Brands Hatch - 6th June 2024 - Round 7

[Olaf Lehmann]

ou was the fastest Bjorn. Not only fastest lap is yours, in many laps you was the fastest says my BestLap tool.

Some is mysterious in Standings table. I'm sure before yesterdays Race Seb was one point in front of me. Now he is one front of me like before. Maybe the problem is the Riverside race? I have seen Seb has one point, but I was the sixth place.
By the way the link for Brands replay doesn't work.

You are driving well John and you have without a doubt upped your general pace. Ive noticed this in oAo as well.

Good job.

Thanks Dag, coming from you that is a real compliment.

TTFN

Qual
Happy to get a solid PB in at the last lap that put me in P2.

Race
After a good start, I passed me Bjørn in to turn 1.

Pulled up a gap the first laps, but as John got in to P2 he started chasing me down.
As the race enfolded I thought John was on a 1 stopper, but as we passed lap 20 I understand that he was going to the end.

He was close and we were in for a good battle when he made a mistake and spun.
But not many laps later ha had cached me again.
Then as I started pushing I felt me tires were coming back and I managed to pull a way from him towards the end.

Overall very happy with my race.

Congratulations to John and Olaf for joining me on the podium.

See you all down under after our summer break.

Sad to hear Dag. Hope the summer does you good, and we all see you back racing after the break.

It might be me who have missed something last time around.

Please check the Excel file, I think the old result was not correct.

The link is now updated.

[Olaf Lehmann]

I compared the Excel table with the RA reports again, i.e. only Seb and my placings/points.
It matches, except for Riverside. There I was sixth according to the RA, Seb was DNF. In the excel, however, I have zero points and Seb has the one point.
It's quite strange, because apparently everything was still correct before the Brands race...

Generally speaking, it's easy to make mistakes when entering points manually.
In the EOLC we had a database solution at the time. A program had entered the points into the database directly from the replays. And the ranking lists were created from this database.
Otherwise we would have gone crazy, because around 2007 there were 70 drivers in four grids.

Sorry for this.

It's corrected now.

Yes, it had been easier with a database.
