Watkins Glen Lap Times?

[burtonbraves]

I'm curious as to what other people get on this track, not revamped or SFB, original track.

My best is 1:18.745

 

[2448fan4life]

My best is 1:20.129 without setups and with gamepad

 

[burtonbraves]

Just got a 1:18.665

Being my favorite road course, I believe I'm a bit conservative. I've ran in the 1:18's, but usually the 1:19's. Whenever I try to push a corner a bit, I just can't get it to stick and will go into the sand.

Same problem, coming out of the loop I have to go really slow and that's what kills my lap times.

 

[Janitor Dave]

I can hit easy high 1:12s with the Expert setup. But then again, I really love road courses

I'll make a replay of my lap when I get some time tomorrow.

I'm not the brightest, so I don't use custom setups, I just use whatever came with the game, haha. 1:12 sounds impressive, though.

I am European and was raised on F1 and WTCC, so road coures are in my blood
But seriuously speaking, I will try to make 1.11 and post a video.

I just ran an 1:18.582 in a testing session and i'm pretty proud of that. Of the 7 laps i ran only one is more than 1:20 so that was pretty good. Also how much shifting do you guys do? I run most of the course in third with brief periods of 4th coming out of the esses, the loop and the front stretch. I also have a few moments in second notably after the first turn, bus stop and entering the front stretch.

I ran a 1.15.606 earlier today...

 

[K.Chuck]

been running the glen for the last few weeks. I am consently in the 1:15-1:17 bracket using the h patern shifter, in sequential I am a little faster but its a lot less fun. I can qualify around mid 1:13 but thats about it for my top time.

 

[tha0ne]

First lap I completed I ran a 1:14:823 with the Jasper setup. I left a lot on the table in the last turn.

 

[wslates]

Just went into a testing session, ran a lap, and got a 1:17.46. My best so far. Without changing a thing with the setup. I will post a video in a sec.

 

[HMAC80]

I've ran under 1:10 before, but I cannot promise that the track isn't modified. I may have modified it a while back and forgot. Grip levels are still normal, though.

Nice to see that people still run in Arcade mode.c.c

 

[wslates]

A lap I ran today...1:15.358. My fastest lap so far. I abused the heck out of the car though. c.c

If you're talking about me, you're wrong.

 

[Kevin_McAdams]

I've ran a 1:11 maybe once. But typically I hit 1:12s when I league race where ever I am.

sure was quick, but that set up/aggression wouldn't see him last a race, must of been a Q, the thing was taped up to the max, temp light came as he croossed the finish line

personally in cup with open set ups i can run a race pace around 1.12.5's, i have only ever run gns physics there with a fixed set up, that had to much front brake for my liking, so my race pace was in the high 1.13's

all races were online, hardcore, no aids, realistc weather and with incar view

you could pick up about a second and drasticly save your tyres by not turning in so early, you seem to be turning about 15-20 meters to soon.

also you seem to be approching the corners from the middle of the track (especially turn 2 & 10) which is costing you speed on exit. you need to be as far to the outside as you can when you turn into a corner to carry maximum speed through it
