Chief Stipe Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Big variation between the shute and the straight. Good to see the green grass ALL over and no drone shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago hand timed or not the distance has to be a farce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago If the times are incorrect and are adjusted later off the video why bother posting them in the first place? At least they've worked out how to not broadcast the drone shot for the first 600m. Must make it easier for the commentator as well as the Trackside viewer.

SLB2.0 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The distances can't be correct, because even if hand-timed, the discrepancy is 3-4 seconds in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How frigging hard is it to get one of those wheelie thingis and measure the distance? It's not as if the move the rail in the shute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless... Do they have no funds? Is there a major redevelopment of the track scheduled? Or have they decided to close Trentham down as uneconomic to renovate and move to Awapuni? Or do false times make the track look better than it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
