This is our Race Practise page. This will show our progress in practising racing our Kit Cars around a track and checking our times each time. We have been practising pushing the cars, turning round cones and learning how to park our cars in a tight space. We have tried to replicate the races that our race team will compete in on race day.
Track
We changed the track both the cars would go on. We changed the track once to go the other way and the other way we changed it to have some cone the cars would have to go around them. The last change of the track was adding a parking lot (a group of 4 cones to make a square shape for the car to park in) to park in the car to test if we could do it.
Below here will show some of the awesome pictures and lap times we took during our race practise around the tracks we built for testing our Kit car. So far everyone has had a turn in riding a Kit Car around the track (its really fun).
Name Time Clockwise Time Anticlockwise
Kieren: 56.42 seconds 57.35 seconds
Chloe Mc: 1.01.85 seconds 1.02.87 seconds
Dominika: 1.02.89 seconds 1.00.17 seconds
Romans: 58.48 seconds 1.02.67 seconds
Erin: 1.00.60 seconds 1.08.10 seconds
Grace: 1.04.25 seconds 59.29 seconds
Quotes
“We think the times are different because some people were holding down the button whereas some people were just pressing it and using the brake a lot of times.” Tessa and Erin.
“It is a cool looking car and it rides awesome when I was on it.” Luke.
“I like riding the silver car because it has nothing wrong with it and I had lots of fun going around the cones.” Romans.
The practise will improve our driving for the Kit Car team on 15th June and will hopefully give us a better chance of winning either of the races.
