I'm hitting around 1:20 at the moment

Klazerman

I did a couple of laps with the Subaru and got down to 1:21 without cutting corners or tuning.. Room for a lot of improvement i believe 🙂

Franco

fuu... i'm in 1:22.1 atm with the scoob... no tunning

D1Racer

I've gotten faster with the Evo, Suby seems faster in a straight line, but Evo has better handling for me

Klazerman

I have to say that this competition is absolutely fantastic.. It breathes life into shift 2 for me since the online crowd (all 20 of them) on the 360 seems to just favour chrashing around with the veyron instead of doing some serious races.

That said.. I didn't like the evo at first try but I might have to give it another try.. Like the last one the Jag was easier to drive but ultimately slower and unpredictable in certain conditions.

same here, the scoob seems faster, but with the evo you can handle better and the gearbox is better for this track, at least stock

I think the Scooby is the hot favourite at the moment hitting mid 1:20's. Though I do think with the right run the Evo X could keep a higher avg speed due to it's superior cornering which on Donnington can mean everything 😉

One of the main reasons I chose the track is that it's not biased towards fast cars, but balanced towards both handling and speed 🙂

Having said that here's my Evo X results so far:

I have a video of the two middle laps which I'll upload to NoGrope after this weeks comp is over 🙂

Interestingly I haven't managed to get the Scooby below 1:20.015 yet...

Stormy88

guys i think that is not the new comp till now it was a old one

Kaerar

It's the new one. The last one was the DB9 vs the Jag XKR on Dubai National 😉

Klazerman

1:19:792 ... Challange accepted!!

D1Racer

Car: Lexus ISF
Upgrades: Any inc. Works
Track: Road America
Would like to try something different if everyone is ok with it. An Enduro Trial. We'll start out small. 5 Laps. Select Race, 5 Laps, 0 opponents in the quick race menu. Fastest OVERALL time wins. This will take a whole different setup, consistancy is the key here.

Kaerar

OOOOH challenge accepted 😃

BTW anyone still interested in a drift challenge?

Stormy88

yeah drift would be nice too ^^

Franco

so far with the evo

Kaerar

D1Racer you are saving some mean tenths in that middle sector. I'm lucky to get it down to 36.3 yet you have a 36.1 and 35.9 in the image above. Got first and third sectors nailed though. Just tough on those two mid sector right handers...

I so need to add an opponent, I'm missing out on a lot of cash 😃

Franco

i'm failing in the first sector mostly... can't get the first corner right...

Don't turn too early, it's more of a late apex corner. Also, if you use the inside curb right it can help get you around.

Kaerar

I actually go on the premise that there is one superior line that gives the fastest lap, but there are many lines that give away only about 1-2 tenths per sector. This allows relatively good consistency even on not optimal laps to the point I'm getting about 1:19.5-1:19.8 regularly. It's that damn perfect lap that's eluding me 😛

TBH I've also found that you can make a total balls up of the first corner and still have a competitive time if you get the sharp right hander (Old Hairpin) at the bottom of the hill after the Craner Curves. There is easily a good half second to even a full second in taking just that corner at top speed in 3rd gear using the right braking and just skipping the right wheels over the curb so you stradle it on the inside of the corner 🙂

Here's my best attempt so far:

Klazerman

damn this is hard!!

Im down to 1:20:610 at least .. gonna keep at it until the end. Sorry for the bad quality pics, I have to take them with the mobile cam (x360) 🙂
