very very good driving
goes to show how much difference expensive kw suspension makes coupled with a good driver
1 second faster than the sport auto times of BMW M135i and the Porsche Boxster S 987
wondering what a 182 trophy could do it in now!
Manufacturer times use longer configuration using the main straight (-200m of it for safety reasons) so not a like for like comparison with a TF BTG time goes to show how much difference expensive kw suspension makes coupled with a good driver

Not sure it is is it? Aren't those times a full lap? This is BTG, and the a 135i should do about an 8:05 BTG... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfbvmahnIS81 second faster than the sport auto times of BMW M135i and the Porsche Boxster S 987

Great time for a car with 170hp though. Think it could quite happily live with some more rear toe out as it's pretty 'safe' on turn in, but of course that's the difference between a road car and track car.
- Almost full laps, they actually shave off the last 200m for safety reasons. I know seems insane - 20km of Nordschleife somehow made safe by cutting 200m for the straight. Maybe to slow entry speed into Tiergarten?

The seats all go through on the alacantra, the S16 seats actually tend to wear better than the rallye/gti-6 seats.Rob J said:

All ‘official’ laps including the 919 lap are run from and to those points missing out the straight.
BTG times are about 15-20s faster than a ‘full’ official lap.
Little known fact, if you fit the cam driven vacuum pump from the S-16 (which had it to drive the variable length intake manifold of it's slightly less powerful 155bhp engine) then these cars are REALLY good to left foot brake because the brake boosting is totally independent of manifold vacuum........
Kind of what I was getting at with the "Too fast for the road thread", that guy was utterly on it and having a whale of a time, extracting every ounce of performance from that old Peugeot, I doubt a lot of drivers of some very fancy metal could keep up.
Perhaps, when you get to that level, thats when you can have a 250 bhp car ?
Suppose the main thing is being on a circuit, but goes to show that even in a fairly low powered car like that, if you used it to its full potential on the road you would still be going very quickly.
