Not too sure to be honest I don't know much about Infineon, I am told it's the same config ran by NASA with a short 7 if that means anything?

I am not sure the times mean too much for us really, we ran a total of 8 hot laps and had some severe issues with intermitant power steering causing our driver some obvious distress. Couple that with a bad front shock and no setup time so we didn't want to push things too hard.

We'll get a new steering rack into the car tomorrow or Monday and we have a replacement shock in the works prior to our departure for Subiefest on Friday so fingers crossed all will be good for then.

You got me on that one mate, I would imagine a Veyron would smoke our little old jallopy.

Yeah, but you would have had to have VIDEO for anyone to believe you. Otherwise, they would all think you took a picture right before the Enzo LAPPED the L.

Short 7 is so fun to drive. With short 7 and fast 9/10 a good time in a Russell is in the lower 1.40's, and I think Iv seen as low as a 1.37.

running 9a (chicane) bumps it up around the mid to upper 1.40's
