stock tires + damp and a laptime of 9.09 is just as expected, or maybe a couple small seconds slower. But I dont know how damp it was..
They reckon 8.50 with good tires. Just as predicted in my opinion.
I tought the 86 would be somewhere between 8.43-8.50 depending on tire compond. (down to 8.43 on Z1 star specs, and up to 8.50 on good high performance summer tires)
My estimates were based on
GT5 times and looking at times from other cars.
Lets be real.
NSX 8:38
S2000 8.39
There was no chance of the 86 beating those cars. Or being very close.
8.43 or faster would not be achievable even if the 86 had very sticky road tires.
Cars like Civic Type R, and Mini Cooper S are around 8.50
There are several factors when it comes to Nordschleife laptimes. Not just weather, but there is also different drivers. Even good drivers can easily have 5 sec +/- compared to each other..
