Don't know what tunes they were running, but around the Brands Hatch indy circuit 1.21miles they were ranging between 45 seconds and 48 secs. I couldn't get better than 48 secs in a honda civic tyre r saloon.

If you look at the OP ( 1st post ) of the BTCCC thread @DaBomm4 linked, the cars used in that event would be good enough, this is what I built for the Round 1 winner and fastest lap at 49s ( Sports Soft 305HP, 1300kg ). The car has some limitation that can be removed, you can push the ballast rear ward for more rotation, lesser weight and more power. On Racing Hard, it should have no issue to get lower than 48s at Brands Hatch Indy ( same track on Rd 1 of BTCC )

Quoted Notes from the original replica post :
The power figure on the tune is 305HP / 305BHP, apparently the value of Asian GT6 HP ( mine ) is the same as EU GT6 BHP ( lewis )The 1st gear ratio uses Xtrac 516 Catalogue as the real life Xtrac 516 1st gear ratio BTCC Build Spec 2.923 is not reachable. This is the setup that will be used on race day

Here are the video of the races, so you can get an idea how quick the Civic that was used to win all the races

The Civic was tuned with tire wear in mind, and during those races, the tires ( SS ) - mainly the front that has the most loads, were in good condition by the end of each races ( 15 Laps ). This is a tire wear friendly tune, easier to drive and quite competitive ( won all 3 races of Rd 1 at Brands Indy - fastest laps on all 3 - with the lowest on race 3 - 49.387s ). Hope you find it helpful and good luck, God Speed !!
