I went back to ICAR last week and I pulled off a 1:56.9 with a passenger. I felt like I could push a bit more and get a better time, but then again I didn't want to break something and ruin my day. I don't have a lap timer and I go there to have fun, so setting a hot lap wasn't a priority.
here's a video of that lap around the track. I was being chased by an S2000 which was a bit slower, but made me work hard to keep my lead. I'll be back there on October 8th if anyone here wants to join me |
Ahh! Finally! Locals!!
All results since my last post added to the thread start. @Cdnrx8, what clubs do you run with? @Lookalike: where do I sign up for Oct 8? I haven't run at all this year, would like to fit something in. I know I'm doing something wrong at ICAR, would be nice to work on it. @JakeKaminskisRacing: what's the story with that Starlet in your result sheet? 80's Starlet or the 90s hot hatch? |

Although I would wait a bit before registering. This year they haven't given any incentives to sign up early, and with the crappy weather we had all summer, I will wait 2 days before the event to make sure it doesn't rain. Actually you can even register the morning of the event now that I think about it. Do you remember which corner gives you more trouble than other? Would it be by any chances... the infamous carousel? :P https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...57561ee382.jpg |
Oh and I just saw the added time you put for me, thanks! but my RX8 isn't really stock, lol.
I have RS3, DTC 60, Bilstein PSS, Hotchkis Sway bars, Koyo S2 rad, AutoEXE Catback I also have a few other non performance enhancing mods: FAL 420 fans (to fit the S2 rad), BHR coils, S2 fuel pump, RX8performance AST, SOHN, Battery in Trunk, DEFI gauges. |

Jake, What are you running for your line? You must be running a great line to turn 1:53 on a stock RX8 at Gingerman.
I average 1:53/1:54 on NT01s, Ohlin coilovers, and Hawk StreetRace pads; ...and I carried passengers all weekend. Personal best is 1:50, but not consistently (traffic during HPDEs plays a factor, lol). I should be able to dip into the 1:4x territory but you must be killing the line! Sorry for the late reply bud, should have hit me up with a PM. I have plenty of experience on Gingerman so the line is pretty dialed in for me. Just adjusting to the limits of the RX8 in factory trim on "ok" tires. I am losing a bunch of time due to the factory alignment and lack of negative camber. The Riken Raptor tires are definitely not a fan of sustained heavy G loads, primarily in off camber corners. Soon as the front sets, it washes out due to the poor contact patch design. I knew the tires I bought were cheap and not the greatest but for the price they're f*cking awesome! My setup is about as basic as it can get. 2004 RX-8 GT BHR Coil Packs 245/40/18 Riken Raptor Hawk HPS Pads Motul RBF 600 |

Hey Loki I haven't done any serious track work for a while but at the time I ran with the Quebec BMW club and affiliates. At Shannonville I have a friend who organizes something once a year. Always had a good time. Guys are they still doing lapping on mondays at St Eustache and I bleieve they were doing Tuesday night at Icar. If I can get my solenoid valves fixed I'll have to consider joining you guys on October 8. at Icar.

Great driving. Looks like you're using all the grip of those hoosiers :-)
My mouth is hanging open watching the speeds at VIR. ... and over 1g braking. Obviously changing to real rear brake pads made a nice contribution too. |

Just got back from Mid-Ohio, ran on club configuration with the chicane. Personal best was 1:55:20 in novice group. Could have done 1:53 if there was no traffic.

Maybe I should just buy some OEM ignition coils and wires and see if that does anything? My last couple of dynoes have been weak on the top end (>7500 rpm)... |
