1:48s at Hungaroring: does that make me slow?

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Thanks but what are you specifically suggesting? I have always had trouble with longer corners such as T5 (like at Tsukuba or Fuji). I typically try to use the brakes to load the front tires to get the grip to turn but that doesn't really help in longer corners. I end up in an in between state where I am going slow but if I add more throttle I induce understeer. I've been attempting to trail brake more into T5 so I can go off the brakes later and gain more grip at exit with varying degrees of success.

 

I uploaded the Motec files for the session that I got the 1:46.588 in if anyone wants to take a look or has tips on how to analyze it.

If I'm going for all out pace I found the biggest help for me in turns 8 and 11 is to put my front right wheel in the grass trying to straighten up the exit. It lets me get on the gas really early and since my front wheel isn't on the curb it won't spin me.
Turn 5 trail brake deep into it while holding apex (don't touch the curb!), coast for a little before getting hard on the gas. Don't run wide on turn 5 exit, there are many bumps and a tight exit line is faster as well.
Oh, and weight transfer is key through sector 2!

I can run high 1:45s - low 1:46s in hotlap mode consistently (with the 911 or 488), can reach 1:44 if I'm lucky. The lambo is also really fast at the track despite having to hold back a lot through sector 2.

 

Thanks again everyone. I got my best down to 1:45.87 and getting more consistent low 1:46s. I think I'll give it a rest for now.

 

You should only tap the brakes to bring the front in, but very gentle tap. If you brake slightly more than necessary, than you’ll bleed a lot of speed (talking about 4-6km/h)and need to compensate by giving more gas than necessary during corner, which translates to understeer.

With a slight tap, you must manage your corner speed much more, with 0 to 2-3%throttle at most, preferable at 0, baby sitting the car during the corner with as little wheel input as necessary, no corrections, full gas when you get the grip and trajectory set.

 

If you struggle to adjust your driving style and want to see if changing car setup helps :

If you suffer from mid corner to exit understeer when you touch the throttle you can try this
Adding front slow rebound
Adding rear slow bump
This will slow down weight transfer to the rear.

A bigger change would be
Add rear antiroll bar
Add rear spring
This works if you don't have any corner entry understeer and already have a fairly well balanced car

 

When you're going those times that must be the alien times. Can you show what times are for the pro, pro-am and am?
