We did alot of sensor placement meassurements in Sinsheim for Pandas, and we found a easy and fair way to place the sensors in pandas.

The main reason for doing this is that every sensor placement will be were consist.

First we did a "normal placement" for pandas:

 -

Then we need to "slide" the micjig up, because of the dash. This panda is with the "big" dash, and we are going to rule every panda (and look alikes) after this type of dash.

 -

Here you can se that we found some "reference points"

 -

Then we moved the jig to the outside of the window...

 -

Then we found this point on the left side when looking at the front (NOT UK cars)...

 -

From the outside you will have the sensor spot like this:

 -

Here you can se that there is clareance from the dash and up.

 -

PLEASE NOTE:
THIS IS NOT A NEW WAY TO USE THE MIC JIG, ITS JUST A CLEARIFICATION ON HOW TO USE THE MIC JIG IN A PANDA OR SIMILAR CAR.

This is the right way to place the sensor in a panda, and shall be used at all dB Drag Racing events from now:

Thats incorrect. The mic jig should be level with the bottom of the window rubber not top.

The pic above does show this.

When a judge do it wrong then you talk to him about that. Most of the times yhe judge agree with you when he now youre are right. Judges have more things on there heads.

Why would it be the same in a Yugo as in a Panda,they are 2 totaly differant cars [Confused] And the Yugo does have a "regular" dash, so I don't see the problem.
