ITA spec miata speed

[BruceG]

Can anyone tell me the average race speed thru turn 9(west bend) and other the bridge for a Miata at LRP. I'm trying to figure what that speed should be when running an MX5 cup miata on iracing at LRP.

Thanks for any help

I know an am at about 98-100 at the apex of the downhill in 4th. Betting it's between 85-95 from West Bend apex to just past bridge. Will have to look at specific data trace.

Thanks, Andy...seems about right for iracing, as well.

MX5 on iRacing a good lap time is in the 59's. I have seen people in the 58's.

West bend should be a lift and/or left foot brake to set the car. If you go too hard you will understeer and mess your track out speed. Or better yet try and recover and snap it into the inside wall under the bridge. At least that is what I do.

Enjoy.

That's too fast. Actual fast time I can find for an real MX-5 cup car is 1:01.0 in 2011. Most times are mid 1:01's to mid 1:02's.

Maybe I should be driving a MX-5 cup car then.
