Potentially dumb question....how is the "raw time" in a OLOA time trial calculated?
Here's results from NCM this year...I see the morning TT the fastest car had a time of 7:04.589. What is that number derived from - out/flyer/in lap or something else?
A session of OLoA is a standing start and then 3 laps. Cross the finish line at your best speed and then basically have a cool down lap to get back to the pits.
All 3 laps count. There is no throw out.
In 7:04.589 that car went around NCM track 3 times from a single standing start.
Here's a link to a random video of an NSX running a NCM lap at 2:27.22 or simplified to just under 2.5 minutes per lap. Three laps would then be a simplified just under 7.5 minutes and that doesn't take in account for the standing start. The Onelapper ran the 3 laps in nearly half a minute faster.
Okay, so basically it is out lap/flyer/in lap all together...thanks so much!
