Me and a mate did dono on sunday and allthough rather cold and a bit slippery, the old gal did me proud, now before anyone laughs at my time this was only my second track day in the car smile The timing was not exactly state of the art (mate on the grand stand with a stop watch) but it was consistent, any way, my best laps where coming in at 1min 30 sec's, 10 seconds quicker than the last time i was there with the standard wheels and shocks on the car ( that was summer to ) , still getting lapped though even though we only had 6 laps a session frown, I guess i'll be back in the summer with a few tweaks and try learn the track a little better. Any way, back to my question, wots a good time for one of these cars as opposed to a full blown track car on slicks.

Can't say I've every timed a lap so no idea really, I was there on Sunday but only in the pub, just kept hearing that AMG Merc squealing it's way round every corner. wink Didn't see you going round though. driving

LOL, That AMG was a sound to be hold, it was a bit of a mixed bag on sunday with more bangers than stile but there where some quick guys there, did you see the full on pug racer, god that was quick, the merc was in the slow group by the way (pussy) hehe

Well a 1:30 puts you about on a par with an BMW 318 http://www.tsl-timing.com/barc/2008/83021.pdf

...but dont worry, you're about 3 seconds faster than a Ford Fiesta http://www.tsl-timing.com/brscc/2008/84431.pdf
