Detroit Iron Cup

[djpimley]

I am starting to think about an event... scary stuff.

You might have noticed I have a soft spot for the Detroit iron of the 1960s and 1970s. We've got a great selection of pony cars and muscle cars which haven't been raced in competition since the days of RRL and which demand a driving style very different from TCC and GT cars.

I'm thinking of either a special event (Rumble Cup style) running over a weekend, or a little league rolled into RLRC. Just a thought with no plans yet. This would be a little thing, not in the big league.

Update.

I am short on time - sorry all.

Did you know...
... we had 23 Long races so far? (at least thats what i found on the forum thread...)
... with 55 different Participants?
... the last longrace was held on June 24 (!)

First glimps available here:

The website is by no means perfect, the adress for sure not the final destination.
I have one Elo-Ranking done for all races, the result is available.

More to come later, but not before Friday i fear, seing my mountain of work in front of me, argh!

Nice work Alphonse!
Looking forward to some more of those RLRC races.
I had nearly forgotten about it.
Thanks for all of your effort in bringing this back to the forefront.
I hope your real life workload gets easier soon. slow

just awesome work bud ... cant believe the extent you went to for the simple rlrc, finally we have a site for it

one favor if you will ... perhaps a simple banner i can use for the legacy website on the leagues page?

I remember the very first rlrc race was a TCC race. I got up at 4 A.M. to participate. I don't know where it was, though, and I cannot find the thread it was organised. It wasn't at the usual place, because I created the RLRC_Hosts account only after the first race.

Ah, found the link:
results of the first RLRC race at Lime Rock Park.

Did I really participate in 2 official long races ?
Damn … old age is coming !

I think i passed graduate 1 for internet searching.
Maybe even level 2.

But i did not find this one - thanks Tomte - will add the races aswell and play with numbers.
soon is friday...

This is great. A little more screen space for the information would be nice but the mechanism is working nicely.

Thanks for all the comments - will act accordingly

Added the "old" races to the elo system and recalculated all values.

Now we have 30 races with 62 participants and a different ranking.

Incredible how much was thought already. Never saw any solution being completed.
Time to change this.

Wanna discuss the coefficient K again? I started with 1500 base value for the ranking, k is set to 25 for all.
Seems reasonable for me - but i am open for a discussion.

Will update the website according your feedback and my ideas and organize a RLRC event.

Cant be the end

page updated:
- i love SF's layout - no need to invent anything special new - my opinion

Still missing
- Content besides some intro and the races themselves - any ideas around out there?
- nicer layout of results - WIP
