Heat |
Since not
all drivers can be on the track at the same time, a race is divided into
heats, where a number of driver directly competition on the track at the same
time. A heat typically involves for all drivers to drive at all the different
lanes for a certain amount of time. You can
say that a heat = NumberOfLanes * Stint. |
Stint |
The continues amount of time a driver uses in competition on a specific lane, is
called a stint. |
Round
Robin |
A method
of racing a heat, where there are more drivers than lanes. One or more driver
must therefore stand outside the current set of drivers. At stint change, the
driver otherwise scheduled to drive on lane-1 enters the pool of drivers
waiting, and the next in line to enter the active set of drivers are assigned
to drive on lane-1. This continues until all drivers have raced once on all
lanes. Then the heat is ended. |
