Chequered Flag for WHC136!
Final times to be confirmed.
Phew!
Wow!
Tibor Solyom!

What a sporting day today has been too. With an F1 GP at Silverstone, no spoilers, epic tennis final at Wimbledon, no spoilers, and England, eventually, by the finest possible margin, win the World Cup (at cricket) at Lords in London!
Back to WHC 136 and @Tibor Solyom is most definitely “is faster than you, Nick…” In fact Tibor had time to get out of the car and have a pint before I crossed the line.
5mins 58secs over 24.4km is an average speed of 152mph (245kmh) around the Green Hell. That’s an amazing lap, many congratulations. I hope you can post the vid. Time to open a uchube channel Tibor!

But Tibor’s not the only one to put in a stella time this week –
Early week
@StyleF1re returns out of the blue and starts the week with a very excellent 6mins 14secs. Carefully avoiding further explanation about the donkey, he then painstakingly hones this to a 6.13. Great time, I think a trip from Hawai to the Eiffel Forest is in order!

Then, @Pretend racer pops in a shockingly fast time. He posts an eye-widening 6mins 4secs, shows us how with a riveting film, I didn’t blink, and gives us a great set-up. Thanks from all of us!

@moodyryder sandbags with a 6.25 and posts a vid that clearly shows where he can improve by eighteen seconds. He says he’s parking up but he’s a veteran, he has the experience. And he does it. On the way to the pits! A 6.07. It’s brilliant! It’s third place on the podium in a massive WHC challenge!!! Champagne! Groupies!! If that lap doesn’t make a wife happy we might as well all give up!

Midweek, @Lewisxbone, presumably enjoying a faster car, puts in an impressive 6mins 8secs, despite a very restricted view! Great lap.

On Friday @AB770577 joins in with an ominously fast 6mins 10secs. With two improvements he finishes with an outstanding 6 mins 3secs on a Sunday morning. That’s second place and very, very fast and he’s using a console.

Also this week,
We had @ignission. Which is excellent timing for the 60th anniversary of the moon landings, but sadly no lap time….this week…
On Thursday Tibor finally posted the rankings.
@Chaos_Chris announced a new hill record at Goodwood in the Pikes Peak car. Not clear whether he set the time, but, being a WHCer, we can presume that he is also quicker than Nick too.
By Friday @pangyorhee set a good time, but it nearly finished him… Tibor posted the rankings again!
On Saturday @LeiF drove the challenge with a full tank and medium tyres, presumably in the spirit of BMW, and bagged a very respectable 6.34. What it could have been with a set-up and softs…?
And today, even though @Mustang500 gallops in with a 6.12, AB770577 presses hard and delivers his 6.03, today belongs to Tibor! Many congrats!

Well done to everyone, too many to mention, but personal targets were set and in many cases, beaten. It was tough, great effort all round!

We're off to the Costa Brava but there’s no relaxing, WHC 137 is coming right up.

Correction!!
Many apologies, just too excited, I'm all over the place... it's @Pretend racer who takes third place on the podium! He gets the champagne!
The podium just isn't big enough this week!
Apologies to both Pretend racer and @moodyryder for the error.

 

Really awesome challenge - did ~ 20laps(!) "against" 110ps-600ps cars with hard tyres and >100l fuel and more aero. and learned a lot! back to the WHC and *bamm* 5-7s faster - but no clean lap. so all my respect to everyone who participated and did a clean lap. thank you @Totall Wrytoff for the schumi sound. i heard it so many times 15 years ago. it was really really touching my heart!

 

Now it's quite useless, sorry for that. At least now I know how to do it for the next time. And the "Keep replay" button in Content Manager means "Delete replay forever" (no bashing it, it's brilliant)
My best lap from Saturday was cleaner, this one is slightly overdone, but it's only 2 tenths slower. I think I left 2-3 sec there.
Magnificent challenge, thanks Totall!

 

Holy moly. Ok I didn’t “nail” the first 1.20 .
You were a gear ahead in at least 3 corners at the first section alone.
Looking forward to next nordforshlife challenge!

Yes, very nice lap, I would agree you have a couple of seconds up your sleeve. My top speeds were very similar, which was good to see they weren't far apart. I definitely learned a lot from watching that. Your set up was awesome. Nice job.

 

Thanks! Actually I found this setup on SetupMarket, it's from LP69 Turbinchen, I only added 1 click Rear wing, it gave me better balance (for my taste ofc).
