MSA TORA NATCC Season 3 - Lap Times

Post your times here

1:20.7 BMW Catalunya

1:01.2xx in the Type-R at 'GreyRock' National

1:02.297 - Vauxhall Insignia - Silverstone National

Silver stone
1:02.9xx Velostar
1:02.537 Seat from club garage Meado car.

I think we can get our Integra into the low 1:02 range, but I feel like the sharp end of the field is probably going to be sub 1:01 at Silverstone. My boggle seems to be doing that first turn consistently each time. As I recall, last season the first lap was a bit of a schlamozzle there when the person out front braked really hard in turn 1 on the reverse race, and we had some pretty awful lag smashes.

BMW 1M
Silverstone
1.02.043 clean

1:00.7xx in race trim. Few tenths faster for qually

The XPR guys are really bringing it on this Lexus

10 laps on national. after 2 laps I set a best time of 1:03.399 and held that time consistently. I need more tuning and more practice in the coming days

1:01.547 with the Vauxhall Insignia.


First time I've been driving a production-based car since I broke my hand in April, and had to sit out the end of the NATCC season. I'm back into it.

1:01.234 with BMW 1M.  I don't if the 1M is able to touch one flat on this track...

Use the stock gearbox and not the racebox and add bhp

also, what is your diff set at?

Fwd acc-100% / dec-10%

my diff is set the same way....should I also try out the stock gearbox?

I run something like 2 decel 80 accel on twisty bits, but to each their own... If you can sort the transmission out using the adjustable ratios (especially in hondas) to shift gears so that you never leave the v-tech range (and optimize the amount of shifts you make) that is the way to go. Other cars, not so much... especially if their transmission is quite good stock.
Have you tried raising your caster up to 7 and lowering your camber to like 3f and 7 rear? This way you can jack up the brake pressure and move the bias forward. Lemme take a look at the car in a few hours and I'll report back. S2m, you wanna get together and see if we can't sort out a tune for him to work from?

Getting 1:02's in the Civic for Tsukaba

Hoping to get within 1:00's by tomorrow

^ I hit the 1:00s with the Civic with the tune I sent, so I had to redo my Lexus and outdo the Civic time.

I`m on the BMW 1M... man, i don`t think this car will work well on tsukuba. but can't wait to race tonight!!!

I'm guessing that Pole will be somewhere in the low 59's.

Anyone testing at Mugello yet?

I think that its possible the whole field, from the fastest to slowest, may be in the 1:01. range.

Testing for sunset, got frustrated... Man I don't know how can you pull those times!!! Really, I'm desperate, I tried a similar setup in a Lexus and it was faster, but still 1.34 is crazy... I'm doing 1.38.7 and that was a good lap in the Lexus, my car (BMW 1M)... Pff I'm lucky if I can go below 1.39.2!
I swear to Vettel, I'm not that slow, I can win races in a radical against LB cars in R2 (and I'm not talking about Infineon) God, I'm sooooo frustrated right now!
Maybe it's the build, I don't know... But I pretty sure that the build and gearbox are my main problem.
Please, I need help, I really enjoy racing with you guys but if someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Thanks!
