As per first post Wayne, I'll need:

DATE of laptime
ENGINE: (231/192) + Standard, Ported, Turbo/Ch or Super/Ch
CAR: Standard or (seriously) stripped out car
TYRES: Road, Semi-Slick or Full Slick tyres (Tyre make and model would be good too)

And it'll be a 1m26s in the rounding up rules

Good time though

Date , this will be a spoiler , 31st October 2018
15.33 , sunny and freezing
Standard engine
Stripped car with half cage so about 30kg weight saving
17.8 stone of fat git driving
Black round slicks

Great time at Donny Wayne.

Here’s my best time at Donnington really pleased with this time as I know I lost a few seconds on the start finish straight as I had to short shift and back off as I passed the sound microphone. Otherwise I’d be knocking at Wayne’s times

Mods-
Standard engine 231
Buckets
Rear seats removed
Half cage (weight gain +20kgs)
Coil overs
Aero front & rear
Nankang AR1

I had a 1.25.11 in donington this week on the national circuit

Now added to the list Wayne, rounded up to 1m26s as I do with all times

I was speaking to Ranjan yesterday about the AR-1's and he rated them highly. Seems like they are working for you too, as that's a great time around Donny

1m20.7 is a great time Wayne

- remember we round UP all times , so you need to gain over a second to claim a 1m19

PeteH · Post by **PeteH** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 7:18 pm

Just need 0.08s to be able to claim 1:20 though!

Did anybody notice there was not mention of "no timing devices" at JDM Combe last weekend? I guess they know everybody's running Harry's and I clearly had it on display in my car, which went without comment from the Marshals.

Pembrey new circuit last week , car was impeccable until I ran out of petrol again . 1.12.8 on the new layout . I don’t think there’s a lot more I can get out of the car

Noticed that my fastest recorded lap at Croft, a 1:45.80 is an improvement on the time currently listed for a standard 231 with a decat on Feds
