hello jono old friend things are just the same at home and we are making the most of what we have while we can. Would be good to trade paint with bud because as you have said its been way to long Wink

As for getting up to pace that may take time as I'm stuck at mid to low 35s and find myself braking way to early but hope to be on pace by the time the season starts

PS got married and in a few days time going to be a grandad at 42 years of age Smile

by CQR Jono Mon 11 Feb 2013 - 16:32

You've got a lot going on then Ranger Shocked

Congrats on the wedding and I hope you and Mrs Ranger can enjoy plenty of time as man and wife Wink

In testing I was stuck in mid/low 35's but hoping to improve now car choices are narrowing down. Knowing our past I'm sure we won't be far apart once the serious business starts Very Happy

Thanks mate. I doubt its the cars or even the builds/tunes as much as track knowledge though, as most of the cars are hitting 1:34s at Nurb GP and are great at rest of the tracks on the schedule.

I used Mugello Club for speed/low DF builds and Infineon to dial in grip, tracks I know very well. That way I could focus on the car and how to make it better, rather than testing on a track I don't know as well as that could skew the results.

Hockenheimring National
My best lap: 1.36.3xx I can't run better with SEAT :S

by Ax4x Kane Mon 11 Feb 2013 - 23:45

1:36.286 I had to change my poor handling Scion for a slightly nippier hatchback. I fear it will be a popular car though Sad

by Tray Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 11:42

1:39.000 with 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo .... i dont know what im doing bad.. car got terrible handling

im not sure if i sux or car sux ... lol!

by CalgonUK Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 18:35

so a 1:36 is about average/prettygood for a car with just parts no tune?

just checking as the bmw's seem to be the most favored rwd, so just trying some alternatives

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 18:49

Our car has hit the 1:35s Cool

just not with me driving it Embarassed

by CalgonUK Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 18:54

I think that has to be the build... I have a really good build/tune for that car @ hockenheim that should really help you... I was doing 1:05.2xx in it... The car has a lot of potential. FR me and I will ship it to you... Should help you improve that time by miles.

by Mr Akina Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 22:18

1:36.0 in all the FWD cars, so you can stick your allocations up your ass. lol.

If you finish behind me in the Nissan Sentra thing, shame on you.

by Ax4x Kane Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 22:21

^ Haha Brilliant. I've heard the Sentra is VERY strong. I expect it to be gone with 30 seconds of registration opening.

by Dav of Krypton Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 23:49

I can't even make the first corner smooth. So you can all expect to be weary and crash into the back of me when you try and get the cut. Ruining you engine and shocks. Inevitably giving me the advantage and ending in a podium. Twisted Evil

But on a serious note I am now on .1 off the 1.36 Smile

haha imacumin. Wink

by ClydeYellow Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 23:54

Cannot get below 1.39 in my Volvo C30, bummer. I could probably do better in a RWD... Probably won't if I try.

I'm hopeless when it comes to building and tuning. Besides, I hate Hockenheim.

by Dav of Krypton Tue 12 Feb 2013 - 23:58

Seriously mate you need to strip the car back to standard and rebuild it. I was in the same boat. Then as like magic, I swapped some bits n bobs and gained over 2 secs without even tuning. I don't even know what I did PMSL it just "worked". Forget that tune pal and rebuild. CQR champ gave me the heads up about it and never realises how much difference it makes just changing different engine parts. Smile

Also make a note and get your differential spot on. You will make up so much time on the corners and exits. (I know understand how diff works lol) stupid bloody thing. Wink

I don't hate the track, just how slow I am on it. If it makes you feel better, Hockenheim is much more suited to FWD than RWD. Shocked

After running a few sessions with some R1, R2, and R3 cars, I dropped my time to low 1:06s. Just need more laps at this track.

by HCR Karma Fri 15 Feb 2013 - 12:44

managed a 1:35:6 clean, and a 1:35:4, but it was dirty due to draft gained.

Can do that in both my FWD cars of choice,,,just gotta hope I get one of them now,,lol

Ever find a track that you just can't figure out? This is mine Mad

And 1:36 is gold compared to the 1:39 range I was stuck in last weekend Embarassed

I am torn between scheduling spec races there to learn the track or scheduling work the Tuesday of Rd1 of the TCC Shocked
