Sy, what does Harrys say that your fast lap distance was in metres?

Not sure just gives the length of the track and average speed

There are instructors and instructors..... You have no idea which type steves was....

I know what you are saying Sy , but he is pretty well respected and even better I dont pay

Each and every driver, whoever they are, have their own techniques and views, just like this forum

i do agree with Old Hairpin Steve, i think i can certainly turn in earlier there and carry more speed without being later on the power on the exit.

Not so with Mcleans

Im still generally a bit slow round Coppice but Sy is a tad faster round there. Key to Coppice is getting power down without loosing momentum to make most out of the Dunlop straight (my top speed was 6kph higher than Sy even though he went round Coppice quicker)

I have to agree with Sy, i dont think youll see much better than 1m18s in a CSL round Donny without slicks or downforce

[s.mac]

Shimmy, you seem to have a better top end speed than most CSL's.

I remember at Silverstone you pulled away on the straights, Dunc said the same at Donny but corner speed was the same in the 3 way train.

Must have been a good one from BMW

[s.mac]

Nice one Terry

If it's free and it helps happy days

I think even at the highest level different drivers will have different lines, braking points and turn ins but be within a tenth on the overall lap time. Then it comes down to race craft (overtaking) and size of testicles! Or in J.Platos case strength of front bumper
