What will the margin of difference be between the PLB and the FTD on the AutoX course tomorrow? Closest answer gets a $50 donation in his name to the Al Dantes family support fundraiser.

I have total faith in the team, not so much the tires at their disposal.

Are you going to use FTD overall? Including exhibition cars? Or under budget cars against the PLB?

FTD overall. Budget or not.

Pessimist. You are assuming the exhibition cars will win!

I propose a 2nd variant...

Over/ under for FTD for the exhibition cars vs FTD for the under budget cars.

I say 0.36, under budget cars for the win!

Wait, side bets? Who'll give me $20 that Andy's MR Spider and GoGators vet cart will be less than .20 seconds apart.

Ok, how are we going to choose the winner here?

FTD from a non-production based car (i.e. the UF Formula SAE car - 41.337)

52.615 (PLB MR2) - 41.337 (SAE) = 11.278 difference

 

OR

FTD from a production based car (2020 Porsche GT4 - 44.190)

52.615 (PLB MR2) - 44.190 (GT4) = 8.425 difference

 

What say ye all?

Use them both, have two winners, and split the donation between both of them.
