Natural time, best, target

[raceur]

Just wondering what people's times are.

For this thread a 'natural time' is the time you'd get to after say 20-30 laps, the point at which your times aren't coming down without some effort, where you've learned the track and the car reasonably well -- and important, you could be sure you'd match that time given any 10-lap session.

The 'best time' is the time you've got to now, presumably one where you've practiced, watched replays, spun off a lot, cursed even more and generally put effort in. The point at which improvements are less than a tenth, and you couldn't guarantee that in 10 laps you'd match that time to within a tenth.

The 'target time is the one you hope to attain, the limit of the combination of your talent and patience.

Mine are:

Natural 1.50.500
Best 1.49.895
Target 1.48.999

In the normal car...

Natural 1'48.4xx
Best 1'48.237
Target 1'48.0xx

 

[JetStar]

For the stock car:

Natural: 1'48.9
Best: 1'48.662
Target: 1'48.3

Haven't tried the tuned yet but hoping for a 3:24.5 overall time

Times in the normal car vary wildly for me, but as a guess I'd say...

Natural 1:48.6XX
Best 1:48.292
Target 1:47.XXX

It'll take divine intervention to hit 1.47's but you got to try at least.

Tuned:-
Natural 1:36.4XX
Best 1:36.204
Target 1:35.XXX

In the tuned car I can lap consistently within a tenth or so, but to get that extra little bit it's a struggle, so my average and best times are quite close together. I'm optimistic about my target though, I can feel that there is more there.

Surprised me a lot that I feel more at home in the tuned car as I usually prefer low grip racing and tt's. *shrug*

Natural-around 1'48.3xx
Best-1'48.075

Takes some practice to get in the low 1.48s because im on the edge for every corner, one small mistake and the laps ruined.... although on my 1'48.075 i lost 0.15 in T1 but had a almost perfect finish to the lap.

Target-low 1'47.9xx

 

[Glubags]

For the normal car,

Natural: 1'48.8xx
Best: 1'48.566
Target: 1'48.2xx

Not sure at all about the tuned car yet as I haven't put significant time into it.

Oh, and happy new year, guys!

Best: 1'35.616
Target: 1'35.3xx (maybe optimist)

Normal

natural: around 1'51.2-3
best: 1'48.760
target: 1'48'2-3

I have driven only 2.5 hours with the normal car so far so I hope I will reach my target.

The tuned car is killing my. I can't find the bracking point. I have driven only 1.5 hours with this after it made me crazy.

You still think you have 0.5 left overall....?

You still think you have 0.5 left overall....?

Absolutely, they are within my capability. Whether I get them or not is a different matter. My 1'35.976 in the tuned was off a T2 of 48.112 and if you watch my replay I utterly ruined turn 9 and 11. Sod's law, I ran them fine for the rest of the session and always made time on my best lap through that section.

In the normal I ran that 1'47.991 off a T2 of 54.630, I'd been hitting .49x last time I ran.

I started doing a lot better with a positive outlook and having broken the 48 and 36 mental barrier.

Like I said, what I'm capable of and what i actually manage to execute are two different things, so no need to worry

All the best

Normal :
Natural : 1’49.8xx
Best : 1’49.569
Target : 1’49.3xx

Tuned :
Natural : 1'37.5xx
Best : 1’37.202
Target : 1’36.9xx

I think I will put my final efforts these last days in the tuned car. It’s way more fun then the normal car.., especially with a pad.

While that's something of an oxymoron I know exactly what you mean!!!
