What times are you guys running at Laguna Seca?
Is a 1:40 possible in a 914 with good tires and power to spare? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

Once you get Laguna down its all about power. I have caught 500 HP cars going into slow turn onto start finish straight and literally lost sight of them as they hit the little T1 hump. Powerful cars can make tons of time out there. Going uphill is similar as well. You can only do so much with momentum out there. Thats why I think Andy's car with 3.6 if driven well could get down into low 1.4X territory. Certainly not easy but something that a smooth fast driver could get to.
And me touching 1.41 was a one time event with clear track and a much faster pacer car in front of me - I tend to go faster if I can find someone fast to follow. My average lap time with traffic was around 1.43/1.44. And if I wasnt focused it was pretty easy to slip into 1.45 to 1.47 This post has been edited by grantsfo: Feb 7 2010, 02:12 PM |
