yea. those 2 turns. i knocked down my time to 21.20 on my 3rd run, but that involved some braking during those turns. i'm seeing the fastest times at around low 19's. i know i dont have the ***** to drive that aggressive and wreckless, but how can i shave off a few tenths of a second more on my time???

 

Find someone fast and follow their lines.

I noticed that if you cross the start/finish line at a straight angle, you are able to shave a tenth off your laptimes. Unfortunately, you will have to sacrifice the next lap, since it will ruin your entry angle for Turn 1. So, if you feel like you are about to set a fast lap, just go straight at the end and sacrifice the next lap. Great for qualifying.

 

Bringing this back from the dead.

First time at Lemans tonight. Haven't been in a kart or race car for going on two years. Managed a 20.87 fastest lap. Some asshats were holding me up quite a bit, but I had one/two clear laps. I forgot how fun karting can be.

I don't know what this ProScore thing is, but I'm in the 81st percentile! 8,627 of 47,403. That is both awesome and awful.

 

i'm starting to like LMK over GKR. two weeks ago, i went to LMK for my first time in 3 years. i love how little grip there is at LMK. i think i pulled out a 20.43 last thursday and i'm pretty sure i can dip into the 19s with some adjustments.

 

When you get real competition, (or at least your equivalent), LMK kicks way more than GKR. LMK might be shorter and less technical, but there are WAAAY more opportunities to pass.

At GKR, get a bunch of people with similar skills are rarely can people pass.

And don't even get me started on waiting time for GKR and their crappy reservation policy.

 

i agree with you on that.

 

and the amount of asshats holding ppl up @ gkr =[

 

i never had problems passing slow people at GKR. if they are slow, you can easily get them at a corner and every layout at GKR has more than enough corners. the problem is when someone is just slightly slower (around 0.1s) at GKR. you really need to work hard to pass or just push them out of the way, unlike LMK. LMK has more than enough room to make a move on some that's just slightly slower.

 

does anyone here do the enduro runs at LMK? some of my friends are trying to decide whether to go to GKR or LMK on some of the upcoming thursdays. $40 I believe for a good amount of track time.

 

i was invited to do a team Enduro at LMK. 3 drivers for 1 hour. it was tons of fun. i have also done the enduros at GKR. 5 min. quali + 45 min. race. that was some serious track time. it was fun as well.

 

Bumping an old thread, what are people running these days? I pulled an 18.6 on Friday, not my best but decent for a cold night.

As a side note, does anybody have the link to the mc********* thread? I can't find it or search it for whatever reason :[

 

I went on Sunday, ran a few laps with the best an 18.5. The fastest guy in our heat was at a 17.8 , he was lucky enough to make most his passes between the start line and the right at the end of the long straight.

 

I was there on Friday and I pulled a 17.09, almost into the 16s club! Hadn't gone for a while -- we should get an i-club group going!

 

my cousin use to work there he got a 16.4 one of the managers record is like 16.1 or something ridiculous

 

I saw that on the top times thing and I nearly shat myself! 16.1 is stupid fast out there
