1st RTR AutoX+ Roadshow event

[STEVEMCMORN]

For autoX+ championship, there will not be any classes - we will instead use a PAX system developed by the Maverik PCA region in Texas (thanks to Nick for putting me in touch with them) which will act equalize all cars regardless of class or tweaks (and make my life a little easier)

For everyone interested in getting involved with the championship, I will ask them to complete MAV PAX spreadsheet (looks complex but not really) which can be found on  http://mav.pca.org/Events/AX.asp   and then send me your PPF (pax performance factor). The worse your car, the lower your factor -- erm let me re-phrase that, the better your car, the higher the PPF.

Let me give an example of how the PPF will equialize out the performance of individual cars... so difference comes down to driving (forgive any errors in the math(s)!)

Something like a stripped out 911 autox/track car with slicks, new springs and turbo will have a very high PPF of 0.99 . When multiple PPF 0.99 x their fast run time of say 60 second, the calculated PAX score will be 59(ish)

Compare this to stock boxster which has a lower PPF of ?0.8 x likely a slower run time of 72s which will result in a 60s PAX score. For a stock 911, PPF and runtime are likely to be will be somewhere in the middle of track car and boxster so 0.9 PPF x 67s = 61s PAX  

As a result, PAX scores are quite close and differences comes down to drivers, not car.  After each event, I will multiple time (in seconds) against PPF to get PAX time and then rank and award points to see how we did against each other

Whadda ya think?? not perfect but equalizes all cars and takes away the problem of me having to sort out groups etc etc et  (which might ionly have 1 or 2 cars in them) -- I think this is a good place to start and can tweak in future if required...........

Cheers Steve

PS - This is for Autox+ roadshow championship only - for own RTR AutoX event , will probably stick with groups as per previous years etc - yet to be decided
