    what times have you run at mosport? (big track)

    just out of curiosity...

    Some good drivin', there Andrew!
    What a neutral car! Feels closer to 2000 lbs than 3000 lbs... when YOU drive it!

    The custom valved Penske shocks and proprietary tire compound can't hurt... not to mention the carbon fible beetle body panels and that it's an acid-dipped and seam-welded car...

    BUT STILL!

        Oh look I was dreaming all along.
        Big track scares me after last springs incident. Just a tip don't brake in 2 it upsets the car not to mention the driver.

              I guess they figure nobody would drive a car near that fast... well one that comes with a flower holder that is.

                  Flower power baby yaaa.

                  I'm not sure I would worry about that lift with as much as the car weights. That's why I like the Focus big, fat and heavy as a tank.

                    i could only get the bug to hit 175 down the straight just over the last crest into the braking zone.


                    i was still able to manage 1:53's in -1 weather.

                      I've run approx 1:55's my first time ever at the big track with the Miata in street trim, on V700s and being a pussy. My second time on the track and first time ever driving John Powell's '83 RX-7, I was running consistant 1:40.6 to 1:41.0 after a dozen laps.

                        Earlier this year someone was timming a few people with a stopwatch and told me that I was running a few laps in the 1:48..

                        My car, 85 BMW 325es
                        Stock Suspension
                        Toyo RA-1 tires
                        weight: about 3680lbs (I guess it's time to do some trimming)

                        Top speed at the backstraight is about 185 km/h, just not long enough to get it into 5th gear,

                        I am trying now to get into corner 4 without braking, just a little lift, but usually I have to tapp the brake a little ( I guess the holy $hit factor), so the bottom of 4 I am going about 155 km/h. Next year, with a new and better suspension, I should be able to do this without problems.
                        Into corner 2 with about 120, out of 2 about 150.
                        I just love corner 2, the feeling you get going over the bump after the first apex and you find yourself all of a sudden 5ft more to the right....

                        Only about 180 more days to wait to do it again.....

                          Hey Andrew,
                          Did a 1:54 first time out, second lap in the GTI.
                          Best I've done in the GTI was 1:48 something
                          Best ever (in a GT2) was 1:46.

                          There is some time to be had in turns 1, 3, 4, 5A and 9.
                          straightline 4-5A and 8-9....that always makes me smile!

                            i feel that my times were good. (1:53)

                            -1 temps. first time out, check engine light, and limp mode all the way home. man i started to get alot of surging. i was on road race compound hoosiers, so they werent exactly sticking if you know what i mean. 0.2 degrees of negative front camber sucks too, but now i just sound like im whining

                            its not very inspiring when you tackle mosport for the first time and there is snow/ice all over the track...

                              The best time that I've seen from the in-car vid is a 1:39.xx with 1:40s consistently. Discovered that my brake master cyl is leaking internally as the pedal drops up the back straight and approaching 5. Real confidence inspiring. LOL! This never showed up in Solo since there's never time for the pressure to leak down on the S1 tracks.

                              Top speed into 8 was 220.
