i use a fairly standard setup (just fuel amount and steering ratio changed
for my preference) and have done a 1.08.20 lap at the glen in the lotus
which is quite similar to the eagle im not a particularly fast driver
neither soory to put ou down but i thinbk 1.06-1.17 secs could be managed by
some of the top hotlappers like Wolfgang Woeger

I've done a 1:06.33 with the default setup using the Lotus. I'm sure that it
has at least a 1:05 in it.

I've run mid-1:06s there in the Eagle, but have seen 1:04s from some Eagle
drivers.  The Lotus is capable of very low 1:04s, though I won't rule out
someone hitting the 1:03s.  You can find guys using ferraris in the 1:04s as
well.

I'm sure it's possible in the Lotus, but I am surprised by the Ferrari
part. It's such an unstable car to drive...

I really must start racing with the Lotus, as thus far my best lap
times have been with the Eagle and Honda.

I have managed a 1:06.40 in the Eagle with the only change to the setup
being the fuel load.  I run enough fuel for a Pro Long race.

Good luck!

Wolfgang Woeger has done a 1:03.61 in the Lotus - as far as I know, that
is the current world record.

I found a German website that seems to be where the top drivers hang out
- the times are absolutely sensational!

My reply wasn't a "Shut up, Scott"!  Just giving you something to shoot
for.:-)

When I was running 1:09's at the Glen, I couldn't have imagined 1:06's were
possible for my skill level and the fact that I was running the default
setup.  I would notice that, when practicing, I would hit a stage where I
would "break through".  1:09,..... 1:09,... 1:07,.... 1:07,.... 1:06....
After a bunch of laps, I would find a vital key to improving my lap times
and it was remarkably consistent.  Keep trying! Aim for consistency first,
speed second.  The speed will come with being really consistent.

I drive the Eagle all the time now, and tend to use the default set-up for
hotlapping as its *very* stable (I drop the fuel to 5 laps, but thats
about it?) I have done a 1:06.84 using this set-up, and it *wasn't* a
realy good lap, there are a couple of errors which show up on the replay.
I reckon if I practised hard I might just get into the high 1:05's myself?

However, I think the current fastest for the Eagle is probably a low 1:05
(maybe even a low 1:04) laptime? The Fastest lap in *any* car is currently
in the 1:03's at the Glen.

8-)    Keep practicing.....
