Brilliant.
Crazy how much extra aero stuff the guy getting snuffed was running.
Didn't seem to helm him much though, taken down like it was nothing anyway.
@Turbo_t11 Cool stuff
Best Lap: Lap 2
Lap Time : 01:58:222
- In F1, generally speaking the lap times become faster as the race goes on because of lighter fuel load. Does it not apply here? Or was being stuck in traffic of the times the reason why lap time did not improve after lap 2.
- What is the lap time you are targeting with this car? Just to get a feeling about how fast it could be done on this tract with these cars.
Hey Turbo,
Thanks for explanations. I was asking more out of curiosity as my understanding of cars and racing is really limited (just watching F1 sporadically).
Good luck for future races & dont forget to post pics and videos.
No worries....., and it dawned on me after I hit send that I never answered one of the questions.
My son has been around this track in one of our other cars @ 1.58.9x best but this was in a similar car (944) but at 300lbs lighter class format and 80 less horsepower.
The track has lost 2.0 sec in potential due to bumps and surface age over the last couple years but all things being equal, if we could have gone back in time with this more powerful car, 1.56.xx would be a realistic expectation. It has 2.0 seconds per lap in the bag just on raw power. The other car handles better.
We are taking the less powerful car to Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham Alabama in 6 weeks to compete one class down SP2.
Very nice track/facility with giant (10-12 feet high) metallic sculptures of spiders etc. placed all around the track and grounds.

Good luck with the race. Push push push ...
For a moment I thought BoA2 is happening
