So I was sitting up after UFC watching youtube videos when I started going over laps and stuff.

I thought it would be totally awesome to compare wu watt, axial pro, and I over the tmp roadcourse

So I started by breaking tmp into 4 sectors.


Then I made this awesome chart.

-----------Axial Pro---------2TH PWR-----------Wu-Watt
S1----------23.29------------24.25----------------25.46
S2----------22.20------------22.32----------------22.92
S3----------17.58------------17.22----------------18.93
S4----------21.03------------20.93----------------21.38
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tot 1:24.10 1:24.72 1:28.69

And I tried to make a video. Some mistakes entering the captions, but I wasn't about to go back and edit them when they are pretty close, and the real intent is comparing lines etc.

And here's a Gallardo Spyder running 1:44-1:48 range.

What an amazing piece of work and analysis. Thanks for the time and effort. I guess this is what happens when we can't go outside and drive!

I was thinking earlier that it would rock if we could could enter the GPS data into a driving simulator and then actually practice on a virtual TMP...now that would improve lap times!

This exercise certainly shows the value of the POV cameras. My new one for next year is a Contour +. It features built-in GPS and the ability to add a wired mic. This means that it'll overlay your drive against Google Earth imagery on playback and offer perfect speed info along the way. Too cool. Plus we can say goodbye to wind noise.

Still hunting for the ultimate wheel and tire deal -may just go new.

Thanks again 2TH - incredible!

Ya thats cool 2th. I figured my lap time to be a 1:29 so I was in the ball park.
I wasnt pushing 100% I might add. I could have shifted into 2nd in a couple corners but I just took it easy in 3rd. I was also on Volks with street tires on a cool day...
I know I can be faster... Ya hear? lol
If im not worthless all next year im goin to try to get track wheels/tires. But I gotta drive there on em so ill likely get R888's.. Not real track tires...

*Guy in Lambo sucks.

 

We should make a sticky east canada thread for laptimes around Ontario.


I also picked up a gopro2 a couple of weeks ago. Bring on spring!!
