Fastlaps at Watkins Glen...

[Kenny Blankenship]

Hey all, wonder if you guys could help.

Ive got it all set up here, and Im using the Glen as my practice bed to get a feel for these cars. Using a Sebring GT3 setup, Im running the #67 911 GT3 round the Glen at about 1:14 average. 1:14-15 laps are when im conserving tyres, I can get down to a consistant 1:12s on fast laps. Is this in the ball park? Or is there more I can squeeze outta the GT3? Will probably take a GT2 911 out later and see what happens. Bearing in mind I remember racing GroupC cars there, and the average laptimes were just under a minute if I remember right.

slightly below 0:54 is current lap record for GroupC cars at Watkins Glen; average race laps had been in the 0:56-0:57 range.

I'd expect the GT2s to be about 10sec, and the GT3s about 15 secs slower here, considering the known laptime relationship on some other tracks

So yes, I'd guess soem 1:12 GT3 lap looks pretty much ok to me.
But I'm no very good in estimating laptimes, I have to say... with GroupC mod, i had been some 2-3 sec off most of the time, comparing practice and race laptimes. Looks like I never push sufficiently in practice

having read the above, i tried the glen with a gt3 porsche and i was in the 1:11-1:12 bracket after making a setup. So that seems ok; i did sneak in one high 1:10 so you should be fine.

Cheers. Any chance you could ping over the setup? Bearing in mind Im using basically the standard Sebring setup which came with the mod.
Imma go back out there now, see what I can do.
