2015 Summer Season

The ISRL Grand Prix sporting regulations for the 2015 Summer Season are posted.
http://www.mini-az.com/isrldownloads.html

The regs for the second half of the year are the same, save for a clarification of track tile substitutions and grid options. The class regs are unchanged.

As before there are three championship titles to compete for: STK, MOD and Overall. Stock is a 70t or slower brush series, Modified is a 50t or faster brush/brushless series. Overall combines the scores from both for an overall standing. There is also a Club Championship title.

The Petty, Mansell and Loeb circuits return again this season.

There are two track additions to the lineup. The Agostini Circuit has been modified to loosen up the overly difficult Quick45 chicanes into an easier flow while retaining the track's character. And the quite impossible Chagin Circuit has been replaced by the all new Kageyama Circuit, named for three time JGTC champion Masahiko Kageyama. The new layouts are pictured below (printer-friendly maps are available by clicking on the track images on the ISRL website).

Note: The Agostini Circuit uses RCP's Quick45 tiles in a way similar to slot car tracks. There is about a 1.4in overlap at one end of the chicane, but there should be sufficient track flex to connect cleanly.

The new season starts July 1st. See you on the grid.

Agostini Circuit (ver03):


The Kageyama Circuit:

The results of the ISRL GP 2015 Summer Season timing and scoring are up for the first race of the season, Round #1 (Race #1-2):
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlgp2015b.h...RL_GP_2015_Jul

Track speed records are updated on the Hall of Fame page:
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlhof.html#TrackRecords

They were actually posted on-time on August 1st, but between a heavy work schedule and some PC problems, I'm just now getting caught back up on posting about it. At Mini-AZ we've already run August's Mansell Circuit, but as always those results remain un-posted until Sept 1st, allowing other clubs join the series.

July returned to the wide open Petty Circuit. 3-tile wide all the way around makes for a high speed race in such a small area. About 2.7sec per lap faster than the average of the other circuits on the calendar.

Joe entered the race holding all the speed records. DJ got within 0.143sec of taking the MOD Class record, but Joe walks away still king of the track. Joe had an otherwise hit-n-miss kind of day, but by capturing 3 out of 4 of the Fast Lap bonuses was able to push his scores over the top to take the early lead in all three categories.

1st and 2nd are ties in all three championship standings with the other drivers close behind. So with four more races to go for 2015 Summer, its anyone's championship!

See you on the grid.

Apparently I forgot to post about the August (Round #2) results at the Mansell Circuit! Thought I had done it. Oops. Anyway, rest assured the results were posted at the beginning of September.
Round #2 (Race #3-4):
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlgp2015b.h...RL_GP_2015_Aug
Lots of shakeup in the standings breaking up the leaderboard ties from the first week.

Now to get back on schedule-
The results of the ISRL GP 2015 Summer Season timing and scoring are up for the first race of the season, Round #3 (Race #5-6):
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlgp2015b.h...RL_GP_2015_Sep

This was our first run on the newly redesigned Agostini Circuit. The new layout used a little less floor space, and on the day we realized we had enough track to expand it out to the usual dimensions. So since I was confident another club wasn't going to jump in... we made a last minute layout adjustment (the track map on the ISRL website shows this new version).

So we ran on the newly re-re-designed layout (Yes, if another club had jumped in on Round #3 I would have had to dump Mini-AZ's results. We took the risk). The new layout retained the Quick45 chicane complex and Agostini's characteristics while making it more drivable for 30cm tiles.

The technical sections were still quite challenging, the fast sections were a full power blast, and the whole thing was a lot of fun. In particular the chicane running in the CCW direction. The driving line nearly touches the first right side apex and arcs around to within millimeters of the left side double apex (mid-chicane). The key to the whole lap is that first apex. Get it right and you come blasting out of the chicane to carry all that speed into the 3-tile wide outer loop! Get it wrong and you're playing ping-pong. Take it cautiously and you lose 0.5sec to the bold!

DJ owned all the fast laps on the old layout. The redesigned layout is 8.8ft longer, but its faster flow allowed the old records to easily fall. DJ beat his old STK Class record by 0.597sec with a blistering 06.800sec lap. Joe beat the MOD Class record by 0.405sec, but was still a quarter second slower than STK. So DJ holds on to the track record from the Stock Class! Unfortunately DJ couldn't stay for the MOD class because that's where he really shines. What might that record have been...

Two races remain this season as drivers continue to stay in close contention and swap spots on the leardboard.

See you on the grid.

October returned us to the Loeb Circuit, which brought us a big leaderboard upset and one of the tightest races this series has ever seen! STK is now tied for 1st with one race remaining.

In the STK CW race the gap from 1st to 3rd was 05.661sec. Dusty and Hood, both challenging for the championship, tied for Fast Lap out to 1/1000th of a second! Hood finished ahead of Dusty so the +5 bonus points went to Hood. STK CCW was even closer with 1st to 3rd only 00.839sec apart at the checkers and only 0.095sec between Fast Laps.

A strong finish would have cemented Dusty's championship, but two 3rd place finishes and two wins by DJ have upset the leaderboard and locked in a 3-way battle for the championship title. DJ's two wins moved him from 3rd up to a tie with Dusty for 1st and Hood close behind. With 25pts separating 1st-3rd on the leaderboard and a 20pt scoring difference between 1st and 2nd finishes, +5pts for Fast Lap, its anybody's game!

One race remains for the 2015 season at the new Kageyama circuit.

See you on the grid.

Just a quick note: We've made an adjustment to the Kageyama Circuit making it slightly larger to fill the standard space used by the other tracks. No other clubs are running, so I don't expect this will cause any problems.

The circuit image in the previous post is updated, and as always printer friendly track maps are on the ISRL website.

Championship Results and 2016 Announcement

The final results of the ISRL GP 2015 Summer Season timing and scoring are up for Round #5 (Race #9-10):
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlgp2015b.h...RL_GP_2015_Nov

Track speed records are updated on the Hall of Fame page:
http://www.mini-az.com/isrlhof.html#TrackRecords

And our new champions crowned! Congratulations to:
Hood- Overall Champion
Hood- MOD Class Champion
Dusty- STK Class Champion


November visited the new Kageyama Circuit for the first time, and it was a fast but challenging track.

This final round began with 1st and 2nd tied in points in the STK Class, with 3rd close behind! It was an extremely close fought season from race #1 to the last lap of race #10. After the last checker flew, Hood held on to the Overall Championship by just 5 points over 2nd. 2nd and 3rd tied in points with the position going to DJ owing to his greater number of wins tipping the scales.

Thanks to everyone that participated and we look forward to racing in 2016.

=====================================

The 2016 ISRL GP sporting regs are posted:
http://www.mini-az.com/isrldownloads.html

The format is changing this time. The season will now run one per year. There are still five races but they are broken into two month groupings.
Race #1-2 Feb-Mar
Race #3-4 Apr-May
Race #5-6 Jun-Jul
Race #7-8 Aug-Sep
Race #9-10 Oct-Nov


Hopefully the broader spread of time will make this series more accessible to other clubs.

See you on the grid in 2016.
