wat? i did 45 in my na!

Just saw this thread - http://www.mr2australia.com/MR2play/tm.aspx?&m=11419&mpage=1
How can you do a 45 at Marulan when you do a 1m20s at Wakefield?
I have done a 1m19s at Wakefield in my old VS Commodore V6 with street tyres, auto and stock suspension!

Having no idea on tracks but how does it compare to Winton ?
 
What times are being done ?
 
 
OOPs saw the thread.
 
JFI my builder does 1.20 at Winton in 2 liter class N/A . I guess he is very fast

That would be the short track for that time at Winton.
Comparison: 1.31 at Winton (long) is around 1.04 at Wakefield and around mid to late 1.30's at EC (at a guess). Dont know about Marulan.
What did the Celica do at EC and Wakefield?
 

Short track no idea will ask but its up there with the V8's

B24
What did the Celica do at EC and Wakefield?

At a wild guess, The Celica would do maybe 1m58s at EC? 59 maybe.
At Wakefield I reckon it could do a 1m 15-16s
This is with street tyres
For comparison, I had my stock standard S15 with old semis at Wakefield and it did a 1m14.1s
 
A 45s lap at Marulan would equate to a 1m12-13s or so, not 1m20s

Be kind. That Wakefield figure was posted in December 2008 with the comment "Not bad for a first track day". Guessing that both the driver and car have been considerably improved since then. I don't know many people who wouldn't be happy with a 1.20 at wakefield on their first track day

Sorry - I just can't see a NA SW20 being 2 seconds quicker than a GT4 at Marulan, and I can drive!
 
and.... there is no way that a reasonably stock NA SW20 street car can do 1m12-13s at Wakefield
 

But remember it was you who posted the comment "Surok has got me wondering if I'm slow or not."
and Jeff Denmeade ran in the 38s in his EVO (awesome)
I managed a 49 sec in MDTCs hire standard 220000km pls BMW 325, not having driven a car in anger or even a manual car since 1982. Loved the experience. Inspired me to buy my MR2 for the 2GR conversion.
Also Marulan is really a small, tight, handling track. Never driven a GT4 but I did my research and decided on the MR2 over the GT4 because of its handling prowress

Hand timimg usually in use at Marulan (except for JMP) can help or hinder times also

My GT4 is stock and I was running standard boost at Marulan and I was 2 seconds quicker than you in the 325. That makes sense to me.
The GT4 should be quicker than the 325 on that track.
I still can't see how a NA SW20 would be 4 seconds quicker than you. That's a big difference on a short track.
BTW that EVO time is insane. Those cars are in another class totally to everything else. Amazing cars.
I'll back off on you Surok - if you really did do the 45s then kudos to you mate. Nice work.
