Unfortunately, due to the settings on the YouTube streams, I am unable to embed them here like I prefer to do.

 

This LINK will take you to the YouTube page where you can select the particular stream you wish to view.

Amazingly good coverage

[Gary Adams]

Great picture, sound, and coverage! Thank you to those responsible.

[Cheater]

Just a notę to indicate that the YouTube livestream showing today labled as 'Thursday' is actually Friday's stream, based on some of the racers in attendance that were not present yesterday.

Yeah, confused me for a while, too.

[Cheater]

Production qualifying is happening now.

Lithuania's Dominykas Budrys and America's Walker McAnulty win the 2023 ISRA Production class race from the B Main by almost six laps! Congrats to Budrys and McAnulty.
 
As an aside, at the 2019 ISRA Worlds in Corby, UK, Budrys teamed with America's Jonathan Forsyth to win the same class. (At that same event, Budrys finished second, second, and fourth in the other three classes contested!) Budrys and Fosyth also won the Production class at the 2018 ISRA Worlds in Vaasa, Finland.

Here's the lap totals of the top eight finishers in the Production race (PR24 in ISRA-speak).

 

 

If you're not familair with the LapMaster results chart color-coding, the bright green blocks indicate the most laps turned in the lane, the paler green the second best laps, and the palest green the third best. Budrys and McAnutly recorded the best or second best lap totals in five of the eight lanes. And the asterisk indicates the lane the team started on.

This graphic-style race development graph must have been added in a later version of LapMaster; I don't recall seeing it before but I simply might have not scrolled down far enough to view it.

Pretty impressive to see such a visual presenation of a 64-man race. As it clearly shows, Budrys and McAnulty led the race from start to finish.

It's a bit confusing with that chart as the winning team ran in the B and the LapMaster didn't show them taking the lead until about the 5th or 6th heat.

 

IOW, for four or five heats, the LapMaster had them in 4th or 5th place, based the pace the A Main racers were running.

[Cheater]

Perhaps Carsten will post to this thread to let us know what has happened here.

[MSwiss]

There were definitely three-four racers halfway through the race that had more than half the laps the winners had. And it wasn't like those racers all still had to hit a slow lane.

 

Very interestingly, the first and third highest heats were turned on opposite ends of the track, on black and red.

 

There was just a lot of pit action the second half.

 

Not taking away from their performance. Budrys' three Production wins using my weighted guide has certainly helped give them 'traction' with the ISRA racers.

 

Just trying to figure out why the chart works like it does.

[Cheater]

Wow! 107 entries for 1/32 Eurosport. Qualifying is happening now.

[SlotCarsten]

LapMaster statistics.

The bargraph was added in version 3.31 - Feb 2022. - Based on user input - Thank you for that.  
It is usually very nice. Admittedly it is a bit busy with this many entries.

 

For ISRA team racing the qualification is done based on number of laps for both drivers running a 30 sec segment.

And to make things worse, this amount of laps are included in the total result.

 

The prediction algorithm does not know of this twist, and is therefore a little off in its prediction, especially in the start of the heat. Prediction looks better than it really is in the beginning. As the race develops the "error" gets smaller and eventual gets to zero at the end of the race. However in early stints the result is a little to optimistic.

 

This problem doesn't exist when we get to straight heat racing. There the prediction is more spot-on.
 

Counting and result are not affected by this issue.

 

Norr are the statistics. Here the stint results are a calculation based on where you start and end each stint.
This is a calculated "true distance," not how many times you passed the counter, which can be +/- 1 count.

Eurosport 24 heat races on now, 99 entries. Ignore the Thursday label...

If you like really good slot racing, and you're not watching this as I type, you're really missing out.

[Cheater]

They just started a new stream... above link is dead now.

Newest link.

Well, that was one Seriously Good Final !!

 

Budrys was 6 x laps Up on Recek by the 4th bracket, (the two of them putting some distance between themselves and the rest) but Recek eventually caught Budrys,... "Slowly, slowly, catchy Monkey", as they say,. LOL, to end 3 laps up on Budrys !!

 

A perhaps 'typical' Very Fast and clean race.

 

Watching All the races this last week definitely 'screwed' with My sleeping patterns though !!,.. LOL

[MSwiss]

We were drag racing here at CR, but I managed to watch a fair amount of the race on my phone.

 

Recek appeared to have the fastest car, the last 2/3 or 3/4 of the race.

 

This chart confirms that;(and BTW, he finished on Black, so he was most likely on cruise control)

 

[Jaeger Team]

Actually Budrys stopped changing rears and restarted five laps back.

[stoo23]

Ahhh ok, I must have missed that when making a coffee,.. it Did seem surprising that the lap difference changed so suddenly.

I just figured he must have had some issue,..(as confirmed by yourself)

 

thanks
