350doc Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 While I was getting my suspension fitted at Big Phil's, someone from the site asked me what the benchmark ringtimes were (I said I'd look into it). I checked with my mate, and he can do it in c. 8 mins 45 seconds (He won his Zed racing on a Playstation); he said the benchmark was c. 8' 20".

tmJak Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 it was me. not a bad time 8:45, guess he must have been going some to do that. is this the same mate with a supercharger fitted? i'd be lucky to get round in 10 mins!! - although i can smash that time on my playstation so i must be a good driver imo the ring is a true all out test of a cars performance, and if the zed can do it in 8:20 potentially, then that's only 1 minute slower than the quickest production car (there or there abouts). cheers for that Michael. appreciate it and hope the kw is treating you well chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350doc Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 He does it in a GT4, normally aspirated. He can do it in under 10 minutes in a Ford Focus Diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF your mate is a hawaii shirt wearing lucky bugger and if he win's the GTR the same way will lose a lot of mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
