Bug found in timing software – Q3 Update

Bug found in timing software - Q3 Update

Having based our report from Q3 on the official timing sheets issued to us by Race Control, it has since transpired a bug in the timing software issued an incorrect result.  The error was brought to our attention by our friend Cesar Salvadori of Salvadori Racing Modelismo in Brazil who on reading our report went and analysised the individual laps times of Hideki Iriguchi.  Posting on the Red RC Facebook page that his average lap time made it impossible to do a 36-lap we in turn brought it to the attention of race officials.  On investigation the matter, they have found a bug in the software issued Iriguchi with two extra laps for reasons unknown.  The incorrect time originally put the Japanese driver who works at ZAC Project 8th fastest.  Race officials are currently in contact with the software developers to try and discover what caused the pretty significant bug.  Having been pushed out of the Top 10 by the false result KM Racing’s Adrien Bertin is now back holding the 10th fastest at the end of Q3.
