A consistent 15.8-9 is a good lap time....

I can turn mid 15.7's and usually run up front with an Irating of around 1400. A 15.8 will put you mid pack in the middle splits, up front in the lower splits. When I string 40 sub 16 laps I usually finish on the podium. As a comparison Dale Earnhardt Jr. has only turned a mid 15.5 as a fast lap. I have turned a 15.612 yet average only a 15.8 or so over 40 laps at best.

I run a joystick but food for thought though, most people improve lap times when going to a wheel.

I did a 15.999 today. No point of going under 16s more then that

I got 15.965 fastest today with average of 16.6

An average of 16.000 flat will win you some splits, just concentrate on
hitting the apex and being consistent. I went from a 15.9-16.0 guy to a
15.7-15.8 driver in around 500 laps, takes a little wheel time. Three days
ago I was looping the car around every turn it seemed like!

I'm working on it. My rating dropped to 1.5 when I started. Now it's back to 2.53

I don't really do ovals, but jumped in a race yesterday, did exactly the same times right away. Since I got knocked out lap 20, according to Strip 480 laps to go to drop .4 secs

I still prefer the super stock, I guys the V8 sound over the Mazda sound.

Watch your F1 display, it will show you lap times live..

After you turn a 20-30 laps take a break and take a look at the lap tab. Click on the lap
before your fastest lap and watch what you did. Follow other cars too, this will give you
instant feedback. If you go low and lose ground you know not to etc.

Been turning laps at Daytona, took about 100 laps in the draft. Racked up a 104 incidences, mostly from bump drafting!

Such a easy track alone and turns into white knuckles if you get cars around you.

Bumpy!!!

Old Frenchy probably doesn't know it but he was racing with a road course professional at Laguna Seca today, none other than Scott Speed!

That is a pretty big name in the states....too cool.

I've seen Lucas Di Grassi, Bruv's seen Gerhard Berger. A lot of ex/professonal drivers use the iRacing software.

Heikki Kovalainen also plays under a shade account so I've been told.
