Which lanes are the best in Singapore River Regatta? here are some statistics

[hard10]

Here are the statistics from Sat's heats. We can see that Lane 4 is the best performing with the most no. of teams coming in 1st and 2nd. Those who kena lane 1 and 2 are the most suay.. with heavy water near the banks of the river, they can hardly qualify for the next round. most end up coming in 4th or 5th position.

54321, 54321, 54321, 54321.

Best timing is suppose to be placed into Lane 3.


Welcome to  River Express-lane Regatta, it's not about how good your team is? it about which lane you are in.

Welcome to  River Express-lane Regatta, it's not about how good your team is? it about which lane you are in.

actually this is based on heats on sat... so it could have been anyone's race. but let's wait when the official results are out for the semis and finals and if lane 5 and 4 still have a higher probability of winning then yes, its abt the lane. like you said, lane 3 is supposed to be the lane with best timing! but of coz if the team is of a certain standard like team vuvuzela, placing them in any lane against not so strong teams will not make much of a difference at all.

how about lane 5?

they are also near to banks + will kanna cruise boat in/out

lane 4 & 5 are said to be the better lanes because the water there is deeper hence lighter as compared to lanes 1 and 2. if you are in lane lane 1 and 2, you can see how close you are to the steps and how shallow the water is over there. shallow water are much heavier to paddle. no doubt there are bump boats cruising in and out, but during the race, these boats do not move and stayed stationary. hence no disturbances to the water affecting the race.

and that Team Vuvuzela got the fastest timing over the weekend from lane 3.

i know every one been talking about how hard lane 1 is but really...any science to back it up? i still newbie so just curious...

please take no offence...

TOKARA - Hi, what Hard 10 here is talking about is hydrodynamic. So that is science. If you are interested what he is sharing, you can read on topics such as shearing on hydrodynamic.

However, if you are asking whether hard 10 is saying for SRR is proven. Then it is not as it is his hypothesis based on the principles without actual testing.

Hope this answered your question.

Tokara: like what ok_doggie is saying, it is not proven... those are just statistics to show that the probability of lane 4 and 5 coming in 1st and 2nd in the races are much higher than those of lane 1 and 2. and this probability would have been attributed by the hydrodynamics as mentioned by ok_doggie

let's not bother so much abt heat,  team are randomly selected and pick into each lane.

However, for semi onward, teams are place base on their timing in the Heat or Semi onward.
Best timing in Lane 3, 4, 2, 5 and 1.

Go study the race for SBDF and SRR, for most of the Sunday event, how many times will you get a  54321 finish??
Please do not mix this with those no heat, just 1 event Final  ( Public Service- Active Agers , PA CDC, PA grassroot Council, PA inter division, PA corp member, )

Well, if you lazy to figure it out. next year SRR, just place yr money on lane 5 and 4.  Let whoever want to bet with you take Lane 3, 2 and 1.

1 or 2 or maybe 3 real good team will come in as Champion in Lane 3. 

Also, the most DQ for finish in " Wrong Lane " will be lane 1 or 2.  This had been the same case for the last SRR.


This year, the biggest crap was Event 57, 57 A.
* SMU was impeded on the finish line in Event 25: NC-Mixed SF2. Based on technical and video evidence, Race Jury agreed that SMU was in contention for 1st placed when the impediment happened. SMU was therefore allowed to proceed to NC-Mixed Grand Finals. This time run is for contention of honours in the Grand Finals as a 6-boat race is judged too unsafe to be carried out.Concurrence was also sought from the other teams in the NC-Mixed Grand Finals.


Then a fast U-turn, for Event 60.
This Event is an outright 6-Lane event as requested by the organizers of the PA category. Permission to go ahead was sought after all the Event Safety Plan requirements have been met. Teams were informed on the Risk.


Event 57 was National Championship Mixed where the team involved in this Grand final trained at least at least 4-6 hour per weeks and most have a very experience steerman.

Event 60, the team involved trained most is 4-6 hour per month, everyone seen them @ Kallang??

Why was not Event Safety Plan requirements have been met in event 57 to slot in Lane 6??
why was Event Safety Plan requirements have been met in event 60??

Well, crying help.

SRR is just a fun race to raise fund.

"I was taking the MRT back, I saw some uncle so happy talking about winning the Gold in those - PA races."

suckz to the max.
