I've done some time ratings for each of the days but mine are based on different standards so may not be of any use.

I've actually done two sets: one using my own (ie the original) standards and another using the current standards. I sometimes do that kind of thing out of curiosity.

The other thing that isn't clear from the form book is whether the increases in distances covered arising from the re-positioning of rails on bends is accounted for in stating how the race time compares with standard. I make an arithmetical adjustment to the standard times to allow for the extra distance. It won't be 100% accurate but it will be a lot more accurate than not making any adjustment.

What I did notice is that the current straight mile standard is now - it wasn't always - exactly what it is on the standards I use.
