The RTP Index is based on a 40 second course. 40 Seconds is more
a "real world" number as most clubs do not get sites BIG enough
to run 60 second courses.

>60 seconds x .814 = 48.840 indexed time

40 X .814 = 32.56
40 X .774 = 30.96
Then 32.56-30.96 = 1.6

>  How did you come up with the 1.6 seconds? 

The 1.6 second time is actually based on some fact. A fellow
NX2000 driver on "Street Tires" was around 1.6 seconds slower
then me on "R" rubber. When driving my car with my "R" tires his
times were about the same as mine.
