Willow Springs Big Willow in under a minute. Possible?

[Ki_Reddy]

Hey guys,
I would like to discuss today about Willow Springs - Is it possible to get bellow 60 seconds without an F1 car/Red Bull X? I got pretty close in my R92CP, got to about 1:03:53. Anyone broke 60 seconds without F1/Red Bull X? If so, with what car?

Discuss,

Umm, if an LMP got 1:03, I'm pretty sure an F1 car, and DEFINITELY and X1 car, could beat 1:00...

 

[NW48]

He did say without an F1 car or an X1.

I'm guessing the words "without", "F1" and "Red Bull" in the OP were lost on you?

 

[Aphelion]

OHHHH!!!!! My bad!!! i read with, not without!

 

[NW48]

I have to say I quite like this idea, you should consider incoporating a leaderboard or something like that in the OP!

It's a group C Theres a big difference.

I'd be up to try this. I think I could, just barely though. Are we limited to RH?

 

[NW48]

I'm gonna give it a go in my Light Car Company Rocket '07, should come fairly close.

No. No tire restrictions.

 

[Ki_Reddy]

P.S - Stats of my R92CP - 1010 BHP, 700 PP, RH Tires.

 

[Bo]

Yes.

 

[Ki_Reddy]

Yes.

Nice. Whats the stats of the 88CV?

951hp/850kg/97kgfm/700PP. I can definitely pull more time out with another car. A '58 is possible.

Nicely done. I'm a bit of a noob in driving so it's a bit hard for me xD

 

[Monatsende]

Time for...

 

[NW48]

@Ki_Reddy, you should consider putting in a leaderboard in the OP or a least of cars that can achieve a lap time under 1min. Just a thought.

 

[FoRiZon]

Yes.

On the other hand, nice challenge @Ki_Reddy

 

[CeeJay]

Warming up the tires on my Daihatsu Midget! Nice driving hsv!

 

[Bo]

Thanks guys! Managed to fluff one lap up and ended up flying... I mean Group C cars are known to take off, but...

No Group C car ever took off of it's own accord. The ones that did were LMGTP (Mercedes CLR), LM GT1 (Porsche 911 GT1) & an LMP (BMW V12 LMR.)

He is probably thinking of the mechanical-failiure induced ones (Nissans at Fuji and someone at Le Mans, was last fatal accident before Simonsens... Roger Dorchy, Porsche, something like that? Or was that the WR at Qualifying in the late 90's?... anyway sorry for off topic..).

R91CP had a bit of a moment:

And several other ones. Mostly failures of some kind.

EDIT - @Furinkazen tree'd.

I thought for sure one of the Saubers had a huge take off at La Sarthe... yep found pictures

Also I think a Porsche 962 had a blowover at Daytona in the late 80's.

 

[sosa]

Just tried the Nissan R92CP '92 ,1027hp, 900kg, 701pp... 00:59:926

Knowing my skills I guess the aliens can get those things under the 55" mark..

Edit: added a picture

 

[JMoney]

I bet I can make it under a minute in my Chaparral... time coming soon.

 

[Bo]

I'm gonna have fun tomorrow.

 

[NixxxoN]

I did a 0:57.2 with the Toyota 7.

 

[JMoney]

Nope, the Chap did it in 1:05.9.

I'm sure it's possible in an FGT or Lotus 97T.

Getting under a minute on this track with different cars is not a big deal and is pretty easy with more than a few cars. I've done it several times while tuning and testing at this track. I'll take and re-run some laps here and post my times later.
