I was wondering what speeds you people normally achieve on various tracks, on particular bends and driving what cars. By posting yours we could build an interesting "knowledge base". Obviously a lot depends on a driver but hopefully it will be possible to find out what can realistically be achieved when driving well wink
Ideal format would be:
Car driven, Track, Conditions (dry / wet),
For all corners: your entry and exit speed.

I'm not great & just starting, at Rockighnam International in an MR2 MK1 (122hp) my best speeds roughly (I think just by the speedo) were:
  • Chicane: 75>
  • Deene: <40 to 50 on exit
  • Yentwood: around >45
  • Chapman: rougly 50 something
  • Pif Paf: rougly 60
  • Kikby: >40 to 55 on exit
  • Gracelands: >60 to <70 on exit
  • Tarzan: 40 to 45> on exit
  • Brook: <60
  • Gretton <40 to 45 on exit

Hi System-G, I wasn't usually maxing it on the straight but managed to get over 95 the fastest. Yep will be at Rockingham on the 23rd wink Oh, btw do you know any of your conrering speeds at the new coastal ?

Pdd, obviously most of the time you don't focus on the speedo but still can have a quick look and it may help in a way too. Mind you some good drivers can chat and slide cars as seen on the TV, so a glimpse at the speedo is nothing compared to that wink
