International Regularity Rally 28 and 29 of June

[Pistacchio sprint 72]

Hello,

I will participate to the international rally of Colmiane and Bolline the saturday 28 and Synday 29 of june.
550km with 13 regularity stages.

On every cars a GPS trippy will be fitted. This will allow many controls everywhere by the organizors.
They won't need humans making secret checkpoints. They will check our trippy afterwards...
So no cheat possible : For example, a long straight ahead of you before 10 hairpins. So you look on both sides to spot if there are any secret checkpoints, you accelerate a bit because you know you will loose speed and time in the hairpins.... Now with that trippy they can set time checkpoint in the middle of the straight, at the end of the straight, after three hairpins and at the top of the hill! it is all computer stuff... no need to have friends waiting all day on the stage hidden behind trees with a chrono in their hands!
You need to respect and focus on regularity if you want to avoid to harvest zillions of penalty points!

Hello Pistacchio,
what do you use as tripmeter (the Blunik?) and what piramide ?

Regards

I have a Blunik for sale by the way...

but it is too complicated for me, I use this one..

All hidden in the glove box... excepts the remote leds

Nice, I had a similar setup, but with a ATB piramide and retrotrip, until I noticed that only in Germany they require "old style" equipment. In Spain you can use the Airbus board computer if can fit it. And some cars computing power looks like that. Now I am using a Brantz International 2s pro. Quite satisfied with it because it is easier to correct errors on the fly (retard and advance).

Mounted on an aluminium plate for easy plug and play, and for using it in my Golf MK1.

A shame that I have no picture of it in the Elan.

Lately we are using Rallymeter as piramide - very good results BTW - and are trying to install the sensor, which is different from the tripmaster/brantz sensors.

Your setup is more beautiful, I had to take off the glove box front as my calibration numbers were on the lower side.
Not an issue now with the International.

These two you are using exchange information and the lights on the dashboard do indicate late/good/too fast ?
Is it working for you ? Is it accurate ?

[Pistacchio sprint 72]

Thanks. Yes the tripmaster ATB and the "La Solution" are linked together. A guy in france specialized in these kind of things called Gilles from Chronopist did the custom led box.

La Solution tells you in meters if you re ahead or late. if you re in the second it buzzzzzzzzzzz
The led goes red you re late
the led goes amber you have too much advance
It has to be in the middle to be in the ideal time.

Yes it is precise and I will never blame the system. But it does not replace the voice of a copilot! I usually mes up big time when I missread the roadbook and miss a curve...

I usually do better if the copilot read the Excel sheet table and do many many checks the old school way!
