Some real life lap times nurb, our grip must be pretty high to be able to match a 500hp car's time.

times are always quicker than what would be achievable in real lfe

I can't remember who, but I was told once that comfort hard tyres are actually the most real to life

 

[ABP]

Yeah I know that but it still is impressive how fast this league actually is. Good job on speccing the cars.

 

[alex salmon]

was that with the setup ninja sent you?

btw @SmokdSliks did you get the tune I found for you?

yeah mate do you want it?

 

[True-blue-8]

yeah mate do you want it?

yeah please mate i'll give it a shot, you seem to have found loads of time with it 👍

From the looks of the times posted in that link, those cars were actually just the road cars as they would be with their given tyres, which are normally the equivalent to sports hards. Also, they probably drive them bare bones stock, whereas we're using Sports Softs, tuned racing machines (yes on a game but still...) with transmission top speed reduced to suit the top speeds we can achieve on the longest straight.

@DirtyNurbKing58 did you get my PM?

Roxy Music bit before my time.

Roxy Music bit before my time.

I know that mate lol, but the music was still respected during that time. As I said in PM, i'd knew you'd at least know who he is

Also, Pink Floyd's new album has passed One Direction in pre-order sales. WOOOOOOOOO!

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Floyd and No Direction in the same sentence?? Off to get comfortably numb.

A good sentence though

Sorry guys off topic, just loving se the old musicians making a comeback, and winning Status Quo in Cardiff next month, need to save up

Must be 1:38's then lol, because that's what I was getting (after many laps and many sets of tyres lol)

Fastest laps I've seen are 38's, mikey and I have both done 1 (I can't stress the 1 enough) which if memory serves was a 38.7 and 38.9 respectively.

Not sure on the legality of mine since I'm low 39's normally...

 

[yuc2002]

Just did some practice today, basic tuning and upgrades on the gt86. Times are coming down, I think 37's will be possible with a bit more practice.

One thing though, is that the gt86 seems to be quite on the edge on SS tyres (lack of power means no chance to correct drifts), so am a bit worried that there will be quite a few race-ending wrecks this season, especially looking back at the driving last round. I wonder if we've been a bit too bold with the number of FR's available...

37's? Right, can someone get his car on the weighbridge please...

Nurb is really a circuit for the FR's with better handling than FF's, because sector 1 and sector 2 the FF's lose out too much to bring back an advantage on the straights of sector 3, unless you nail every corner

I'm now doing 39.4's-39.5's in the Renault but I need more setup work and practice

Plus, my start button broke...

 

[True-blue-8]

don't lie in ninja, I've seem you hit 37's lol I think 38.2 or something I hit on a poor lap with slip, so 37's are definite

 

[Storm_SP17]

Someone is aiming to hit 1:37s at GP/D? I'll have to try this when I get some free time. Pretty busy though today, hopefully an evening with the better half watching fireworks.

Edit- should I aim for high 36's? Hmmmm.....

I expect we all will lol. Yeah no worries mate, you've got the next 2 weeks to try
I'm going to attempt a Tom Clarkson here, the cut off point?...... If we see 37's then 38.9 if not hen 39.2

 

[Storm_SP17]

Are we talking top 10 or top 5? The cut off point for the top 5 might be 38.3's...

[True-blue-8]

Room for another one?

Hi smelly welcome mate, glad you finally got it sorted, of course there is 👍

 

[alex salmon]

a little thing to help people in pre Q tonight but just remember you can go right too

 

[True-blue-8]

haha nice one 👍

just a note, in the races, feel free to use whatever car you want, but when Pre-Q TT starts, you'll need to use your chosen car. If you wish to change, before or after, just let me know 👍

No idea on numbers tonight. If we have over 13 then it will get interesting
