I think fastest radar speed was around 80mph.
My wrx wagon hit 74mph at the end of either straight. Overall lap time was ~60 seconds with that. Fastest car time there is around 55 or 54 seconds I believe.

The long straights terminate with tight terms, so acceleration or maintaining momentum is key. I'd assume a formula car would maintain speed much better on this course. No idea how they accelerate.

This vid with data overlay should give you an idea. Wrx wagon(2.0), with stock motor, full exhaust, stock suspension, and RE01r tires.

Quick question to figure out if I need to go shopping this week. What helmets are you accepting?

There's a slight chance I'll make SLMP with the "new" car. Currently hinging on getting my Mother to come up and watch the girls, and figuring out a truck/trailer option to get the car there and back... I will have just picked it up, and not sure I want to take the chance of driving it round trip... I'm about 80% sure my Mother can come up, and ?% on the towing issue. Seth is using my trailer, which I will not back out on, and not sure my truck is ready for the pull... So if anyone has a spare truck and trailer to loan, I'd be incredibly grateful 8)

Is there a possibility of another SLMP this year?

Just wondering as things are not looking good for me making it to this one. Moving is expensive :(

Looks like I got a kitchen pass to go. Will be arriving late(ish) but I'll be there. Entry and check sent in the AM. Now I gotta go tire shopping!
