Managing reasonably consistent 1m29s here on low fuel. I ought to be in to the 28s before the race, but I think I'm quite a bit off the pace at this place.
Anyone else?
Cheers, Ross

That's not too bad Ross.
The really fast guys will be around high 1:26 / low 1:27 in qually and about 0.5s slower with fuel.

Similar pace here - on race fuel I got down to a 1:29.2 last night, but that steward of a chicance always seems to knacker my lap....
I'm aiming for consistency rather than outright pace - it's done me alright in the Mazda thus far this season.

Nevermind, i was happy with my 1.30.3 last night. Using Dan's setup from Brands which has helped transform the car for me.

I'll be getting some laps in tonight, I suspect I will also be slow.
Infineon takes me even longer than usual to prepare for.

I qualified and raced on iR last night. It was all a bit rushed cos I'm away for the weekend and I have been otherwise engaged tonight, so it was my only chance. I was quite pleased with a qually time of 27.9 but my race was pretty poor. I lost about 3 or 4 places being cautious at T1/T2 (but better than crashing out I suppose), but I just gradually made my way to the back from then on in!! Tyres went right off and I also got my usual Infinion puncture near the end. Trail braking and locking up I presume. But how do you make good times without doing that??? My best race time was 28.6

I got into the 1:29's pretty easily last night but then couldn't go any faster, that was with race fuel.

Low 1:28's now. I tried an official race last night and got taken out on the first lap by two idiots trying to go side-by-side through T2/T3

Some improvements, but still low 28's, looks like that's pretty much it for race pace. My second attempt at an official race was a belter after battling with a fellow Englishman for half the race

1.29's in race fuel for me! Managed a 4th in a public race! Thought I hated this track but it's brilliant in the Mazda!

Still not a fan of this track, 28.3 in Q trim is as fast as I can go. Would think I will be 1-1.5 seconds off that with race fuel. My setup (stable as always) is on the Team Shark website if anyone wants a slow but stable one.

After a fairly significant effort, I just can't break 1:29 in my race set-up That'll probably be my last practice before the race unfortunately.
