Grand Prix Updated

The Grand Prix has been updated following the National. Kenny has re-established a small lead over Jim. This was a tricky one to score for a number of reasons. Here are the problems and the adjudication on the points:

  • Stephen's race was only 2 laps compared to the seniors' 3 lap race. Before the race I stated that I would scale Stephen's time up in proportion. Doing this put Stephen in 3rd place overall in the gap between Martin and Scot. This was a sufficiently big gap that even if Stephen had slowed down by more than 2 minutes on the 3rd lap, he would still have finished in 3rd place. So, Stephen gets the 3rd place points.
  • Chas pulled out after 2 laps so gets the 2 points for 11th position plus the effect of the jokers.
  • Eddie arrived late and missed the start so gets the point for 12th position.

A small adjustment to the results. As Eddie did not actually start the race (through no fault of his own) he gets the point for turning up but does not get the jokers. This has been the normal rule when this has happened in the past.
