86275th in the world (And from what I can tell, dead last)
Toyota Sera 1992
39m59.044

next fastest is a German driver with 32m25.609 - but he used ABS=1 - that will account for me dropping over 7 minutes to him under braking I guess.

Braking? Is that the secret stop and start and hope you don't void?
 
I only did one lap, only got a black flag afterwards when I doubled back after my lap to look what was stuck on the tyre wall on the right after the final right hander.
Some people think the brakes are just for slowing a car down
 
I originally approached the setup of the car completely wrong. I bolted on a high RPM turbo and added ballast for a close to 50/50 weight balance, only thinking about inducing rotation by making the rear heavier. That was a big mistake because the added weight and power combined with low grip tires on a twisty track made limiting wheelspin and maintaining traction a challenge.

By reducing weight and power I was no longer struggling with traction and could attack the track. Currently in 235th place.

 
Well, did a few runs Sunday night for a 2:18.364 so just barley under your time. May try a few more runs at it, took 3 days away to gain .200 or so. Maybe another .200-.300 if I am super clean in the last section.

Adjusted BB from 5/4 to 4/7 which helped me a bit in the medium speed corners. Got a 2:18.109. May play with the sway bar settings have been running 4/6 and 4/7 for most of the event. Need to clean up the entry into the last left/left sweeper onto the straight of the start finish line.

I really want to get into the 2:17.700's now. Maybe if I'm lucky.

Never thought I would enjoy a FF time trial so much.

Thank you sir. Went from the high 1:21's into the mid 1:20's. Light years behind your time but in the top 600 at least.

1st slowest in the world.

Wonder if I can get that McHonda job...
