BRZ to run the ring?

[AVOturboworld]

That depends on who's driving the ring. If it's a professional driver who has done upwards of 3000 laps around the ring, then it's not all that subjective. I've had the pleasure of having to keep up with just such a person the one time I was there, and the one thing I could count on is that he was going to take each corner about the same each lap through. That's the basic definition of a professional driver, and that's what they get employed for.

It was like the mx5 spec race at Tsukuba circuit - while I could occasionally get a great lap in, the professional drivers I was co-driving with did every single lap within .15 second of each other for 30 minutes straight.

Chill... There is another big thread for Nordschleife Times.
Also, there is a thread for talking about 0-60 times for those who like to go into specifics about that..
And there is a thread for how you would like to BRZ STI to be...
It is nice to have some order, and I would not mind if Transformer was able to do some moderating...

I say +1 to this suggestion:

Sorry for messing up a messy thread... :p
I do think ichitaka05 is doing a good job on this forum.

If the mods want to make transformer one of them fine, but vigilante mods can get more annoying then what they are trying to correct/prevent. It also leads to a really negative atmosphere. If you have an issue with something let the mods know, and do it privately. You don't need to constantly call people out in public.

And yes I do see the irony.

No need to get all wrapped up in it - he noticed where I had intended to post and gave me the link and even added a winky-smiley to show he wasn't too serious. No big.

yeah but i think when you consider the differences in conditions that number willl grow significantly. the course is 10 times longer, there are 10 times more turns, there are longer straights to further penalize your errors, elevations changes, its a public road and many of those numbers have come with traffic on the road, different drivers, its not 30 minutes its now months if not years, significant weather variables. now i think that tskuba would make a pretty good indicator as the track is short and its much easier to get a good lap there than something as huge as nurburg

There are lots of 50 or 55mph highways where you may come upon someone driving a bit slower (say 45mph) which makes this a relevant data point.

If 60-80mph or 20-60mph is more important to you, consider getting a VBOX PerformanceBox and posting your results. I am sure many folks on the forum would love to see your findings.

I've seen a couple people run right at the 9 minute mark on more then one occasion while dealing with multiple yellow flags slowing them down.
