pistonbroke Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Just reading Aughtosport BRDC Mclaren awards test on this track. They list target times for different points around the circuit for each car Each of the 6 young hopefull contender gets to drive :- 18laps in DTM cars 18laps in BTCC cars 30 laps in World series cars Before the test they where set loose in cateringvans to familiarise themselves with the track . No actual times posted but target times are listed which might prove interesting to some of you track oriented types . Just wondered where a good Wessy might fit in with the targets Riches Corner caterham 4th gear 87mph BTCC 4th 98mph DTM 5th 116mph World series 5th 125mph Russel cat 2nd 40mph BTCC 2nd 55mph DTM 1st 55mph WS 2nd 58mph Sear corner cat 3rd 56mph BTCC 2nd 64mph DTM 3rd 69mph WS 3rd 70mph Revett Straight cat 130mph BTCC 143mph DTM 160mph WS 163 mph Target LAP TIMES cat 1m 21s BTCC 1m 12s DTM 1m 02s World Series 57s Most of the drivers comments where directed at the speed and handling of the DTM and World series cars !

Keith Scarfe Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 A Westfield to BARC regs is 1.19 around Snetterton. I cant remember my fastest but it must be low 19's. The fastest lap there this year was 1.19.330 by Nick Flowers. Taken from here Have a look at the Britsports times as well for your comparison. I did a 1.09 in the Radical Prosport myself and Jonathan Hawkins raced this year. The quick ones in this series will do a 1.03. Britsports times Quote
pistonbroke Posted November 27, 2005 Author Posted November 27, 2005 Interesting times, makes you wonder why the target speed was so low maybe they where basic roadgoing caterham but then why target stebb straight max at 135mph ? seems a bit optomistic ! hopefully there will be a fuller report when the lucky lads get awarded the prize Quote
