you gonna come watch us and stff?

 

i say we have the main event eddie vs lawsome

 

i want a handicap, i opt to only run 91octane fuel, eddie can run whatever he wants i recommend 110

 

run 93 + octane booster hahahah

 

hey its just going to make it sweeter for me

 

Since we are going to be timing our runs this time. Lets use a couple of references as a benchmark

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=117762

A stock WRX ran a 1:36.45 lap time. Since none of us are pro drivers lets come up with an easier number 1:40.


Now the ideal time to be faster than is 1:40 for the WRX.

Now not all car's are equal. Some are stock, some have mods. So we need to figure out a way to establish a time penalty handicap.

A good example is Lawson vs Kenji

Lawson's car is stock, except tires.

Kenji's is modified, coil overs brakes tires. How many seconds should we deduct off of his time? I'm guessing half a sec to 1 at the most.

any ideas?

 

i say 1.5 seconds

 

John brought up a good point to me earlier.

At a past event John and Ed were on the track.

Ed was driving my legacy. Only mod on it was the WRC tarmac tires Michellin F22.

Those were indeed cheater tires. John was able to pull away on the straights but because of the grip potential of the legacy, Ed was capable of out turning and out braking on a stock car because of the tires.

John wasn't slow, he was indeed fast but the tires made the difference. Something like this I would deduct 5 penalty seconds.

 

dont forget to add how heavy each of them are plus how good they can catch a pincle if you tossed one at them.

 

what about weight reduction?

 

won't go into that much detail, it's not pro racing


just simple stuff like if you car has R compounds

coilovers, brakes. weight isn't really a huge concern

 

sweet who is gonna rock cheater slicks?

 

i can order the you the f22s if your STI motor will be in for the event

 

i did some research on avg times on wrx and sti's
WRX- sample of 51 laps, 1:42
STi- sample of 85 laps, 1:40

 

yeah, on the tarmac tyres you will be able to out brake anybody on street tires no question, even in the legacy stock brakes/weight. the tires were ****ing great
