Brands Hatch Lap Times and dicussion (cup)

[bover907]

Seems like a fun track. still gotta get the course memorized. Ran a 1.47 just now. bet that's slow as hell. What are you guys running?

Hardest part about a new RC is just the memorization. Then the laps times should come down significantly.

I can tell you this, if you haven't been on practicing this track a few times this week, at least, Don't even show up saturday. First person that hits me at 130mph while I am slowed to 45 for that sharp turn 2, because they have no idea where they're at on the course, I'm going to go off. (Just so you know, lol)

137 here. so after 25 laps i should beat you by 250 secs bov....lol

btw - turn on your ghost and it shoud help. well, it helps me anyway.

the "two wheels on the track at all times" rule of thumb should be real difficult for me being that my car rolls up on 2 wheels half the time. lol its like stunt driving for pete's sake.

i also had to turn on auto shifting to stop me from shifting to nuetral and even reverse alot. hahahaha

the race should be a fun one

You guys are hilarious!! We have this weekend off. So you both have plenty of time to practice.. bover you are right, it's all about memorizing the track.. Will be around next week to practice in the evenings if u guys feel like practicing..

i ran with adam last night he ran a 1.330....i ran a 133.1 difference being he ran speed gears i had fuel

[efgordon]

i've worked my way down to a mediocre 135.3

i cant put enough together without wrecking to see how far she will go on fuel yet though.

btw - this track has the smallest pitstalls i have ever seen. was it even made for cup cars? pitting is gonna be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

[Big Mike]

I agree pitting does suck big time here!! fastest that i hit was a 133.6 and thats beating the sh*t out of my car....

I have a... umm.... friend, uh.... Anyway, my uh, friend is having braking trouble between the start/finish line and turn one. My, ummm His car wants to come around on him there, and if I, I mean he brakes early enough to prevent that it seems like he is getting rearended. Anyone have any advice for my uh, friend?

Thanks!

Your "friend" should release break just prior 2 the said turn in question, Have your "Buddy" Hold the wheel tight and dirt track the corner,Next "He" should Hope the rear end of car does not swap places with front end,After all that Your "Compadres" car may or may not straighten out.If all that works, then brake as needed to complete corner. If above options fail to work, Your "Buddy" might want to try Dragracing "No turning Required"

[bover907]

lol

[DaveO]

Ok bov. I just ran this track again to refresh my memory.... Tell your friend, (hehe) Downshift right after the s/f when u see the 200 mark on the left hand side of the track. then start braking... Hope this helps!!!

[bover907]

I actually figured out something this morning. Thanks for the replies.

[d3efan]

[Stick77]

I have been running all morning and cant get any better than 135.5,s.I can only go 10 laps on fuel. Is that close to everyone else?

[Stick77]
