Whats a fast time @ Spa?

[shane@mbtech]

Reason I ask is I was looking at this vid of 2009 MLR trackday of an Evo X SST like mine with near 400bhp.
Running on cups, KW clubsport. Similar spect to what mine will be.

Vid shows best of 2.51, but he ran a 2.49, seems pretty quick?

What did curly and Shimmy run? Was it 2.54?

I managed a few 3.00 min laps on my first visit there in 2009 with minimal track knowledge on standard suspension.

I never timed myself this year but would imagine i knocked a second or two off my previous best - when the track dried anyhow...

Think I did about 7 mins

You were allowed you had Pizza

I know I ran just under 3 mins, 1st time there, in the pork 996tt.

I remember watching a vid of curly and shimmy chasing a gt3, I'm sure they were low 2.50's

Nice laps. Very smooth and sub 2min 50 would be very quick.

Been there so many times but never timed my laps, so can't say what I've done but fairly sure Shim/Curly have been in and around that time and possibly quicker.

iirc first time in 2008 was 2m57, 2009 2m54 and fastest this year was in DuncanRs monster a 2m57 again

Looking at 2009 data the ideal lap was about 2m52.5 so i reckon a good driver in CSL could get a 2m50

all being equal this year that what i was gonna try for

Seen that before, impressive but you wonder how he timed the 2:49 if it isn't on video given the lap timing mechanism he uses is video based...

Indeed. Looking at those laps I would say the sub 2min 50 was possibly forum talk. Unless he has one of those Jap adjustable boosty things to send the boost through the roof for a qually style bansai lap.

Ant did a 2:37 in a CSL that was suffering with HGF so low compression in 4 cylinders! Mind you it was a bit lighter than standard and on slicks with some minor aero mods

Standard engine though, 380bhp on MoTeC.
