Hey all
I'm looking for lap times of the ring or hockenheim. I dont care what type of car, but if you list a car I would be interested in the tires and suspension mods. I dont care about engine.

I would also be interested in silverstone (for those that have UK connections or are in the UK)

thanx

Roy has a really good time, but I can't remember what it was.. Maybe Ben knows.

Yes that helps alot!!!
Thanx

No, don't know his Hockenheim times. Just know that they don't care as much about noise there contrary to the Nuerburgring, so Roy never had problems there. BTW, anybody here heard something from him? (I haven't)

I'm afraid that a few years back I did start recording lap times, but I stopped and concentrated more on getting the most out of every lap, regardless of time . I tended to use a lot of laps to concentrate on certain things, like slicing corner apexes with a strong drive to the rear that shoots you out of the corner hard on the gas, in the "zone" in which you can feel the tires slide sideways and bite while under hard acceleration.

I started concentrating on pieces of the track or racecourse, approaching it from a scientific point of view, then putting all the pieces together in to one flowing effortless series of motions- for me this takes time and practice- and the speed comes naturally. And significantly....

I found that when i put a timer on what I do I focus on the time instead on what I am doing...... so I stopped, and times did improve for me, by a great amount over a period of years.

...I was in Hockenheim yesterday. Quite OK but the driving style there seems to be more aggressive than on the Ring.

Especially when most of the drivers are drunk!!!
