It just struck me, there's ceiling a "tipid racer" will bump into. regardless of the skill he has, a car will move not go beyond its limits, so what a driver can do is always be at the limit of the car to achieve the best possible time
But a daily driven lancer with 120 BHP, r1 coilover, (dead damper) and evo brakes, 15's 195/55/15 neova's will only run 51.XX sec on track. and to achieve it my balls are literally at my neck and that im "in the game". been hitting 53.XX s lately...
I have found that to be able to achieve 4X.XX secs, i would need to strip my car of AC, power steering, trim, and probably fiberglass all removable panels, then purchase intermediate tires.
2nd option is to go turbo and lightening, etc...
but it would defeat "tipidracing's ideal", which is to be competitive yet affordable.
Call it sour graping or whatever, its really injustice to fight with superlightened b16, d16T, b18 Honda's, Subaru's with 200 whp with all the intermediate tires they use. I think time bracketing losses the realization of who has the skills.
people may say, its about being precise on the bracket, but really, please tell me, how can you become faster if you're not aiming for a faster time, and what you are aiming for is just a repeat of what you've done the last time?
its not easy to kickass without burning money in Class A or fastest time... i should have just stayed in Class B on my 1.6 SOHC 90 whp with 54.XX sec lap time and go with the flow about being precise...
