I am clearly doing something majorly wrong with my cars as I can get nowhere near any of the times on here for SP3 with the 30% handicap applied.

What times are you doing? I'd say I'm an ok driver, not the slowest and definately not up there with the fastest but I'm doing 8.50+ in the 05 M3. Now I've driven it and others I'd prefer a different car but my team are happy with it.

what top speed are people getting at the bridge on the end of the main straight? in SP1?
for some reason, the lambo, with my shody tune is only managing 162 mph max

after my first 3 laps in the car i managed a 7:44.411 in the porker (SP1c) Smile

Last night with the 30% reduction I was struggling to break 9 mins in a Nissan fairlady which without the 30% had been one of the fastest cars I had built which is why I think that I am doing something fundamentally wrong with my upgrade path and tuning.

If you send me a FR, I can build you a 350Z and send it over. Im sure someone else can help you with the tuning.
After that, most time is made up through practice on this track more than most.
A lot of the corners can be flat out, where the braking line is red, and a lot of time is made or lost on a few fast corners.

That Lambo is really slow in a straight line.....properly the slowest, i used it in a VM Super GT event and at LeMans it was PANTS !!

Doing 8:41's in the 05 m3 with the 30%.

So i decided to have a look at what some of the faster drivers, had the Mazda Rx8 and 350z. all i can say is wow.. in minded that is with just a quick build and set up within 2 laps i was doing 8:38's in both cars..... I could probably get another couple of seconds off that time aswell.

Im not complaining as the bmw is what my team wanted to drive. Just want to highlight that some cars are a lot faster then others and some are a lot slower.

I kinda liked the 350z and 97 Civic :lol I'm sure we will be ok with the M5, Balmier has done a cracking paint for it.

SP1c 7.39.6xx with handicap still some room for improvement.

by F4H Carrera Sun 25 Nov 2012 - 15:16

Yet to run any laps in the cup car yet, but considering I got a 07:37.461 in the last VLN I'm hoping for a few more seconds off that with bigger tyres Smile

Judging by how much time I am quicker, you can do 30's. Cheers

Not bad considering the tune is for Le Mans without any power handicap and being a direct copy of the Corvette GT2 tune. lol!

Averaging low 36's
Can probably get a 34, would probably crash 9 times out of 10 though, so not a good idea for the race.

Yet again I'm left asking why the SP1 Cup cars aren't just shoved in to SP1, especially with times like those...
