LOL, some one was that close. :) Good one Ignignoc!
 
I SHOOPS DA WOOP!!!

Simple calculation was simple. GrumpE kind of gave me something to start with: he said that most of the track was done between 300-500 mph. I just split the difference:
400
Then, I remembered that the track was at or around 1.5 miles:
(1.5 / 400)
Of course, the measurement is miles per HOUR but we're hunting SECONDS, so I remembered that there are 3,600 in an hour:
(1.5 / 400) x 3600 = 13.750~ish
I cheated. LOL!!

Gonna go with one that's a bit more simple, and a WHOLE lot harder to calculate. Most of you that know me know that prototypes are my favorite class, and that Sarthe 1/2 are my favorite courses. That said, give it your best shot:

Circuit de la Sarthe 2 (unchicaned)
Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89
Oil Change
NO other upgrades
R3 tires

Gentlemen, you have the rest of Sunday to make your guesses, and I will post the time on Monday morning.
 
I'm going to guess 3'20.000.
 
3'10.000?

I knew I gave out too many hints, but I figured since few of you have driven hybrids, I should give you some info to base a guess on. and btw doing the math is never cheating!



2'41.911
 
It's actually kind of a toss-up between Fabmaru and Flynn, but I think I'm going to give it to Fabmaru because he hasn't had a go yet, and he got REALLY close on the decimals.

Fabmaru = 2:51.482
Actual run = 2:53.492

Good going, matey! 👍

Your turn now.

EDIT: Geeze, GrumpE, I wish I could drive a 2:41 with a stock Sauber. You give me far too much credit.
 
Yeah I won. :)
I will run A Nissan Skyline Xanavi (JGTC) in the Fuji Speedway 80's. You will have until tomorrow at this hour to post your guesses. Go!

1'28.354
 
1'25.000?
 
Extra information: The car is stock with racing soft tires.
 
The time is...

1'11.205

Closest times: Ignignoc N Err - 1:12.350
__________: ACTUAL TIME: - 1'11.205
__________: AndersonG22: -1'10.001

So Igni is your time again. Congratulations.
 
Holy CRAP I'm good!! However, since I've had my go, I'm more than happy letting Anderson have a shot. Everyone else alright with that arrangement?
 
No!
I'm kidding. I was going to say that but you could not agree.

Thanks Ig, I will run a stock 2004 361hp BMW M3 at Nurburgring with no aids. Its on S2's and I will be using Royal purple synthetic motor oil.

You have until tomorrow at around 1-2pm EST to guess, good luck. I wont look in here until then, or after I run the time.:gtpflag:

WHEN IS 1-2 PM EST? Tell me one city with that time so I can see in my mobile phone.

Any way my guess is 7'43.539
 
7'39.000?
 
I was probably too optimistic with my guess, but that thing definitely should do less than 7'30
