I like this new thread!

Track name: VIR FULL
Track location: Alton, VA
Lap time: 2:16.34
Year/model: 2017 GTi Sport
Estimated total vehicle weight with driver: 3350
Estimated wheel horsepower: APR low torque tune
Fuel: 93
Tire size and model: NT01’s 255-40-17
Estimated ambient temperature: ?? Cool
Notes on setup (turbo, suspension setup, rain, frightened, etc.): Ohlins, PowerBrake BBK

This video has my previous fastest lap of 2:17.1 on stock 220hp and stock suspension before my low torque APR STG1 tune and Ohlins install. NT01 tires as above. When you start getting into the teens, you are pushing pretty hard. The extra power helps less than you think and makes one a little lazy in the corners. Makes me respect spec Miata drivers even more. They are running 2:15’s around VIR on Hoosier slicks.

When you guys are using harrys lap timer, what are you using to mount your phones in the car?

 

[Mini7]

Ram suction mount, with clip in hard case. Limits vibration. Still not great for video but is more stable to keep Harry’s somewhat accurate.

Same setup here but have been using Harry's only for the data and not video.

I don't have a camera on board (Mine went flying off my car on a suction cup mounted outside the car at the track and was never recovered) ANd I only recentlygot an AIM SOLO unit to record GPS. I have the data from both of these if anyone wants it.

Thanks, Jay. The lap times are definitely welcome. At this point, I think I speak for all of us when I say we consider you an honorary member of the Mk7 forums Your contributions are much appreciated!

Edit: Btw, that is a great time at Gingerman. I have a friend who was lapping his Exige S there a few weeks ago and getting mid-low 1:50s

Thanks lol. As a saving grace - I work on much more mk7's these days than mk6's. The mk6 base is dwindling and all of the new customers have upgraded.
