I would be very happy with a 1.31, just took my 02' Accord type R out for a couple of laps and its doing 1.32's at 400Hp. Most the cars I've tested on trial mountain with under 400hp do 1.31's.
Its one of those tracks that tests the driver as much as the car and there are only very small margins time wise to advance from tuning. In the end cars I tested there were tuned on the merits of how well they handled each corner as opposed to the overall lap time because one corner not taken perfectly screws up the whole time.

Even if you hit the perfect tuning for that car there I don't think you would break into the 1.30's ( assuming no corner cutting and penalties set to max). I think it has to do with Trial Mountain consisting of a lot of "medium" corners that most cars can take at around the same speed so there is not a lot to gain unless your car handles like crap to begin with.
I use trial Mountain more for testing a cars stability ( elevation changes ), I find Grand Valley gives a better overall idea of a cars weaknesses/ limits as it has more varied corners and a straight. Its a bit faster as a track. The slower the track the closer all the cars times tend to be so it becomes harder to define the better handling.

Hope this helps your quest somewhat?

Which tires? I'd reckon you *should* be able to do 1:29s on race softs given the "fast" FWDs do 1:31 all day long at circa 400hp on sports softs and the "slow" ones run ~1:33-1:34. Accord is somewhere between the two.

There are MASSES of time to be gained via tuning even with a "good handling" car at Trial Mountain. You just need to know the track well. Trial isn't exactly a slow track either and I've yet to find a car that can't stand to go about a second quicker minimum with a good tune. Some shave 4-5.

We just have different definitions of "masses of time." A one second faster tune over standard I would not consider to be a huge advancement, and a car that stands to gain 4-5 seconds on suspension alone would be my definition of a car that handles poorly to begin with.

Like I said its as much about the driver as the car.

My car is on race softs and if I drove around all day I might fluke a 1.31 on my setup, ( spent some time on it but I'm not done with it yet). I have a selection of Civics with 400HP and they all weigh about as much as a bag of crisps and the fastest one has a 1.31.328 on time trial. They have little engines so on a track like this with lots of hills it might go against them though?
It might pay to mention that I stay within the confines of the track and i dont look to exploit grass that can be driven over. I know there is a spot or two you can just launch your car over the corner instead of going around.
Its not exactly a fast track either your peak top speed might be 200KM/H crossing the start/finish line? and that only lasts for a moment in time then your back to mostly medium speed corners. Its pretty bang in the middle really.

Keep in mind that front wheel drives don't have the scope for increasing manuverability as much as a F/R car.
