There is a decent 62.7 lap video in my xbox feed, if you want to look at the lines.

As for pole think 62.4 is possible.

Are these times achieved with a controller or wheel?
My best on Mugello Club is 64.547 with a TMX wheel.and mostly in the 65's.in the Veloster.

Maybe I should switch back to the Honda '07 lol!

Controller

I think it may be a little quicker than that, though I hope you're right. lol. I can hit a 2.6 on a good lap, and I have a hard time believing I went from mid-B lobby pace to front of the pack A-Lobby pace overnight.

by FMJam on Tue 17 Apr 2018 - 22:46

someone up for some practice laps on mugello?

by **EVR MeaD 212** on Tue 17 Apr 2018 - 22:52

62.590. Pretty hard to get the "perfect lap"

Well... must have been thinking of my Silverstone times. The 2.6 was fake news, I'm actually at 3.6, so you're actually probably pretty close on your expected pole time there.

2.4 in the Hyundai, still trying to break the 3 mark in the ford

by HCR HaydieT on Wed 18 Apr 2018 - 3:24

62.4 - Hyundai
62.6 - Focus
62.8 - Megane

Hyundai would go quicker if I spent more than 10 minutes building and running it. Hoping I can figure something out for this Megane

by FoxxyGamingHD on Wed 18 Apr 2018 - 12:04

oh boy... Mazda has absolutely Zero straight line speed so only being a second off ain't too bad I guess... 1.03.5

*edit* 1.03.2, but still off pace

by **F4H Diablo** on Wed 18 Apr 2018 - 13:57

The Megane is lukewarm to getting more time out of it. If the Focus can do a .6, well...

by **SorrySmithy** on Sat 21 Apr 2018 - 21:20

Maple so far

Focus 42.5
Civic 42.9
Hyundai 42.9
Megane 43.2

Just quick runs in tunes that were shared

by **Flyin Mikey J** on Sat 21 Apr 2018 - 23:49

^ Me: 43.0 in the Hyundai and Focus.

by HCR HaydieT on Mon 23 Apr 2018 - 2:10

Mini is probably doing 41s

by FMJam on Mon 23 Apr 2018 - 22:20

totally off pace unsure

some advices?

by HCR Dandy on Mon 23 Apr 2018 - 22:42

no idea running 43 in veloster

by FMJam on Mon 23 Apr 2018 - 23:20

0:43:5xx - 0:43:9xx with veloster.
shockingly slow. don't understand where I'm losing time.
if someone could share a clip of his fast lap it would be great.

I'm in exactly the same range with the Hyundai. I was happy to break out of the 44's this weekend to get into the mid to high 43's, but still way off.

I also would appreciate a replay of a fast lap to learn from.

by HCR HaydieT on Tue 24 Apr 2018 - 2:55

That's a 42.9 in the Hyundai. Hope it helps

by **DriftiNHero** on Tue 24 Apr 2018 - 7:27

Yh that did help me at least. Having seen the corner speed being carried through turn 1 it is pretty obvious where I need to change my tune.

Cheers

by **Flyin Mikey J** on Tue 24 Apr 2018 - 8:22

I managed a few 43.0's with Dandy's "Bubz5" tune Sunday, which made my car change selection tougher than I thought it would be. The potential is there if I can do it.

thank you HaydieT Smile

Thank you HaydieT - The speeds you're getting in 4th gear seem out of range for my tune, but I was able to shave off another tenth or more by seeing your line. Really appreciate the help.

I'm just using the stock gearbox and stock power so if it's different for you then that's kinda weird.

I have no idea whats being used in the tune I have loaded up as I just use what other people have made available. I just haven't been able to devote time to the whole tuning aspect. Although I could probably save time if I did do my own tunes, as I currently find myself fishing for the best tune every week. Then as I get more familiar with the track and my times get better, I find myself fishing again for a possibly better tune to accommodate my improvements.

Case and point - I just seen a new tune "bubz6" from HCR Dandy. So I'm going to try that one out this evening and see how I like it. I was using bubz5 previously so it's possibly similar.

Kudos and a big Thank You to HCR Dandy for putting quality tunes out there! I'd be totally lost without them.

*EDIT* - Just ran a 43.2 in the Veloster tonight and I'm very happy with that at this point. I'm not saying I'll be able to pull one that low in Qualifying Thursday but just knowing I can do it is gratifying. Thanks to everyone for the help.
