mega endurance race 2007 (commitee discussion)

Dear all,

posted this thread in commitee only because it maybe sensitive due to $$$ involve.

Acquired confirmation from Wan Xin that our cost will be RM180 per kart therefore 2 hours will be RM360.

Wan Xin propose RM200 that thropies will be provided. If that is the case that we are taking this package, I would suggest to go for 3 throphies per kart, it also means every team will have throphies at the end.

Wan Xin suggested that we should no go price below RM240 because that is the market price to public hoping that we can conform to that.

I will propose RM240 x 2 hours per team therefore RM480 / 3 drivers that gives RM160 per driver. We are taking RM200 package + throphies. Member will get RM20 rebate to individual, not to the team.

Please feedback, urgent. Thank you.

bro - thanks for this.

1. i am ok with maintaining "market price" to participants at RM240 per team per hour. but do benchmark with the A1TM, MAAU event and other similar events. A1TM event was RM300 per team (but includes additional time for practice etc)... see http://club.my-kart.org/node/1552

2. price at RM160 per driver may be too high... given our experience with the TEAMS enduro series. ~ RM100-RM120 per driver sounds alright...

3. 2 hour enduro sounds daunting for the non-hard cores... what if we position it as 30-45 minutes practice & qualifying and the rest are enduro?

sounds ok. although the RM500 per team works to about RM250 per kart per hour... which is significantly lower than the A1TM and MAAU events i believe. are we ok with this?

Wan Shin for some reason mentioned to keep it at RM240 so as not to so call "spoil the market". I reckon the higher cost for MAAU and A1TM could include other things like some refreshments or prizes for instance?

Can someone who participated in those events confirm this.

The MAAC they charged RM80/driver = RM320/team.... i did saw few boxes of 'mineral water' for the participants & packed noodles and for the prizes they gave medals for the top 3 teams + a bottle of 'sparkling wine'. The team with the fastest lap time also received a medal... err i believe that all Embarassed

this is what i am saying. the market value for a 1 hour enduro (plus practice) is around RM300 per team (or around RM100 per driver). we would like to be able to give out goodies etc. so if we can do this then it'll be great.

oppss... besides medals there were two trophies, if I'm not mistaken Their Championship Trophy and the other one i can't recall.. Cry

naza:

Sure, we will do the same......trophies and medals plus some sandwichwes and water....afterall this is the Grand Finale! We will wait for Luen to propose some more details on this subject including race format and rules.

Dare I say this,.......Luen and I are seriously thinking about a my-kart Iron Man Race to be slotted in November 2007, since there are no races in that month before the Dec 1st Grand Finale. It will be a 2 driver team running the 80cc kart for 2 hours! ( sorry, we dont think the 4 driver, 2 hour race is challenging enough for the hard core my-karters...hehehe...jangan marah ye). Of course, we are not expecting 20 teams for this....but than there are not too many hard - core karters around,.....I stand corrected!

how about 30 minutes qualifying + 120 minutes race charging RM600 / 4 = 150 per driver?

or

RM600 120 minutes per team plus food catering and throphies

or

what will be the ideal charging price, please comment.

Had dinner with Naza just now, were discussing about Ironman challenge of 120 minutes 2 drivers per team. This will be different series of endurance race series.

ok , to maintain market price, we sale RM600 per team for 2 hours

20 minutes qualifying + 100 minutes endurance.
Throphies and light food provided.

But then again, if RM600 for 2 hours per race, the ironman challenge is going to be pricy though.

please together we set a right price. I will prepare race format and technical admin format later once we have agreed upon the price.

Yeah!, do an early bird package by giving RM40 off to the TEAM if they register before 30th October 2007. To give enough preparation time for CK , close all registration on 23rd November 2007.

Can we agree with the above proposal?

»

naza:

Luen,
Some of my thoughts with regards to Rules and Race Format:

1. If a team is not satisfied with their kart, allow the change AFTER the Qualifying session has ended. In addition, the team will lose some positions (decision?) as penalty.

2. Allow kart change, subject to availability only if it cannot move due to its own fault. However, no kart change will be allowed if the kart cannot move due to accidents irrespective of who is at fault.

3. What about total driver weights?.....shall a minimum weight rule be adopted?

"Incompatibility" here means?.....very poor kart performance to be decided solely by race director / organiser? (The organiser's decision is final)

Every 3 mins excess of total team?....theoretically not possible as race will end at 100 minutes.

More important is how do we monitor each driver of every team not to exceed 35 mins. Some sort of system is needed, maybe discuss later.

luen:

Yeah Naza you are right. It will not exceed 100 minutes in total time

I think we should set min 20 and max 35 of individual driving time, penalty on 3 minutes exceed and or below. Sum of track time of individual driver may be multiple pit stops since it is unlimitted pitstop race. Example below shows detail ;

example of individual driver exceed and below 3 minutes buffer for both driver1 and driver 4
driver 1 40 minutes --> pit1 15 minutes ---> pit2 15 minutes ---> pit3 10 minutes
driver 2 25 minutes --> pit1 15 minutes ----> pit 2 10 minites
driver 3 19 minutes --> pit 1 19 minutes
driver 4 16 minutes ---> pit1 16 minutes
total pit time for this team is 7

example of 3 minutes buffered to individual
driver 1 38 minutes
driver 2 22 minutes
driver 3 22 minutes
driver 4 18 minutes

Control system
==============
there will be a docket or piece of card board given to each team, driver that comes back from track will need to take this card for timestamp at control booth with official signature.

Sum up time stamps will be the total time on track, this method will be useful during the race. During qualifying, driver would just need to report him/herself at control booth after each run.

please comment

Errr may be should use the word incompetence instead. yes subjec to kart availability and final decision by race admin

monitoring driver stint times is a little difficult i thought. any objections to pre-determined driver change windows - like what we did for the old mega-enduro races? that way we can check teams that change driver and avoid any teams having their fastest (and lightest) driver drive the majority of the laps.

thoughts?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe the total minimum weight for all male drivers team is 270kg in our old mega-endurance race.

Deduct 10kg for every female driver.

previous race does not include qualifying round. Qualified standings already decided and proved of weight over speed matter. This also avoid of unwanted heavy-weight drivers. But I agreed deduct some total weight if having female driver onboard, but not 10 kg
