Improper start (start accident) that should not be Auto Race

Hello AutoRocker KIYO.

This time, describes the improper start in Auto Race.

The start is so important that it affects subsequent deployments.

An improper start can be a nuisance to other race members and fans.

Before getting into the main subject, I would like to explain the start line and start signal machine(big clock) that are essential for a start .

Those in the start position

The camera at the start position is omitted.

Start line has been drawn in each 10meters from 0meters.

The cameras are evenly spaced above to ensure that the auxiliary lines have front wheels.

The yellow rectangle is the infrared sensor,
which is actually outside the track,
but on the avoidance zone for illustration purposes.

A thick line and a thin start line are drawn side by side, but the thin line is an auxiliary line for mounting the front wheel, and the thick line is the original start line.

There are infrared sensors on both sides of the start line, which detect start timing and flying start.

Explanation of start signal machine (big clock)

The start signal machine looks like the illustration below. Here we explain each role.

The blue lamps on the right will disappear one by one from the top 10 seconds before.

Start 5 seconds before the hands on the dial face turn half a turn, at the timing right above.

The three yellow lights on the top are used to direct the engine to start and are rarely used today as it is pushed out of the pits and onto the track.

Start signal mchine (big clock)

In addition there is a number of from 1 to 8 on the top, this will display the car number that did the flying start.

When the five left-hand side of the red lamp blinks tells the accident.
It is used not only for flying start but also for stopping the competition due to an accident during the race.

If the start was normal, a white and light blue check pattern is displayed in the center of the clock face.

The start signal machine was introduced to all racetracks in 1989, but before that, it was started by sending a start signal using a flag.

If the start signal machine is broken,sometimes I use a flag.

Type of start accident

There are five types of accidents at the start.

In either case, if you make an accident, you lose your right to win.

Fring start

It means that the moving needle pops out 5 seconds before it is directly above.

The figure shows the No. 5 flying start.

Left behind

Even if another car starts, it means that you cannot start.

If a player with a light handicap cannot be placed in the front, a player with a heavy handicap in the rear collides with another driver, resulting in an accident.

In the figure, car 2 (black) remains
Car 5 (yellow) can’t avoid Car 2…

Backward start

1 second before the start
Front wheel is not grounded on the auxiliary line
The start looks normal,
Seeing fast because of the momentum

The act of starting before the needle is directly above without installing the tire at the start line.

The sensor on the start line cannot detect the flying start even before the needle is directly above.

However, it is checked by surveillance cameras on the starting line.

Start warning

1 second before the start
Front wheel is not grounded on the auxiliary line
The start should be normal
but this should not be

The act of starting without attaching a tire to the start line is the same as the rearward start, but it looks normal because the needle starts right above.

Abnormal start

Immediately after the vehicle starts, it refers to a situation in which an accident such as a car fall occurs.

If you fall, raced to the race will be stopped.

In this case, there is a fear that involving others.

Penalty provision

Fring start, left behind, and abnormal starts will lose the right to win after the next day.

Backward start, will be a penalty break the next day.

If you meet the penalty on the last day of the holding, you have the right to win the next opportunity, but you will incur a penalty later.

In addition, flying start, left-behind, and backward start in the winning race of the grade race will make the penalty even more severe.

The SG Race Championship loses the right to participate in the next race only for that race.

Repetition of improper start …

If you fly away you have to restart, but if one player does this twice it is stopped.

In addition, if you repeat the start over a total of four times, the race will be failured.

The reason is that the parts of the clutch part become defective when the race is repeated, and the other reason is that the start time of the later race is delayed.

Summary

When a race is in play, we want to take the lead in the start.

If the start is the point of the game, an accident can be avoided in the maintenance and practice.

Once a player has a flying start, he or she will be cautiously delayed when running again, but some players will jump out without losing the game even if they lose the right to win.

Why don’t you enjoy the story that begins with “About position”, “Preparation” and “Don!”?
