Dont worry about layout... cones are amazingly effective things lol

The format could be a morning getting to know the circuit - then the afternoon on individual runs.

how does that time compare with the cars they have tested?

And the stig could only do 1.5secs better? No offence but you'd have to peddle some to get near the stig surely?

To get within 1.5 sec is easy its the last 1.5sec thats the bastard and thats where the pro's come in to it.

Evo 6 500hp with D2 suspension but still with AYC which would be over .5 sec loss over a RS rear diff.
