As is, the car should run a 2:05 under my power, as I had trouble with traffic. Rear tires are hosed, so couldn't really used 2nd gear without doing spinning the tires. Fresh rubber and some bravery, and I may well see my 2:03 target for 2015.

Like folks probably already know, it is worth mentioning that press cars are often not identical to what we buy off the lot. I spoke with someone on very good authority yesterday at Laguna that the 135i in that video was most likely running more power than stock. I could go into it in more detail but the more I run at LS in my 135i, and then watch that video, the more I also begin to believe this most likely the case. 1:46 is seriously quick.

A time of 1:25 puts that Super Vee between the GTD and PC/GTLM classes. Karl.

I think the words 'mind boggling' came to mind when I first saw that, especially when I compare it to my times.
But on the other hand, Randy is a professional race car driver and is wheeled out by Motor Trend to put down fast consistent laps. He literally does this for a living. So I'd be very interested to hear more about your source, who's saying that 135i was a ringer. It's not unknown with Ferrari being the most suspect. But I didn't think the German companies of BMW, Porsche and MB were inclined to do that. Karl. PS: Here's Motor Trend's Laguna Seca times for the past recent years (and where I got the 135i time). Many of those times were put down by Randy. http://www.motortrend.com/features/laguna_lap/

However, maybe we don't have to rely on anecdotes and conjecture. If the press car was running more power, we can tell by comparing to a stock car (mine). The best section to test this on is the apex of T11 to start/finish. T11 is the slowest corner, offering the least differential in minimum speed relative to driving skill. Comparing the MT video to my best time (bone stock motor, but ZII tires), both cars took almost exactly 10 seconds to cover this distance. If the press car had more power, it would have done it quicker.

So for a full breakdown for anyone interested in how you pull off a 1:46 in a stock 135i at LS, here's what I see:
If we compare the fastest section where driver talent (cornering speed) will make the most difference, that is the apex of T4 to the braking zone for T5 (the pedestrian bridge makes a good reference point). I pulled this off in just about 9 seconds. Randy did it in 8. Considering I had stickier tires, this is substantial. T5-T6 bridge, based on the beginning of the blue/white curb (because MT video doesn't give a good shot of the apex), both times were about 5 seconds. That's good because I always feel slow through T5 but maybe I'm not so bad. T6-T8 (3rd brake marker, or basically the top of the hill) both cars cover the distance in about 11 seconds. Another "phew" moment for me because T6 is a tough corner to get right consistently. T8 (top of corkscrew)-T11 (3rd brake marker) Randy does it in 21 seconds, my video shows 22. Of note here, Randy uses all of the track and then some exiting T10, right out to the very edge of the curb. Lastly then we circle back to start/finish to the apex in T3 (due to camera angles), Randy takes 23 seconds, I take 25. It was close at points prior to that. Thus, I guess I conclude the 1:46 is legit and not the benefit of a more powerful press version of the car. You pull a time like that off by squeezing every little bit out of every corner. Major epiphany, I know.

Had just taken delivery of the car, left the car at appointment for Plastidip earlier that week, but since the paint was less than 6 months old the Dip could not be applied. I picked the car up undipped and covered it with 3 rolls of painters tape. I-25 in colorado roads are know for rock chips.
While I was taping the car a guy from the office park came out and said that's a pretty good practical joke. he assumed we were pranking someone. the car is now happily dipped. |

Upgrade brakes as after 5 laps was getting brake fade. Going to try different pads, thinking EBC yellow and better fluid. Need a harness to hold me in the seat. Car has way more potential than my posted time recorded. I have run this track in a Speed3 with a 1:28 and the 135 has more power, grip, just a way better car in general.

LRP Time
Track: Lime Rock Park
Configuration: Standard Lap Time:1.05.5 Tires: Direzza ZII Fastest lap in this video seems to be midway, the full lap immediately after I pass the blue E90. Car is completely stock with the exception of upgraded tires and ferodo pads. With a little more seat time, I think I can get into the 4's. I'm leaving some speed on the table, especially in the downhill - you can see my frustration in the video as the 944 pulls on me there. I think a faster driver at the instructor level in a stock car would get into 3's and possibly just be able to get into the low 3's but would be hard-pressed to go any faster than that. But, I'd love to be proven wrong. |
