keep huffing.

    The former Bryar operates as a modified 1.6 mile road racing course
    incorporating more of the NHMS oval.

    Maybe you can snag a competitive lap time. Maybe not. I am told the
    current Formula-F track record is 1:05-ish.

    Did you rac...

    ...pardon me, did you practice your three laps on the current layout, or
    the orginal?



    Asked and answered, skippy. Reading is fundamental. Catch up.



    The road course at Mission Raceway has been in operation since 1992
    (IIRC) and in its current layout, since 2008.

    In 2008, the FF lap record was set by Rick Payne (the future 2015
    Runoffs Champion in FF) in a Swift at 1:13.248

    2009 David McKay (Lola T644) lowered it to 1:12.783

    2011 Olov Brandfors (Crossle 40/45F): 1:12.255

    2012 Alan McColl (1977 Tiga): 1:11.880

    2015 Alan lowers it to 1:11.026

    2016 Doug Floer (Van Diemen RF94): 1:10.863

    On May 6, 2018 Doug lowers it to 1:10.583; where it currently stands.

    My best was on July 14, 2018 @ 1:10.833

    And just to let you know, it's not like Rick hasn't been back and racing
    in better equipment than the original Swift (which is still fairly competitive 37 years after it was introduce anyway). He's been at
    Mission in his much more modern Piper, and his times against Alan McColl show they are pretty much at the same level of talent.

    Facts, Pipsqueak.


    Who but you gives a flying 'fact' fuck? Talk to the hand, huffer.

    Repeating, my best of three, nothing to prove, 'arrive and drive' laps,
    on the original Bryar circuit was fun, and memorable.

    If you don't like the idea, or the answers, who gives a flying fuck?

    Not me, certainly, and I'll venture not many. Buh-bye, insufferable oaf.

    There are no chicanes. The problem is the high-speed (in several cases flat-out) curves between opaque walls, leaving possible accidents or
    debris just ahead unsighted.

    Several drivers have suggested these need to be replaced with true
    straights in the interest of safety. Race director Michael Masi demurs, saying the track only needs some "fine tuning" rather than significant changes.

    Alpine boss Marcin Budkowski, while trying to be diplomatic, perhaps
    said more than he should have here: "I still think it's a risk that is manageable, to be honest. Of course like Lando said also, when a big
    accident happens we all will discuss it differently."

    Note "when," not "if."

    Ok, so they aren't called officially chicanes. But when you put two or more tight turns close together so that two cars can't be side by side w/o running or behind over the curbs it's a bad design.

    I agree with you that they were effectively chicanes, but two cars CAN

    They're not "tight turns," they're high speed sweepers. "A chicane is a serpentine curve in a road, added by design rather than dictated by
    geography. Chicanes add extra turns and are used both in motor racing
    and on roads and streets to slow traffic for safety." (Wikipedia) The
    curves in question slow the cars not at all (or very little); calling
    them chicanes is an abuse of the language.

    Not at all. Chicanes add another dimension to the track; to some tracks
    more so than others admittedly. There are far bigger problems in
    respect of being able to race side by side than chicanes; e.g.
    aerodynamics, dirty/dusty tracks, marbles.
    There does not need to be a chicane to prevent side by side racing.
