[Eric Demory]

My apologies for my late response. No reasoning.

[amkobih]

[BH-21]

Aye, that was a close one. Congrats Smallhorses!

Alright then, I suppose I have to supply something for you lot to guess at.

[tricd04]

[SVX]

1'50.000?

 

[Smallhorses]

Is there a standard amount of time I'm supposed to wait for, or a particular number of guess that need to arrive before I reveal the result?
I suppose I should wait another couple of days for stragglers to get their guesses in, right?

It would seem reasonable to wait for a certain amount of guesses before giving the results. I have noticed people giving the results after about eight or so guesses have been posted. So far, there has currently been seven entries. So, you should wait for at least one or two extra guesses before revealing your time.

 

[C0rd0syl]

I'll be the last,now post up the time!

Well, it seems all of you, bar one, have grossly overestimated the speed of a stock Aston Martin V8 Vantage and / or my driving capabilities, or you've seriously underestimated the length of Twin Ring Motegi - Road Course.
e.g. C0rd0syl's guess would require an average speed of 108mph!
Even with 500+HP, the 2-tonne Aston on Sports Medium tyres isn't going to get close to that, not with so many sharp, tricky turns.

Sooooo, for this challenge,

Aston Martin V8 Vantage '99
Twin Ring Motegi - Road Course - GT Mode

The winner is BH-21 whose guess of 2'06.500 was closest to my actual laptime of:

2'04.403 (An average speed of 86.24mph)

Your call BH-21! 👍

 

[BH-21]

Doh! How did that happen? I'm going to have to just guess completely off base next time.

I will find something in the next few hours.
