Breaking 1:30 at Monza

I've done 1:28s in the Lotus,and 1:29s in the Eagle. But I recently went back to the Brabham which I find the most fun to drive. The only problem is that I'm so slow in it compared to the Lotus and Eagle. I just managed to get down to the low 1:31s and see 1:30s coming. But I can't imagine breaking 1:30 with the Brabham at Monza. Joel Willstein

You'll get there, just keep practicing. I'm down to 1.29.15 with alot of practice and now i'm looking for the elusive 1.28. Sid.

I've done a 1:30.15 with the Brabham, so there's probably a high 1:29 in it for me somewhere. Also, given the fact that every time I feel fast in something I run across somebody else who is a second faster than me, I'd venture a guess that someone has done low 1:29's with the Brabham. -Chris- Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Chris, So there is hope !! I ran a few online races last night and one of them was at Monza. I ended up on the pole with a 1:31.25. And managed to stay in the led for 4 laps running consistant low 1:31s. Then a Lotus took me out while trying to out brake me. Joel Willstein

Oops! I meant to say that I've done 1:29.15 in the Brabham, and that there's probably a high 1:28 in there. It usually takes me four or five laps to get me into the 29's, and during a race, I usually settle down to a 29.6 to 29.9 time range. I used to run the whole course with just 3rd, 4th and 5th gears since I run out of gear in 2nd between the Lesmos, but I knocked a couple of tenths off by acutally using 2nd in both Lesmos and the Parabolica. I guess the extra grunt out of Lesmo 2 and Parabolica when using 2nd pays off down the straight. -Chris- Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
