Yeah, I need some more time to get more familiar with that track. And I did that lap time in the heat of the afternoon. I would guess in the nice cool morning, there's an automatic time gain to benefit from. Now I have something to look forward to on my next trip there. Member Ti-Jean was following me in his GT3 on that lap and recording video. He had less grippy tires than me and stayed there the whole lap until the final straight when my horsepower put distance between us. He did some great driving and did a 2:01 that lap. The funny thing is that when he wasn't chasing me, the fastest he could go on those same tires was 2:04…….sometimes you just need a rabbit to chase down. |

I think the cyclone is more standard (and beginner friendly), but I've run them both pretty equally in various clubs. If I had to guess I'd say the difference in time is maybe somewhere around 3-5 seconds (correct me if I am wrong). Personally, I prefer the bypass.

Since we did a couple different tracks over the last few days, I also have a new fast lap to share from Sonoma. I improved on this track by 3 seconds.
E90 M3 Track/course: Sonoma Raceway Best Lap Time: 1:51.26 Brakes: AP Racing - Cobalt Friction XR2 front/XR3 rear Tires: Hankook TD - 295/30/18 square on Apex Arc-8 10.5" Suspension: JRZ RS Pro Other mods: VF620, Akrapovic X-Pipe with stock exhaust, (no aero parts), Euro-MDM on ( ) I'm chasing an Ariel Atom. hehe futile chase. I think on this lap I was gaining on him, but he was running 1:46-1:47 all weekend long. |

Last time I was there it was a 1.7 sec difference with the bypass being quicker. E46 M3 with stock engine and aero. 1:57 bypass and 1:58.7 cyclone. My straight line speeds were 10 mph less than yours but I could carry 96-97 mph minimum through corner 1 for example.....

Experiencing the 5 mile Thunderhill track July 6th...Definitely feeling excited, but also wondering if I should run with the slower group since I will be learning the the new section.

Great video! At 1:47 was that off-track or is that the intended line? |

I was told to go as wide as barriers allow you to go. I guess we lucked out that there were no barriers at all. |

Been there only once (June of 2012) and we drove like that line. Wasn't any cones or makers there that day. (NCRC was the organizer)

Yeah I hear you. I do feel like I was entering some turns hotter and carrying more speed. But need to look over both vids side by side. Car feels great. It's also summer now and everyone is slower.
