The fastest guys will probably be in the 1:53-1:54 range, the rest of the "average" guys will most likely be about 1:56-1:58. I'll be happy to break a 2:03, but then again I'm always at the back of the pack.

Our fastest guys would be world record holders on Steam if they were racing PCars on a PC. Being consistent, not going off track and damaging your car, and planning your pit strategy will make a big difference in where you'll place in the final standings.

back on topic...

What's a reasonable target laptime for an average driver at this week's race. I just want to work on a baseline tune.

I don't run on Sundays, but do race some Fridays with a lot of the same guys. You're going to find yourself quite competitive with this group. The racing is great, very clean and respectful with great side by side battles.

Your strengths (my opinion of course) will serve you well here. Those strengths being consistent pace, situational awareness, positional strategy, tire wear control, and pit strategy. I hope you consider Friday nights too. I unfortunately missed last night, back has been spasming all week.

Good luck!
 
Thanks Gr8. We missed you last night. It was a good race with a lot of different battles going on. 1, 2, & 3 were running nose-to-tail for a lot of laps, and there were others paired up running together.

For your back, get a tens unit from your doctor. If not, they have decent ones cheap via Groupon. I found Soma works the best for spasms, but it can make you loopy. Skelaxin is nowhere near as effective, but at least you won't fall asleep like with Soma. My doctor wrote a script for a hot tub, so I was able to buy one and write it off my taxes as a medical expense. It helps a lot. I broke my lower back in a car wreck in '99 so I feel your pain. Hope you're feeling better and we'll see you on the track next Friday night!
 
Hey Gutter, I want to let you know I am going on vacation and will be leaving next Saturday. I will have to miss the race at Zolder, but will be back for Oschersleben GP on through the rest of the GT3 season.
