shit happens sometimes. Nothing is worse than going into the paddock to get your balls busted about spinning on the cool down lap...

Still be cautious in the real kink. You'll have to brake for it once you start carrying more speed out of the carousel. It will not be flat or even a lift in your M3 |

I was listening closely as you went through the kink since I'm trying to get an idea of what that's like. I won't be a pussy and lift...I'll just be full throttle in 7th gear. Quote:

For me, coming out of the carousel I am pushing redline in 4th gear, DCT, 3.45 gears, and just lift and use the engine breaking up top to slow me a bit, was planning on a quick up shift to 5th and plowing through, but haven't been there in the dry for a bit, think I'm entering around 105/115 depending on conditions and could probably take it around 120 (indicated not GPS) but needs pretty big balls and some familiarity as your entering the wall section of the track and things start to feel a little tight back there. This is a very fast track and corner speeds are pretty high...have fun and stay away from the walls

Hey what is a good time at Lime Rock in a basically stock E92? I was running 1:02's flat yesterday. I have AD08's and stoptech street performance with Motul 660. Nothing else. It seems there is at least another second and a half in braking alone. My brakes were giving up mid way through each session and i had no confidence in braking late or even at the 4 marker for turn one. Next season i will be getting ST40 front kit.

That's at pretty good time for a stock E92. Most of the stock M3's I have seen there run 1:03 to 1:05.
All comes down to how good and aggressive the driver is.

Track/Course: Road America
Best Lap Time: 2:39:21 Brake Pads: Stoptech SR34s (Stoptech ST60/ST40 BBK) Tires (Size & Model): 275/35R18 Conti Scrubs Suspension: Dinan Stage 2 w/ GC plates Other Mods: Dinan Pulleys, BMW Performance Steering Wheel The DCT helps a ton here since I'm not going down from 5th to 3rd in T5 and Canada Corner. After the 2nd day ever on RA...still have lots of time to gain in T1 and T5. Still got some more speed to get in T7. I don't think I can push any harder through T8 and T12. I'm going through the kink in 5th with a brush of the brakes. For some reason, I can't get comfortable pushing the car through carousel. I'm having trouble getting the lift right before the apex so I've run a little wide coming out of there a couple of times. I love T12-T14...fun, fun, fun sliding the car across the track coming out of T13. Overall AWESOME track! Better than COTA but still, as a track, Motorsport Ranch 3.1 is the best! If you haven't driven the MSR 3.1 near Ft. Worth, TX...you should. It's quite a challenge... Not the fast lap but a video nonetheless.

Went to Buttonwillow 13CW with Speed District. Thanks Josh!
E90 M3 Track/course: Buttonwillow 13 CW Best Lap Time: 1:58.122 (transponder) 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) In the video, you can see most of this lap moves along pretty well, but I'm embarrassed to say that I completely blew a corner on this lap. I missed the brake point going into Off Ramp and went too deep into it. When I compare this to other 1:59 laps using Harry's lap timer, I lost 0.4 seconds in that corner.....ouch.....would have been nice to get a 1:57 with just an average Off Ramp. Ah well, there's always next time!! |

Got a Vid of that fast lap? I'm sorry, don't mean to be a jerk but I'm having a hard time believing that you ran that time. Your car is almost stock, and stock DCT's run RA in 2:46. Scrubs will give you 5 seconds, which lands you a 2:41 which you ran.

I think my biggest turn for improvement is 14. I definitely tried a lot of things...never really got it consistently. I think I nailed it twice by luck all weekend and really didn't understand what I did differently. The ONE thing I know doesn't work is trying to rotate with throttle on entry...that just ended up in more under steer following by a tank slapper all the way to pit entrance and some two wheel landscaping. My next guess would be to try and trail brake but ran out of sessions. Quote:
First, whatever stock DCTs run at RA will vary WIDELY depending on conditions. Second, there's the driver that's a big variable. Third, most "how to's" I've seen late apex almost every turn. The one thing I did differently than most of the instructors and advanced student is I turn in earlier into T1, T3, T7, T11, T12 and T13. Especially in T1 and T12. Most were threshold braking, I was braking for a much longer distance. The difference was my car was more balanced. I was on full throttle at the apex. I used throttle to rotate the car instead of brake and steering. That's usually faster. The guys who were fast were doing the same thing. So those guys turning 2:46s are leaving lots of time on the table assuming dry, temperate conditions. I don't need a video to prove shit. No offense.

With that said, I know there's someone who can run a 2:37-2:38 with a stockish DCT. I was messing up T14 consistently so I'm guessing there's an easy half second on the front straight. T14 goes onto a long straight that's up hill. So a tenth given up in T14 translates into a lot of tenths at the end.
