No, not enough info.

I was in a similar position to you, sliding on my last set of diablo's and managed a low 58 or two ...

You?

There were no official timings, but I did have my manual lap-timer mounted and showed times similar to yours.

What was strange and somewhat enlightening was that it seemed my fastest laps were the ones where I tried the least!!!! ; .

I diced a few times with a group of guys on various Jap offerings and they said they were lapping in times in the 56 - 59 sec bracket - so there or thereabouts I reckon.

Playing in the fast group with an underpowered bike can be really frustrating, but also great fun when you stuff it up 'em in the corners.

It was really encouraging to tackle paddock without braking, just back her off a bit, drop her down a cog and drive for the apex - a scream!!!!

Nice one.

What do you think your race pace will be?

I made the last bit up about not braking into Paddock, but you can leave it really late if you're on the right line!!!

As for race pace - god knows what mine will be, my racing times appear to have no direct reflection on my laptimes on trackdays.

I reckon I know why too, just gotta find a way of fixing it.

As for other DD'ers, I think that averaging 58's will get you into the top ten. You'll need to be sub 1 min for a top 15 spot and the leaders will be circa 53 - 55 ?? Just my guess though.

I reckon it will be quicker than that mate.

I reckon you'll need to be low 57's maybe 56's to get into the top ten, with the odd 55 here and there. The leaders in the 52's.
