Just wondering what people's times are.

For this thread a 'natural time' is the time you'd get to after say 20-30 laps, the point at which your times aren't coming down without some effort, where you've learned the track and the car reasonably well -- and important, you could be sure you'd match that time given any 10-lap session.

The 'best time' is the time you've got to now, presumably one where you've practiced, watched replays, spun off a lot, cursed even more and generally put effort in. The point at which improvements are less than a tenth, and you couldn't guarantee that in 10 laps you'd match that time to within a tenth.

The 'target time is the one you hope to attain, the limit of the combination of your talent and patience.

Mine are:

Natural 1.50.500
Best 1.49.895
Target 1.48.999
 
In the normal car...

Natural 1'48.4xx
Best 1'48.237
Target 1'48.0xx
 
For the stock car:

Natural: 1'48.9
Best: 1'48.662
Target: 1'48.3

Haven't tried the tuned yet but hoping for a 3:24.5 overall time

Jack.

Times in the normal car vary wildly for me, but as a guess I'd say...

Natural 1:48.6XX
Best 1:48.292
Target 1:47.XXX

It'll take divine intervention to hit 1.47's but you got to try at least.

Tuned:-
Natural 1:36.4XX
Best 1:36.204
Target 1:35.XXX

In the tuned car I can lap consistently within a tenth or so, but to get that extra little bit it's a struggle, so my average and best times are quite close together. I'm optimistic about my target though, I can feel that there is more there.

Surprised me a lot that I feel more at home in the tuned car as I usually prefer low grip racing and tt's. *shrug*
 
Natural-around 1'48.3xx
Best-1'48.075

Takes some practice to get in the low 1.48s because im on the edge for every corner, one small mistake and the laps ruined.... although on my 1'48.075 i lost 0.15 in T1 but had a almost perfect finish to the lap.

Target-low 1'47.9xx
 
For the normal car,

Natural: 1'48.8xx
Best: 1'48.566
Target: 1'48.2xx

Not sure at all about the tuned car yet as I haven't put significant time into it.

Oh, and happy new year, guys!
 
For the normal car:

Natural: 1'48.2xx
Best: 1'47.858
Target: 1'47.75x

For the tuned car:

Natural: 1'35.6xx (I always get to this tenth early but can't improve more for laps and laps...)
Best: 1'35.616
Target: 1'35.3xx (maybe optimist)

Normal

natural: around 1'51.2-3
best: 1'48.760
target: 1'48'2-3

I have driven only 2.5 hours with the normal car so far so I hope I will reach my target.

The tuned car is killing my. I can't find the bracking point. I have driven only 1.5 hours with this after it made me crazy.

You still think you have 0.5 left overall....?

Absolutely, they are within my capability. Whether I get them or not is a different matter. My 1'35.976 in the tuned was off a T2 of 48.112 and if you watch my replay I utterly ruined turn 9 and 11. Sod's law, I ran them fine for the rest of the session and always made time on my best lap through that section.

In the normal I ran that 1'47.991 off a T2 of 54.630, I'd been hitting .49x last time I ran.

I started doing a lot better with a positive outlook and having broken the 48 and 36 mental barrier.

Like I said, what I'm capable of and what i actually manage to execute are two different things, so no need to worry :D

All the best

Normal :
Natural : 1’49.8xx
Best : 1’49.569
Target : 1’49.3xx

Tuned :
Natural : 1'37.5xx
Best : 1’37.202
Target : 1’36.9xx

I think I will put my final efforts these last days in the tuned car. It’s way more fun then the normal car.., especially with a pad.
