The 52 easy is not endorsed by the reality team.

It certainly did a 55.206 pretty easy.  That was my 3rd lap and the first two were spent fixing the setup and gearing.  I'll bring it down some this weekend.

well... I was able to pull off 53.964 in the Bentley but that's right up against the absoloute limit I can run with that car.  I had to face the fact that the Minolta has a higher revving engine, and can be tuned for more HP and a higher top speed.

new time - 53.260

Im topped out.I dont see getting the car any faster than that.Looks like I made a killing once.........once in turn one.All the other laps the counter goes to 2 from 1 pulling out of 1 so I must have nailed it pretty good that time.Loseing a bit in the little uphill right turn too<4> but thats not much.Theres more in the car.I just cant tune it in.:confused:

Turns 1 - 5 are cake. The normal braking point for turn 1 is the striped curbing. I love that uphill, probably my favorite part of the track. It's that last turn, where the back corner tightens suddenly, that gives me problems sometimes.

I really shoulda got somebody else to pick this setup. That extra 50kg is gonna cost me alot of points :( Kinda neat though how many people have posted times. Good turnout for the week :aok

btw - 55.429 : Toyota GT-One. gave up on the Formula & the Audi. Formula can't hang with these NOS sprayed beasts. The Audi couldn't keep the rear end from starting a progressive drift in all of 6th gear. Just got too bad to manage :( Had high hopes for that car.

I've been on pace to hit 53 flat several times, but I always either clip the grass on that last turn or run out of nitrous in the final straight.
