Hi,

I was looking at the lap times for this years 24 hour le mans. The pole was 3 mins 30 seconds. They do use the 13 km circuit (where a production car is generally considered fast if it can go under 8 minutes) don't they?

If yes, that effectively means that the average speed is over twice as fast as cars such as Carrera GT which I think do it somewhere between 7 minutes and 7.30!!!! Even the Porsche GT3's do it in around 4 minutes. That's freakishly fast!!!

I definitely want to go and see it one day. Not necessarily because of the speed, but because of the cars on show. Ferrari's, Porsche, and their the slow ones.

Wish it was on TV.

Cheers

nah you've got it confused, 8 min is the Nurburgring time everyone is aiming for :D

And the bugatti/le mans circuit has 2 totally different layouts short and long so you may be comparing the wrong ones. The quickest cars would not be more than 20% quicker than the GT cars.

Also.....one day I will do either le mans (or more likely) Nurburging 24hrs, I love enduro racing and it would be a brilliant experience, I've done some 20 lap night races but imagine a 2 hour night stint! I just need to hold off on a year's normal racing budget for one race ;)

    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event. 
    • Hi Cody, If you are looking for a simple "bolt in bolt out" solution, I may be able to help via trade. I'm swapping my auto RS4V from stock subframe to a reinforced S14 Rear subframe specifically for track duty. I was looking into different rear core options while the car was in air and I found your thread.   My VLSD rear is freshly changed fluid/inspected. I will say even with Redline diff fluid it is still not as aggressive as I would like with the "sports" viscous core, and coming from a heavily modded evo with full drivetrain I'm looking for a bit more rotation with the throttle.  I second this, the polyurethane bushings are pretty aggressive as is.  If you're interested in the trade, I am driving out to Chicago in September for a time attack event. I could swing by and make the trade somewhere Sept 12-13th or 15-16th if you are interested and you have not already solved this issue yourself. 
    • No, the panel filter is the standard dry one. Yes, I did clean the AFM with electrical contact cleaner.
