A-Okay GG and glad you caught on because left up to me - I'm still neither here nor there when it comes to electricity, other than knowing about pressing a on/off button to do something :)

On a separate note GG,

Check out this study with the - Rally Car Class - first six drivers/cars & their winning points ...
  • 1. Ramesh/Own Car ................. 24
    2. Steve/Own Car .................... 18
    3. Gordon/Own Car .................. 14
    4. Jon/Ramesh's Car ................. 9
    5. Jonathan/Steve's Car ............ 6
    6. Luke/Gordon's Car ................ 4
Look how the second three (4, 5 & 6) drivers/car owners finishing positions end-up just like the first three (1, 2 & 3) drivers/own car podium finishers.

It just goes to show how these (A & B) group of cars are progressing in set-up performances.

Wondering what you or anyone else would thing about this observation :?:

What I think is that cars 3 and 6 should switch places with cars 1 and 2 , respectively. At least that's my objective :D

Interesting discussion on chief marshall being able to stop races. Would be great if it could somehow be implemented .
Gordon, re Rally Class, I would prefer to see car 2 switch places with car 1.
Luke, just for the record, the rally car that Jonathan and I drove, although prepared by me, is actually owned by Jonathan. Hopefully at the next Rally Class event I will be driving my own car. Maybe you will be too !

Okay then GG & Steve,

It seems ~ Everybody wants to Rule the World ..! :)

About the Electrical "STOP & GO" (Track Call) Button

I believe this new feature @ FRC ... if/when successfully brought about ... is going in the right direction.

This Off/On electrical switch for Race Control Tower/Chief Steward will be an additional benefit with all racing events.
  • • No more excuses not hearing or understanding any "STOP & GO" Track Calls.
    • No more uncalled for questions or opposing a Head Steward track call during a race.
    • No more cars with "excessive" coasting on the track.
I cant think of any other unnecessary situations experienced during our heated races but sure this added electrical device will resolve these kinds of issues fast 8-)
