INDICATIVE RX-8 circuit laptimes

[bc-49]

Managed a 1:26 and a bit around Anglesey Coastal.

I believe that's the best time we have so far for a 231 with full weight/no aero? Plenty more time to find, was turning in too early to Rocket Out for sure.

231, full weight (with a passenger), standard engine, RB high flow cat & catback, Nankang NS-2R tyres. Rest in my sig.

Video here when it's done processing:

Hi Bill, nice weather you had there

Yep, that classes as a 1m27s under the rounding up rule, so close to the 1m26s listed for Anglesey (Coastal) with a std weight 231 (albeit an R3) and semi-slicks. Without the passenger you might have gone a second or two quicker

Is there a reason why Lydden Hill isn't on here?

No reason at all Brad, just no-one has posted a time yet. Do you have a record of any times there, before your "incident"?

Thanks Malcolm, we really lucked out with the weather!

Won’t take a passenger next time

I most certainly do...
I actually set my fastest lap time in the session before the "final session of the day"... For me anyway...
I was chasing a Clio 197.

"Stock" -

Wait, does that mean my 1m16.2 ( round up to 1m17s) at Silverstone National mean I set a good laptime? That can't be right...

If you have app or video evidence John , then yes

The GoPro is finally paying off!



Times at the top of the screen. Vid starts at the begining of the lap, everyone wave at Chris!

[ChrisHolmes]

What software is linked to the video for timing?

Engine was “choking” from 6000rpm most frustrating to have John pass me!!!!!

Racecrono

Aha! I have Race Chrono Pro and Harrys Lap timer so will hopefully get that worked out for JDM Combe.

If you want a hand linking RaceChrono to your GoPro let me know

Make sure you have the right GoPro battery's so you don't spend hours trying to get it pal working like some idiot I saw on here recently.

Didn’t realise I was hitting 120
Through church and over 100mph through village
Felt a bit frightened after

Full cage / race spec now so probably slightly heavier as there’s a lot of bars
Standard engine - BGW and
front splitter
The diet stated last night
4 lbs just by taking the rear seat belt clusters out
Door bars next.
