Thruxton Telemetry - Qualify Laps Compared

Comparing dry qualify fastest and second fastest laps
Lap 6 – 1:25.82
Lap 7 – 1:25.66


Lap 7 was slower from the start all the way through to Goodwood (had traffic to pass in the complex). My lap 7 line through Noble was neater, missing the bumps on the exit and giving me a better transition into the entry of Goodwood. This is represented by the first green line (showing an improved sector) on the trackmap. I managed a better run out of Goodwood, probably due to a better line and that makes quite a difference down to church (first part of the medium thickness green line on the trackmap). Then I get a better run through Church itself and that makes the difference all the way through to the end of the lap (thickest green line shown on the trackmap). The improvements in the last part of the lap can be seen from the top speeds. On my fastest lap I maxed out at 132mph compared with 127mph on the second best lap. If I am able to combine the first half of lap 6 with the second half of lap 7 that lap would have been a 1:25 dead. .
