I'd expect better than that.
Either way, most/all trackdays the companies are not insured for people to be timing their laps so this is all guess work i'd imagine. |
lol Alistair, didn't know you frequented this place
Timing at track days is restricted for some reason I can't unplug my DL1 so it seems to record GPS data....etc...
Not sparking a "what is quicker round a track" fight - I am a biker first and a car racer second. A club racer beating 55 seconds is doing that on full slicks, full race Elise versions are knocking on the door of 45 seconds round Indy. Also 1 min 2 secs is 10% slower than 55 seconds (approx) so the bike would get lapped by the car every 8 laps and knocking 7 seconds of your time is actually quite hard to do.
if you are talking standard cars vs bikes then it depends on what you call a standard car. Remember that a well set up Elise driven with commitment will catch a Porky GT3 driven by a less-committed driver. My Lotus is road legal aswell so still counts as being a road car, albeit somewhat track focussed.
Surely some of the track day regulars can post times at Brands Indy. All I was saying was that at the 'Ring only very rarely does a bike go past me and I tend to get seriously held up by the bikes. I remember vividly last year following a bike (Blade I think) into a turn and he had his knee down and was trailing sparks and I was not travelling at maximum speed so could have cornered faster etc...
