There is definitely a trick to regularity. Not from my experience but via others who do quite a bit in the Regularity Series at Marulan. Looks like most of the EVOs nominated times quite off their pace because it would be "easy " to achieve. Harder to do than to drive at probably 95% of your best.  My gut feel just says Travis was just using regularity as 9 extra track laps chasing the red EVO. WOT ...Does Trav know any other way? I think we had a quick chat at the back of the garages with the red EVO driver who said his mirrors were full of red BMW for most of the time turns 4 through 8/9 till the EVO disappeared down the straight each lap. Ironic that the red EVO "pace car" helped Trav to do so well in the regularity.

So a good result in regularity can make you win outright irrespective of performance in the other events? Sounds heavily weighted towards the regularity result. I accept the result though don't like it. It's not fair. Each event should be weighted equally.

Chill and bathe in the glory that Ken's AW11 was quickest by a good margin on the main circuit. Well deserved in a car that I would perceive to be considerably harder to drive well than most EVOs.  In no way take this as an attack on the robot cars or taking anything away from the EVO drivers. They still have to be driven well but you personally told many of us how easy you thought they were to drive quickly. Weighting is always going to be a problem when we have such disparite cars. We all achieved what we went there for. We all had fun.
 
Perhaps we could give 2 wheel drive cars a 0.4 sec handicap over the 4WD brigade. That would have put a different slant on the friendly rivalry between two good mates -- just joking Joyce before I get totally flamed.

Not sure why if you have a crap placing in a event, any event for that matter do you think it should not count to the overall placing? 
 

Wasn't it some Bradman guy who got one last duck to drop his average from over 100 to 99.94

Glenn it was made pretty clear on the first day that the weighting was in favour of the regularity and that a good performance would be required in that round.

Then the outright placings mentioned earlier aren't overall are they? They are actually results of the regularity if they are heavily weighted that way.
 
Why can't we have true outright placings as well as regularity placings?
 
Where is the recognition for the guys that consistently pumped out fast times in every time attack session?
 
There were 7 time attack sessions and the silver EVO won 5 of them.
 
I've had my say. I'll back off now and shut up.

Yeah it was friendly banter and those sorts of things make it more fun. Not taken too seriously and you genuinely want to beat the other person, but you also want it to be so close to make it interesting.
 
Adrian if you ever wish to come down i have a room spare too, so if you do think of coming down let me know. 
 
I would like to do Winton sometime early this year to set a time anyway. I have not done Phillip island since i was 18 and Sandown i have never driven (have been around there but not me driving)

Over the last few days since the event, I can't stop thinking about the various corners of the Wakefield track. I'm sure I'm not the only one hahaha.
 
I've been re-watching a lot of videos from Wakefield on youtube, which is much more useful to me now, having actually driven at Wakefield for the first time. At the event there were so many thoughts running through my mind, not to mention the beginner's nerves, but now that I've had a few days to relax and think, I've realised that there are so many little ways in which I can prepare and improve my lap times next year! I assume that it's probably the same for any beginner...the first time at the track is quite nerve-racking at times, so you don't really have a chance to properly analyse where you're losing time on each corner.
 
Also, at this year's event I couldn't help but stress about breaking something on my car (because I only just got it back, with heaps of power), but after seeing how well it handled the event I'll be slightly less worried about that next time.
 
As you can see, I'm already looking ahead to next year, and hoping to be a bit more competitive. This year I just wanted to learn the track layout and have a lot of fun, which I certainly did!
 
I may go to at least one trackday at Wakefield this year so I can start improving my times before next year's event.

Happy to have you at the event next year Sebastian. We may need to spend longer talking about overtaking for your sake however.
