my mechanic was pretty bowled over when I told him I did a 1:01 at LRP. He told me I should get some sort of trophy when I break 1:00 in the 512TR  | ||

This is the road car I am referring to. Pretty awesome to think u can do 1:00 at LRP with the AC & tunes on Well not really but in theory u could. The "hulk" is turning into a nice race car, cage is done, bodywork is coming along hopefully will b done by January for Cavallino. The race car should be doing low 0:50s at LRP when its done The track record is 0:47 by a GTP car back in the early 90s | ||

Hey, Will. Good to see you here. Is this the "Street" 512TR of yours or the hulk that you once bought? Just curious. | ||

I started the season around 1:05, always ran the Pirelli P Zero Challenge slicks. Before this weekend my best time was 1:03 with the old crappy brakes. I probably could have done a 0:59 with the new brakes but the track was very slippery from oil & gas from the vintage weekend just before my weekend, Also lots of traffic & I am still getting used to the new brakes so lower times r coming next season for sure. | ||

Out of curiosity: what times did you run before the new brakes? and was this set of runs on usefully similar tires? | ||

figured out I bruised my ribs on my left side from the cornering forces the days I did the 1:01, pretty serious Gs going on | ||

Congrats William! You are definitely having too much fun. My TR has been in the shop for two weeks now while I wait for parts, and I am bored to death. I am glad somebody else is having a good time with his Ferrari. | ||

Got the old 512TR to do 1:01:56 at LRP today, was going pretty dam fast on the uphill, fast as I dared downhill braking at the 4.5, the new brakes r much better at LRP than stock & they never overheated once. The tires melted of course but I passed a Porsche 911 Turbo race car, 2 Z06s, a new 911 GT3 & a new 911 GT2 with 580hp vs my 460. Now the brakes r great the engine was always great. Got to do some suspension work to get down to 0:59 or 0:58 with Matt |
