Lap Times
I'm not sure if we have this already somewhere, but I think it would be interesting to see laptimes the club is turning. Any track goes, hopefully there is enough of us to be able to compare.
Personally I'm finding the line between me holding the car back and the car holding me back really blurry lately, so that's why, want to see what folks are turning. Major lap-time-improving mods (tires!) are probably important to list, as well adverse weather. We can't all run all tracks, but hopefully we get at least 2 people from the same track as reference. I can go first and keep this list updated on the first post as people post up.

Ooh, competition, data, I love it.
2010 RX-8 sport. Decat/midpipe. Dyno'd at 183rwhp in 2013 at MCE racing, Thunderhill. 3086lbs including driver and some gas. Fatcat coilovers (revalved bilsteins) street/track setup. Track alignment. Direzza Z2 255/40/17 tires. Now 2 years old. Times measured with an AIM Solo DL.
I put the earlier Thunderhill times up so you can see my progression. I still have room to improve at all these tracks, although I feel like I got within a second or two of the limit last time out at Thunderhill. EDIT, I really wanted to just link to these videos, rather than take up all the space to embed them. |
