[DavidM]

A while ago I was going to do something about publishing the best times for the local tracks in an S2000 (though, no reason why we can't list ITR as well). I figured that I can just start a thread here and I can update this original post with the new/additional times. So, if anyone has a time (or track) that should be here, then please post it here with details (ie. driver, car, time reference, tyres and mods) and I'll update this post.

[AusS2000]

I'll claim a 2:03 at Eastern Creek (stock) and 1:13 at Wakefield (SC and rubber).

[naishou]

Mine was 1:14.04 if I remember correctly. We have a hand timed 1:13.5 from a HSCC track day though. Can anyone remember the driver's name? I think it was David funnily enough.

[DavidM]

Aus, can you be more specific with the times (ie. exact time)? Reason I ask is as 1 sec range is a lot of time when you're talking lap times. I'd like to put in something exact.

Naishou, 1:14:04 is it, the 1:13.5 I'll leave out as that time is not referencable.

[AusS2000]

Not really. Those times were off video footage and the error margin is probably more than 0.5 of a second.

Thanks Iggy .... I knew that Ben was in 1:44s, but was not aware of 1:43s. Can you (somehow) verify that time? Do you recall what event? I'd love to reference it as this would be the best time for 'stock' S2000 that I know off.

If you don't know, and you are in touch with Ben, can you get him to PM me?

I remember that ben was on 1.44.40 (at the WRX event) but I remember him saying that he cut 0.5s off at the John Bowe day... this was a while ago so I don't remember if that's an accurate account.

I'll give him a call when I get back to Australia. :)

[yellafellaS2000]

David can you put the YellaFella down for a 1:04:02 at Wakefield in a Formula Holden
YellaFella:what:

[AusS2000]

I think that might be too many mods!

[DavidM]

Hey Yellafella, I'm with Aus on this one ... I heard about 'cheating' but this is just a bit overboard :-)

I remember that ben was on 1.44.40 (at the WRX event)

Yep, you're right - I just verified that one 1:44.46 for Ben on 16 Feb 2002. I've put that one up there .... though, I'm not sure whether he was still on the R-spec rubber then, or on the S02s. Can you (or Ben) confirm? Iggy, do you want any of your ITR times here?

Sandown 1.33.93 - S2000, R spec rubber

Added to the list.

ps. Anyone knows how we can make this thread 'stick' so it's on top? ... I'm guessing that's the best place for it.

Pm one of our mods David. I cant remember who they are but they are listed at the top of the forum page.

[Typeone_AP1]

Hmmm sorry no offense at all but I think for a stock S2K 2.03.xx looks kinda too slow at EC, i believe it should get below 2min.

Also that at wakefield running only 1.13.xx with r spec rubber that looks quite slow as well, may i know what rubber r they? coz a friend of mine lapping in his DC2 at 1.11.xx or 1.12.xx all his got was toyo RA-01 plus racing pads. With this setup he got way under 2min at EC

I believe that S2K should be able to lap round 2sec faster than a DC2 or maybe 1sec at smaller track

[DavidM]

Hi Typeone_AP1,
What is 'possible' and what has actually been managed are two different things. Yes, the car may be capable of xx:xx.xx time, but it needs a driver to extract that. I am of the opinion that a stock S2000 could return 1 mid 1:43 time at Winton .... though, I have not managed that and I have been there a few times.

Look at the Phillip Island time set by Wayne Gardner - I don't think we have a person here who has got closer than 5secs to that time with stock tyres (ie. as WG's car). Hey, we don't have anyone here who has come close with R-spec rubber.

Partially the problem 'we' have is that there are not many of us tracking the S2000. Look at all the names listed in the 'hall of fame' ... there are not many more.

...all his got was toyo RA-01 plus racing pads

RA-1s are a very R-spec rubber ... that is worth good 2-3secs per lap. The R-spec rubber on S2000 is usually RE540s, DJ101 or RA-1.

OK if that's allowed you can put me down for 1:04 in a Formula Ford.

You guys should start your own hall-of-fame ... it could include open wheelers, helicopters and jet fighters :-)

[naishou]

At Eastern Creek about 1:57 should be possible. This is based only on the observation that at other tracks the S2000 does almost identical times to the MGF Trophy cars, and they do 1:57 at Eastern Creek.

I've seen a stock DC2 Integra do 1:12 at Wakefield on Dunlop D01Js but 1:11 sounds a little too quick. The guy who did the 1:12 was a very experienced racing driver. Wakefield Park doesn't really suit the S2000. The gears are all wrong and it's handicapped by its tailiness in a few places. I've gone 2.5 seconds quicker in a MY00 WRX with only RE540s and Whiteline anti-roll bars than I could manage in the stock S2000.

Wow take it easy dude, as i said no offense at all. I'm not saying these guys are crap driver or something also that i didnt say the S2K is shit or something.

I just curious that's all if that's ur reason OK fair enuf. and bout the rubber at the top it only mentioned R-spec, so im assuming they r soemthing like re540 or d01J as these tyres are quite popular for tracker enthusiast.

Btw i'm still talking about the S2K, not formula ford or chopper. Sorry if u feel offended man

[DavidM]

Typeone_AP1,
No offence taken at all. You asked a question and I answered it ... if it sounded like I took offence then I'm sorry, but there was no intent.

and bout the rubber at the top it only mentioned R-spec, so im assuming they r soemthing like re540 or d01J as these tyres are quite popular for tracker enthusiast.

You are correct. As mentioned previously the R-spec rubber used on the S2000 is mostly RE540s, DJ101 or RA-1.

[naishou]

Can't write and can't read either apparently.

Hey Iggy,
All your times are included now. Though, can you tell me what your is your Type-R? Or even betterm what is the model designation for your model ... is it DC5? I want to document that it is not the new/current model.

ps. I'm still impressed with that PI time.
