Good. Something to shoot for with each car. Breaking the 5-second lap time is going to be the next challenge. Of course this isn't going to be possible with the Carreras, but with the Slot.its it should be doable.
Also during the last race, the Shell Ford GT40 experienced a loss of a screw that mounts the shell on the chassis. I'm not sure whether it had an effect or not, but the car did have 3 wipeouts during the race, which is not normal for that car.

I reset the screw and made sure the car was set correctly, ensuring that all of the other various screws were in place. It just wasn't like this car to go off the track that often. So this would be the first car that was going to try to break the 5-second lap.
Since I don't have a digital lap counter, I'm getting my time based on an average lap time in a 50-lap run. If the run has an off it's discontinued. So maybe I should consider it an Average Lap Time. I'll be making these types of runs from now on with all the cars as the method for timing.
The Shell GT40 is now the record holder, setting a new average lap time of 4.82 seconds per lap. I expect the Alfa to come close to that, maybe even break it. The Gulf Ford won't without having urethane tires. I'm considering lending the Gulf the Shell car's urethanes. That would be interesting. Since the cars rarely race each other in real time at the same time, there's no reason I couldn't share tires. The tires won't fit on the Carreras, so they remain in the bin.
