Lightning Lap Times

Interesting lap times, big difference between the 2008 and 2011 due to the LSD.....

Hmmmm. Can't believe a BMW 335 is faster than the original ISF.

Scratch head.

Its 0-60 is 5.4 seconds, but I assume the BMW has a LSD? Shows the difference it makes on the track.

Sorry 335is is 4.6 0-60. Above is 335i sport line.

Or even stranger is an IS350 being quicker than an original ISF.

Which track is this?

I think this is it @Mark G

I came from a 335i to a 2008 ISF.  The ISF is a lot quicker.  The 335i runs out of puff after 5000rpm.  Its over 100bhp down on it and also weighs about the same.  It doesn't have an LSD either unless that one in particular had an aftermarket one fitted.

Time gap between 2008 and 2011 seems too big.  I think at Tsuksuba (spelling) the time difference was 2 seconds although it is a shorter track.

Is it feasible that certain tracks will suit certain cars? If it's got a fair amount of power upto 5,000rpm, thanks to the turbo, it might do OK in the slower parts of a track and keep up with the F.

Huge amount of variations come into play with 'lap times ' to numerous to mention here

And when you have a vast list like that of different vehicles it's all pretty academic anyway

Personally I don't put much stock in these things, great fun doing it though a great rush 🙂

Nah.  The thing is you see with the 335i (mine especially) is that it wouldn't complete a lap of even a Supermarket car park before jumping into limp home mode ;-)  I think someone did this on Forza ;-)

Mine would wear through its tyres, all four on the Inner surfaces faster than Trump can say 'your fake that's fake news '🙄
