Assuming it was the same track layout as on the Friday when I went, one of the 500+ evos was claiming 1.15.

I was going round with my mate on Friday in his Impreza and he was running 1:31 laps but he was having to take it easy due to a couple of issues His car is a time attack car with 320bhp so I'd say 1:30 from yours is very respectable

well according to the web for the full GP circuit the lap record is 1:18 sec by ayrton senna, how much time does the extra loop add do u think?

and time attack says the record is 1:15 so id say someone should get that evo booked in

Yes mate full Marco special slicks....


In mine I was doing 1.30's with Marco in the car.... again on full slicks- but mine were a narrower tyre to Tiffs and I had drive train issues- if that matters???

It is worth noting though the 1.26's in Marks car were in expert session- we went out first let everything pass us and then had pretty much 8 laps of absolute flat out bollocks with no traffic or anything...

Hope that helps....

Good effort Spiky, that car certainly has some poke

When I had my 150hp nova from my siggy round donny I was lapping in 1.27/1.28 on A539's, that was years ago now.

We never timed the red nova round there but obviously LeeR21Turbo was lapping in the sub 1min 20's the way he was talking

Its a AWESOME course for any car but I did find the 27th a little loose in places lol

I would say your car IS quick, if you can get to Donny on a non sessioned day you will find you learn it much better.

Trackdays run in sessions fuck me right off, never enough tracktime.
