when I first tested it I was getting mid-31 pretty reliably. 1:30 is probably as good as it gets. I do love how this car gets faster the more you wring its neck.

Just started practicing today and my fastest was a 1:30.4 but it's very hard for me to consistently be under 1:31. I did on one stint, getting around 1:30.6-.9 until around Lap 5.
The .20 rear toe makes the car much tighter than I want it and I can't seem to dial it out. Still, the car feels predictable and I like driving it. 👍

0. Practice Race @ Nürburgring GP/D - August 27th
Sprint: 10 Laps (22 ½ miles)
Main: 16 Laps (36 miles)
Track is Closed:
1472-6399-8880-6893-7231
Free practice warm up until 1:30
Qualifying session will run from 1:30 until 2
Sprint race will begin at 2 pm
A break of ~10 min after the conclusion of the sprint.
Drivers cannot do any lapping during this break, but feel free to relax, get some fluids, take a pee, or even tinker with your setup (just remember no testing).
The main will then take place with reversed order from the finish of the sprint.
Damage on the sprint will be Light, the main will run Heavy.. See how that works out.

Before I left, I did get a 1:26.9 at Laguna Seca. Not sure how that will hold up but thanks again, Watson, on the LSD setting. The car feels better exiting under throttle.

Thanks everyone who participated in the practice race yesterday.
I think it went quite well, and I've made my decision about damage.
Since the poll is pretty split 50/50 I'm going to do a compromise.
The way we ran the practice race was Light damage on the sprint race and Heavy on the main event. That will be standard for the season. Light damage in the sprint gives everyone an opportunity to get used to braking under draft conditions before the Heavy damage kicks in.
Results are up
I'll make the page prettier and put up some photos before the end of the week.
I'm going to be posting all results on my web site going forward. It's just easier since I can write php code that does all the point math for me.
I look forward to a good six weeks of racing with you all.

I'm a pretty casual guy engineering some fun for Saturdays, don't need hardcore commitment. When I say open registration, I mean people can register and race whenever their real life permits.
If we start filling rooms I'll switch to morning quali to grid the top 14.
For those who are able to commit to 5/6 races I will be keeping track of championship points.
With the two races back to back it can be just as much fun winning a weekend as a championship.

I was doing 1:27.0-4 with regular consistency.
My best lap was 1:26.8, Aliens bettered it to 1:26.7.
He was killing me at the corkscrew by ~0.3 so if you put his T3 with my T1,2,4 you'll get a possible floor of 1:26.5
I think low 26's is all the prancing pony has in it. But at least for me 26's are pretty magical when they happen. It's not something that can be done easily, consistently, or on worn tires.
I'm going to post my car in the OP (when I get out of work) as a base tune, since the one I put together this week at Laguna Seca is a pretty good neutral starting point.
