Dell, right now it would be a bit of a guess, but certainly an educated one. Dan was running the NT01s on his 951, and he was staying right with Jim (forklift) on his R6s. Dan has run on my R6s too, and feels that the NT01s are slower, but are easier to drive. I would guess that it would be less than 2 seconds at VIR in the hands of a top driver (who could get the most out of the Hoosiers) and probably less than that (1 second?) from those who feel more comfortable with the Nittos.

So then a 2:10 isn't out of the question for me on the Nitto's, you think? I am just not sure how much of an impact the traffic made on my lap times considering my fastest times were in the 215-216 range and my video playback certianly confirmed this. What I really need is something like Traqmate so I could put together a "hypothertical" best lap based on sector times from various laps.

2:16:4

2:14:68
2:12:86

2:12:43
Dell, here are the times that they were running in that last Sunday session, so seeing the 2:12s, I think that a GT3 on NT01s should be capable of 2:10s, or even a little less.
