AS + SMX + SM + T3 at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
One run is left out as not that car's own laps (far quicker than the car managed in any other session and than anyone else in its class all week; usually a swapped transponder): Jarrett Jones in Atlanta Region SCCA Hoosier Super Tour @ Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta Morning test (1:26.895; the car's best in any other session was 1:43.195 and the rest of the class's best all week 1:42.071).
One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it.
Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.
Sectors
S1 SF → IM1
S2 IM1 → IM2
S3 IM2 → SF
SPd IM2 → IM3 0.02 mi
Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

Data Acquisition 1 A technical evaluation process for cars is available from the Series. Part of this process is the required download of AiM Data files after each timed session (Qualifying 1 & 2, Races 1 & 2). Within 30 minutes of each timed session end, all Series Competitors MUST send the AiM Data file (.XRK) for all timed laps of that session to the secure email address (data@specmx-5.com), where data will be reviewed by AiM directly. Failure to adhere to this guideline from the Series, or having non- functioning data, may be grounds for penalty or disqualification by the Series. a. Vehicle must be equipped with current generation AiM data acquisition system (configurable in Race Studio 3) that can provide on track data to AiM race studio 3. The data acquisition system may only read the OBDII/ECU data stream. It is not permitted to alter/manipulate data to and from the ECU. The AiM system may be utilized to trigger a switch I.E., cooling fans or diff cooler pumps but must be wired via a separate analog circuit. Refer to Section 17: Electrical Equipment above for installation requirements. b. The connection at the OBDII port for the AiM system may be made in either one of two ways: 1. Through a dedicated OBDII AiM adaptor. 2. By direct wiring to the back of the OBDII port within 3” of the ODBII connector. c. Fuel pressure datalogging is required. d.

Mandatory Video Camera Cars running in Spec MX-5 must have a functioning video recorder/camera during all qualifying and race sessions as described in 9.3.11. Upon request by an SCCA official, competitors must provide their video recording/data, which may be used by the SCCA for any purpose including but not limited to rule enforcement and marketing. Failure to comply with a video request from an official, or having a non-functioning video recorder/camera may will be grounds for penalty or disqualification. 22. Parts Confiscation a. Tech officials may confiscate competitors’ parts for the purpose of verification of tech compliance. 23. Penalties Clarification – Non-Compliant Parts Level Infraction Penalty 1 Non-compliant modification to any of the spec parts, engine components, ECU/Elec- tronics or modification to the chassis.
