Production Sedan - Lap Times

Got a fast time you want to brag about? Want to check out what other people are doing? Maybe looking for some tips on going faster? This is the place to do it.

2015 Subaru WRX Sti getting a 1:28.445

I did a couple of flat 27s around Road Atlanta in the Subaru but there's a lot more speed in it, for sure.
Although it lacks the mechanical grip of the AWD version I think it's capable of some low 26s or even high 25s.

In my hands, that is.

I expect top times to be in the low 24s around Road Atlanta.

Hi i am around 1.28 with the rs 4 sedan but its undriveable. I dont know the behaviour of this car is weird with rwd just doesnt turn in and always tries to snap its back under acceleration (understeer and oversteer at the same time). Tried some setup with the differential but didnt work until now. Any idea?
I know the car has more power and time in it just cant hold it on track properly.
The naturally rwd cars have a much stable behaviour.

1:25.8's

It's a weird quirk with those sorts of cars, in the ones that are swapped to RWD instead of being natively RWD. You'll get mid-corner and the back end whips around for no apparent reason. Fixing that problem can be difficult. I'd recommend trying one of the following things: lowering your rear anti-roll bars, lowering your rear springs, increasing rear aero, decreasing acceleration setting on the differential. Each of those suggestions will have a different effect on the car, so I'd try them one at a time!

I suspect low 1:24's would rule the roost but maybe a 1:23.xxx if someone spends a ton of time in the cars. A few quick laps got me a 24.7 in one of the Holden's.
Even though it's a boat, the Lincoln will do low 25's if you push it

24s? I thought I was doing good in the mid 26s.

I might aswell give up now then I can't get below 1:33 in the volvo

Don't give up! The Volvo V60 is one of the more challenging cars to drive, but quick once you get it right. TCS might work on it and if you're not using it yet, so does Manual Clutch. Try to apex the corners and only go full throttle once you get your car aimed straight.

I'm not using TCS so I'll give that a shot

The V60 is a wonderful car in AWD. RWD? Hard pass.

24.7 in the Subaru for me but i hating on the car now xD

Might as well revert to stock settings, as everything I touch makes it worse.

Same

High 25's are the best I could do with the Q50 so far. I can't stop the back end from snapping out on corner exit. If I could stop that from happening I could definitely drop my time.

W/o TCS, that's all my Caddy does. W/TCS, it just bogs down to a crawl.

I originally started tuning with traction control off but it proved pretty much impossible to drive without spinning. I do get the slight bog as well which I'm also trying to tune out but it's more the tires instantly lose traction in the back during hard corner exit.

OMG 25 with the Infinity?? I dont know how i tried it too but couldnt even drive it.

29' is the best ive done so far but still a second maybe two ican get out of it

it took a lot of tune changes to hit those times but I know it's far from what it could be. Tuning isn't my specialty.

You're welcome to try my tune if you're using the Infiniti. Add me as a friend, send me a reminder and I'll upload it for you today.

26.1 with the HSV on the cusp of 25s but just fine tuning is a [Censored]

25.901 😍 in the HSV but struggling with understeer all through the final sector bit lost on how to tune it in honesty

I've driven all cars and all are struggling with understeer in the last sector. So far I haven't driven a tune yet which doesn't understeer there.
