Default Looking for data from Road America E cars

I am looking for max speed on the 3 main straight at RA from an E car from this years PCA race. I will be running there with NASA in a few weeks and am trying to trim my car. Also any minimum speed in the corners leading onto the 3 main straights would be great too as well as T1 min speed.


Thanks in advance!!!

Here is some data from my 2010 Road America race.
I was running as a 84 911 F prepared with a chipped 3.2. In this configuration my car and Mark Hupfer's Euro SC were pretty much equal on the straights at many races that year. My time in qualifying was a 2:35.7. Looking at the data from that lap-- the max/min speeds are basically identical to the 2:36.2, except I carry more speed through T7 and the carousel.

This is data is from a 2:36.2 lap time.
T1 max 130// min 76
T3 max 104// min 66
T5 max 131//min 50
T11 min 108
T12 max 132// min 56
T14 min 68

Here is a video link from Fred C's car showing this race, Mark and I are right in front of him. Fred is running a USA SC in E prepared for this race. The 944's are both Turbos.

Doug. Thanks a lot that is what I am looking for. I ran a 2:37 there last yr and set the gts2 class record. But, I am not getting anywhere near 130 infraction I'm not over 125/126 on gps speed. I am wondering if our aero is limiting our top speed?

Here are my GPS speeds for a 2:37.5
T1 max 122.0 Min 71.3
T3 max 105.8 min 64.7
T5 max 128.0 min 53.1
Kink 107.3
Canada corner max 127 min 59.9
Looks like I need to suck it up and off the brake and on the throttle a little quicker in most places!

I had a very good weekend at Road America. I was able to continuously lower my PB and ended up with a 2:34.77!!

I was able to add over 6mph to my max T1 and 2.2 mph to my min at the kink. I am almost flat at the kink!!

Awesome track
