Matt H Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 That second site said "we can laugh at the LF-A's lap times" So what is it? good performance in relation to lap time or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hmmm, that's odd. Very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Reading that N24 site, the start position was 14th.. so it must have been pretty nippy and looking at some of the other machines that made it into the top 10, they look like out and out race cars rather than some road car lightened and prepped for track.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Price tags north of £50k make me loose interest pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sites i've read say it didnt do very well but on here we are saying it did do well. Is there not a definitive answer anywhere? what was the porshe GT3 getting per lap?

SUPRASUZUKI Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I only get started at over £50k I'll have to wait for another 10 year old import I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Do well compared with what tho? The cars that won? Hopefully TTE might have a write up. 50k? lol the IS-F costs more than that so this one is gonna near be double I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Well there are various different classes in GT racing.. so its apples and oranges... like I said in my previous post. I dont know what class it was in, but I very much doubt it was in the same as most of those that finished in the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Go have a look at the site Ivan or Michael posted.. I'm sure there some more info I found the winners were qualifying in 8:26 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hmmm, that's odd. Looks like you might have registered on the site Steve. Go have a look at the site Ivan or Michael posted..

Thorin Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Did the LFA really take 2 hours on its 7th lap or is that a typo? When it was on form, 9:20's-30's is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 13 261 BMW 320d 137 24:04:22.934 Am I missing something there? A 2ltr BMW diesel coming 13th?? endurance? lack of fuel fill ups? its not all about going round each lap the fastest, just making sure you cross the finish line first, and i suppose if you dont have to stop as many times that stands you in better stead. didnt a diesel vauxhall VX something win it the other year? that was diesel. so there is something to be said about that tactic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
