There is another post that asks if notes are fair. Here I would like to get a better understanding of the mecanics of the notes. I have the option of buying notes at OT but I do not know if I will or not mainly as I do not understand how they work.
How are the notes made? Does a human drive the stage and make a guess at the speed I can drive a corrner? What about the skill differance between me and say Mark Higgens? I would guess the note maker is not trying the stage at full rally speed so the expericace of the note maker must be very important to be able to judge if there is a crest etc worth noting.
Does the navagator basicaly read the notes all the time and thus not realy use the milage but to check they are still on? Even on Blind rallies with millage some times it can be hard to tell if that was the sweep left in the book or is that it right ahead. My navagators have all gotten lost in the book at least once a rally.
So are notes in the format of
L6 > R3 100 R6 K do not cut
Do I understand that as very fast Left into medium right then about 100 meters to a very fast right with some sort of issue worth a caution on the inside?
Are juctions still called like 90 Right or Acute Left and the numbers only stand for turns over 90 deg?
Thanks for the help, I want to try them sometime it would be an intresting experiance that I would like to have but I do need to understnad them better and decide when the time is right to give it a go.
