TORA Britcar 24 Hours of Silverstone - Lap times

Cheers guys I was using a vw scirocco and could only get a 2.15 the other cars I got within the rules were slower and didn't feel as stable but that can be solved with tuning. Will have another crack later and see if I can find any more time. I think I may just need to run laps as I have only just started using a fanatec and have been playing around with the settings and getting used to having a sprung loaded brake cell

1:56.001 in the #33 Jag... Still need some tuning and work to be done I'm not expecting to be as fast as others in TGT but itll be a great learning experience seeing this is my first major TORA event.

Quick tip, for Silverstone you'll need something with good straight line speed to do well in the Clubman class i reckon.

I'm finding the opposite actually. All the cars I've driven in clubman that have gone under 2:10.xxx had at least a 5.6 handling rating and a 5.0 speed rating. I hit just about 130mph on the hangar straight. The one car I drove that hit 140mph had a lap time of 2:12.xxx so you need a good handling car for this track. Based on my findings so far I suggest this is a full downforce track despite having a few long straights. For all the cars in all the classes

V12 Vantage... got a 1:59 clean but so close to target of 1:58s.

BMW M3 GT2 1:54.1xx

Audi R8 LMS 1.53.2XX
LAMBO 1.52.3XX
BMW M3 GT2 1.52.5XX
BMW Z4 GT3 1.53.1XX

TBC..........

Good job mate.

my best in the #35 Black Falcon Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 is 1:54:789

Getting quicker ducked into the 2:14's tonight for the first time, I dont think I have followed the best upgrade plan though as still only getting 120-123mph down hanger straight

Alfa Romeo Spider - 2.09.4

got the #33 Jag XKR GT down to 1.55.261 still thinking with some minor tweaks i can hit 1:54 im hoping

alost cracked 2 minute barrier in the Vantage!! 2:00.107 SO CLOSE i just can't every corner and gear change spot on, if i did i could probibably get 1:59s

With determination Brad, I'm sure you'll get there. Good job mate.

thanks

1:54:3xx

Iv not got a team but i just built a Aston Vantage...only a very quick tune on it and iv just put in with a quick 3 lapper with the 15% power handicap and just done a 1:58.567......i dunno if thats quick or not ??

Are all the teams that have entered clubman class running laps in the 2:09 region?

Class: Clubman
Car: Toyota MR-S
Time: 2:08.399

SLS AMG GT3 - 1:53.937

With a very crude tune on it I got the E92 M3 you will be running with hailfire and Bruno down to 58.8's. I'm certain the car can go q bit faster and I'm not the fastest person in here.

1:59.953
Production GT
Aston Martin Vantage

Could knock a little more time off. 1:58's are a long shot.

Yeah i have driven that car with the tune on it and i can only get 58:8, at push as well........i will make my own tune to see if thats any quicker but i just dont think the BMW is the quickest........that Aston is a class leader and i think will be the car to beat, even with the power handicap !!

Then it should have an extra 5% power restriction. Cars shouldn't be that much faster compared to te field in a TORA event.

shouldn't you have more people test the car and the build in question before handicapping the car? I mean at Le Mans the car that got heavily penalized in HP also took out teams that were running the same car that WERE NOT AS FAST. I am against the quick use of penalties, if a bunch of skilled drivers are fast in the car it is a good chance that the car isn't the problem it's the skill of the driver and the driver/tuner that tuned the car.

don't penalize until there is more evidence that the car is over powered.

My team was one of the ones that got screwed by that. Hence, I want heads a'rolling.
