NAFFCar Lap Times

That is Bulin, I don't think he is all human... sort of like the Stig.  

I'm happy enough to (finally) hit 1:49.3   

I was only able to hit a 1:47.019 but the tune could use work. Oh I'm using the Celica by the way.

47.7 with about 5 tenths to come

I thought I was doing well when I finally got a 49.4. I'll be spending the rest of the day trying to find another 2 seconds.  

Paul what car you in?

The '94 Civic. I think there's a mid-high 48 in the build, I just need to string a decent lap together.

I'm almost sorry to do this:

Sunset 46.8
Maple 45.8

Crappy Honda crx with stupid boy racer front and rear spoiler non aero.
Hate the car but it's quick.

46.8 what the hell..... I'm only at 49.1 that, there's definitely going to be a small group break away at the front.

What speed are you hitting on the straight and banked curve?

I'll test that CR-X after work today. I was hitting 135 in the Celica so I assume the CR-X is a bit faster considering it's lighter.

I'm hitting 130 exactly in the mk2 golf, but a decent run off last corner and perfect shifts maybe 132 as keep cocking up exit on last corner!

think i need a play with gears or something then im only getting 128 i think. if some are getting 135 + that will soon stack up on to a fair distance   

135 before braking.
Tubbi tip tip: put the biggest/tallest rims on (not necessarily the widest), pick aero bits for top speed and keep the car as light as possible so as to put more power in on the build.
Good luck gentlemen.

why biggest wheels? whats the gain?

The taller wheels give less friction, plus take a car ten pounds light up to minimum weight. I wish I had thought of that sooner.

Finally in the low-mid 49s

I've also noticed that race transmissions benefit most of these cars. The adjustable gears keep it on higher average power per PI than any power upgrades can, especially considering how much PI power upgrades consume on such light cars.

1:46.4 in the CR-X with splits for a .2

There's some odd numbers in that tune Bulin... but I don't question your speed.

Sebring: 1:27.5xx on what I think I'd call a lucky fluke lap, even if I almost matched it a time or two.

1.26.8 consistently at Sebring. More to come as car feels horrible through frist and last corner!

1:25.856 in a Del Sol

That is where I spend most of my time tuning for here, in any car. In general, the TEC GTEs somehow feel even worse in the first and last corners of Sebring than these cars do.
