Knockhill times

[Gman7781]

Hey guys gonna be doing a few laps round knockhill for the first time ever was wondering what good times where? My boss goes there frequently in a heavily modded carrera4 and does like 58 secs or summit. Iv no delusions of going that fast, but was curious what others hav done?

I drive a standard FN2

Cheers

when are you going up mate?...not really sure about times for a lap...was there twice last month with the teg.you`ll love it!...i did mean to try and check a couple of laps,but got too carried away!

[Gman7781]

Not sure dude, my family has bought me a day out there (I think) so I'll need to wait and see. Can't wait, should b fun

when i had my fn2 on track n standard trim(my first time on track with it) I was doing 1.13's and in my FD2 i am now doing 1.05's but its not about the times mate just go out and have fun! if you start trying to beat the clock you'll end up in the kitty litter!

yep.

Good time for an EP3 would be about 1:05, an FN2 will be several seconds slower. DC2's are slightly slower than EP3's round Knockhill, better track car but the better EP3 straight line speed means it's a bit quicker round KH.

Donald did a 57 sec lap in his Evo, which is pretty impressive. I had a series of laps filmed in heavy traffic showing up low 1:02.

Worth remembering tracktimes will vary greatly from day to day, weather, rubber on track, humidity, temp all add up to a pretty significant effect on times.
Also where KH position the cones and markers for corners can really slow you down, I reckon there is a least half a second of time to be found or lost depending how much scenery KH let you take through the chicane.

So when you going on track?

Its all about the times!

My standard DC2 does high 1.05 on road tyres, timed on a stopwatch so not exactly high tec.

you been spying on me! had a wee backwards trip into said stuff on tues night i blame the lack of brakes ....not sure about the straight line advantage of an ep3 though Kenny,dont think that comes into until quite well into 3 figures and that was me seeing between 115-120 on start/finish straight(not bad for a wee 1....still massive fun and so addictive

[Gman7781]

I'm not overly worried by times, I'm just hoping to have fun and maybe become a better driver. Just wondering how bad my times will be that's all :-p

You must be mega slow through the corners mate as my speedo is only showing 100-105mph on the start/finish straight

Thats still 4th gear in a DC2 eh?

Unless someone has slipped a supercharger in without you noticing then your speedo is broken

I can get 109mph on a gps which is approx 118mph on the clock.

Yeah mate, i take Duffus in 4th as otherwise i am hitting the limiter in 3rd on the little left at the bottom of Duffus, also into 4th quickly on the little back straight then back into 3rd for the right

yeah,i know thats just on the clock so not gonna be particularly accurate,and also depends how good i was getting out of the hairpin(to be honest,still to find a quick way out of it!)...mike,do you mean the wee straight between the chicane at the top of the hill and the right hander just before the long back straight?...if so,then found that a pain! was pretty much in and straight back out of fourth there.really fancy being on track with a few of you boys who have been a few times to check out/follow some decent lines.have to say though,the cone postitioning by the staff last time out did help
