           RARS Bi-weekly Race Report
           & News About Upcoming Races
               April 28, 1996

RARS is the Robot Auto Racing Simulation, a competition for
programmers and an on-going challenge for practicioners of Artificial
Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control.  It consists of
a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track, a graphic
display of the race, and a separate control program (robot "driver")
for each car.  All RARS software and activities are free and open to
the public.  It runs on DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Linux, and several
other platforms.  For more information e-mail to mindw...@cftnet.com or

Please!  Any people who want to submit for the first time please
give yourselves more than a day or two (I made that mistake when
I started).  Submissions are to be SOURCE CODE only (unless in
the unlikely event you use Borland C++ for OS/2).

(1)  Henning, I couldn't get your wacky bot to work.  And it hurt
my brain to look at it.  So therefore I didn't try to debug it.

         Midget car racing event!  All source codes must be shorter than
         450 cc's.  (cubic characters).  Your car name (and function
         name) must be at least 2 characters long (perhaps your
         initials?). Sorry *nix peoples, a CR will be counted as a CRLF.
         Besides, whats one character between friends.  Please submit a
         seperate letter or file with comments on your submission.  For
         this race, all drivers will be OPEN SOURCE CODE.
June 9th, R.A. and Adelaid2 Unlimited Division Races, 80 laps

TENTATIVE RACING SCHEDULE (all races track surface 1)
June 16th, R.A. and Adelaid2 Stocker Division Races, 40 laps
           Alternate: Montreal
           One of the top two races will be 'rained out' and will be
           replaced by Montreal (which is being run that day).  I will
           flip a coin that day to figure out which race is to be
           'rained out'.

Note that there is only a 1 week span between these two races, this is
to put us in line with the F1 schedule. In the same manner, each
division may be rained out once each day. I have located the F1 schedule
for 96 and will stick in those races as the alternate.  Here is the
schedule I have found.

June 30 France magny cours
Jul 14 silverstone  (will be uploaded)
Jul 28 hockenhiem germany  (we don't have it)
aug 11 hungaroring       hungary  (we don't have it)
aug25 belgium spa-frachochamps  (we don't have it)

Comments from Ralph

With this race we say goodbye to Fiorano and hello to Road America.
This looks like a much easier course.  I know my bot didn't do well
on Fiorano.

Henning submitted a very short and supposedly very fast bot.
For some reason it caused my computer to crash.  It looks as though
he is trying a new technique for midget racing (the bot was 1400 cc's).

Vector is jussi's experimental prototype.

I am looking forward to the midget races, I hope you are too.

There was a discussion of varying fuel usage in proportion to
computing time.  Here are some typical times for cars to traverse
Road America 7 times alone on my P133.

         MPH      seconds
Lisa     93.63      78
Ralph    96.91      24
Vector   97.18      20
Sarah    90.32      22
Burns    91.31      20
Herbie   88.67      22
Ferdrari 86.48      21

Good luck and see you in two weeks.
