Oppps!

Sorry, I've just noticed that its 242 not 247 - my print out was a bit obscure.
Still pretty good going though - but clearly not impossible.

Hi

I've just downloaded the fast lap times for ICR. I've got to admit
that some of them seem quite astonishing. My question is `are these
standard  set ups with no added patches?'. The reason I ask this is that
the fatest lap at Michigan is something like 247mph. The other night
I thought I'd do a little test. I set my wing at the absolute minimum
and set up my gear ratios so that I would peak at the end of a straight -
my interest was in the maximum entry speed, regardless of whether I could
hold it on the curve. My chassis/engine was a Penkse93/Cosworth combination.
The maximum speed I achieved was about 249 mph. To average 247 mph you
would have to maintain this speed virtually through the whole curve. If
these fast lap times are achieved with no more than is available with
the standard ICR package then I'm very impressed.

BTW I am relatively new to ICR.

cheers

Alan

Don't worry.  On Milwaukee, I, for some reason, always manage to average
a speed faster than any speed I run at during the lap, including at an entry
to a turn.  Strange.
