Lap Times

[dan]

2.15s last time I was on new track in July and I've done 1.44s on GP now. I'm kind of looking forward to doing it again. I don't mind the new parts but not a fan of that hairpin.

So does that mean I might be 1:41-42 you think? I guess I'll find out on the 31st!

Can anyone estimate what my times at PI might be? Given I did a 2:10 my first time out when I did 2:43 on the Branham circuit I'm guessing low 1:40's??

Nah that was 5 months between drinks so my full track time should be 2.10ish now - all other things being equal. You should be 45s at least on GP I would imagine.

Cool - sounds like we're basically running identical times mate. Get your foot sorted so we can chase each other around Sir Hop-a-long!

actually you and Marshy should have a race down pit lane on your crutches

You are cheating though you have an R6

I keep telling you - an R6 is an unfair advantage! They really are just soooo much better than the other 600s. The kwakas are pretty close, and then there's a large gap to the gixxer and honda.

True but not cheating AS much now, at least it's the same capacity now and not double like the Pani!

Within reason is there much time to be made up at the T11BR hairpin ... it's so flippin slow???

In general, there's very little time to be made in slow corners. Conversely, fast corners have HEAPS of time to be gained. Unless you've already got it sorted, the biggest place to make up bulk time at the Creek is turn 1. If you are in the high 1:40s (GP circuit), eg 46s to 49s, there's often anything up to 5 seconds to be gained through there alone. Getting it even partly right can drop 2 to 3 seconds almost immediately.

Wow - 5 seconds in one corner! You're a big reason I've gone backwards at turn 1 Marshy - you had to go and crash there didn't you!

Mechanical failure - it doesn't count as a proper crash. Woulda been fine otherwise. Go hard or go home!!

True, scaring myself when I passed Sicko once and went in way too hot and felt like I was going to crash the Pani for about 5 seconds that felt like hours didn't help either. People used to tell me that I was fast in T1 when I was slower everywhere else...FML!

Actually mate I hate doing the tight new section but I think I'm relatively fast through there for some reason - always find I catch anyone I'm following up the twisty bit and often pass people at the T11 hairpin. Could mean my corresponding lap times on the GP circuit wont be as good as they should though...
