Default what is a good time at autobahn north.

So yesterday was my first time using a timer and i ran a 1.13.993 on the north track but the whole day my times were right around 1.14.3. I was just wondering if this is a decent time

I think I ran 1:14 or so at MCSCC timetrials event last year.

It was a standing start, single lap on cold tires. FWIW, I drive a C5 Z06 with scrubs, Carbotech pads, T1 anti sway bars and an alignment. Not sure how much to subract for flying laps on hot tires.

Here is a link to MCSCC track records at AB North. Pretty much all the cars were running on R compound tires.

Are your times decent? They certainly seem OK without knowing what you drive etc.

Good to see you're out there still tearing it up!

It's important to let the crowd know what tires you are running.

With an advanced driver (not a pro):

A bone stock C5 Z06 will run 1:12s and with Hoosiers 1:10s.

A bone stock C6 Z06 will run 1:10s and with Hoosiers 1:08s.

The car I gave you a ride in runs 1:02s.

If you were consistent, that's the main target. From there it's a lot easier to shave speed.
