25 laps at 1:56.13, which is a lap average time of 4.64, which is easily 4/10's of a second faster than the previous track record. Consider that the original qualifying time of this car was 2:02.59 [4.92 lap average], that's a serious improvement.
That's insane.
I suppose it could be because it's warmer up in the attic. But this car just clocked 25 laps and did it eleven seconds faster than any of my other cars. I consider that insane. I've tuned my cars to run pretty much within a few tenths of a second from each other, but a 4.64? Insane. That's a new track record for sure. And aside from lube/oil and giving the rear tires a new scuff, I didn't do anything else to it.
To make sure I wasn't imagining things, I ran the other two newer cars to see what kind of times I could get out of them.
The Porsche
2:02.73 [4.9 sec lap average], which is also faster than the 2:05.72 [5 sec lap average] that it ran in qualifying, although not by much. It does push the Porsche up near the top of the pack, though. It beat all other cars except one.
The MKII
Everybody's a little faster today, that's for sure. The Mark II did 25 laps in 1:58.20 [4.7 sec lap average], which pretty soundly beat the Porsche. But damn, that Matra really is insane.
Back to the attic!
