You looked like you were right "On It" proper :thumbs: If only the pesky Pokers got out of your way as quickly as I did :hahaha:
One day I'll Man Up and brake the under 8 minute Ring lap ... one day :smt090

how do you time your laps matt just out of curiosity?

My regular passengers do the timing (unaware to me while lapping) and tell me how slow I am, after :hahaha:
Alternatively, when I'm flying solo and my curiosity gets the better of me I use my Garmin GPS :thumbs:

T$ is the fucking man.:supz:



Must be something about us one armed fuckers:hahaha:


Out of interest, where do you time from-to.

On a closed day do you still time BTG, where is the fucking bridge, and wheres the gantry?

they are the first and last obvious markers on the main straight, on the tourist laps, that have now turned into the infamous BTG laptime markers...

the Bridge is a... wait for it... bridge crossing over the track 1/2 mile uphill from the tf carpark....with a big fook off Blue Bilstein sign on it ( you can just about see it from the pk beer terrace)

and the gantry is:clown: a gantry with a big fook off Red AUDI sign on it after the last bend....

I used a full lap file for the DN track day using the official start line down at the pits, but most people still time BTG as thats what all the joe public knows about:beer:

I thought as much Jim, being a ring novice I just needed clarification.

So your 8.28 would have been a ???BTG then?

[northernjim]

Nope, I did 8:34 full lap,

BTG about 8:07

( in my car it takes about 28 seconds to cover the 1660m inbetween the gantry and bridge :gayfight


there are 3 lap times associated with the ring....

1 - full lap, this is rarely used for manufacturers data/dick swinging but is becoming more common nowadays - ferrari's 599xx used the proper lap in its 6:58sec lap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agakdx32tfM

2 - full lap excluding the start/finish straight at the pits, this is the old school timing that Radical used with their 6:48 lap record....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiNdKtZM1VM

3 - BTG this is the clarkson 10minutes in a diesel jag time that everyone uses on the tourist days
