Well i reckon had it been a real best lap of the day itwould have been 2m48.5ish (ideal lap) so with your better control i think you can carry more speed thru ER and B2 and as Jim says all the benefit of two massive straights that will be anoth 1-1.5sec benefit.

I use Performance Box for my main data collection but the video and data on the screen was Harrys Laptimer Pro on the iphone4. SY used it at Donny and i bought for app £14.99. It works easy, combines data onto screen easy, uploads best laps to YT easy. Downsides are GPS is weak so 1hz isnt that accurate (you can get GPS 5hz attachment), the battery drains quickly and it uses loads of memery space.

But results are ok. Im havingt rouble with Tuesdays Harrys stuff as it seems to have a different start finish and gets a bit confused when you overaly data, but i will perservere

I said to you earlier in the year that a 2.47 was easilly doable.

Cage and Slicks its a walk in the park mate. My best lap at Spa had loads of holdups and was 2.52 dead and was like a sunday drive.

How much was down to slicks or the cage? But the cage did make a noticeable difference to the feel of the car. Who knows? I just know it was effortless doing that pace.

Great times Shimmy. Ill have to get back in an M in a yr or so and hunt you down

When you say difference a cage makes? does it handle better?

Yes. Chassis so much stiffer. NO flex in chassis at all.

As much as its fia for safety it just makes the car improved. And you can feel so much more too. (except in wet at Mira on shit tyres and you slide into barriers. )

My next plan in a few yrs is E92 dct, stripped and caged. Get the wedding out the way first.

Something like this maybe ? Had a good chin-wag with the owner last weekend @ the Ring about it... 1350 kg dry weight apparently with few extra ponies over the OEM 420 BHP.
Makes for an impressive set of BHP/Tone figures

Yes mate exactly like that. It's just an idea, but once I get ideas I usually try them out.
