Went out to eastern creek on Wednesday and had a pretty good day, car ran very consistent. I was running R888 instead of my usual R1R's and with less power (15 to 20km slower down the straight) I improved my lap times to some consistent 1.52's and a best of 1.51.6. I was using my iphone with Harry's lap timer app and did not realise I could record the laps as well as time them until later in the day. So below is a 1.53.12 with some traffic... I guess All I need to do is improve some of my lines and I will make up a heap more time.

Getting fast now Jimmy!

Well done!

Tyres make a huge difference.

That and practice...

Nice time mate!!

I'm liking my R888's too. Get even faster when they wear a bit as well. Did you go with 265/35 rears?

[jimmy1234]

Yeah the tyres really helped, considering I was down on so much straight line speed it felt good to still make up time else where.

I was running 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears.

I now just need to get some time in the car and hopefully keep improving.

Practice is definitely the key to sorting the Car out going faster.

[Rosie]

oops!

Hit the wrong Key!

I ditched power to get better 'power down' to!

- Less power gave me quicker times!

The only other real obstacle with these Cars is 'weight'.

- It's still the real Killer.

I weighed mine with a full Tank of Gas and me

- 1920kg!

Don't know about that Buff, but I do know Philip Isle is f..... awesome!

Anyone who gets a chance to go there is in for one hell of a treat!

Very faaaaaast!

What was the top speed down the Phillip Island Straight. Will I hit the 230 limiter with around 300rwkw?

I'll be there at Eastern Creek this Thursday 23rd pm.

Turn 2 and 12 has been resurfaced. Did you gain time here?

[jimmy1234]

Its hard to say where I made time, I felt as though I improved my line on turn 2 and made some time but not sure how much the resurfacing helped.

Turn 2 is such a hard turn, it set up the lap with so much time made and lost in that turn.

As for turn 12, I struggled through this turn all day. If I used 2nd it would spin the tyres far to much and 3rd was a little laggy. I ended up using 3rd and holding the corner wide to try to maintain some boost for the exit.
