USGT Championship - Laptimes

This track is tricky, you basically have two circuits rolled into One.

Many consider this circuit to be like Road America or Sunset, which is false, granted the second circuit shares some resemblances but the Apex's here are a lot tighter and you'll find late braking/smooth exit will gain you as much of an advantage as straight line speed.

Entry into turns 1 & 2 are Crucial, and the final exit coming onto the back straight is going to be your money maker, so get your car setup to nail the final tight "switch-back" chicanes and to get the most out of the Launch off the Apex, then work back to reduce the aero, I personally find you won't need to reduce that much but its all down to driving style, and whilst I normally run noticably soft setups, here I have mine slighter stronger in the Suspension and Roll-Bar departments.

This is just my take on this track and my experiences with it, other Drivers may agree others may Disagree, use our comments as merely a Guide and test for yourself, and you'll find your Groove in no time.

I'm not sure if anyone is using the Audi but ask "the bullin walls", he usually has some good advice.

I didn't know Audi made an M3 rain

Oh I gotchya haha

I think I have a setup for the R8 if anyone wants one.

id like that tune please. sorry for causing the confusion i have aa ffriend that wants to sign up for this series as a team but he doesnt know how to drive a mid-engined vehicle so im attempting to build a tune for an r8 and a bmw.

Ill put them on my storefront. If you like them, message me on Xbl, and ill send them to you unlocked.

1:23.7xx in 4 laps.
That's enough practise for me.

Abruzzi doesn't like the track.

Or the Viper     

Perhaps an advantage for the Z4

Yeah, stupid long straights! haha  

That Jag, though.   

when I said a there was a chance for the Z4, I may have been a bit over confident, making out before the start finish line and only doing 1:26:2's

Quick question, I'm doing some practice for the race (I'll be driving for Weaponized TMS) and just wondering if you're following the suggested racing line in the first corner even though it deviates across the solid white line at the edge of the track. I am currently and I'm putting in 1:26's in a Jag (no tune) so I assume you are but I'm just checking

The lines on the circuit are off in a couple of places, since there is no forced Pit this Round and I believe the previous GT championship also ignored the turn 1 markers I would do the same.

I'll have a Steward double check but for now don't worry about it, as long as it's registered clean by the game its fine.

ok cool thanks (: I just ran a 1:26.086 in my Jag with a nice tune. I might be able to push 1:25.something if I stig it.

1:21.944 is my PB from last weekend. Now who wants to see me not even break a 22 in qualifying?! XD

Just ran some Friday laps and done a 23.2 with Infineon no aero tune very slidy session lol.

That time is rapid

1:21??? WTH? We are racing on the same track right?? (1:26 is my best...)

1:26.097 is currently my best. Did 15 laps and could not beat it, and I'm getting really, really frustrated because I'm aiming for a 25.5.

EDIT: 1:25.624. I'm happy wih that!   

Lap Times for Round 5 - Road Atlanta

Getting a feel for the track and car. Did a 1:23.806

Probably be able to smash 1:21 by race day. Hopefully faster

I remember testing for ISCC and getting a 1:19.1 in the Ford, hopefully someone hits an 18.

1:19.8s in the Viper from ISCC. Though I think my PB clean was around a 1:20.1.

I'm down to 1:22.2** with a little bit of tweaking. Getting faster all the time.
