Re: Lap times

I'm still unsure what class I want to run in, as I can run fast times in GT3 aswell.

GT3 - 7.24.odds in a few cars

I think the Gp track will be my let down in qually Sad

You can win the race outright in any lobby mate, they're taking total finish time and not lobby a order then lobby b order etc. etc.

Totally Agree

Same! Got me 5th in last seasons TCC, Got me my TRC title with the same approach and i lost the TFD title by making the car too marginal and too on edge! Build a car you can drive and then let your driving do the work Very Happy

I agree as well. Just got to somehow try and apply this to myself.

But the problem is that when you win a race or a championship, you see racing in a totally different way. Some of us take it seriously as a result. And if something happens to them, we end up screaming and pulling our hair out.

But I have got to try and take a more relaxed approach to racing. I think if we all chill, then the racing can be very exciting and makes us want to race more with TORA. And if we have an incident, then we've just to try and laugh at our mistakes or just simple apologise and then leave it at that. Not all of us are brilliant and we can't set blisteringly quick laps but we can encourage one another as well.
Thats why I think the restrictions to make the races closer in the LMS is a brilliant idea.

7:15 - Lotus
Im running really conservative race laps at the moment so im not really pushing

by CQR Champion Tue 30 Nov 2010 - 19:36

6:54.321 Clean - Limted on

by CQR Champion Tue 30 Nov 2010 - 23:35

anyone up for some practice?

by Slider S15 Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 22:30

What kinda speeds are people gettin in a straight line?

by XTI Jon Snow Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 22:33

My lotus can do about 191. I got down to the 2:10 at best

by CQR Champion Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:00

i am hitting 195 not much downforce tbh

by Slider S15 Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:03

Not looking good for me... Only hitting 182 in the Jag :'(

by CQR Champion Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:13

i can send you my jag tune?

by Slider S15 Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:33

No thanks ive only just started on my Jag, i can get my times down more handeling wise, was just woundering about the Speeds as i know the Jag was slower than everything in a straight line at LMS aswell.

by CQR Champion Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:47

it is more about the speed the evora isn't good in the corners but trumps along in a stragiht line!

by Slider S15 Wed 1 Dec 2010 - 23:57

To be honest im not sre how much more speed i can get out of it. the wings are as low downforce as i can make them and its not hitting the limiter but its right up on the redline so i cant see where i can find more.

by CQR Champion Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 0:02

i had standard gears and a fair bit of downforce not alot but good amount

by Slider S15 Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 0:04

in the Jag or Lotus?

by Slider S15 Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 0:29

Well im currently running 7:16.xxx as my best. Not sure what to do about the Top speed issue though as i think thats whats costing me if im giving 10-15mph to other cars Sad

by **LMR DarthMario** Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 1:05

im near the same pace as you Slider. i've hit a 7:14.5 in the Ford GTmk7 (posted back on page 1) with a good possibility to hit a 13

by XTI Jon Snow Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 2:03

I hit 191 in the lotus, but im also running almost full downforce

Let me send you mine if you like, see if it helps?

by **Richy59** Thu 2 Dec 2010 - 9:34

It's alright Slider, I'm running 7:15s in the Lotus. The major problem with the Jag is it has a Grip Handicap on it, even although its the slowest on the straights and that is where you can make up most fo your time on this track. The other GT2 cars aren't that far off, the Lotus is quick but it doesn't have the same handling as the other GT2 cars.
