Donington changes - affect on lap times?

[Birdthom]

How much quicker should a lap of Donington be now that the chicane has changed? This is for a low-powered e30 lapping just under 1m30s.

Thanks.

ETA - I'm thinking of the national layout.

It will really depend upon whether you decide to have 4 wheels on the car, or 3!! Those Clios seem to be reasonably quick on 3 wheels!!

Less rolling resistance that way, eh?

over 1 sec

Sounds about right to me, maybe more I'd guess.

I was at a meeting at the end of last season where everyone seemed to go 2-3 seconds quicker! Quite umbelievable really but thats what it was!

[Birdthom]

I hope not or I'm going to be well off the pace!!!

You'll be fine. Keep your nose clean and a top ten is on the cards, maybe more... I can see the headline in the Birmingham Post: "Local hotshoe stuns Clio champion with dominant drive"

My first drive there will be quali so I'll be well down the order (no change there I guess). Good news for you as you won't have me holding you up like at Brands.

See you there

Bring it on!
