TMP track times
 

Hey guys/gals, I've been attending several track days at TMP this summer and I am curious what other twins are clocking at Cayuga.

My best time so far was 1:25:60 with a passenger and pretty worn tires.

Upgrades to the car are coilovers, LCA, hawk hp+ pads and 255/40/17 RS3's. Other than that the car is stock performance wise.

My first time on this track I couldn't break into 1:27s and eventually got into 1:25s with more practice, so I understand that driver skill is very important for getting fast lap times. With that said, post up your lap times and what you have done to your car.

I want this thread to be specific to TMP track only, as it can serve as a reference for anyone trying to reach their goal laptimes.

Not me, but a good video for reference.

255/35/18 AD08R's, coilovers (MCS IIRC), tune and catback -> 1:21.8. Same car on stock tires was 1:25.5.

To be fair, Dave has TONS of time at TMP and a big driving resume.

^ I've been following speed academy for about a year now and Dave does seem like he has a good amount of seat time. 1:21:8 is very impressive, to me at least haha.

I will soon need to retire my RS3s and will need to research some other tire with similar or better characteristics.

Some guy on YouTube did 1:24 with seat and seat belt, all else being stock.

according to the following, stock is 1:26

^ 1:26:6 is quick for a stock frs/brz. Must have been a good driver. Having a good data acqusition system also helps getting a more accurate reading. I was using a racechrono app on my android phone, so i'm not sure how accurate it is.

But my main problem on the track was staying firm in my seat, i think a harness would help a lot with keeping me in place which should improve laptimes.

Pretty sure that 1:26 in stock twin is set by Dave.

I did a 1:24.1 with coilovers, bbk, and RS3 a week and a half ago. Was a really hot/humid day and both brakes & tires were struggling.

How many laps do you guys go out for before a break?

I usually do 8-9 TOTAL (including 1 warmup and 1 cooldown lap). I always try to go on Mondays since the track is virtually empty.

I managed a 127.XX timed from a video this past Saturday, with a worn set of stock sized RE71R's, the first time at the track. Car is stock, and I know I had faster laps, but I lost the camera on the 4th lap in and never put it back on the car.
I can tell by my tread wear pattern that I could benefit from more negative camber up front.

Until I run out of tires, brakes, or concentration - whichever comes first. Or when I run out of fuel :lol:

ive ran a 122.5 on 255 re71r and kw clubsports and pads. now with new setup im trying to get into the 21s

That should be totally doable on the RE71R's, they're definitely stickier than AD08R's.

hopefully be faster once i get my JR charger in

I should feel embarrassed for pulling 1.31 with passenger on pretty much stock car. First time at the track though, definitely 1.30 material if I kick my friend's 140lb fat ass :P

So much this. This year alone I've had to finish at least 1 season each track day early because of either miscalculating fuel or just not checking at all. If I were allowed to stay on track as long as I wanted, it would probably be 30 minutes. At 25+ minutes my concentration starts to drop off dramatically, I think the amount of sweat has to do with that. (no AC, windows rolled up, just hot air bwing blowed inside the car).
