ICR fast laps

: 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. 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. A rather sheepish Alan

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 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr Alan Pengelly, Project Manager, Software Engineering Laboratory B81 161 27, BT Laboratories, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich IP5 7RE. tel : +44 1473 646652 The views/opinions expressed here are my own and do not in any way reflect the views/opinions of my employer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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. --- * TLX v4.10 * "Frankly my dear, I don't give a download!" -Rhett Sysop --- * OLX 2.2 TD *
