Hey guys I want to get some practice done for this round as this track is really hard on my tire ware. Dave & I are planning some track time on thursday, aug 20 for ~8pmEST if anyone would like to join us.
Maybe we can schedule some pickup events this weekend too, say sat & sun at race time? Post here if you're interested.

estimated average laptimes on schedule page are a little high, I'd guess. I'm rather on the slow end of the field and even I got stable 1:36s once I figured which turn comes next ;D And in case some day I get all the brakepoints right (all on the same lap) I might get down to 1:34s. So in case you're up for top 8, you would probably want to go for something < 1:33 ;D

Fastest lap ever ran on Westhill international is a 1:30.140. This is prolly done with a qualifying setup, so laptimes in the race for the real fast guys should be somewhere in the 1:31 or 1:32's

Maybe one of the TDRT guys will hit a 1:31. Karl and I have earlier this year trained/practiced with the WR holder of Westhill Reverse, Phil Rose, now that guy I would call an Alien. I think a real fast lap for us would be 132, 133's. There's no way I'm gonna be hitting any 131's. So far with doing some practices with Kevin I've hit some 133.1's he's hit some 133 flats he's about ready to hit a 132. At this track it's not about hitting a fast lap, the main focus is more on tire wear and consistent lap times..

Rather about tire temps than about tire wear... front right tire. At least on my car ;D

I'm somewhat happy with my time, I'm still burning my tires but I'm starting to figure out how to keep them in line, lot of setup work still to do. I'm not a fast guy I just put in a lot of laps, 831 to get to that time and I'm not happy with it, I need more track time

Seems to me your lap times are very consistent , and 8hundred 31 is alot of laps . I think my best was a 1:46
Good luck to Your team on Raceday.............
